White caught one of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Rams.

White has now posted back-to-back duds, totaling one catch for four yards on five targets across the last two contests. In an offense that doesn't often to use three wide receivers on the field at once, White is pretty clearly behind both Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor for snaps and routes. White ran just nine routes on Kirk Cousins' 48 dropbacks in Week 7.

Mooney caught one of three targets for four yards and rushed once for three yards during Sunday's 27-21 overtime win against the Texans.

Mooney was held to one or zero catches for the third time in four weeks, and he has yet to exceed two receptions in a contest this season. The wide receiver will continue to be an unattractive fantasy option when the Giants return to action Week 9 against the Eagles.

TeSlaa caught one of his two targets for 10 yards in the Lions' 20-17 win over the Packers on Sunday.

TeSlaa played 33 offensive snaps for the Lions in the contest. The wide receiver participated in 49 percent of the team's offensive snaps but failed to receive much attention from Jared Goff for the second week in a row.

Mallory did not catch any of his three targets during Sunday's 13-10 loss to Minnesota.

Mallory and the other Colts tight ends worked in larger roles offensively Sunday due to the absence of Tyler Warren (groin). However, the former's 21 offensive snaps were third-most behind Mo Alie-Cox (39) and Drew Ogletree (35), and Mallory could not connect with Daniel Jones, with the third and final pass resulting in an interception by Harrison Smith. Mallory has seen nine targets over his last two games since coming off injured reserve, but his role would shrink against the Jaguars in Week 8 if Warren is given the green light to play in that contest.

Alie-Cox failed to haul in either of his targets during the Colts' 13-10 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Alie-Cox led all Colts tight ends with 39 offensive snaps, but he could not connect with Daniel Jones on two pass attempts from the veteran quarterback. Alie-Cox and the other Indianapolis tight ends were operating in elevated roles for a second consecutive week due to the absence of Tyler Warren (groin). Alie-Cox's snap count would take a hit if Warren was cleared to return for Week 8 against Jacksonville.

Ogletree caught both of his passes for 12 yards during the Colts' 13-10 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Ogletree and the other Colts tight ends stepped into larger roles offensively for a second consecutive week due to the absence of Tyler Warren (groin). Ogletree's 35 offensive snaps were second-most among Indianapolis' tight ends, and he set season highs in catches, targets and receiving yards. He's mostly worked as a blocker on offense, and his snap count would be lower in Week 8 against the Jaguars if Warren is cleared to return for that contest.

Treadwell caught both of his targets for 19 yards in the Colts' 16-10 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Treadwell played 45 offensive snaps in Sunday's loss. The wide receiver participated in 74 percent of the Colts' offensive plays, but the No. 3 option saw fewer targets than Josh Downs and Keenan Allen.

Daniels was back in his primary reserve role behind Baker Mayfield in Sunday's 43-13 win over the Panthers.

Daniels entered Sunday's contest late in the fourth quarter with Tampa Bay in full command of the contest, ultimately recording minus-three rushing yards while kneeling on back-to-back plays to end the game. With Mayfield back in action, Daniels will now have to wait for his next chance to command the Buccaneers' offense.

Winston turned four carries into four yards and a touchdown during the Giants' 27-21 overtime win over the Texans on Sunday.

The Giants turned to J.J. McCarthy to serve as the starting quarterback for Week 7 after Winston filled in that role in each of the four prior games. McCarthy looked more poised in the pocket, but all four of the Giants' touchdowns came on the ground, with Winston finding the end zone on a designed QB sneak late in the second quarter. That figures to be the veteran's role moving forward unless McCarthy were to miss time.

Higgins caught all three of his targets for 17 yards and made one tackle on kick coverage in the Cardinals' 30-16 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Higgins played 39 offensive snaps and 17 special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. The versatile tight end continues to see moderate attention in the passing game, allowing the Cardinals to continue playing 12- and 13-personnel packages.
