Lazard departed Sunday's game in Washington due to a shoulder injury.

After recording a 17-yard reception at the end of the third quarter, Lazard went to the bench to be examined by the Packers' medical staff, according to Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site. While he returned to the game for at least one play, Lazard wasn't targeted again and likely will finish Week 7 action with six catches (on seven targets) for 55 yards.

Gage picked up a hamstring injury during Sunday's contest at Carolina, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Before exiting in the fourth quarter, Gage reeled in four of his five targets for 39 yards. He tended to a hamstring injury for the first four weeks of the campaign, so the fifth-year wide receiver may have aggravated the issue.

Hart (hamstring) in inactive Sunday against the Chargers.

Hart was considered doubtful coming into the contest, so his absence is not a surprise. He contributes more on special teams than offense, so his absence is unlikely to have an impact for fantasy purposes.

Lockett (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 7 clash against the Chargers.

The news surrounding Lockett's outlook had been increasingly positive throughout the weekend, and the veteran's active status is now confirmed. Lockett should therefore slot into his usual No. 2 role against a stingy Chargers pass defense that's allowed just 201.7 passing yards per game over the last three contests.

Allen (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Allen is thus in uniform for game action for the first time since Week 1, though it remains to be seen how close to his normal allotment of snaps he'll see in his return to the mix, a context that makes the 30-year-old a speculative fantasy lineup option in Week 7. Given that Joshua Palmer (concussion) is out Sunday, however, the Chargers will gladly take anything they can get from Allen, who will work alongside Mike Williams versus Seattle, with DeAndre Carter also in the team's WR mix.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus the Raiders, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

After Johnson took the field for 43 percent of Houston's offensive snaps Week 5 against Jacksonville, the Texans have elected to sit him Sunday following their Week 6 bye. Johnson has yet to see a target in two appearances this season.

Moore (hip) is active for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Raiders, Drew Dougherty of the team's official site reports.

Moore will therefore be active for the first time since Week 4, as he sat out the Texans' Week 5 game before their bye. The veteran should slide back into his usual No. 3 receiver role behind Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins against Las Vegas.

Hollins (heel) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Though Hollins recorded a 95 percent snap share in the Raiders' 30-29 loss to Kansas City back in Week 5, the wideout didn't haul in any of his four targets in the contest. With top TE Darren Waller (hamstring) out Sunday, however, Hollins has some bounce-back potential, but it remains to be seen how much the heel issue that limited him in practice this past week affects him, if at all, versus Houston.

Renfrow (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

After missing practice Thursday, Renfrow returned to a limited session Friday, and he'll give it a go Sunday. With top tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) out, the Raiders' slot man is a candidate to see a solid share of looks in the passing game versus Houston, assuming no setbacks with his hip issue. In three games to date, Renfrow has logged 14 catches (on 20 targets) for 105 yards, and assuming he can avoid further injuries in the coming weeks, the 26-year-old should garner enough target volume to yield PPR utility.

St. Brown sustained a concussion during Sunday's game at Dallas.

Per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, St. Brown appeared to stumble toward the sideline after taking a hit on the Lions' second possession of the contest. The nearest referee sent St. Brown to the sideline, and after a visit to the blue medical tent, the wide receiver went to the locker room without a helmet, at which point a concussion was confirmed. St. Brown -- who won't return to Sunday's game -- thus will be subject to the protocol for head injuries before he'll be able to return to action.
