Cooks caught five of seven targets for only 21 yards in Sunday's 31-5 loss to the Cardinals.

Eighteen of those yards came on one grab, as the other four catches Cooks made all came close to the line of scrimmage and gave him little chance to make something happen. He did lead the Texans in targets while tying David Johnson for the lead in receptions, but his yardage total was a season low. Cooks will look to rebound in Week 8 against the Rams, and a bounce-back might be more likely to happen if Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) is able to return to the lineup and replace struggling rookie quarterback Davis Mills.

Edwards caught three of four targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Eagles.

While he didn't see much volume, the second-year receiver was on the receiving end of a one-yard strike from Derek Carr in the third quarter that gave the Raiders a 30-7 lead and gave Edwards his first TD of the year. He has only 18 catches on the season, but seven of them have gone for 20 yards or more, and Edwards will remain a big-play threat on the other side of the team's Week 8 bye.

Renfrow caught seven of eight targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Eagles.

The slot receiver led Las Vegas in catches and targets, although Foster Moreau topped him by two yards for the team lead in that category. Renfrow has been a rock-solid PPR option to begin the season, hauling in at least five passes in six of seven games heading into the Raiders' Week 8 bye.

Smith caught five of nine targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 33-22 loss to the Raiders.

The rookie wideout led the Eagles in receptions and targets, although Dallas Goedert hauled in more yardage. Smith has caught at least five passes in three of the last four games as he continues to build chemistry with Jalen Hurts, which will give him some intriguing upside in Week 8 against a Lions secondary that just got carved up by Cooper Kupp.

Anderson recorded three receptions on nine targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Giants.

Anderson finished second on the team in targets behind only DJ Moore, but he continued to struggle to produce with efficiency. He managed only 1.6 yards per target, and his longest reception went for five yards. Anderson has seen a minimum of seven targets in each of the last four weeks, yet he has failed to record more than 46 yards in any game.

Cole caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 54-13 loss to the Patriots.

Outside of a 92-yard performance in the Jets' Week 4 win over the Titans, Cole has just 74 receiving yards this season. Cole's depth role on one of the league's least effective offenses rarely translates to fantasy success.

Crowder caught four of six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 54-13 loss to the Patriots.

Crowder saw modest usage in a game that starting quarterback Zach Wilson left in the second quarter due to a knee injury. Whether it's Wilson or backup Mike White under center Week 8 against the Bengals, Crowder should maintain a significant role in New York's passing game, albeit as an underneath option rather than a downfield threat.

Moore caught one of six targets for 13 yards and added a 19-yard touchdown run in Sunday's 54-13 loss to New England.

Moore remained inefficient as a receiver but showcased his open-field ability on an end around to score the first touchdown of his career. Given Moore's struggles on the outside, it could behoove the Jets to give him more opportunities in the slot, where the rookie second-round pick excelled at Ole Miss. However, moving Moore to the slot would mean a reduced role for veteran slot receiver Jamison Crowder, so it remains to be seen whether New York opts for such a move Week 8 against the Bengals.

Davis caught four of six targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 54-13 loss to New England.

Davis' three-yard touchdown catch was thrown by Mike White, who replaced Zach Wilson (knee) under center in the second quarter. While Davis is almost assured decent volume on a weekly basis as the Jets' top option on the outside, White's reluctance to push the ball downfield in this one suggests Davis' production could take a hit if Wilson remains sidelined Week 8 against the Bengals and beyond.

Slayton recorded five receptions on nine targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Panthers.

Slayton led the team in both targets and receiving yards in the absence of Kadarius Toney (ankle), Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Kenny Golladay (knee). Given the game script, the Giants didn't need to push the ball much through the air, which in turn limited the potential for him to turn in a big game. Nevertheless, he recorded four receptions of 15 or more yards to serve as the team's primary threat down the field. Slayton's potential to produce moving forward likely depends on the rest of the Giants' receiving corps heading into a Week 8 matchup against Kansas City.
