Godwin brought in eight of 11 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 38-3 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Although Mike Evans stole the headlines with three touchdown grabs, Godwin was actually the player to pace the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. The fifth-year wideout was also on the receiving end of the first of Tom Brady's four scoring tosses, recording a four-yard touchdown grab late in the first quarter. Godwin now has at least five receptions in three straight contests, and his yardage tally Sunday was a season high. He'll look to build on the dominant effort against the Saints in a Week 8 road clash.

Byrd caught one pass for 10 yards in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Byrd has just four receptions for 29 yards on the season, and unless his role in the Chicago offense changes significantly, he lacks the opportunity to be a reliable fantasy option.

Goodwin caught two passes for 16 yards in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Goodwin tied a season high with four targets, but without a game with 20 yards in any of his last six outings, he'll need an expanded role before being considered a recommended fantasy option.

Evans brought in six of 10 targets for 76 yards and three touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 38-3 win over the Bears on Sunday.

The towering wideout served as Tom Brady's most effective red-zone target on the day, recording touchdown grabs of nine, two and eight yards in the first half. Evans was second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Chris Godwin on the Bucs for the afternoon, and he's now recorded three multi-touchdown efforts on the season, including two in the last three contests. Evans will look to keep up the momentum in a Week 8 divisional road matchup versus Marshon Lattimore and a Saints secondary that's often given him trouble in the past.

Robinson caught two passes for 16 yards in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

In what's been a lost fantasy season for Robinson, this was his worst performance of the season, and it didn't help that the Buccaneers put heavy pressure on Justin Fields for most the game. He's been held to 35 yards or fewer in five of seven games while not finding the end zone since Week 2. Without a performance of 65 yards on the season, it's becoming increasingly difficult to place him in weekly lineups with confidence.

Mooney caught two passes for 39 yards in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

The Buccaneers pressured Justin Fields throughout the afternoon, giving Mooney little chance to operate in his preferred downfield capacity, though he did have receptions of 17 and 22 yards, giving him a passable fantasy performance in a game during which the Bears failed to find the end zone. He's posted between 35 and 45 yards in each of his last three games, and until the offense shows improvement, he'll likely remain no better than a top-40 fantasy option at WR, though his big-play ability gives him some weekly upside.

Kupp totaled 10 receptions on 13 targets for 156 yards and two touchdowns against Detroit on Sunday.

It's been clear for some time now that the change from Jared Goff to Matthew Stafford created the conditions for Kupp to break out to an entirely new level, but it's still difficult to not be more impressed with Kupp each passing week. He's in the hunt for WR1 distinction in fantasy this year, and through seven games he's up to 56 receptions for 809 yards and nine touchdowns (69.1 percent catch rate, 10.0 yards per target). The Rams face the Texans in Week 8, so the sailing could remain smooth for Kupp in his next matchup.

Moore recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Giants.

Moore accounted for 73 of the Panthers' 144 yards through the air Sunday, but he couldn't post a better line due to the poor play of Sam Darnold. He recorded receptions of 21, 19 and 12 yards to pick up most of his yardage and has now logged a catch of at least 20 yards in six of seven contests. Moore has also had consistent volume and racked up double-digit targets in five games this season while falling below 70 yards in a matchup only once.

Arcega-Whiteside (back) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Raiders.

Arcega-Whiteside appeared to suffer the injury while recording a tackle on punt coverage in the third quarter of Sunday's contest. The 24-year-old wideout hasn't been a part of the Eagles' offensive game plan this season, so his absence shouldn't affect their rotations.

Gage (ankle) brought in four of six targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 30-28 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Gage made a splashy return from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, sharing runner-up status in receptions and coming in second in receiving yardage on the day for the Falcons. Gage also found the end zone for the first time this season on a 49-yard scoring grab that appeared to unfold due to a blown coverage early in the third quarter. Now apparently back to full health, Gage will look to continue serving as a dependable No. 2 receiving option for Matt Ryan in a Week 8 divisional home matchup against the Panthers.
