Smith contributed a pair of special teams tackles and didn't touch the ball on offense in Sunday's 18-10 loss to Buffalo.

Smith was replaced by Ty Johnson as the kick returner after muffing a catch last week, and he still doesn't have a role on offense for the Jets.

Evans secured both of his targets for 37 yards in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

By the end of the practice week, Evans had shed the injury designation he'd been carrying due to an ankle issue, but he isn't 100 percent by all accounts and continued to struggle getting open in Sunday's victory. Evans' target count lagged significantly behind that of fellow wideouts Chris Godwin and Scotty Miller, who logged nine looks apiece. The multi-time Pro Bowler has a combined 3-47 line over the past two games on four total targets, and he's also interspersed a pair of two-yard tallies among a couple of 100-yard efforts thus far this season. The impending arrival of Antonio Brown (suspension), who's slated to make his debut Week 9, now looms large over the fantasy fortunes of other members of the Buccaneers pass-catching corps. With Evans already trending in the wrong direction, he'll be a player to particularly monitor in a Week 8 Monday night battle against the Giants.

Davis recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the Steelers.

Davis was active for his first game since Week 3 against Minnesota after landing on the COVID-19 list. He continued to see a consistent number of targets and now has a total of 29 across four contests. Though he didn't work very efficiently -- he averaged only 3.5 yards per target -- Davis made up for it with a four-yard touchdown catch midway through the second quarter. In Week 8, Davis and the Titans will draw a matchup against the Bengals.

Miller brought in six of nine targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

The second-year speedster's wheels were on display Sunday on a 33-yard scoring grab down the left sideline just before halftime, and he finished with a team-leading receiving yardage tally overall. Miller also logged his highest target count of the season, and he's posted at least 83 receiving yards in three of his past four games. However, the impending arrival of Antonio Brown (suspension) has the potential to eventually make Miller a much more speculative week-to-week fantasy play, considering the former is adept at many of the downfield routes the Bowling Green product currently handles in coach Bruce Arians' offense.

Agholor hauled in five of nine targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 45-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Agholor provided an immediate spark for the Raiders with a 20-yard scoring grab early in the first quarter, and he finished with a team-high receiving yardage total. The veteran also shared the team lead in targets with Darren Waller, as the chemistry between Agholor and Derek Carr continued to blossom in impressive fashion. The performance marked the 27-year-old's first 100-yard effort of the season, but he's now gotten into the end zone in three straight games and four of the six contests he's suited up for overall. While the eventual return of rookie Bryan Edwards (ankle/foot) could certainly impact Agholor's involvement to a degree, the latter has seemingly made enough of a case for himself to still see a solid level of involvement in that scenario.

Berrios caught four of seven targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Bills.

Berrios tied with Denzel Mims for the team lead in catches and targets while finishing seven receiving yards behind Mims' team-high total. The highlight of Berrios' night was a 22-yard catch to convert a 3rd-and-20 late in the first quarter, but that ended up being New York's longest play of the day as quarterback Sam Darnold threw for just 120 yards. Berrios has played well in the slot when Jamison Crowder (groin) has missed time this season, and he'll continue to fill in if Crowder doesn't heal up in time to face the Chiefs in Week 8.

Williams secured one of three targets for four yards during Sunday's 39-29 win over the Jaguars.

Despite quarterback Justin Herbert throwing for 347 yards and three touchdowns, Williams was barely involved on offense. Keenan Allen accounted for 13 looks in his return to action, solidifying his status as Herbert's favorite target, but it's nonetheless disappointing to see Williams shut down after he went for 109 yards and two scores Week 5. The 2017 first-rounder will look to bounce back on the road against Denver in Week 8, lest he resurrect his former label as a boom-or-bust fantasy option.

Chark caught one of seven targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 39-29 loss to the Chargers.

Chark led Jacksonville in targets again, but he was again inefficient despite seeing notable volume and a favorable gamescript. The third-year wideout and quarterback Gardner Minshew rarely seemed to be on the same page Sunday, as a number of Chark's targets came in the form of low or off-target throws. The lack of a connection was perhaps most evident on Jacksonville's final drive of the game as Minshew threw a deep ball out of bounds to Chark, who nearly reeled it in on third and eight. Then, on fourth and eight to essentially seal the game, Minshew missed a wide open Chark for what would have been a first down. The 2018 second-round pick was limited in practice all week due to an ankle issue, so it's possible that his efficiency issues can be blamed in part on injuries. Whatever the case, Chark will look to get right during Jacksonville's Week 8 bye.

Cobb recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 95 yards Sunday in the Texans' 35-20 loss to the Packers.

Cobb surprisingly led the Texans wide receiver corps in targets, receptions and yards, out-pacing both Will Fuller and Brandin Cooks in the process. The effort marked his first time reaching double-digit targets in any game this season and the second time he topped 60 yards. Cobb's performance was highlighted by a 28-yard reception late in the second quarter that set up a 41-yard field goal attempt for the team. Despite working primarily out of the slot, Cobb now has five receptions of 20 yards or more this season and has been a beneficiary of Deshaun Watson's explosiveness. Cobb and the Texans will head into Week 8 with a bye and draw a comfortable matchup against the Jaguars in Week 9.

Godwin hauled in all nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Godwin's catch total led the Buccaneers on the afternoon and both his reception and receiving yardage tallies served as his highest of the campaign as well. The fourth-year wideout also recorded his second touchdown of the season on a four-yard grab with 7:22 remaining in the contest, making it his best all-around fantasy outing of 2020. Godwin's target share is expected to take a hit to a degree whenever Antonio Brown (suspension) gets fully integrated into the offense beginning Week 9, but Godwin should still be a prime target for Tom Brady against the Giants in a Week 8 Monday night battle.
