Cooper (quadriceps/ankle) is active for Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Cooper played three offensive snaps before an early exit in last Sunday's defeat to the Jets due to what was termed a thigh bruise. His ensuing practice reps were restricted by ankle and quadriceps injuries, resulting in just one limited showing Friday. After that session, there was a belief that Cooper would suit up this weekend, which has come to fruition. Cooper and Michael Gallup will serve as the Cowboys' top two wide receivers ahead of Randall Cobb, who also is available after sitting out Week 6 with a back issue.

Doss caught three of five targets for 54 yards during Sunday's 42-24 loss to the Packers.

After seeing the field on the majority of offensive snaps in Week 5's matchup against the Bears, Doss was Oakland's leading wide receiver during Sunday's contest against Green Bay. All things considered, he did well -- contributing with a big 31-yard gain in the first quarter. He faded down the stretch, however, with just one target in the final 42 minutes of Sunday's game. Where he goes from here is unclear with Tyrell Williams (foot) out of commission and Zay Jones working his way into action, but it'd probably be wise to look before you leap with Doss.

Conley secured three catches for 83 yards on eight targets and caught a two-point conversion in Sunday's 27-17 win over Cincinnati.

Conley did most of his damage on a 47-yard catch that got the offense down to Cincinnati's 8-yard line on the first play of the fourth quarter, and he capped that drive by catching a two-point try to give his team a seven-point lead. While Conley has slowed down dramatically after totaling 170 receiving yards and a touchdown in the season's first two games, he's still capable of the occasional outburst thanks to his downfield ability.

Valdes-Scantling caught two of three targets for 133 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 42-24 win over Oakland.

Valdes-Scantling managed to draw just three targets even with Davante Adams (toe) out and Geronimo Allison (chest) injured. It's hard to imagine how he could have done much more with his opportunities, however. His first haul was a 59-yard shot downfield to open the second half and set up an Aaron Rodgers touchdown run. He did it all himself midway through the fourth quarter, taking a quick out-cut the distance for a 74-yard score. The statuesque sophomore came into Sunday with an impressive 14.9 yards per reception, and that's now up to 19.8 yards per catch. Next up is a Chiefs defense that has been solid keeping opponents in front of them, ranking 11th-best in the league with 10.8 yards per catch allowed.

Chark caught three of four targets for 53 yards and added a 20-yard rush in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Bengals.

Chark has established a decent floor for himself, with no fewer than 43 receiving yards in every game this season. He also has five touchdowns, though the second-year wideout has now gone two straight games without one for the first time all season. Chark will look to end that short drought when his Jaguars host the Jets in Week 8.

Erickson caught eight of 14 targets for 137 yards and lost two yards on two carries in Sunday's 27-17 loss to Jacksonville.

Erickson had six catches for 110 yards before any other Bengal caught a single pass, and his 14 targets ultimately tied with Tyler Boyd for the team lead. His two rushing attempts yielded wildly different results, as one resulted in a nine-yard gain and the other lost 11. Considering Erickson hadn't previously topped 50 receiving yards in a game this season, his involvement in the offense is likely to drop precipitously against the Rams in Week 8.

Parker secured five of 10 targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-21 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Parker found the end zone for the third straight game when he brought in Ryan Fitzpatrick's only touchdown pass of the afternoon, a 12-yard dart with 5:51 remaining in the second quarter. Parker's target total was both a team- and season-high figure, and given Miami's general dearth of offensive weapons, he remains a serviceable fantasy option in deeper formats as long as Fitzpatrick is under center. Parker will look to put together another strong performance at the expense of the Steelers in a Week 8 Monday night matchup.

Boyd caught five of 14 targets for 55 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 27-17 loss to Jacksonville.

Boyd continues to rank among the league's most targeted wide receivers, but he's not making the most of that volume. He's scored only one touchdown this season after converting seven in 2018, and Boyd has turned his 73 targets into only 45 catches for 471 yards. With A.J. Green progressing in his return from an ankle injury, Boyd's volume may not last much longer, though Green may not be ready to make his season debut against the Rams in Week 8.

McLaurin caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 9-0 loss to the 49ers.

With a steady rain coming down and interim Washington coach Bill Callahan electing to keep the ball on the ground as much as possible, McLaurin simply didn't get an opportunity to make an impact -- Case Keenum attempted only 12 passes all afternoon. It's the first time all season the rookie receiver has failed to record at least 50 yards receiving, and he'll look to rebound in Week 8 on the road against the Vikings.

Thielen will undergo an MRI on his right hamstring but is hopeful that he'll play Thursday versus the Redskins, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Thielen injured the hamstring on his circus catch in the back of the end zone in the first quarter, ending his day with just the 25-yard touchdown. He'll have a short turnaround for the Vikings' next game, but even if Thielen suits up, rookie Bisi Johnson (four catches for 40 yards and one TD on eight targets Sunday) could be utilized more in the passing attack.
