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.

Dulcich caught all five of his targets for 86 yards in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Jets.

Dulcich led the Dolphins in catches, receiving yards and targets as Miami notched its first win of the season. The 2022 third-round pick of the Broncos is still searching for his first touchdown of the season after scoring once in 10 games for the Dolphins in 2025. Dulcich is likely to remain a key target for Malik Willis in Week 8 against the Patriots.

Taylor caught all five of his targets for 62 yards and two touchdowns while adding a two-point conversion in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Taylor bookended the scoring for the Jets. He got New York on the board with a 13-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter and rounded out the scoring in the fourth with a 12-yard touchdown reception and the ensuing two-point conversion. The 2025 second-round pick entered Sunday's action with just one touchdown in 17 career regular-season appearances, but Taylor posted the best performance of his young career while outplaying 2026 first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq, who had just one catch for six yards. Taylor will continue to face competition for targets from Sadiq, as well as the wide receiver trio of Garrett Wilson, Omar Cooper and Adonai Mitchell, in Week 8 against the Raiders.

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.

Stroud completed 17 of 28 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants. He added two rushing attempts for four yards and threw a successful two-point conversion.

Stroud threw a six-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Harrison in the final minute of the first half and added a two-point conversion to Cade Stover to tie the score at 14-14 heading into halftime. Houston's next points didn't come until the final minute of the fourth quarter, when Stroud found Xavier Hutchinson for a three-yard touchdown that sent the game to overtime. The Texans went three-and-out on the first possession of OT, and the Giants responded with a touchdown to drop the Texans to 2-5 heading into Houston's Week 8 bye. It's hard to blame Stroud for the team's poor record given his strong 11:1 TD:INT.

Marks rushed 19 times for 66 yards and caught his only target for 15 yards in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.

Mark remained busy in the absence of David Montgomery (groin), handling 20 touches while no other running back got a touch for the Texans. Over the last three games, the first of which Montgomery left early and the last two of which he missed, Marks has recorded 247 scrimmage yards on 56 touches. Marks missed some action in the second half Sunday due to a leg injury but returned to the game. Houston's Week 8 bye will give both Marks and Montgomery a chance to heal up, and Houston would likely return to a backfield platoon in Week 9 against the Chargers if Montgomery's ready to play.

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.

Irving rushed 24 times for 106 yards and two touchdowns while bringing in one of two targets for four yards in the Buccaneers' 43-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that stayed with Tampa Bay.

Irving put together a vintage performance on the ground on his way to his second 100-yard effort of the season, both which have come within the last three games. The versatile back was surprisingly involved sparsely as a pass catcher, but Irving helped stake the Buccaneers to a commanding lead with four- and one-yard touchdown runs in the first half. It marked Irving's first multi-TD day of the season on the ground, and he'll next take aim at the defense of another divisional opponent in the Falcons at home next Sunday.

Jones completed 13 of 22 passes for 108 yards with an interception in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings. He added 13 yards on four carries.

Whatever Jones learned during his brief time under Minnesota coach Kevin O'Connell at the end of the 2024 season didn't help him figure out Brian Flores' defense. The QB posted a season low in passing yards, and he failed to throw a touchdown for the third time in seven starts this season. Jones will take a miserable 4:7 TD:INT into a Week 8 tilt against the Jaguars.

Thomas (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Rams.

Thomas suffered a shoulder injury early in the first half, and his status for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer will continue to operate as the Raiders' primary options at tight end.
