Jameson Williams WR | DET
Lions' Jameson Williams: Held catchless Monday
Williams failed to bring in either of his two targets in Monday's 24-9 win over Tampa Bay.
The usually sure-handed Williams failed to haul in either of his targets on a low-volume passing night dominated by Detroit's run game. The 24-year-old has been a hit-or-miss fantasy asset through seven weeks, doing most of his damage in two big-scoring games. Williams couldn't improve on his 17-289-2 receiving line Monday as the Lions prepare to enter a bye week. The Alabama product should continue to be treated as a risky high-upside play against the Vikings in Week 9.

Elic Ayomanor WR | TEN
Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Struggles against Patriots
Ayomanor recorded two receptions (on five targets) for 29 yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Patriots.
Ayomanor had a chance to step up in the absence of Calvin Ridley (hamstring), but it was Chimere Dike who instead had a relatively big performance. Ayomanor managed to tie for second on the team in targets, but he had a very quiet day after recording a 20-yard catch on the Titans' opening possession. He now has fewer than 30 receiving yards in three straight games.

Amon-Ra St. Brown WR | DET
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Back to scoring ways Monday
St. Brown finished with six receptions (on 10 targets) for 86 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 24-9 win over Tampa Bay.
St. Brown found his way back into the end zone after being held scoreless in Detroit's last two contests. The superstar wideout continued dominating QB Jared Goff's target share, finishing the primetime win with seven more targets than any other Lions receiver. St. Brown's mini scoring slump hasn't stopped him from posting a WR1 numbers (50-538-7) heading into his team's bye week. Fantasy managers will have to fill the Sun God's roster spot Week 8 until Detroit returns to action against Minnesota on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Emeka Egbuka WR | TB
Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Inefficient with targets in loss
Egbuka (hamstring) brought in four of 12 targets for 58 yards during the Buccaneers' 24-9 loss to the Lions on Monday night.
The rookie was surprisingly able to play through his hamstring strain, and he finished with a team-high target total while tying for second in both receptions and receiving yards. Egbuka also provided a team-high 30-yard catch, and given Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports Mike Evans has been diagnosed with a broken collarbone following his first-half exit from Monday's game, the 2025 first-round pick is set to play an elevated role for the rest of the season. Egbuka could be especially busy in Sunday's Week 8 road matchup against the Saints, considering Chris Godwin (fibula) could remain sidelined for that divisional clash.

Mike Evans WR | TB
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Suffers broken collarbone
Evans will be sidelined for most of the year after suffering a broken collarbone in Monday's 24-9 loss to the Lions, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Evans suffered the injury in the second quarter of Monday's loss while attempting to reel in a deep target. His absence will be a big blow to the Tampa Bay receiving corps, with Chris Godwin (leg) also banged up. Evans' streak of 11 straight campaigns with 1,000 receiving yards will also almost certainly come to an end.

Robbie Chosen WR | WAS
Commanders' Robbie Chosen: Lands back on practice squad
Chosen reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday.
Chosen got his first chance of the season to suit up in this past Sunday's 44-22 loss to Dallas and played 33 of 67 offensive snaps, placing him fourth among Commanders wideouts. He caught all four of his targets for 36 yards, with the reception total leading all Washington players. Chosen's opportunity came as a result of Washington's wideout corps being depleted by injuries -- each of Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), Deebo Samuel (heel) and Noah Brown (groin) were unable to play. Chosen's path to further opportunities likely depends on when the team's injured wideouts are able to return.

Mason Kinsey WR | TEN
Mason Kinsey: Returns to practice squad
The Titans reverted Kinsey to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Kinsey was elevated to the active roster ahead of this past Sunday's loss to New England and played four of 53 snaps on offense along with 22 snaps on special teams. Kinsey didn't get into the box score on offense but did notch one tackle in the return game. Whether Kinsey gets another look on gameday in Week 8 versus Indianapolis could depend on whether Calvin Ridley (hamstring) and/or Bryce Oliver (knee) are ready to return to action.

Malik Turner WR | SF
Malik Turner: Back with practice squad
Turner reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Turner was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 20-10 win over the Falcons, failing to record any stats on offensive while playing 10 snaps with the unit. With Ricky Pearsall (knee) unavailable, Turner's 10 offensive snaps ranked fourth at wide receiver, behind Jauan Jennings (57), Kendrick Bourne (52) and Demarcus Robinson (23). Additionally, Turner compiled two tackles on kick coverage and one takedown on punt coverage in Week 7. The wide receiver will now have to be officially signed to the active roster to appear in another game this season.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey WR | DEN
Giants' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Heads back to practice squad
Humphrey reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
In this past Sunday's loss to Denver, Humphrey led New York's wideouts with 74 offensive snaps (out of a possible 77), though he got only two targets and didn't catch either of him. Malik Nabers (knee) is out for the season, so Humphrey could eventually be signed to the active roster to provide every-week receiver depth. His role could be reduced, however, when Darius Slayton (hamstring) is ready to return to action.

Shedrick Jackson WR | LV
Shedrick Jackson: Heads back to practice squad
Jackson reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Jackson was elevated to the active roster to help fill in for Jakobi Meyers (knee) and Alex Bachman (ankle) in Week 7, failing to record any stats while playing three offensive snaps in the team's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs. The wide receiver can be elevated two more times before he'd have to be officially added to the active roster.
