Hill caught one of two targets for eight yards and gained five rushing yards on one carry in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Colts.

Neither Tyler Huntley (shoulder) nor Tim Boyle has any success looking for their wide receivers on the afternoon, giving Hill few opportunities to make an impact. The speedster has topped 1,700 receiving yards in each of the last two seasons, the first player in NFL history to do so, but the Dolphins' QB woes have eliminated any chance of a repeat for Hill. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will be eligible to return from IR in Week 8 against the Cardinals, but if he isn't cleared for game action, it seems to make little difference to Hill whether Huntley, Boyle or Skylar Thompson (ribs) is under center.

Jefferson secured seven of eight targets for 81 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for three yards in the Vikings' 31-29 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Jefferson found the end zone from 25 yards out early in the third quarter, giving the Vikings some life after the Lions had scored 21 unanswered points in the second period. However, it was a relatively quiet day otherwise for the star receiver against a division rival he's already put up some elite numbers against on multiple occasions in his career. Jefferson now has at least 81 receiving yards in four straight games but hasn't eclipsed the century mark in any of them, a matter he'll look to rectify against the Rams' vulnerable secondary in a Week 8 Thursday night road matchup.

St. Brown secured all eight targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 31-29 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

St. Brown led the Lions in receptions, receiving yards and targets with totals that also served as the second highest for him this season. The star wideout's 35-yard scoring grab in the second quarter also extended his streak of games with a touchdown to four, while the 100-yard performance marked his second time eclipsing the century mark this season. St. Brown next takes aim at a Titans defense that just surrendered a 100-yard performance to Bills rookie Keon Coleman when Detroit hosts Tennessee for a Week 8 interconference matchup.

Wicks (shoulder) caught three of six targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans.

Wicks finished second behind Romeo Doubs in both targets and receiving yards while playing through a shoulder injury the former sustained in Week 6 against Arizona. Most of Wicks' production came on a 30-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. Wicks has reached the end zone on four of his 14 catches this season, and the opportunistic wide receiver will try to continue his scoring spree in Week 8 against a generous Jacksonville secondary.

Dell didn't catch any of his four targets in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.

Dell was targeted in the end zone on consecutive plays on Houston's first drive, but the first went off his hands and he came down out of bounds with the second one, the latter of which didn't count due to a defensive offside. He ended up without a catch on three official first-half targets and was blanked on his only second-half target as C.J. Stroud threw for only 86 yards in an uncharacteristically shabby outing for Houston's entire passing game. Dell should continue to see additional opportunities as the Texans remain without star receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) against the Colts in Week 8.

Doubs caught eight of 10 targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans.

Doubs has produced two strong performances since being suspended for a game by the Packers, scoring two touchdowns in Week 6 against the Cardinals before leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards in the win over Houston. No teammate had more than six targets or 48 receiving yards in Sunday's win, though Doubs wasn't on the receiving end of any of Jordan Love's three touchdown passes. Doubs will look to keep building momentum in Week 8 against the Jaguars.

Diggs caught five of seven targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.

Diggs had just three receiving yards in the first half and was only marginally better in the second half as C.J. Stroud threw for only 86 yards in the game. The veteran wide receiver's modest contributions included a two-yard catch on third-and-1 to extend a fourth-quarter drive that culminated in Ka'imi Fairbairn's go-ahead 35-yard field goal with 1:44 remaining, but the Packers responded with a game-winning Brandon McManus field goal as time expired to drop the Texans to 5-2. Houston's passing game has a nice opportunity to bounce back at home in Week 8 against a leaky Colts defense that Diggs burned for two touchdowns back in Week 1.

Smith-Schuster left Sunday's contest in San Francisco due to a hamstring injury, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Smith-Schuster showed up on the Chiefs' Week 7 practice report midweek due to a hamstring issue, which capped his reps Thursday and Friday. While he entered the weekend as questionable, he eventually was deemed active about 90 minutes before Sunday's kickoff. With Hollywood Brown (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (knee) on injured reserve, Smith-Schuster is among the top remaining available options at WR for KC, but he now will cede snaps to Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson, Mecole Hardman and Skyy Moore.

Reed caught two of four targets for 10 yards and rushed once for no gain in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans. He added one punt return for five yards.

Reed played through the ankle injury he sustained in the Week 6 win over the Cardinals and didn't have an injury designation for the game but lacked his usual explosiveness. After posting at least 97 yards of offense in each of his first three games with Jordan Love under center this season, Reed has only 38 yards over the last two such games combined. A Week 8 home game against the Jaguars presents a nice opportunity for Reed to get back on track, but it will be worth monitoring whether his name continues to pop up on the Packers' injury report in practice.

Coach Mike Macdonald said Metcalf "banged his knee a little bit" during Sunday's 34-14 win in Atlanta, but the injury "doesn't look too bad," John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Metcalf exited this Week 7 matchup in the fourth quarter and eventually needed a cart to get to the locker room. Prior to his departure, he reeled in four of seven targets for 99 yards and one touchdown. Considering Macdonald's comments, Metcalf likely isn't in danger of missing any time, but Seattle likely will do its due diligence to ensure the health concern won't impact his availability moving forward.
