Coach Adam Gase said Monday that Perriman is in the concussion protocol, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Perriman exited Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Bills in the fourth quarter, before which time he caught two of three targets for 27 yards. He'll need to fully clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before retaking the field. With Jamison Crowder (groin) also banged up, the Jets' receiving corps once again could be missing its top options at Kansas City in Week 8.

Claypool hauled in his lone target for minus two yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans.

Claypool took the field for 65 percent of the snaps on offense Sunday, but his target share diminished with Diontae Johnson (ankle) back in action. The 2020 second-round pick was used as a decoy in several goal-line situations but touched the ball only once against Tennessee. While Claypool's playing time remained steady, his production took a significant hit with all of the Steelers' receivers healthy for most of the game. The ankle injury suffered by Johnson in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest isn't expected to jeopardize his status for Week 8, and Claypool will have a tough test as he attempts to regain significant production against the stingy Ravens defense.

Taylor was targeted twice and tallied two receptions for six yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-20 victory over the Texans.

The two receptions were a career high for Taylor, and the touchdown was his first as a professional. Despite making some impact in the box score, it should be noted that Taylor was on the field for just 10 plays and finished a distant fourth in snaps among Packers receivers after ending up third in that department Week 6 and second in the team's previous game Week 4.

McCloud brought in both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans.

McCloud's 12 receiving yards Sunday matched his highest total of the season, but he once again saw a minimal role as he was on the field for just eight of a possible 79 offensive snaps. Even though the Steelers attempted 49 passes against Tennessee, McCloud's target share was low with all of the team's receivers fully healthy for most of the game. The 2018 sixth-round pick has mainly been used on special teams as his offensive potential remains capped.

Washington, who was on the field for 18 of the Steelers' 79 offensive plays, failed to secure his only target in Sunday's 27-24 win over Tennessee.

Washington recorded at least 20 receiving yards in each of the first five games of the season, including a season-high 68 yards Week 6. However, Diontae Johnson (ankle) returned to the field against the Titans and was targeted 15 times in the win before suffering an injury in the fourth quarter. While Washington was relatively productive earlier in the year with Johnson on the field, his potential is more limited with the receiving corps fully healthy. Washington will face a tough matchup Week 8 against the Ravens.

Gallup failed to catch either of his targets in Sunday's 25-3 loss to Washington.

The third-year receiver's production bottomed out on a day in which the Cowboys were forced to turn to rookie seventh-round pick Ben DiNucci after Andy Dalton (concussion) left the game, with neither QB getting time in the pocket behind a patchwork offensive line. The outlook for the entire Dallas offense is bleak heading into Week 8's road clash with the Eagles, but if DiNucci does make his first NFL start, Gallup will at least be starting from the same place as Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb in terms of chemistry with the young signal-caller.

Valdes-Scantling did not catch a pass in Sunday's 35-20 victory over the Texans but did have one carry for nine yards.

Valdes-Scantling played by far the second-most snaps among Packers wideouts and was targeted four times, but he ultimately only ended up with the lone touch on the ground. He should continue seeing the field plenty until Allen Lazard (abdomen) returns, and his next matchup will come against a Vikings team he recorded 96 yards and a score against Week 1. However, with just 91 yards from scrimmage over his last four games, it's tough to trust Valdes-Scantling in fantasy lineups right now.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that he expects Hodge (hamstring) to return this Sunday against the Raiders, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Hodge has missed the past four games due to a hamstring injury, but he's in line to start practicing this week, which would open a 21-day window for him to return from IR. This would be a timely return for the Browns, as they lost star receiver Odell Beckham (torn ACL) for the season during this past Sunday's win over the Bengals. Upon his return to action, Hodge could handle a decent workload immediately, although rookie Donovan Peoples-Jones looks like the favorite to snag the No. 3 role moving forward. Hodge produced three receptions for 51 yards over the first three games this year.

Johnson secured both his targets for four yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

The rookie is starting to demonstrate a knack for making excellent use of his relatively sparse opportunities, as he now has a pair of touchdown grabs on a combined three receptions over the last two games. On Sunday, Johnson found the end zone from a yard out with 3:08 remaining to put an exclamation point on the lopsided win for the Buccaneers. While his recent fantasy production is encouraging to an extent, the outlook for Johnson isn't too bright moving forward, considering Antonio Brown's on-field debut in what will likely be Week 9 is poised to have the domino effect of bumping everyone on the latter portion of the receiver depth chart down a notch.

Moore caught all three targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Cardinals. He also added a four-yard carry.

It was the Tyler Lockett show for Seattle, as the star receiver caught 15 passes for 200 yards and three scores, but Moore made some key plays to keep drives alive. Each pass Moore caught went for a first down, including a third-down conversion in the fourth quarter that set up a Lockett touchdown just a few plays later. Moore's not a weekly play in redraft fantasy formats, but he has big-play ability and remains a tournament DFS play.
