Johnson caught all three of his targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers.

Johnson led the Jets in receiving yards in the absence of Garrett Wilson (knee), while no teammate contributed more than 31 receiving yards. Tyrod Taylor replaced the ineffective Justin Fields at halftime and connected with Johnson for gains of 20 and 35 yards in the second half. If Taylor gets the starting nod for Week 8 against the Bengals and Wilson remains sidelined, Johnson could offer some value based on the chemistry he showed with Taylor in the loss to Carolina.

Davis rushed twice for 10 yards and caught two of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers.

Davis continues to see modest usage as the top backup to Breece Hall in Braelon Allen's (knee) absence. Davis' role will likely remain limited in Week 8 against the Bengals, regardless of whether the Jets move forward with Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor under center.

Hill brought in one of two targets for one yard during the Dolphins' 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Hill and Tanner Conner (one catch for 28 yards on three targets) both saw increased involvement Sunday with Darren Waller (pectoral) making an early exit, but neither were able to translate that opportunity into notable production due to a miserable showing from Tua Tagovailoa and Miami's passing game. If Waller remains sidelined as the Dolphins look to bounce back on the road versus Atlanta in Week 8, Hill will gain limited fantasy appeal in deeper formats that require multiple starting tight ends.

Westbrook-Ikhine secured three of four targets for 16 yards during Miami's 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Westbrook-Ikhine saw season-high totals in terms of targets, catches and offensive snaps (77 percent), in part due to tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) exiting early versus Cleveland. With Tyreek Hill (IR, knee) done for the year, if Waller is unavailable on the road against Atlanta in Week 8, Westbrook-Ikhine will be positioned for increased involvement in the passing game behind Malik Washington and Jaylen Waddle.

Musgrave was not targeted in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.

Musgrave played over 20 snaps for the fourth time in five games, but he did not draw a pass in his direction and has been targeted only five times during that stretch. Musgrave conceivably remains a threat to opposing defenses due to his size and speed, but with Tucker Kraft healthy, he isn't getting many chances to display those traits.

Williams played four snaps in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.

The third-round rookie is still filling only a bit role for Green Bay, and he has gotten only 11 total snaps on offense since the team's Week 5 bye. He could see a few more opportunities if Dontayvion Wicks (calf) misses any action, but he also figures to drop below Christian Watson (knee) on the depth chart when the latter returns in the next week or two.

Wright did not log a carry or target during Miami's 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Wright was active versus Cleveland after having been a healthy scratch the prior two games, but he played just nine offensive snaps and was statistically invisible while Ollie Gordon (five carries for 22 yards) operated as the No. 2 back behind starter De'Von Achane (13 carries for 82 yards). Next on deck for the Dolphins is a Week 8 road matchup against the Falcons, wherein Wright will work to compete for more opportunities alongside Gordon.

Heath was not targeted in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.

Heath -- due in part to a calf injury sustained by fellow wideout Dontayvion Wicks -- finished third among Packers receivers in snaps in Week 7, but he finished without a target for the fourth time in six appearances this season. Heath could benefit if Wicks misses any further action, but another pass catcher -- Christian Watson (knee) -- is due back soon, so any sort of long-term boost looks unlikely.

Gordon carried the ball five times for 11 yards during Miami's 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Gordon continues to operate as the Dolphins' clear No. 2 back behind De'Von Achane, a role in which he's logged 28 carries for 70 rushing yards (2.5 YPC) and one touchdown across seven regular-season appearances this year. He's also secured four of six targets for seven yards during that span. The rookie sixth-round pick projects to continue operating ahead of Jaylen Wright, who was active Week 7 but didn't log a carry, versus the Falcons in Week 8.

Parsons recorded five tackles (four solo) and a career-high 3.0 sacks in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.

Parsons had registered 2.0 or 2.5 sacks on several occasions, but he had never before taken down the quarterback three times himself until his sixth game with the Packers. Thanks to the surge Parsons is up to 5.5 sacks, which ties him for sixth in the league with two games to go in Week 7.
