Reynolds was unable to reel in his lone target during Sunday's 37-10 win over the Falcons.

Though he saw the field for 19 offensive snaps, Reynolds wasn't targeted until the middle of the fourth quarter. The opportunity was a solid one, a short strike deep inside Atlanta territory, the first time this season Reynolds was targeted inside the 10-yard line. The Texas A&M product has not found consistent exposure this season in a Rams offense with plenty of other pass-catching options. He's a WR4 on a team that almost exclusively lines up with three receivers and doesn't sub out particularly often. He shouldn't be on your radar despite a Sunday matchup against a winless Bengals squad.

Gage caught one of two targets for a 13-yard gain during Sunday's 37-10 loss to the Rams.

After fading following the opener, Gage has now logged a catch in three consecutive games with multiple targets in two of those contests. That's probably not enough to get you excited about Gage's prospects. Even with a so-so Seattle pass defense on deck for Sunday, Matt Ryan's (ankle) uncertain availability should further steer you away from Gage.

General manager John Elway said Wednesday that Patrick (hand) will be one of the Broncos' two players designated to return from injured reserve, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

Patrick won't be officially designated to return until he resumes practicing, but that should happen in the near future. The receiver has been sidelined since fracturing his left hand in Week 1, temporarily ending his bid to carve out a consistent role in the Denver passing attack. However, with Patrick now on the mend and the Broncos trading away starting wideout Emmanuel Sanders on Tuesday, the 25-year-old suddenly has an opportunity to find work in three-receiver sets once he's reinstated from IR. Sanders' departure locks in Courtland Sutton as Denver's clear No. 1 receiver, leaving DaeSean Hamilton, a healthy Patrick and Juwann Winfree to vie for the other two regular jobs at the position. Patrick is first eligible to return from IR after the Broncos' Week 10 bye.

Agholor caught two of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 37-10 loss to the Cowboys.

Agholor busted open on a deep pass in the fourth quarter, and Carson Wentz lofted up a perfect toss. However, Agholor didn't extend his arms and failed to haul in the pass, which could have gone for a touchdown. It was a tough look for Agholor, especially since his chances to go deep will diminish once DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is back in the fold. He has a tough matchup against the Bills in Week 8.

Thielen (hamstring) isn't participating Tuesday in the Vikings' walkthrough practice, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Thielen's absence from practice isn't a major surprise after he injured his right hamstring two days ago, but he's still looking iffy for the Vikings' Thursday night matchup with the Redskins. On a positive note, Thielen's potential absence in Week 8 doesn't look like the inevitability it seemed to be when he first sustained the injury. According to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, coach Mike Zimmer said earlier Tuesday that Thielen is "improving fast" and "has a chance" to suit up come Thursday.

Williams caught four of six targets for 47 scoreless yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Titans.

The breakout year hasn't come to fruition with Williams, as the third-year wideout has failed to top six receptions or 83 yards in a game, and he hasn't scored a touchdown this season. The big-bodied wideout has been targeted in the red zone in five straight contests, including three times within the five-yard line, so it feels like he's just knocking on the door. However, his 52.3 percent catch rate combined with the return of Hunter Henry, who has 197 yards over the last two games, could hinder Williams from reaching his potential.

Berrios turned his lone target into a one-yard reception in Monday's 33-0 loss to the Patriots. He also returned three punts for 14 yards and muffed one for a fumble.

Berrios' lone touch on offense came on a screen pass that was immediately blown up by a swarming Patriots defense. The silver lining about his fumble is that it came in garbage time and thus wasn't a costly one.

Kupp caught six of eight targets for 50 yards during Sunday's 37-10 win over Atlanta.

This was the second consecutive poor showing from Kupp. He topped 100 yards in each of the previous four games while scoring four touchdowns during the stretch, so the third-year receiver shouldn't be written off after a couple of disappointing performances. Although there are still definite concerns with the Rams offense -- even with this rebound, 37-point showing in mind -- Kupp projects as a bounce-back candidate heading into Week 8.

Cooks caught four of seven targets for 59 yards during Sunday's 37-10 win over Atlanta.

Unless there's a turnaround soon, this could quickly become a lost season for Cooks. He's only topped 100 yards once all year and has just a single touchdown. Additionally, the second-year Ram is trending in the wrong direction with just eight receptions for 103 yards over the past three weeks. It's difficult to view him as a reliable starting option in the majority of settings.

Montgomery rushed twice for nine yards and failed to haul in his lone target in Monday's 33-0 loss to New England.

Montgomery's touches came in garbage time, although you could pretty much consider the whole game to have been garbage time given the Jets' awful performance from the get-go. There remains nothing to see here as long as Le'Veon Bell's healthy.
