  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Raiders' Mack Hollins: Grabs TD in win over Houston

    Hollins caught two of three targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Texans.

    Josh Jacobs and the Raiders' defense accounted for most of the team's points, but Hollins was on the other end of Derek Carr's only TD pass of the day just before halftime. It's the veteran wideout's second score of the year, but with only 12 targets over the last three games, he remains a risky fantasy option heading into a Week 8 clash with the Saints.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Modest numbers against Texans

    Renfrow caught all three of his targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Texans.

    The Raiders leaned on Josh Jacobs and the defense for four TDs in the rout, and what little passing production there was largely went to Davante Adams, with Mack Hollins also being on the other end of Derek Carr's only touchdown pass. The three targets were a season low for Renfrow, but the slot receiver should be more involved in Week 8 against the Saints.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Raiders' Davante Adams: Eight grabs Sunday

    Adams caught eight of nine targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Texans.

    The Raiders' passing game didn't have much to do during a game in which Josh Jacobs and the defense combined for four TDs, but as usual, Adams led the club in receptions, targets and receiving yards. It's the third time in six games the former Packer has hauled in at least eight passes, and it's only the second time he failed to get into the end zone. While his floor remains outstanding, Adams could have something closer to a ceiling game in Week 8 against a Saints secondary that just got lit up by DeAndre Hopkins on Thursday night.

  • Texans' Phillip Dorsett: Finds end zone in loss to Raiders

    Dorsett caught two of three targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Raiders.

    The veteran wideout's only reception of the season prior to Sunday came back in Week 3, but Dorsett got a little more involved in this one and got into the end zone for the first time since 2019 when he hauled in a 25-yard toss from Davis Mills late in the third quarter. Houston's thin WR group got a little thinner Sunday when Nico Collins suffered a groin injury, and Brandin Cooks might be on the trade block, so Dorsett could be headed for a much more significant role in Week 8 against the Titans.

  • Chris Moore WR | BAL

    Texans' Chris Moore: Hauls in first TD of season

    Moore caught two of four targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Raiders.

    After missing the Texans' last game before their bye due to a hip issue, Moore returned to action and got his team on the board with his first TD of the season on a 13-yard grab early in the second quarter. Houston's thin wideout corps got a little thinner Sunday when Nico Collins suffered a groin injury, and Brandin Cooks might be on the trade block, so Moore could be headed for a much more significant role in Week 8 against the Titans.

  • Texans' Brandin Cooks: Four grabs against Vegas

    Cooks caught four of five targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Raiders.

    While Houston quarterback Davis Mills set season highs in passing attempts, completions and yards, Cooks didn't wind up seeing much of that production. The five targets were actually a season low for the veteran wideout, although his fantasy floor remains solid as he's caught at least four passes in every game but one. With trade rumors swirling around him, Cooks' value could receive a boost if he's sent to a contender with a need for a downfield threat, but if he remains with the Texans, he'll face the Titans in Week 8.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: X-rays negative

    X-rays on Metcalf's knee came back negative after Sunday's 37-23 win over the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Metcalf was ruled out due to a knee injury, but he didn't break any bones. Per Schefter, Metcalf's scheduled to undergo further testing after the team returns to Seattle. Those additional tests will reveal the precise nature and significance of the wide receiver's knee injury.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Makes most of limited opportunities

    Higgins recorded five receptions on seven targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 25-17 win over the Falcons.

    Higgins finished fourth on the team in targets but was plenty efficient with his opportunity. Three of his five receptions went for more than 20 yards, and he narrowly missed on a bigger performance after being tackled at the one-yard line midway through the third quarter. After a few games being hobbled by an ankle injury, Higgins looked to be closer to full strength -- a good sign for his potential production moving forward.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Jets' Corey Davis: Sprains MCL in Week 7 win

    Davis sprained his MCL in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Broncos, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Davis wasn't officially ruled out at any point, but he spent the entire second half on the sidelines and finished the game without a catch on one target. Coach Robert Saleh said the team doesn't expect an extended absence as a result of the injury, but Davis' status will still require monitoring ahead of New York's Week 8 home game against the Patriots.

  • Mike Williams WR | LAC

    Chargers' Mike Williams: Hurts ankle against Seahawks

    Williams injured his ankle in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Williams is officially listed as questionable to return, but he almost certainly won't come back into the game against Seattle with Los Angeles trailing by three touchdowns down the stretch. Per Lindsey Thiry of ESPN, Williams was put on a cart on the sideline and taken to the locker room. The Chargers' timely Week 8 bye will give Williams an extra week to heal up before a Week 9 contest against the Falcons. He caught seven of nine targets for 86 yards and a touchdown prior to getting injured.
