Bachman was not targeted in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.

Bachman, who was signed to the Raiders' active roster this past week after exhausting his three practice squad elevations for the season, did not earn a single target against the Rams despite playing 36 of 79 offensive snaps. Bachman's playing time figures to drastically decrease upon Jakobi Meyers' (ankle) return to action, which could come in Week 8 versus the Chiefs.

Turner caught two of seven targets for 13 yards and also returned one punt for seven yards in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.

Turner logged 75 of a possible 79 offensive snaps while earning a career-high seven targets with fellow wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) inactive for a second straight game, but the attention given to Turner from quarterbacks Aidan O'Connell (thumb) and Gardner Minshew didn't amount to much fantasy production. Meyers' potential Week 8 return from injury would result in a demotion for Turner into the No. 3 role, but he remains somewhat relevant following Davante Adams' departure to the Jets. Regardless, rookie sensation Brock Bowers continues to command a significant portion of the target share among this struggling aerial attack.

Bateman caught all four of his targets for 121 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

Nobody on the Ravens saw more than four targets as Lamar Jackson spread the wealth en route to five touchdown passes, but Bateman made the most of his opportunities with a 59-yard catch in the second quarter and a 49-yard touchdown reception in the third. Bateman has yet to record more than four catches in a game this season, but he's averaging a robust 18.8 yards per reception and has scored in three of his last five games. Up next for Bateman and the Ravens is a trip to Cleveland in Week 8.

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said after Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens that Godwin is feared to have suffered a dislocated left ankle, Coral Smith NFL.com reports.

With about a minute left in the game, Godwin made a 21-yard reception but appeared to severely twist his left leg when he was tackled to the ground. He was later carted off the field with an air cast on his left leg. Godwin will undergo an MRI on Tuesday before the Buccaneers provide an updated diagnosis, but if the dislocated ankle is confirmed and surgery is deemed necessary, he would miss the rest of the season.

McMillan secured three of eight targets for 15 yards and rushed once for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 41-31 loss to the Ravens on Monday night.

McMillan surprisingly finished third in targets, although the first-half exit of Mike Evans (hamstring) certainly played a part. The rookie was largely inefficient with those opportunities, yet he could be primed to continue drawing plenty of Baker Mayfield's attention moving forward. Evans could potentially miss a Week 8 home matchup against the Falcons, at minimum, while Scott Smith of the team's official site reports the injury that forced Chris Godwin to be carted off late in Monday night's game appears to be a dislocated ankle that would very likely result in a multi-game absence.

McConkey (hip) caught five of seven targets for 46 yards in Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals.

McConkey was one of several Chargers' wideouts carrying injury designations heading into Monday's contest. The 2024 second-round pick managed to overcome a hip injury in order to suit up and fill a prominent role on offense. The rookie had a couple drops that hit him in the hands but otherwise looked sharp on his routes while finishing with solid PPR numbers. McConkey remains a reliable option in deeper formats, but he lacks the upside necessary to mark him a must-play option against the Saints on Sunday.

Harrison had three receptions (on six targets) for 21 yards in Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.

Harrison's up-and-down rookie campaign continued with another lackluster fantasy score. The 2024 first-round selection still boasts a solid 20-300-4 receiving line through four weeks, but most of that production came across a three-game span Weeks 2-4. Harrison has the pedigree and potential to be worth a start in most fantasy formats, despite his recent returns signaling the contrary. Keep faith heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Palmer secured four of five targets for 63 yards in the Chargers' 17-15 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night.

Palmer was expected to see a larger role with the absence of No. 2 receiver Quentin Johnston (ankle), but he saw only a slight bump in targets. The extra involvement was enough to allow Palmer to set season highs across the board, yet he was only third in catches and fourth in targets, with tight end Will Dissly surprisingly setting the pace across the board for the Chargers' pass catchers. Palmer next takes aim at the Saints in a Week 8 home matchup, a game that Johnston could also potentially sit out.

Robinson reeled in six of nine targets for 23 yards Sunday in a Week 7 loss to the Eagles.

Even with rookie Malik Nabers back from a two-week absence due to a concussion, Robinson continued to be peppered with plenty of looks from QB Daniel Jones, as he led the team in targets. However, Robinson's receptions resulted in just 23 yards, with his long gain of the day going for just six yards. The third-year wideout has been almost exclusively a short-field option for the Giants this season, as he's averaging just 7.0 yards per reception and has just one catch of 20-plus yards. Robinson has at least eight targets and five catches in six of his seven contests this season, giving him a relatively safe floor in PPR formats, though he's much less of an asset in non-PPR given that he's been held to 50 or fewer receiving yards five times on the campaign.

Flowers caught his only target for 11 yards and rushed once for 19 yards in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

Flowers appeared to hurt his ankle on his 19-yard run in the second quarter. He stayed in the game and couldn't corral a backward pass in the fourth quarter on a play that went down as a Lamar Jackson fumble. Flowers' lack of involvement was especially disappointing considering Jackson threw five touchdown passes, but it's likely that the ankle injury had something to do with Flowers' quiet night. With that context in mind, Flowers' Week 8 status will bear monitoring as he has one fewer day than usual to recover before facing the Browns.
