Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Ties 2022 TD total in seven games
Hill turned 15 targets into 11 receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Eagles.
Hill scored his seventh receiving touchdown of the season Sunday, tying the number he scored last year over 17 games in his first season with the Dolphins. The speedster continues to be the focal point of Miami's high-flying offense while leading the league with 902 receiving yards. Philadelphia's AJ Brown sits at No. 2 on that list, but he finished with the superior receiving line (10-137-1) for the victorious team Sunday. The Patriots will be the next team to attempt to slow down Hill's furious pace when Miami hosts New England next Sunday.

A.J. Brown WR | NE
Eagles' A.J. Brown: Standout performance on SNF
Brown hauled in 10 receptions on 15 targets for 137 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Dolphins.
Brown and the Eagles came out victorious in a primetime battle between conference contenders that featured two of the league's top wideouts Sunday. The 26-year-old bested Tyreek Hill's 11-88-1 receiving line for the Dolphins as both superstars led their respective teams with 15 targets apiece. Brown has now recorded at least 125 receiving yards in five consecutive games, tying an unofficial league record shared by Calvin Johnson (2012) and Pat Studstill (1966). Brown will look to become the sole holder of that honor if he can produce another monster receiving line against the Commanders next Sunday.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling WR | DAL
Chiefs' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Best game of season in win
Valdes-Scantling secured three of five targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 31-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Valdes-Scantling finished a distant second in receiving yards to Travis Kelce on the afternoon for the Chiefs, but the veteran receiver's tally was his best of the season by far. Valdes-Scantling hadn't topped 48 receiving yards prior to Sunday, and the play that was integral to him eclipsing that mark, his early-second-quarter 46-yard touchdown reception, also served as his first score of the campaign. Despite the encouraging numbers Sunday, MVS remains a highly speculative fantasy option week-to-week due to the Chiefs' propensity for spreading the ball around to an inordinate number of targets.

Tyler Scott WR | LAR
Bears' Tyler Scott: Best game of season
Scott caught two passes for 19 yards in the Bears' 30-12 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
After being targeted five times over Chicago's first five games, Scott has seen four targets in each of his last two games. The recent bump in production along with an increased snap share since Week 5 are promising, but until Scott can post higher yardage totals, he's not yet a consistent fantasy option.

Velus Jones Jr. WR | SEA
Bears' Velus Jones: Catches one pass in win
Jones failed to gain a yard on his only reception in the Bears' 30-12 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Jones has touched the ball six times for 27 yards on offense this season, and it appears that his greatest value to the team will be on special teams unless his role is changed.
-
Darnell Mooney WR | NYG
Bears' Darnell Mooney: Four grabs in victory
Mooney caught four passes for 32 yards in the Bears' 30-12 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Mooney was second among Chicago's wide receivers with four targets in a game the team controlled throughout. On the season, he has yet to surpass 53 yards in a game while finding the end zone once. Unless Mooney begins to see an uptick in targets, he'll likely continue to be a low-upside fantasy option.

Rondale Moore WR | MIN
Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Gains 26 yards on six touches
Moore caught two of four targets for two yards and rushed four times for 24 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Seahawks.
Moore saw his usual allotment of combined rushes and receptions, but he failed to break off a big play and finished with another underwhelming fantasy line. The dual-threat wideout has been more effective on the ground (15-136-1) than he has operating out of the slot for Arizona this season (17-113-0). Moore's current value is limited to deeper leagues heading into next Sunday's matchup against Baltimore.

Donovan Peoples-Jones WR | NO
Browns' Donovan Peoples-Jones: Another subdued week
Peoples-Jones caught two of three targets for 22 yards and returned three punts for 22 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over Indianapolis in Week 7.
Peoples-Jones caught more than one pass for just the second time in six games, as the fourth-year veteran has seen his targets squeezed in 2023. Cleveland's passing offense hasn't taken flight as expected, and Peoples-Jones has failed to establish chemistry with any of the team's quarterbacks -- Deshaun Watson (shoulder), PJ Walker or Dorian Thompson-Robinson. He's caught eight of 18 targets for 97 yards through six games.

Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Returns to game
Waddle (back) has returned to Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Waddle is back out on the field with Miami after exiting the game in the second quarter with a back injury. The wide receiver has three catches for 38 yards to this point in the contest.

Elijah Moore WR | PHI
Browns' Elijah Moore: Cracks 50-yard mark in win
Moore caught four of seven targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Colts in Week 7.
Moore, who entered the game with 20 combined yards the last two weeks, rebounded to lead the Browns in receiving yards Sunday. He's been a disappointment thus far, but so has Cleveland's passing game as a whole. Some of that is due to quarterback Deshaun Watson's gimpy shoulder, which cost him two games and knocked him out in the first quarter Sunday after being brought down by Colts defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo. However, a healthy Watson was an uneven performer, and that's impacted the receivers' production. The Browns have fewer than 200 yards passing in four of six games.
