Watkins brought in three of six targets for 56 yards in the 49ers' 29-20 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

With the 49ers' receiving corps down all of Mike Evans (Achilles), Deebo Samuel (hamstring), De'Zhaun Stribling (IR, ankle) and Demarcus Robinson (IR, ankle), Watkins saw an expanded role and made good use of the opportunity. All three of Watkins' catches went for first downs, and he finished third in receiving yards and targets while also tying for that slotting in receptions. The 2025 fourth-round pick's performance was encouraging, but he's likely to slide back down the depth chart since the wide-receiver room could be much healthier by the time San Francisco returns to action against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 8 following the Week 8 bye.

Godwin secured four of five targets for 27 yards in the Buccaneers' 43-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Godwin served as the Buccaneers' de facto No. 1 receiver with Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) sidelined, but as it turned out, the Buccaneers' air attack had minimal involvement in the lopsided win. With the returning Baker Mayfield attempting just 11 passes and mustering 64 passing yards, Godwin's numbers were actually perfectly acceptable within that context. Godwin has back-to-back four-catch efforts and at least that number in three of the past four games overall; however, with an average of just 9.0 yards per reception and zero touchdowns through seven games, the veteran receiver carries very modest fantasy value even withe Egbuka sidelined.

Fields caught four of five targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 27-21 overtime win over Houston.

In J.J. McCarthy's first start of the season, Fields had his best performance as a pro, capping his day with a 47-yard catch and run in the first quarter. The rookie wideout set a new career high in both receiving yards and catches after hauling in exactly two passes in each of his first six games for the Giants. Fields will head into the Giants' bye with a 16-248-1 line on 30 targets before facing the Eagles in Week 9.

Nabers caught seven of nine targets for 111 yards in Sunday's 27-21 overtime win over the Texans.

The switch from Jameis Winston to J.J. McCarthy at quarterback for the Giants hasn't slowed Nabers down at all, and the team's No. 1 wideout extended his streak of games with over 100 receiving yards to four. During that surge, Nabers has delivered a 36-509-2 line on 51 targets, as he puts his injury-marred sophomore NFL campaign firmly behind him. He'll try to not to lose his momentum during the bye before facing the Eagles in Week 9.

Waddle didn't return to Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cardinals due to a chest injury, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.

Waddle went to the locker room in the fourth quarter, and the Broncos confirmed shortly before the end of the game that he was dealing with a chest injury. Sunday's injury could be an aggravation of the chest injury that bothered Waddle in practice leading up to the game. Waddle's likely to pop up on the injury report as the Broncos prepare for a Week 8 rematch with the Chiefs, who defeated Denver in Week 1. He finished with four catches for 48 yards on seven targets against the Cardinals.

Tate caught five of seven targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Browns.

The rookie wideout was once again Cam Ward's top downfield option, leading the Titans in catches and receiving yards and tying Elic Ayomanor for the lead in targets. Tate has made five or more receptions in four of the last five games, amassing a 27-348-1 line on 40 targets during that span. He'll look to keep rolling in a Week 8 tilt against the Bengals.

Waddle (undisclosed) headed to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Waddle had his practice reps limited leading up to the game due to a chest injury. He was grabbing at his chest/shoulder area prior to exiting, per Gabriel, suggesting Waddle may have aggravated the injury as he went to the ground to avoid a fumble on a botched reverse. Prior to getting hurt, Waddle caught four of seven targets for 48 yards.

Concepcion caught eight of 10 targets for 129 yards and added 23 yards on three carries in Sunday's 27-24 win over Tennessee.

The rookie wideout put together a breakout performance, with his 10 targets, eight catches and 129 receiving yards all being season highs. If fact, the yardage total was more than Concepcion had produced in any two of his first six NFL games combined. Concepcion's chemistry with Deshaun Watson is growing, and he'll be hunting for his first career touchdown in Week 8 against the Steelers.

McMillan secured four of six targets for 40 yards in the Panthers' 43-13 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

As the final score implies, it was a total washout for the Panthers in the divisional clash, making McMillan's modest numbers unsurprising. The 2025 first-round pick did tie for the team lead in receptions and set the pace in targets, but his receiving yardage total was his second lowest of the campaign. McMillan still sports an impressive 36-511-2 line on 54 targets heading into a Week 8 road matchup against the Packers on Thursday night.

Addison caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts. He added three yards on his lone carry.

No Viking caught more than four passes on the afternoon, and Justin Jefferson was the only member of the team to see more than five targets, so Addison's poor numbers were more a result of his offense's struggles overall than his own performance. The fourth-year wideout has still has only one big game in his five appearances so far, with 90 of his 183 receiving yards and his only TD coming Week 3 against Tampa Bay. Addison will try to break out in Week 8 against a struggling Lions secondary.
