Etienne posted six carries for eight yards and reeled in all two targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 43-13 defeat to the Buccaneers.

Etienne made his second appearance of the 2026 campaign after missing the first four games due to an ankle injury. Although he was slightly more productive than he was in the Week 6 win over the Eagles, it was still an underwhelming showing overall. Etienne should continue to occupy the No. 2 spot on the depth chart. However, Chuba Hubbard is anticipated to nearly monopolize the touches out of the backfield moving forward, so it doesn't really matter who is behind him.

Engram caught one of three targets for two yards during Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cardinals.

Engram played a season-low 23 offensive snaps in the victory, and as a result, he was limited to one or zero catches for the fourth time this season. The tight end hasn't reached the end zone since Week 1, and he'll remain an unappealing fantasy option ahead of a Week 8 matchup with the Chiefs.

Boutte caught one of two targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss versus the Giants.

Boutte played a season-low 18 offensive snaps in Week 7, trailing behind Nico Collins (34) and Xavier Hutchinson (31) and tying with Jaylin Noel (toe). Predictably, he wasn't very involved in an inefficient passing game. As recent trade acquisition Marvin Harrison gets acclimated, Boutte's role will probably continue to shrink as the campaign continues.

Allen logged six snaps on special teams and didn't show up on the box score otherwise during Sunday's 28-25 win over the Jets.

Allen -- who was claimed off waivers by the Dolphins one day after being let go by the Commanders on Oct. 8 -- was cleared to make his debut with his new team Sunday. He was limited to work on special teams, but he could carve himself a role on offense as he gets more familiar with the playbook. Jaylen Wright left Sunday's game and did not return due to a quadriceps, and if he cannot play against the Raiders in Week 8, then Allen would step into the RB2 role behind Ollie Gordon.

Mendoza did not appear in Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Rams.

Mendoza didn't see any action for the second straight week after he got his toes wet in the team's Week 5 loss to New England. With the Raiders falling to 3-4 with the loss in Week 7, current starting quarterback Kirk Cousins may not remain in that role for much longer. Las Vegas will travel to face the Jets in Week 8 before a trio of tough matchups against the 49ers, Seahawks and Broncos in the next three weeks.

Jeudy caught all four of his targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 27-24 win at Tennessee.

Jeudy now has four catches in each of his last two games, an encouraging sign after he had no more than three in any of the first five games of the season. He's still trailing rookies Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion in terms of playing time, however. Jeudy is not on the radar in most formats going into a Week 8 matchup at Pittsburgh.

Franklin caught neither of his targets in the Broncos' 30-16 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Franklin played 28 offensive snaps in Sunday's contest. Despite being on the field for 46 percent of the Broncos' offensive plays, the No. 3 option was targeted only twice and failed to catch either pass.

Mitchell failed to haul in any of his three targets during the Jets' 28-25 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Mitchell was cleared to return from a four-game absence due to a finger injury. However, the third-year pro was unable to connect with Geno Smith during Sunday's loss, and Mitchell's 26 offensive snaps were third-most among Jets wide receivers behind Garrett Wilson (50) and rookie Omar Cooper (38). Mitchell logged 15 targets through the first two games of the regular season prior to his injury, but his offensive opportunities figure to be limited while competing for targets against Wilson, Cooper and tight ends Mason Taylor and Kenyon Sadiq. The Jets will stay home for Week 8 against the Raiders, whose defense has given up the second-most passing touchdowns (16) this season.

Tremble hauled in one catch for eight yards during Sunday's 43-13 loss to the Buccaneers.

Tremble had two touchdowns in the 25-14 win over the Eagles in Week 6. However, it was a different story in Week 7, with the 26-year-old catching just one pass for the second time this season. While Tremble could find the end zone again at some point moving forward, he likely won't be consistent enough to be considered anything other than a desperation fantasy option, especially while Darren Waller is on the field.

Mims caught both of his targets for 53 yards, rushed once for three yards and accumulated 103 yards over four punt returns in the Broncos' 30-16 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Mims played 16 offensive snaps and 10 special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. The speedy wide receiver saw just 26 percent of the team's offensive snaps and was mainly utilized as a pressure-release option underneath for the Broncos' offense in the win.
