  • Cyrus Allen WR | KC

    Chiefs' Cyrus Allen: One early catch in Week 7 loss

    Allen caught one of two targets for 18 yards during the Chiefs' 20-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Allen and Patrick Mahomes for an 18-yard pass on the Chiefs' second offensive play of the game, but the rookie wide receiver did not see another pass from his veteran quarterback until the fourth quarter. All three of Allen's catches this season have come over his last two games, which has coincided with the absence of Rashee Rice (knee/hamstring). Allen was on the field for 16 of the Chiefs' 53 offensive snaps Sunday, and his minimal role would decrease even more if Rice is cleared to return for Week 8 against the Broncos on Nov. 1.

  • Ja'Kobi Lane WR | BAL

    Ravens' Ja'Kobi Lane: Three snags in loss

    Lane caught three of five targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 35-13 loss to the Bengals.

    Lane finished second on the team in targets behind fellow wideout Zay Flowers (11), and he was able to reel in at least three passes for the second straight week. With Lamar Jackson (ankle) nearing a return to action, Lane may be able to establish himself as a reliable red-zone threat for Baltimore moving forward this season. The rookie's next chance to record his first career touchdown will come in Week 8 versus the Bills.

  • Britain Covey WR | PHI

    Eagles' Britain Covey: Won't return Monday

    Covey (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's contest versus the Cowboys.

    Covey appeared to injure his knee during the opening kickoff Monday, and Philadelphia will now have to finish the game without him. All of his snaps so far this season have come on special teams, and Elijah Moore and Dameon Pierce are the next men up in the return game for the Eagles.

  • Dolphins' Kevin Coleman: One target in win

    Coleman did not catch his only target in the Dolphins' 28-25 win over the Jets on Sunday.

    Coleman played 10 offensive snaps in Sunday's win. The fifth-round rookie participated in just 15 percent of the Dolphins' offensive plays, taking a backseat to third-round rookies Chris Bell and Caleb Douglas.

  • Chris Bell WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Chris Bell: Four targets in first win

    Bell caught three of his four targets for 25 yards in the Dolphins' 28-25 win over the Jets on Sunday.

    The third-round rookie played 31 offensive snaps and five special-teams snaps in the contest. Bell was in on 48 percent of the Dolphins' offensive plays and saw the second-most targets behind tight end Greg Dulcich (five).

  • Tank Dell WR | HOU

    Texans' Tank Dell: Highlight play in return to action

    Dell caught his only target for 43 yards and added a two-yard rush during Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.

    Dell made his return to action after missing nearly two full years while recovering from a dislocated kneecap and series of torn ligaments in his left knee. The wide receiver was only on the field for 11 offensive plays, but he made the most of his one target. Dell reeled in a deep ball from C.J. Stroud in the second quarter, churning out a 43-yard gain. With Nico Collins, Marvin Harrison, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel (toe) and Kayshon Boutte also in the mix at wide receiver, Dell may have a hard time getting many looks each week.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Hauls in both targets in Week 7 win

    Kupp caught both of his targets for 20 yards in a 20-3 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Kupp entered Sunday's contest on the heels of a 10-target performance against the Broncos in Week 6. However, the veteran wideout saw only two looks from Sam Darnold, with the veteran quarterback relying heavily on favorite target Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who finished with a 9-150-1 receiving line on 12 targets. Kupp has logged three targets or fewer in five of seven regular-season games, though he could see a slight bump in opportunities if Rashid Shaheed (knee) is unable to play against the Bears in Week 8.

  • Panthers' John Metchie: Has two catches in loss to Tampa Bay

    Metchie caught two passes for 20 yards during Sunday's 43-13 defeat versus the Buccaneers.

    Metchie caught three passes for the third time this season. While the 26-year-old could be on the field more if there are injuries within the receiving corps moving ahead, he still isn't anticipated to be a week-to-week fantasy producer.

  • Britain Covey WR | PHI

    Eagles' Britain Covey: Injures knee, questionable to return

    Covey (knee) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Cowboys.

    Covey appeared to sustain the injury on the game's opening kickoff, which he returned for 18 yards, and he's being monitored by medical staff to determine whether he can re-enter Monday's contest. Elijah Moore and Dameon Pierce will serve as the Eagles' returners on punts and kickoffs for as long as Covey is out of the game.

  • Tory Horton WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Tory Horton: Only one target against Kansas City

    Horton failed to haul in his lone target and returned two kickoffs for 60 yards during the Seahawks' 20-3 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Horton's 31 offensive snaps were third-most among Seahawks wide receivers behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba (53) and Cooper Kupp (45). 17 of Sam Darnold's 28 pass attempts went to Smith-Njigba (12) and tight end AJ Barner (five), with Horton and the rest of Seattle's pass catchers serving in complementary roles. The Seahawks' offense revolves around Smith-Njigba, so most of Horton's work will come on special teams, although the latter could see an uptick in opportunities if Rashid Shaheed (knee) cannot play against the Bears in Week 8.
