Cardinals' Michael Wilson: One catch in win
Wilson caught one of three targets for 15 yards in Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.
Wilson played 44 of the Cardinals 57 offensive snaps Monday, trailing Marvin Harrison (48) but well ahead of depth wideouts Greg Dortch (17), Zay Jones (11) and Zach Pascal (2). Despite his healthy snap share as the No. 2 wideout, the 24-year-old was unable to make much of an impact in Arizona's aerial attack. With the offense struggling to perform consistently from week to week, Wilson's fantasy utility continues to be inconsistent, as well.

Simi Fehoko WR | ARI
Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Three grabs in loss
Fehoko secured three of his six targets for 45 yards in Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals.
Fehoko played 92 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps, his highest share of the season and the most of any Los Angeles wideout in the contest. The six targets were another season high for the 26-year-old, but despite his increased involvement in the offense, Fehoko was unable to make much noise for fantasy purposes. Even if his playing time holds during Sunday's game against the Saints, Fehoko won't make for a reliable fantasy option while he remains tethered to a run-heavy offense.

DeAndre Hopkins WR | BAL
Titans' DeAndre Hopkins: Trade to Kansas City in works
The Titans are expected to finalize a trade Wednesday that sends Hopkins (lower leg) to the Chiefs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Per Rapoport, the deal that would send the veteran wideout to Kansas City is for a future fifth-round draft pick that can become a fourth-rounder, with Tennessee expected to absorb some of Hopkins' salary. The looming transaction is set to provide a major boost to a Chiefs wideout corps that has been hit hard by injuries, with Rashee Rice (knee) as well as Hollywood Brown (shoulder) on injured reserve and with JuJu Smith-Schuster currently sidelined by a hamstring issue. Assuming the lower leg soreness that Hopkins was contending with coming out of the Titans' Week 7 loss to the Bills doesn't affect his availability, the 32-year-old could make his debut with Kansas City on Sunday against the Raiders.

Nelson Agholor WR | BAL
Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Minimal production in win
Agholor caught one of his two targets for 20 yards in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.
Agholor continued to operate as the Ravens No. 3 wide receiver Monday, playing 28 of the Ravens 59 offensive snaps behind Rashod Bateman (45) and Zay Flowers (42). Through seven games, the veteran wideout has only one catch in all but one contest: Week 4 when he caught two passes. Due to his consistent minimal production, Agholor should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Browns.

Trey Palmer WR | NO
Buccaneers' Trey Palmer: Minimal production against Ravens
Palmer caught one of his three targets for 16 yards in Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens.
Despite taking on a more of a prominent role with teammate Mike Evans (hamstring) exiting early in the first half of the contest, Palmer was unable to deliver a useful line over his 59 snaps. With Evans expected to miss at least three games with his injury and with Chris Godwin suffering what appears to be a season-ending ankle injury at the tail end of Monday's loss, Palmer will likely continue to play plenty of snaps Week 8 versus the Falcons. Fellow receivers Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard should also benefit from increased roles.

Sterling Shepard WR | TB
Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: One catch in loss
Shepard caught his lone target for 15 yards in Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens.
Shepard was not much of a factor Monday, as his one target was a season low through five games with Tampa Bay. The veteran wideout played 37 of the Buccaneer's 82 offensive snaps and was mostly an afterthought in the passing game. His usage could drastically change going forward, as Chris Godwin (ankle) is likely done for the season and Mike Evans (hamstring) is set to miss at least three weeks. Shepard is a candidate to take on a lot of the target share from quarterback Baker Mayfield, with Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer also set to handle more work. The 31-year-old Shepard should see a lot of opportunities in a Week 8 matchup against the Falcons.

Luke McCaffrey WR | WAS
Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Not targeted in blowout win
McCaffrey was held without a target in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers.
McCaffrey was a complete non-factor Week 7, as the rookie was held without a reception for the first time since Week 2. The 23-year-old wideout played 26 of the Commanders' 69 offensive snaps Sunday, trailing fellow receiversTerry McLaurin (49), Noah Brown (42) and Olamide Zaccheaus (29). At this point, McCaffrey isn't seeing enough usage in Washington's passing attack to be in consideration for fantasy purposes.

Noah Brown WR | LV
Commanders' Noah Brown: Targeted once in win
Brown caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers.
Brown's one target and one catch in Week 7 were both season lows in the five games he's played so far in 2024. The 28-year-old wideout played the second-most snaps (42) in the contest among Commanders receivers, just behind Terry McLaurin (49). Brown has continued to see his role grow throughout the early part of the season, and it's possible that he could gain some fantasy appeal if he can make the most of his opportunities in Washington's passing attack. Brown might have difficulty taking a meaningful step forward in Week 8, however, as the Commanders could be without rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels (ribs) when they square off against the Bears.

Mack Hollins WR | NE
Bills' Mack Hollins: Held catchless in Week 7
Hollins failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans.
Hollins was held without a catch for just the second time all season, yet the veteran wideout led all Buffalo wide receivers in offensive snaps (41). The arrival of new acquisition Amari Cooper, who saw five targets while playing just 19 snaps, certainly contributed to Hollins' decreased usage in the passing game. Going forward, Hollins will likely continue to see his role decrease as the Buffalo's No. 4 wideout. The 31-year-old will be hard to trust for fantasy purposes when the Bills visit the Seahawks in Week 8.

Mike Strachan WR | WAS
Mike Strachan: Signs with practice squad
Strachan signed with the Commanders' practice squad Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.
The wide receiver was waived by the Panthers in August after playing on 54 preseason snaps and catching one pass. Strachan has six catches for 130 yards and no touchdowns in 23 regular-season games across three seasons. The 2021 seventh-round pick's last catch came in 2023.
