  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Targeted six times in loss

    Renfrow caught four of six targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 45-20 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Renfrow was back on quarterback Derek Carr's radar following the team's bye, having been targeted just once in Week 5 at Kansas City. The Clemson product will now face a Browns secondary that just gave up over 400 passing yards in a close win over the Bengals on Sunday.

  • Browns' Donovan Peoples-Jones: Set for expanded role

    Peoples-Jones should serve as the No. 3 wide receiver moving forward following news that Odell Beckham (torn ACL) is out for the season, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Beckham left on the first drive of the game, so Peoples-Jones received his first real opportunity as a receiver afterwards. The rookie capitalized, reeling in all three of his targets for 56 yards and a game-winning touchdown. The increased volume should continue, as he's expected to slot in as the No. 3 wideout behind Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins. The upcoming Week 8 matchup against the Raiders is favorable too, as Las Vegas has allowed the fifth-most passing yards per game (283.3) this year.

  • Jalen Guyton WR | LV

    Chargers' Jalen Guyton: Hauls in long TD in win

    Guyton caught two of three targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-29 win over the Jaguars.

    The second-year receiver has yet to see more than three targets in any game this season, but Guyton made his low volume count Sunday as he hauled in a pass down the sideline from Justin Herbert and turned it into a 70-yard score late in the third quarter, marking his third TD of the year. Guyton's role isn't likely to change any time soon, but he'll remain a deep threat and a DFS dart throw for Week 8's road game against the Broncos.

  • Browns' Odell Beckham: ACL tear confirmed

    Beckham (knee) informed Josina Anderson of ESPN on Monday that he has suffered a season-ending ACL tear in his left knee.

    Beckham sustained the season-ending injury during Sunday's 37-34 win over the Bengals while attempting to chase down cornerback Darius Phillips after Baker Mayfield threw an interception on his first pass of the game. The Browns will doubtless place the star wideout on injured reserve in the near future as he sets his sights on making a recovery for 2021. With Beckham out, Rashard Higgins and Donovan Peoples-Jones, both of whom impressed during Sunday's divisional win, will be in line for added offensive reps alongside Jarvis Landry. The 27-year-old Beckham's 2020 campaign comes to an end with 23 catches for 319 yards and four touchdowns (three receiving, one rushing) in seven appearances, plus three carries for 72 yards.

  • Jalen Reagor WR | MIA

    Eagles' Jalen Reagor: Practice window officially opens

    The Eagles designated Reagor (thumb) for return from injured reserve Monday.

    Reagor will be eligible to resume practicing without counting against the 53-man roster Monday, kicking off a 21-day window for evaluation. The Eagles can officially add him to the active roster at any time during that span, so the rookie first-round pick could be trending toward availability for Sunday night's upcoming contest against the Cowboys. Reagor has missed the last five games while recovering from a UCL tear in his thumb.

  • Chris Conley WR | SF

    Jaguars' Chris Conley: Hauls in first TD in loss

    Conley caught one of two targets for a 28-yard touchdown in Sunday's 39-29 loss to the Chargers.

    The veteran receiver's first touchdown of the season gave the Jaguars their last lead of the afternoon late in the third quarter, as the Bolts went on to score the game's final 17 points. It's the second straight game in which Conley has caught only one pass, and he's seen just 10 targets from Gardner Minshew over the last four contests as the Jags' No. 4 wideout. Jacksonville could shake up its passing game during its Week 8 bye, however, as Minshew's job security is shaky following six straight losses.

  • Keelan Cole WR | LV

    Jaguars' Keelan Cole: Only one catch Sunday

    Cole caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 39-29 loss to the Chargers.

    It was a disappointing follow-up to Cole's 143-yard eruption against the Lions last week, but the Chargers' pass rush gave Gardner Minshew little time to let routes develop downfield, and the production of the entire WR corps suffered. Cole is on pace for a career-best season heading into Jacksonville's Week 8 bye, but he could be catching passes from a different quarterback on the other side of the break, as Minshew's job security is shaky following six straight losses.

  • Jaguars' Laviska Shenault: Leading receiver in loss

    Shenault caught all three of his targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 39-29 loss to the Chargers. He also gained zero yards on one carry.

    Most of his production came on a 36-yard grab in the second quarter that set up the Jaguars' first touchdown, but that was enough to make Shenault the team's leading receiver on the afternoon. The three targets were the rookie's lowest volume of the year, but that can be attributed to a Chargers pass rush that gave Gardner Minshew little time to let routes develop downfield. Jacksonville will be on bye Week 8, but Shenault could be catching passes from a different quarterback on the other side of the break, as Minshew's job security is shaky following six straight losses.

  • Browns' Donovan Peoples-Jones: Catches game-winner

    Peoples-Jones caught three of three targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 win over Cincinnati.

    Peoples-Jones had two catches on Cleveland's final drive, including the game-winning 24-yard touchdown with 15 seconds left. The Browns' primary returner, Peoples-Jones was thrust into a larger role when Odell Beckham (knee) left the game early. Pending the results of Beckham's MRI, Peoples-Jones could move up to the third wideout on the depth chart for the Week 8 home game against the Raiders.

  • Cardinals' Christian Kirk: Two more TDs in primetime

    Kirk had five receptions (eight targets) for 37 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Seahawks.

    Kirk shined in the national spotlight for the second consecutive game, hitting pay dirt twice after pulling off the same feat on Monday Night Football against the Cowboys last week. The recent explosion of touchdowns for the third-year man came out of left field, as he averaged just three scores each of his previous two seasons. Kirk -- a 5'11" slot receiver -- doesn't scream "red-zone target," but fantasy managers certainly won't scoff at his recent binge. Expectations for future production should be tempered in the event the wideout isn't able to maintain this rate of success in the red zone, as he is averaging just 3.0 receptions and 46.2 yards per game this season. However, until the scoring cools off, Kirk remains a solid fantasy option when the Cardinals resume play against the Dolphins following the team's upcoming bye week.
