  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Dolphins' Mack Hollins: First score of season

    Hollins caught two of three catches for 13 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Falcons.

    Hollins played 51 percent of offensive snaps with DeVante Parker (shoulder) and Will Fuller (finger) both still sidelined, and he translated that opportunity into his first touchdown of the year and the third of his NFL career. It's possible that Miami's receiving corps could still be missing Parker and Fuller for Week 8's road game against the Bills, but even in that case, Hollins can't be considered a reliable enough fantasy asset to warrant consideration in any but the deepest of formats.

  • Browns' Donovan Peoples-Jones: Misses Monday's practice

    Peoples-Jones (groin) did not practice Monday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Peoples-Jones was on the active roster for Week 7 but did not play after injuring the groin during pregame warmups. It's natural for the Browns to ease him into the preparation week for this Sunday's game against the Steelers, and the team should learn more about the receiver's status in the coming days.

  • Quez Watkins WR | IND

    Eagles' Quez Watkins: Two grabs in loss

    Watkins caught two of his four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 33-22 loss to Las Vegas.

    Watkins didn't see a target until midway through the third quarter with the Eagles trailing by 23. He kept his streak of at least two catches in every game this season intact. Unfortunately, the 23-year-old has only topped 50 yards once this year, and that was back in Week 2.

  • Jalen Reagor WR | MIA

    Eagles' Jalen Reagor: Hauls in touchdown in loss

    Reagor caught both of his targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-22 loss to Las Vegas. He also had one rushing attempt for no gain.

    Reagor saw his lowest target total over the last three weeks, and none of them came until garbage time. Fortunately, one of his chances came in the red zone, and he converted it into a score. The TCU product is still an afterthought in an average offense, however.

  • Zay Jones WR | HOU

    Raiders' Zay Jones: Secures difficult catch in win

    Jones caught his only target for 43 yards in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Eagles.

    Jones made an impressive 43-yard sideline grab on third and long when the Raiders were trailing by seven points in the first quarter, but he ultimately played less than 15 offensive snaps for a fourth consecutive game. Jones is averaging just one target per game ahead of the team's Week 8 bye.

  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Another poor outing with backup QB

    Lockett caught two of three targets for just 12 yards in Monday's 13-10 loss to New Orleans.

    Lockett turned in his second dismal performance with Geno Smith under center. The backup quarterback can't be blamed for all of his wideout's shortcomings, as Lockett had been struggling when Russell Wilson (finger) was healthy outside of Weeks 1 and 2. The 28-year-old possesses the explosive talent to ignite a huge fantasy game on any given week, but perhaps it's best to explore other options, at least until Wilson returns from IR.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Rips off huge score in loss

    Metcalf (foot) caught two of five targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 13-10 loss to New Orleans.

    Metcalf managers had a bit of an scare earlier in the week when he popped up on the injury report with a foot injury on the last day of team practice, but the speedster turned out to be healthy enough to suit up for Monday's contest. The 23-year-old rewarded fantasy managers with a career-high 84-yard touchdown catch and run after beating his assignment on a go route in the first quarter. Metcalf has managed to stay relevant over the past two weeks even with the sub-par Geno Smith under center, and he will attempt to continue doing so for at least one more game when Seattle takes on the Jaguars before the team's bye week.

  • Tre'Quan Smith WR | DET

    Saints' Tre'Quan Smith: One catch in ugly season debut

    Smith (hamstring) caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Monday's 13-10 win over the Seahawks.

    Smith was noticeable for all the wrong reasons in his season debut, registering an early drop and later getting into a shouting match with quarterback Jameis Winston on the sideline after Smith failed to line up correctly. He completed the trifecta of miscues when he nearly derailed what turned out to be New Orleans' game-winning drive with an offensive pass interference penalty, but Smith made amends by gaining 11 yards on the very next play, turning the 2nd-and-16 hole he created into a manageable 3rd-and-5. Smith's a downfield burner who could benefit from Winston's big arm as soon as Week 8 against the Buccaneers, though we can't blame you for not rushing to the waiver wire for the 25-year-old receiver after this performance.

  • Saints' Marquez Callaway: Cools down in Seattle

    Callaway caught three of seven targets for 32 yards in Monday's 13-10 win over the Seahawks.

    Callaway got open in the back of the end zone on New Orleans' first scoring drive, but a Seattle linebacker was able to knock the ball down on its way to Callaway, forcing the Saints to settle for a field goal. He led all Saints wide receivers in catches, targets and receiving yards, as running back Alvin Kamara (128 receiving yards and a touchdown) was the only New Orleans pass-catcher that was able to get going in this one. Callaway had totaled three touchdowns in his previous three games, and this was his lowest yardage total since Week 2, so he'll likely bounce back in Week 8 against the Buccaneers.

  • Rondale Moore WR | MIN

    Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Notches two catches Sunday

    Moore caught two of his three targets for 17 yards and returned two punts for 27 yards during Sunday's 31-5 win against the Texans.

    Moore logged a healthy dose of snaps -- 37 of 71 on offense -- but he ranked well behind the Cardinals' top trio of A.J. Green (60), DeAndre Hopkins (59) and Christian Kirk (51). Newcomer Zach Ertz (five targets on 35 offensive plays) and running back Chase Edmonds (three targets) also were parts of the passing game, leaving few looks for the rookie wide receiver. With Ertz likely to increase his role moving forward, Moore may have to take full advantage of the random reps he receives on a weekly basis in order to provide any fantasy value.
