Humphries caught three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Packers.

The veteran slot receiver is now averaging 2.6 catches for 26.4 yards on 3.7 targets per game, playing 53-to-70 percent of offensive snaps in each contest. His role hasn't really grown or shrunk while Washington has dealt with WR injuries around him, with Humphries consistently operating as the slot guy for three-wide formations. He'll fill the same role Week 8 at Denver in a matchup between teams with arguably the two most disappointing defenses in the league.

Milne caught two of four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Packers.

The rookie seventh-round pick played 40 percent of offensive snaps, splitting time with DeAndre Carter (54 percent) after Dyami Brown left with a knee injury in the first half. It was the third straight game in which Milne got double-digit snaps and at least one target, but he's still no higher than sixth or seventh on the depth chart if Washington can ever get its wideout group healthy. With Curtis Samuel (groin) and Cam Sims (hamstring) already absent, the team was missing three of its top five WRs by the end of Sunday's loss. Milne's role for Week 8 at Denver largely depends on the health of those ahead of him.

Collins caught two of five targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 31-5 loss to Arizona.

Houston quarterback Davis Mills averaged just 4.2 yards-per-attempt, so it was not a banner day for the receiving crew. Collins' 28 yards led all wideouts, which indicates the current state of Houston's offense; the Texans have been outscored 62-8 the last two weeks. During that time, Collins has emerged as the No. 2 wideout. He's been targeted 11 times while playing 60 percent of the snaps the last two weeks, second only to Brandin Cooks among Houston's wide receivers. Unfortunately, the rookie Mills is undergoing a steep learning curve in real time, and NFL defenses are taking advantage. The Texans may get Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) back this week. His return could benefit all concerned skill-position players.

Reynolds recorded three receptions on three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Chiefs.

Reynolds has had an inconsistent start to his tenure with the Titans, though he now has multiple receptions in two of his last three games. He benefited from the absence of Chester Rogers (groin) and worked primarily in short areas of the field, with his longest reception of the day going for 11 yards. Reynolds may work behind Rogers when he can return, but Reynolds appears to have moved ahead of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Marcus Johnson for the time being.

Pittman hauled in all four of his targets for 105 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-18 win over the 49ers.

Pittman resumed his role as the Colts' top outside threat with T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) sitting this one out. The 24-year-old took advantage of the opportunity, recording his second 100-plus yard game of the season as well as his second trip to the end zone. Pittman has been the team's most-consistent wideout and fantasy producer at the position, but fantasy managers need to monitor Hilton's status for next week's matchup against the Titans, as Pittman took a backseat (two catches for 35 yards) to the veteran in the lone game they played in together Week 6.

Samuel had seven receptions (11 targets) for 100 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Colts.

Samuel did not record a rushing attempt for the first time since Week 1, and he also lost a fumble in the heavy rain at Levi's Stadium. That's where the bad news ends, as the dynamic wideout posted his third 100-yard game with a score through six contests this year. The 49ers offense looked lost for extended periods Sunday, but Samuel is proving to be an asset that can produce regardless of the situation surrounding him. The third-year wideout is about as must-start as they come for next week's tilt against the Bears.

Kirk caught four of five targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-5 win over the Texans.

The fourth-year receiver remains on pace for a career year despite the embarrassment of riches on the Arizona roster available for Kyler Murray to throw to. The 24-year-old is taking aim at 70 catches, 1,000 yards and 10 TDs, numbers he's never reached before, and even with Zach Ertz slotting in for Maxx Williams (knee) alongside DeAndre Hopkins and A.J. Green, Kirk should continue to make an impact for the Cardinals. He'll look to find the end zone for the third game in a row in Week 8 against the Packers.

Pringle recorded five receptions on six targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Titans.

Pringle saw only six targets compared to 12 for Travis Kelce and nine for Tyreek Hill. Even so, he led the team in receiving yards, which was also a new season high. Pringle chipped in a number of explosive plays, including receptions of 25, 23 and 12 yards. Despite the strong performance, Pringle has managed three or fewer targets in six of seven games this season, so his production moving forward is likely to be inconsistent at best.

Hopkins caught seven of nine targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-5 win over the Texans.

While he led the Cards in catches, setting a new season high in that category in the process, Hopkins was only third on the team in yardage. He still hauled in his seventh TD of the season in the second quarter, however -- more than he scored all of last year. Hopkins will look to keep rolling in a Week 8 clash with the Packers.

Pettis recorded five receptions on five targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Panthers.

Pettis was elevated from the practice squad for the second consecutive week and has delivered five receptions on each occasion. In Sunday's victory, Pettis recorded a five-yard touchdown reception late in the third quarter to put the Giants up 15-3. He also tallied a long reception of 27 yards, which helped set up a 49-yard field goal during the team's first drive of the second quarter. It's unclear what role Pettis may be able to maintain once the Giants' receiving corps gets healthier, though Pettis has made the most of his current opportunity.
