There are fears that Beckham suffered a major knee injury Sunday against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Beckham will undergo an MRI on Monday, but early indications regarding his knee injury aren't looking promising. If the wideout is forced to miss extended time, Rashard Higgins and Donovan Peoples-Jones would be in line for added work alongside Jarvis Landry.

Higgins caught all five of his targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 loss to Cleveland. He also rushed once for seven yards.

Higgins was quiet for most of this one but made his mark late, catching a 16-yard touchdown to take a 27-24 lead in the fourth quarter. The rookie second-round pick out of Clemson has 24 catches for 375 yards and three touchdowns in his last five games, as he has quickly become an integral part of Cincinnati's high-octane passing game after taking a couple weeks to get acclimated to the NFL. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 8 against the Titans.

Moore secured four of five targets for 93 yards and two touchdowns in the Panthers' 27-24 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Despite checking in third in receptions on the team for the afternoon, Moore set the pace in receiving yards, largely due to a game-long 74-yard grab that went for an early second-quarter touchdown. He added a seven-yard scoring catch shortly before halftime, with the pair of trips to the end zone counting as his second and third of the campaign. Moore now has three consecutive 93-yard tallies, and he'll look to boost that up enough to eclipse the century mark for the second time this season when he sees the vulnerable Falcons secondary in a Thursday night Week 8 divisional battle.

Boyd caught 11 of 13 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Browns. He also threw a 16-yard pass.

Boyd just managed to break the plane for an 11-yard touchdown 15 seconds before halftime, and he's up to 48 catches through seven games this season. The standout slot receiver also put his versatility on display with a 16-yard pass to running back Giovani Bernard on a trick play. As the most consistent weapon for rookie quarterback Joe Burrow, who threw for over 400 yards in this one, Boyd should continue to play a major role in what's projected to be a high-scoring Week 8 affair against the Titans.

Adams recorded 13 catches on 16 targets for 196 yards and two touchdowns in Week 7 against the Texans.

Adams dominated the Texans from start to finish, beginning his performance with a three-yard touchdown in the first quarter. His second trip to the end zone came on a 45-yard reception late in the third quarter when he broke free behind the Texans' secondary. Aside from the scores, Adams recorded receptions of 36, 28, 16 and 15 yards. It was a dominant performance for Adams, and he's now topped 150 receiving yards in two of his four games on the season. He'll face another soft secondary in a Week 8 matchup against Minnesota.

Cooper caught all seven of his targets for 80 yards and carried once for an additional five yards during Sunday's 25-3 loss to Washington.

Cooper was a rare bright spot on the day as his team managed to generate just 114 passing yards. He made a few short catches while Andy Dalton (head) was under center and somewhat surprisingly managed a 32-yard connection with rookie Ben DiNucci, who entered the game as an injury replacement. Cooper has caught 14 of 17 targets for 159 yards over the last two games since Dak Prescott (ankle) went down, but his production seems unlikely to continue next Sunday night against the Eagles if Dalton is forced to miss the contest.

Beckham will undergo an MRI on his left knee Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

At a minimum, Beckham's status for the Browns' Week 8 contest against the Raiders will need to be monitored. It's quite possible that he'll need to miss some time, however, and if so, there will be added snaps and targets available for both Rashard Higgins and Donovan Peoples-Jones.

Perriman is being evaluated for a concussion after taking a high hit late in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Bills, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

Perriman caught two of three targets for 27 yards prior to sustaining the injury in the fourth quarter. With Jamison Crowder (groin) missing this game, the Jets' receiving corps could be significantly undermanned heading into a daunting Week 8 matchup with the Chiefs.

Callaway left Sunday's game against the Panthers with an apparent leg injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

It's not clear exactly what Callaway's dealing with, but he limped to the locker room late in the fourth quarter and probably won't return by the end of the game. The undrafted rookie out of Tennesee made the most of Michael Thomas (ankle/hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19) being ruled out, as he was leading the team with eight receptions for 75 yards at the time of his exit.

Pettis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

The 2018 second-round pick will be on the sideline for the third straight contest. Coach Kyle Shanahan said earlier in the week the team made and fielded calls about potentially trading Pettis, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, so it's not a major surprise to see him a healthy scratch. Richie James will serve as the depth wideout Sunday behind the usual contributors.
