Lazard was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

After teammate Davante Adams was placed on the COVID-19 list following a positive test, Lazard was one of several Green Bay pass catchers who appeared poised to take on a greater role with the team's top target on track to miss Thursday's game in Arizona. Instead, Lazard now looks set to miss the Week 8 contest along with Adams, leaving Randall Cobb, Equanimeous St. Brown and Amari Rodgers as the lone receivers on the active roster. Even if Lazard is vaccinated or is merely being placed on the list as a close contact, he'll face an uphill battle to clear all COVID-19 health and safety protocols ahead of Thursday's 8:20 p.m. EDT kickoff.

Hopkins (hamstring) wasn't spotted on the practice field Tuesday during the portion open to the media, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.

The official practice report should provide a better indication of Hopkins' overall participation Tuesday, but he was a non-participant Monday and may be headed for another DNP if the open media portion is any indication. The star wideout's injury is ill-timed given a recent hot stretch that has seen him notch four touchdowns in the last three games, and a season-high seven catches versus the Texans last week. Hopkins has one more chance to upgrade his practice participation Wednesday ahead of a Thursday contest versus the Packers.

Robinson reeled in just one of his four targets for seven yards Sunday versus the Titans.

Despite playing a season-high 79 percent of the offensive snaps Sunday, Robinson garnered a measly seven yards. His four targets match his second-best total of the season, but Robinson hasn't finished with more than 46 receiving yards in a game and is primarily viewed as a solid blocker in the run game. There's little to like here from a fantasy perspective.

Hardman reeled in four of his five targets for 28 yards Sunday against the Titans.

After a promising 12-target showing against the Bills in Week 5, Hardman has just a combined 10 targets over the last two weeks, falling in line with most of the rest of 2021. He still doesn't produce consistently enough to warrant fantasy consideration in many formats, and it's beginning to look like the anticipated breakout may never come.

Duvernay caught his lone target for 11 yards and added a rush that lost two yards Sunday against the Bengals.

Marquise Brown (63) and Rashod Bateman (46) paced the Baltimore receivers in snaps while Duvernay hovered around 30 snaps for the sixth time this season. Duvernay saw just one target, his lowest mark since Week 2. His primary impact right now is in the return game. Baltimore is on a bye, and Sammy Watkins (hamstring) could return thereafter, which complicates Duvernay's offensive playing time path even further.

Kinsey reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transactions report.

Kinsey was elevated from Tennessee's practice squad in time to suit up for Week 7's blowout win over the Chiefs. In that contest, Kinsey handled three offensive snaps without a target. He also played two snaps on special teams and logged one fair catch.

Hollins caught two of three catches for 13 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Falcons.

Hollins played 51 percent of offensive snaps with DeVante Parker (shoulder) and Will Fuller (finger) both still sidelined, and he translated that opportunity into his first touchdown of the year and the third of his NFL career. It's possible that Miami's receiving corps could still be missing Parker and Fuller for Week 8's road game against the Bills, but even in that case, Hollins can't be considered a reliable enough fantasy asset to warrant consideration in any but the deepest of formats.

Peoples-Jones (groin) did not practice Monday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Peoples-Jones was on the active roster for Week 7 but did not play after injuring the groin during pregame warmups. It's natural for the Browns to ease him into the preparation week for this Sunday's game against the Steelers, and the team should learn more about the receiver's status in the coming days.

Watkins caught two of his four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 33-22 loss to Las Vegas.

Watkins didn't see a target until midway through the third quarter with the Eagles trailing by 23. He kept his streak of at least two catches in every game this season intact. Unfortunately, the 23-year-old has only topped 50 yards once this year, and that was back in Week 2.

Reagor caught both of his targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-22 loss to Las Vegas. He also had one rushing attempt for no gain.

Reagor saw his lowest target total over the last three weeks, and none of them came until garbage time. Fortunately, one of his chances came in the red zone, and he converted it into a score. The TCU product is still an afterthought in an average offense, however.
