St. Brown did not catch a pass but did have one carry for 13 yards in Sunday's 24-10 victory over Washington.

He couldn't haul in the lone pass thrown his direction Week 7, but he did make an impact on his lone rushing attempt in the contest. St. Brown -- who had a touchdown wiped off the board Week 6 due to an offensive pass interference penalty -- has steadily seen his snap count percentage increase, from 15.3 percent Week 4 to a season-high 21.4 percent in Sunday's contest.

Meyers hauled in five of his seven targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets.

Meyers, who logged a team-high 59 snaps on offense (out of a possible 76) among the team's wideouts, duplicated his Week 6 stat line Sunday, on one less target. Though he has yet to record a regular-season receiving TD in his NFL career, Meyers maintains PRR utility, given his steady dose of playing time and targets. Through seven games, the 24-year-old leads the Patriots in catches (41), targets (59) and receiving yards (390). In Week 8, he'll be facing a Chargers defense that has allowed an average of 201.8 passing yards per game, a less favorable matchup than the Jets were no doubt, but Meyers should continue to see his share of looks this coming weekend, regardless of game flow.

Cobb was targeted four times and caught three passes for 22 yards in Sunday's 24-10 victory over Washington.

Cobb got back on the board after being held without a catch Week 6, but he didn't do a whole lot for those who included him in their fantasy lineups. He did reward those that started him Week 4, but outside of that contest he's racked up just nine catches for 110 yards -- and no scores -- over six games.

Skowronek returned four kickoffs for 70 yards during Sunday's 28-19 win over Detroit.

This was the first game the rookie has returned kicks for the Rams, and it will be interesting to see if he keeps the job after fellow rookie Tutu Atwell handled the role the previous two weeks. While probably not fantasy relevant in most settings, it's still a minor development to note.

Atwell played a single offensive snap and didn't see the field on special teams during Sunday's 28-19 win over Detroit.

While scarce playing time is nothing new for Atwell, it was fellow rookie Ben Skowronek returning kicks for the Rams on Sunday, and not Atwell. Fantasy settings where either Atwell or Skowronek are factors are probably few and far between, but this is still a minor development of note.

Jefferson caught four of seven targets for 43 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-19 win over Detroit. He played a season-high 61 offensive snaps, too.

With the Lions leading to start the game, and then again in the third quarter, Los Angeles leaned of three-receiver sets more frequently. It resulted in Jefferson's highest snap share of the season, as he played 94 percent of the offensive snaps. Still, it was another big day for Cooper Kupp (10-156-2), and Robert Woods caught all six of his targets for 70 yards. Additionally, tight end Tyler Higbee garnered eight targets. So, while it was encouraging to see Jefferson's playing time jump and have him find the end zone Sunday, more week-to-week inconsistency is probably ahead.

Johnson caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over Carolina.

Even with New York's receiving corps battling injuries, Johnson still finished eighth on the team in receiving yards. He was on the field for 21 of the Giants' 72 offensive snaps, so Johnson was actually given ample opportunities to make his mark on this game but simply failed to do so.

Hodge secured his only target for three yards during Sunday's 28-19 loss to the Rams.

Hodge and Geronimo Allison clearly ran behind Kalif Raymond and Amon-Ra St. Brown, but Raymond was the only one to see more than two targets. Even with Quintez Cephus (collarbone) and Tyrell Williams (concussion) on IR, Hodge remains a long shot to become a consistent fantasy contributor in practically any format.

Beckham (shoulder) participated in Monday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Beckham has been dealing with a right shoulder sprain recently, but he played through the injury in Thursday's win over the Broncos and secured two of six targets for 23 yards. He appeared to aggravate the injury Thursday, but coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that he expects that the 28-year-old will be able to continue playing through the injury. Beckham's participation in Monday's practice is encouraging for his status ahead of Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh.

Brown (knee) will undergo an MRI on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Although Brown will undergo further testing after he left Sunday's loss to the Packers, his injury is believed to be minor. However, the receiver is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Broncos and should be evaluated again after Washington's Week 9 bye.
