Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that the early returns on Shaheed's knee injury are positive, Brady Henderson reports.

Shaheed logged 22 snaps and caught two of his three targets for one yard before exiting Sunday's game against Kansas City. While Macdonald's initial assessment of the wideout's knee issue is encouraging, Shaheed's status will nonetheless be worth monitoring as next Monday's game against the Bears approaches.

Worthy caught three of six targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Seahawks.

Seattle successfully limited Worthy's output in the absence of Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee), with the versatile Nick Emmanwori running stride for stride with the speedy Worthy on a couple of downfield misconnections. Worthy finished second behind Travis Kelce (eight) in targets but sixth on the Chiefs in receiving yards Sunday. Heading into a Week 8 road game against the Broncos, Worthy has drawn at least six targets in five of six games this season. He has reached 70 yards twice and failed to eclipse 25 yards in any of the other four games.

Smith-Njigba caught nine of 12 targets for 150 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Chiefs.

After leading the league in catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns through Week 6, Smith-Njigba picked up the pace with a season-high 163 scrimmage yards Sunday night. JSN scored his eighth touchdown of the season on a 28-yard catch in the second quarter, with four apiece having been thrown by Sam Darnold and Drew Lock. Smith-Njigba became the sixth player in NFL history to reach 100 receiving yards in six of his team's first seven regular-season games. He led the league in receiving yards last regular season and is showing no signs of slowing down heading into a Week 8 home game against the Bears on MNF.

Tucker secured five of 12 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 35-21 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Tucker led the Raiders in receiving yards and targets on the afternoon with a big lift from a game-long 41-yard catch and a 37-yard fourth-quarter touchdown reception. The speedy wideout has a combined 10-200-3 line over his last two games alone as he continues to take his chemistry with Kirk Cousins to new levels, and Tucker is averaging a stellar 16.3 yards per reception heading into a favorable Week 8 road matchup against the Jets next Sunday.

Jennings caught two of three targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts.

The veteran wideout entered Week 7 with just two catches for nine yards across four games, so this counts as a breakout game for Jennings. He's running plenty of routes alongside Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison at receiver, but Jennings is deep down the list for targets in Minnesota. He's not a recommended fantasy play for next Sunday against the Lions' leaky secondary.

Shaheed (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Shaheed didn't return after halftime due to a knee injury. The wide receiver and standout special teams return man will have an extra day to recover before the Seahawks face the Bears on MNF in Week 8.

Robinson caught four of seven targets for seven yards during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Browns.

Robinson garnered exactly seven targets for the third straight week, but his seven receiving yards were a new season low for the wideout. Robinson is pretty much limited to short and intermediate routes, and as a result, he has a rather low floor from a fantasy perspective. On the year, the wide receiver has reeled in 29 of 44 targets for 205 yards and two touchdowns over seven contests so far.

Boston caught just three of eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans.

The wide receiver was the favorite for the Offensive Rookie of the Year after the first five weeks of the season, but he's now posted back-to-back subpar games against the Ravens and Titans. During those two contests, Boston has four catches for 42 yards on 13 targets. He's been extremely inefficient with his looks and isn't getting loose for big plays over the top of the defense. He'll try to get back on track next Sunday in Pittsburgh.

Coker caught one of four targets for nine yards during Sunday's 43-13 loss to the Buccaneers.

Coker and the rest of the Panthers' offense put together a putrid effort in Week 7. The wide receiver had recorded at least six catches and 66 receiving yards in each of his previous three healthy contests this season, and he figures to get back on track Thursday night against the Packers.

Shaheed (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Curtis Crabtree of FOX 13 Seattle reports.

Shaheed didn't come out for the second half, as Tory Horton returned the second-half kickoff in Shaheed's stead. Prior to getting hurt, Shaheed caught two of three targets for one yard while adding a 32-yard punt return.
