London secured seven of 10 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 29-20 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

London contributed team-high totals in receptions, receiving yardage and targets on the afternoon, and he added his first touchdown of the season on a 21-yard grab on the first play of the fourth quarter. While the 9.4 yards per reception he averaged Sunday represented a season low, London is still averaging a career-best 16.2 yards per reception and has three straight double-digit target tallies heading into a Week 8 road divisional clash against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

Jefferson caught four of seven targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts.

The targets and receiving yards actually led the Vikings in a low-scoring defensive battle, but it was T.J. Hockenson on the other end of Kyler Murray's only TD pass. Jefferson is still looking for his first 100-yard performance of the season, and he's been held under 60 yards in three of his five games. The star wideout could be poised to finally break out in Week 8 against the Lions' struggling secondary.

Flowers brought in eight of 11 targets for 137 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 35-13 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

The standout receiver had a big hand in staking the Ravens to a 13-0 halftime lead, and although Baltimore couldn't muster a single point in the second half, Flowers still finished with team-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals. Flowers also had a game-long 48-yard catch, which qualified as his third touchdown of the season as well. Flowers has shown excellent chemistry with both Lamar Jackson (ankle) and Tyler Huntley, and reports indicate the fleet-footed receiver is likely to have the former under center for a Week 8 road showdown against the Bills.

Downs caught two of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings.

Daniel Jones couldn't get anything going at all through the air against the Minnesota defense, and Downs' four targets actually led Indianapolis, although he didn't accomplish much with that modest volume. The two grabs and four targets tied his season lows, and Downs has been held under 20 receiving yards in two of the last four games, and under 50 in all four. Unless Jones can shake himself out of his stupor, Downs' ceiling will remain very limited in a Week 8 tilt against the Jaguars.

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.

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.

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.

Noel (toe) was seen in a walking boot after Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Noel suffered a toe injury in the fourth quarter of Week 7 action and didn't return, finishing with two catches (on two targets) for minus-3 yards. He wasn't able to parlay his 107-yard outing from Week 6 against the Jaguars in London into any success this Sunday, and he now be in danger of missing time.

Douglas (ankle) caught two of three targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Jets.

Douglas made an immediate impact in his first action since Week 2. The rookie third-round pick capped the game's first drive with a seven-yard touchdown catch for his first NFL TD, then stayed in along the sideline to score again on a 63-yard catch-and-run in the fourth quarter. Miami utilizes a run-heavy approach when possible, but the Dolphins may be forced to throw more if they fall behind as expected in Week 8 against the Patriots, which could lead to more opportunities for Douglas.

Wilson caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Wilson wasn't targeted in the first half as the Jets took a 21-7 deficit into the locker room. He was slightly more involved in the second half, but Wilson was overshadowed for a second consecutive game by rookie first-round pick Omar Cooper, who has exceeded 100 receiving yards with a touchdown in both games since recovering from an ankle injury. Wilson will try to bounce back from this season-worst performance in catches, receiving yards and targets when the Jets host the Raiders in Week 8.
