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.

Collins caught two of five targets for six yards in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.

Collins was surprisingly quiet as C.J. Stroud spread the ball out to nine different targets, including six wide receivers. Collins remains atop the wide receiver depth chart and hadn't dipped below 55 receiving yards in a regular-season appearance since Week 7 of last season. The star wideout's recent track record suggests Collins will likely bounce back in Week 9 against the Chargers following Houston's Week 8 bye.

Noel (toe) was seen in a walking boot after Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Noel suffered a toe injury in the fourth quarter of Week 7 action and didn't return, finishing with two catches (on two targets) for minus-3 yards. He wasn't able to parlay his 107-yard outing from Week 6 against the Jaguars in London into any success this Sunday, and he now be in danger of missing time.

Douglas (ankle) caught two of three targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Jets.

Douglas made an immediate impact in his first action since Week 2. The rookie third-round pick capped the game's first drive with a seven-yard touchdown catch for his first NFL TD, then stayed in along the sideline to score again on a 63-yard catch-and-run in the fourth quarter. Miami utilizes a run-heavy approach when possible, but the Dolphins may be forced to throw more if they fall behind as expected in Week 8 against the Patriots, which could lead to more opportunities for Douglas.

Wilson caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Wilson wasn't targeted in the first half as the Jets took a 21-7 deficit into the locker room. He was slightly more involved in the second half, but Wilson was overshadowed for a second consecutive game by rookie first-round pick Omar Cooper, who has exceeded 100 receiving yards with a touchdown in both games since recovering from an ankle injury. Wilson will try to bounce back from this season-worst performance in catches, receiving yards and targets when the Jets host the Raiders in Week 8.

Cooper caught all five of his targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Cooper topped 100 receiving yards with a TD for the second time in as many games since returning from an ankle injury sustained in his regular-season debut. The rookie 30th overall pick had a 52-yard catch in the first quarter and a 60-yard catch in the third, then added a three-yard touchdown reception three plays after the second long catch. Cooper has been a big-play machine when healthy, and he'll look to build on his strong start in Week 8 against the Raiders.

Noel departed Sunday's game versus the Giants in the fourth quarter due to a toe injury.

On the heels of a 107-yard effort as a receiver in Week 6 against the Jaguars in London, Noel mustered just minus-3 yards on two catches before exiting Week 7 action early.

Melton (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Melton logged just one limited session during Week 7 prep. The wide receiver's Friday upgrade to limited after consecutive DNPs appears to have been enough to green-light the No. 4 option for Sunday's divisional bout with the Lions.

London (head) was cleared to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

London was being evaluated for a concussion in the blue medical tent. However, it was a short time on the sidelines for the star wide receiver, who was quickly cleared to return in the third quarter.
