Sutton caught three of five targets for 45 yards during Sunday's 30-16 win over Arizona.

Sutton was able to reel in three passes for the first time since Week 3, and his 45 receiving yards were his second highest total in a contest this year. The wide receiver has had an overall disappointing campaign so far, but Jaylen Waddle (chest) exited the contest in the fourth quarter, so Sutton could be thrust into a more prominent role in Week 8 against the Chiefs.

Chase brought in five of seven targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 35-13 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Chase played a clear second fiddle to Tee Higgins, who had a team-high 148 receiving yards, on the afternoon, as the former finished second to his teammate in receptions and receiving yards while tying him for the team lead in targets. Chase also recorded a touchdown grab for the second straight game, bringing in a two-yard scoring strike from Joe Burrow at the halfway point of the fourth quarter. Chase is still in search of his first 100-yard game of the season, and he'll look to break the ice on that front in a Week 8 home matchup against a vulnerable Titans secondary next Sunday.

Johnson caught both of his targets for 33 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 43-13 win over the Panthers.

Johnson led Tampa Bay in receiving yards while he was one of two pass-catchers with multiple receptions. Quarterback Baker Mayfield made his return to action after missing three games with a thumb injury, and he only attempted 11 passes, but the two connected for a 14-yard score in the second quarter. On the year, Johnson has now reeled in nine of 15 targets for 178 yards and a touchdown over seven contests. He was operating in a more prominent role with Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) unavailable Sunday, and if Egbuka is available in Week 8, Johnson figures to revert back to a depth role versus the Falcons.

Hutchinson caught three of six targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants. He added 12 rushing yards on two attempts.

On a day C.J. Stroud targeted nine different players, Hutchinson tied Dalton Schultz for the team lead with six targets. Nico Collins led the wideout group with 24 routes, but Hutchinson tied Jaylin Noel (toe) for second at the position with 15 routes. In a receiver room that is running six deep on game days, none of these Houston wide receivers are reliably playable in fantasy outside of Collins.

Golden gathered in six of 12 targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 20-17 defeat in Detroit.

Golden has been targeted at least 12 times by QB Jordan Love in four of seven appearances this season, resulting in three 100-yard efforts to date. Drops and near misses between the two continue to be a feature in the Packers offense, though, as Golden has recorded a catch rate of 50 percent or better four times, with his mark in 2026 sitting at only 52.2 percent. Golden and Green Bay next have a Thursday night matchup with the Panthers on the docket in Week 8.

Watson notched five catches (on eight targets) for 57 yards and no touchdowns during Sunday's 20-17 defeat at Detroit.

Watson's team-high 28-yard catch in the second quarter got the Packers into the red zone for the third time in Week 7, but after a Jordan Love to Tucker Kraft TD connection on the team's second possession, Green Bay otherwise failed to score on three of four trips to premium territory. Watson himself paced the team in receiving yards Sunday, but he also wasn't able to score a TD for the third time in the last four games, leaving him sitting on six scores in seven appearances. He and his teammates have a quick turnaround with a Thursday night matchup with the Panthers on tap in Week 8.

Wilson caught four of eight targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos. He also rushed twice for 11 yards.

Wilson finished second on the team behind Trey McBride in catches, receiving yards and targets. The fourth-year wideout has drawn at least seven targets in every game this season, but Wilson has exceeded 56 receiving yards only twice in seven tries. Wilson hasn't stepped up since the Cardinals traded away Marvin Harrison, but the upcoming Week 8 matchup with Dallas' beatable secondary creates a potential breakout opportunity for Arizona's No. 1 wide receiver.

Nacua brought in eight of 10 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for 10 yards in the Rams' 35-21 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Nacua led the Rams in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, playing through his calf injury without issue while also helping make up for the absence of Davante Adams (IR, hamstring). Nacua rounded out his busy day with his second touchdown catch of the season, which came from 11 yards out with just over four minutes remaining in the second quarter. Nacua figures to be even more involved than usual while Adams is sidelined, and he'll take a 45-485-2 line into a Week 8 home matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

Watkins brought in three of six targets for 56 yards in the 49ers' 29-20 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

With the 49ers' receiving corps down all of Mike Evans (Achilles), Deebo Samuel (hamstring), De'Zhaun Stribling (IR, ankle) and Demarcus Robinson (IR, ankle), Watkins saw an expanded role and made good use of the opportunity. All three of Watkins' catches went for first downs, and he finished third in receiving yards and targets while also tying for that slotting in receptions. The 2025 fourth-round pick's performance was encouraging, but he's likely to slide back down the depth chart since the wide-receiver room could be much healthier by the time San Francisco returns to action against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 8 following the Week 8 bye.

Godwin secured four of five targets for 27 yards in the Buccaneers' 43-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Godwin served as the Buccaneers' de facto No. 1 receiver with Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) sidelined, but as it turned out, the Buccaneers' air attack had minimal involvement in the lopsided win. With the returning Baker Mayfield attempting just 11 passes and mustering 64 passing yards, Godwin's numbers were actually perfectly acceptable within that context. Godwin has back-to-back four-catch efforts and at least that number in three of the past four games overall; however, with an average of just 9.0 yards per reception and zero touchdowns through seven games, the veteran receiver carries very modest fantasy value even withe Egbuka sidelined.
