Shepherd played three snaps on offense in Sunday's victory over the Raiders but was not targeted.

Shepherd played a career-high 29 offensive snaps Week 6, but he was a non-factor Week 7, barely seeing the field despite the Packers holding a comfortable lead for most of the second half. He remains the Packers' return man despite losing a fumble on a punt return last week, but he finished a distant fifth among Packers receivers in snaps Sunday -- even with Davante Adams (toe) out -- so it's unlikely he'll do much on offense anytime soon.

Rogers is working out for the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Rogers' tryout with Houston comes in the wake of Will Fuller exiting Sunday's loss to the Colts with a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old wideout spent the last three seasons with the Steelers, and his experience, which includes returning punts, could make him a valuable depth option.

Lazard led Packers receivers in snaps in Sunday's victory over the Raiders, and caught three passes on four targets for 42 yards.

Lazard could not match his surprising output from Week 6, but he was rewarded for his strong showing, playing 51 of a possible 60 snaps -- eight more than any other Packers pass catcher. Fellow wideouts Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Geronimo Allison did not see a full workload Sunday after missing practice time last week, and Davante Adams (toe) will be back at some point, so it's not a guarantee Lazard sees the field as frequently moving forward. Chances are he sees plenty of action in Week 8 if Adams misses another game, however.

Moore caught one of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Ravens.

Moore logged a season-high 30 of a possible 70 offensive snaps (42 percent), but it didn't blossom into any notable production. The increase in snaps may be due to Will Dissly (Achilles) sitting out, as the injured tight end had lined up as a wideout on 26.1 percent of his snaps. Still, Moore is toiling as the No. 4 wide receiver behind Jaron Brown, and he figures to stay in that role Week 8 against the Falcons.

Cobb caught two of three targets for 29 yards in Sunday's win over the Eagles.

After missing last week's loss to the Jets with a sore back, Cobb returned to action but saw his smallest target volume of the year. The veteran receiver has yet to break 70 yards in a game for the Cowboys, and his role in the passing game behind Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup has provided Cobb with little fantasy upside so far.

Gallup caught three of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's win over the Eagles.

Amari Cooper was the preferred big-play threat for Dak Prescott in this one, and Gallup's longest catch went for only 14 yards. The second-year receiver has shown he can be explosive this season with two 100-yard performances in five games, and he'll be in a good spot for another one against the Giants in Week 9 following the Cowboys' bye.

Humphries hauled in all four of his targets for 40 yards in Week 7 against the Chargers.

Humphries' inconsistent role in the offense continued, as he played under 50 percent of the snaps for the third time this season. Rookie wideout A.J. Brown also emerged for a career-best six catches, helping lead to Humphries' down performance. While Ryan Tannehill energized the Titans' passing attack to a degree, Humphries is unlikely to gain a consistent role with the potential emergence of Brown as well the team's desire to keep two tight ends on the field.

Brown hauled in six of his eight targets for 64 yards in Week 7 against the Chargers.

Brown led the team with a career-high eight targets and also doubled his previous best effort with six receptions. Most of his opportunities came on two separate drives, the first coming just before halftime when he hauled in passes of 16, 15 and 11 yards. With the Titans looking to sustain a drive to close the game out in the fourth quarter, Tannehill once again turned to Brown as he logged catches of five, 11 and six yards. Unlike previous performances in which Brown was reliant upon big plays for production, he saw increased volume Sunday, giving hope that this was a true breakthrough performance. Brown will look to keep this expanded role in Week 8 against the Buccaneers.

Cooper (quadriceps/ankle) caught all five of his targets for 106 yards in Sunday's 37-10 win over the Eagles.

Cooper was held out of team activities until late in the week while nursing two separate lower-body injuries, but he was able to heal up in time for an important primetime matchup against a divisional foe. Dallas was in control of the contest from start to finish, so the 25-year-old had to make due with just five targets (tied for the lowest mark in a full game this season). Cooper maximized those targets, reaching the century mark for the third time this season. The star wideout's fantasy owners were not only rewarded with an unlikely start and strong stat line, but the Cowboys' upcoming bye week will give the receiver plenty of time to fully heal up before a soft matchup against the Giants on Monday Night Football in Week 9.

Davis hauled in six of his seven targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the Chargers.

Davis posted season-best marks in both targets and receptions in Ryan Tannehill's first start under center. His day was highlighted by two plays, the first of which was an eight-yard touchdown reception late in the first half. He also played a key role in the team's game-winning drive, hauling in a 38-yard pass. Given the immediate rapport that Davis showed with Tannehill, it's possible the promising wideout will be more consistent in his production as the season wears on. He'll have a strong chance to build on this breakout performance as he faces a weak Buccaneers pass defense in Week 8.
