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.

London secured seven of 10 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 29-20 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

London contributed team-high totals in receptions, receiving yardage and targets on the afternoon, and he added his first touchdown of the season on a 21-yard grab on the first play of the fourth quarter. While the 9.4 yards per reception he averaged Sunday represented a season low, London is still averaging a career-best 16.2 yards per reception and has three straight double-digit target tallies heading into a Week 8 road divisional clash against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

Jefferson caught four of seven targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts.

The targets and receiving yards actually led the Vikings in a low-scoring defensive battle, but it was T.J. Hockenson on the other end of Kyler Murray's only TD pass. Jefferson is still looking for his first 100-yard performance of the season, and he's been held under 60 yards in three of his five games. The star wideout could be poised to finally break out in Week 8 against the Lions' struggling secondary.

Flowers brought in eight of 11 targets for 137 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 35-13 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

The standout receiver had a big hand in staking the Ravens to a 13-0 halftime lead, and although Baltimore couldn't muster a single point in the second half, Flowers still finished with team-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals. Flowers also had a game-long 48-yard catch, which qualified as his third touchdown of the season as well. Flowers has shown excellent chemistry with both Lamar Jackson (ankle) and Tyler Huntley, and reports indicate the fleet-footed receiver is likely to have the former under center for a Week 8 road showdown against the Bills.

Downs caught two of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings.

Daniel Jones couldn't get anything going at all through the air against the Minnesota defense, and Downs' four targets actually led Indianapolis, although he didn't accomplish much with that modest volume. The two grabs and four targets tied his season lows, and Downs has been held under 20 receiving yards in two of the last four games, and under 50 in all four. Unless Jones can shake himself out of his stupor, Downs' ceiling will remain very limited in a Week 8 tilt against the Jaguars.

Higgins secured six of seven targets for 148 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 35-13 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

The Bengals' air attack as a whole got off to a very sluggish start, leading to a scoreless first half. However, Cincinnati exploded for 35 points after intermission, and Higgins played a big role by posting team-high reception and receiving yardage totals while also tying for the team lead in targets. The veteran wideout also recorded his second touchdown catch of the campaign on a 13-yard grab with just under five minutes remaining in the third quarter that gave Cincinnati a 14-13 lead. Higgins is averaging an outstanding 17.3 yards per reception on a 33-571-2 line heading into a Week 8 home matchup against the Titans next Sunday.

Harrison caught one of four targets for a six-yard touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.

In his second game since being acquired from Arizona via trade, Harrison scored his first touchdown with the Texans. His six-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter was Harrison's lone catch in a game during which six different wide receivers recorded at least one reception for the Texans. Harrison will have an opportunity to increase his knowledge of the playbook during a Week 8 bye and potentially earn more playing time in Houston's crowded wide receiver room.
