  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Falcons' Calvin Ridley: Quiet afternoon against Los Angeles

    Ridley corralled four of six targets for 30 receiving yards during Sunday's 37-10 loss to the Rams.

    The second-year wideout has been a prototypical boom-bust fantasy commodity, with four catches and a touchdown in four of seven outings thus far in 2019, but just eight receptions for 68 yards with zero touchdowns in his other three appearances combined. Upcoming next, Ridley and the Falcons' receiving corps will be tasked with dissecting a Seahawks defense that came into Week 7 with just one multi-passing touchdown outing allowed over its preceding four games.

  • Zach Pascal WR | NYG

    Colts' Zach Pascal: Career game in Week 7 win

    Pascal caught six of seven targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Texans.

    Pascal scored his second touchdown of the season from 11 yards out in the first quarter, then added a three-yard score in the third to surpass his total from last season. The 24-year-old wide receiver has shown flashes of ability, but he's been unable to carve out a consistent week-to-week role in a run-heavy offense that also has T.Y. Hilton as the clear alpha dog in the receiving corps.

  • Marvin Jones WR | DET

    Lions' Marvin Jones: Catches four TD passes

    Jones caught 10 of 13 targets for 93 yards and four touchdowns during Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Vikings.

    Jones led the team in targets and receptions, but his prowess in the red zone was the story of the day. He caught touchdown passes of 16 and three yards in the first quarter before adding a 10-yard score in the third quarter and a two-yard strike in the fourth. This was a terrific bounce-back effort after Jones managed just 17 yards in his previous outing, and even more so considering he had just one touchdown this season coming in. He should be productive again in next Sunday's matchup with the Giants.

  • Cole Beasley WR | NYG

    Bills' Cole Beasley: Notches late touchdown in win

    Beasley secured three of six targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 31-21 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Beasley was headed for a second consecutive fantasy dud before coming down with a three-yard touchdown grab just after the midway point of the fourth quarter to help extend the Bills' lead to 24-14 at the time. The veteran possession receiver has an underwhelming 6-37-1 line over the last two games, but given his sure hands and precise routes, he should continue enjoying a pivotal role in Buffalo's air attack. Beasley will look to boost his numbers across the board in a Week 8 interconference battle against the Eagles.

  • 49ers' Kendrick Bourne: Leading receiver in ugly win

    Bourne caught three of four targets for a team-high 69 yards in Sunday's 9-0 win over Washington.

    Neither passing game could get much going on a rainy afternoon and muddy field, and Bourne's 69 yards led both teams, while the catches, targets and yards were all season highs for the third-year receiver. His extra workload came with Deebo Samuel (groin) sidelined, and Bourne will likely need further absences ahead of him on the Niners depth chart to retain much fantasy significance.

  • Robert Woods WR | PIT

    Rams' Robert Woods: Gets right against Falcons

    Woods caught five of seven targets for 80 receiving yards and added a six-yard rush during Sunday's 37-10 win against the Falcons.

    Last week against San Francisco's No. 1 pass defense, Woods was held without a catch for the first time since the start of the 2018 season. In Week 7, however, he faced a Falcons defense that entered the weekend conceding greater than 270 yards per game through the air, and he cashed in with his second-highest receiving output of the year. Woods has a strong chance to continue providing value in Week 8, taking on a Bengals defense that gave up 27 points and more than 470 yards of total offense to Jacksonville on Sunday.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | WAS

    Vikings' Stefon Diggs: Explodes for 142 yards

    Diggs caught seven of eight targets for 142 yards during Sunday's 42-30 win over the Lions.

    Diggs led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards on the day, with a large chunk of his production coming on a 66-yard grab that set up a touchdown in the fourth quarter. He stepped up as a go-to option after Adam Thielen exited the contest early with a hamstring injury and exceeded 100 receiving yards for the third time in four games. Diggs makes for a fine fantasy option heading into Thursday's home matchup against the Redskins, and his stock could rise further if Thielen is forced to miss the contest.

  • Texans' DeAndre Hopkins: Best game since opener

    Hopkins caught nine of 12 targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Colts.

    Hopkins looked like he had a second-quarter touchdown, but the play was called back because Deshaun Watson was in the grasp of a defender before he threw the ball. He indisputably scored from four yards out in the fourth quarter for his first touchdown since Week 1, and this was also the first time Hopkins topped the 100-yard mark since then. The buy-low window on the elite wide receiver may have closed with this effort, and he'll look to build on this performance against the Raiders in Week 8.

  • Marquise Brown WR | PHI

    Ravens' Marquise Brown: Won't play Sunday

    Brown (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    With Brown inactive after missing practice all week, Willie Snead, Miles Boykin, Seth Roberts and Chris Moore are slated to head the Ravens' Week 7 wideout corps.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: Not returning Sunday

    Thielen has been ruled out of Sunday's contest in Detroit due to a hamstring injury, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Thielen's only contribution occurred on his 25-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Aside from Stefon Diggs, the Vikings will rely on rookie Bisi Johnson and Laquon Treadwell to man wide receiver.
