Coutee caught three of five targets for 25 yards and rushed for a four-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 loss to Indianapolis in Week 7.

With Kenny Stills returning from a two-week absence due to a hamstring injury, Coutee was headed back to fourth on the depth chart, but he benefited from Will Fuller's hamstring injury on the first series of the game. Coutee primarily plays the slot, so he's not a direct 1-for-1 replacement for Fuller. That role goes to Kenny Stills whenever Fuller is injured. The touchdown was Coutee's first of the season.

Robinson reeled in three of his five targets for 31 yards Thursday against the Broncos.

Robinson's snap count remained relatively steady Thursday with Sammy Watkins (hamstring) still sidelined, but he did see a slight dip with Tyreek Hill returning to a full workload. That snap percentage could shrink again next week if Watkins is cleared to rejoin the action.

Metcalf caught four of nine targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Ravens. He also lost a fumble.

Metcalf's afternoon was highlighted by an impressive 37-yard reception in the first half, but most will only remember his hiccup. With the Seahawks down two possessions, Metcalf caught a ball at the line of scrimmage but fumbled it without any contact. Marlon Humphrey returned the loose ball 18 yards for a touchdown to put the Ravens up 30-13 with 3:37 remaining in the fourth quarter. It was still a promising day for the rookie, though, as Metcalf led the team in targets, including two in the red zone. He'll look to bounce back during a favorable matchup against the Falcons in Week 8.

Lockett caught five of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Ravens.

On a broken play in the second quarter, Lockett appeared to wear out Marlon Humphrey before making a diving grab for the Seahawks' first and only touchdown of the game. With Russell Wilson's previous red-zone favorite Will Dissly (Achilles) out for the season, it's a good sign that Lockett is stepping up deep in enemy territory. Lockett will look to carry the momentum into Week 8's game against the Falcons, although Lockett hasn't scored in three road games this year despite finding paydirt in all four home contests.

Allen caught four of his 11 targets for 61 yards in Week 7 against Tennessee.

The Chargers clearly wanted to emphasize Allen in their gameplan, as he was targeted four times in their first two drives. The end result was 11 targets, Allen's highest total since Week 3. However, he wasn't particularly efficient and now has five or fewer catches in his last four games. Allen will look get back on track and turn his looks into more production in Week 8 against the Bears.

Wims hauled in a six-yard touchdown in Chicago's 36-25 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Wims wasn't targeted until the last possession of the game when the contest was completely out of hand. Fortunately, he turned his only opportunity into a touchdown. With just six receptions on the season, he would need injuries to the Bears' wide receiver group in order to see more consistent involvement in the offense.

Thomas caught nine of 11 targets for 131 yards during Sunday's 36-25 win over the Bears.

Despite a tough road matchup against a strong Chicago defense, Thomas caught 82 percent of his targets while averaging a healthy 14.6 yards per catch. His growing rapport with Teddy Bridgewater was perhaps best displayed on a beautiful 34-yard connection that could have gone for a longer touchdown if he wasn't dubiously ruled down by contact. Perhaps the only complaint from his fantasy owners would be the lack of a trip to the end zone for a second consecutive week, but he could easily put that to rest in next Sunday's inviting matchup against the Cardinals.

Robinson caught 10 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 36-25 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Robinson was the only Bears player to be effective throughout the entire contest. During the first half, the team struggled to move the football with the exception of Robinson, who was able to consistently beat tight coverage. He then padded his yardage totals while scoring a touchdown late in the contest when the game was out of hand. He's posted at least 77 yards in each of his last three games while scoring three times during that span, and he's settled in as a rock-solid weekly fantasy starter.

Boykin caught both his targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 30-16 win over the Seahawks.

Boykin turned in his team's longest play of the day, hauling in a 50-yard pass from Lamar Jackson to set up a field goal on the opening drive. He received just one target after that point but had already done enough to lead the team in receiving yardage on a day when they completed just nine passes. Boykin's role in the offense doesn't seem to change much whether Marquise Brown is in the lineup, so he should remain a peripheral option next Sunday night against the Patriots.

Cobb (back) is listed as active Sunday against the Eagles, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Cobb logged his first absence as a member of the Cowboys in Week 6, the result of a back injury suffered in the preceding Thursday's practice. He took a step in the right direction by returning to drills in a limited capacity Friday, which was enough to get clearance to play. Cobb will join Amari Cooper (quadriceps/ankle) and Michael Gallup on the field whenever the offense goes with three-wide sets.
