Moore recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Giants.

Moore accounted for 73 of the Panthers' 144 yards through the air Sunday, but he couldn't post a better line due to the poor play of Sam Darnold. He recorded receptions of 21, 19 and 12 yards to pick up most of his yardage and has now logged a catch of at least 20 yards in six of seven contests. Moore has also had consistent volume and racked up double-digit targets in five games this season while falling below 70 yards in a matchup only once.

Arcega-Whiteside (back) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Raiders.

Arcega-Whiteside appeared to suffer the injury while recording a tackle on punt coverage in the third quarter of Sunday's contest. The 24-year-old wideout hasn't been a part of the Eagles' offensive game plan this season, so his absence shouldn't affect their rotations.

Gage (ankle) brought in four of six targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 30-28 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Gage made a splashy return from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, sharing runner-up status in receptions and coming in second in receiving yardage on the day for the Falcons. Gage also found the end zone for the first time this season on a 49-yard scoring grab that appeared to unfold due to a blown coverage early in the third quarter. Now apparently back to full health, Gage will look to continue serving as a dependable No. 2 receiving option for Matt Ryan in a Week 8 divisional home matchup against the Panthers.

Bateman caught three of six targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Bengals.

Bateman tied Marquise Brown for the team lead in receiving yards, though Brown found the end zone and drew 14 targets to Bateman's six. Brown and tight end Mark Andrews remain the top two options in Baltimore's passing attack, but Bateman has established himself as the next man in the pecking order just two games into his NFL career. Baltimore's Week 8 bye will give the rookie first-round pick an opportunity to familiarize himself further with the offense.

Ridley secured four of 10 targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 30-28 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Ridley and Matt Ryan couldn't link up consistently, but the veteran wideout, coming off a one-game absence for personal reasons, was able to salvage his fantasy day to an extent with a five-yard scoring grab in the second quarter. Ridley's target total was his fourth straight of the double-digit variety, further cementing him as a rock-solid fantasy option, particularly in PPR formats, on a week-to-week basis. Ridley will look to raise his efficiency in a Week 8 divisional home matchup against the reeling Panthers.

Waddle brought in seven of eight targets for 83 yards in the Dolphins' 30-28 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

The rookie shared the team lead in receptions and targets with Mike Gesicki and checked in second to his teammate in receiving yards with a tally that qualified as Waddle's career high. The Alabama product now has a whopping 17 receptions on 21 targets over the last two games alone, making him a PPR darling despite typically recording many of his receptions relatively close to the line of scrimmage. Waddle will look to continue piling up the production in a thorny Week 8 road divisional battle against the Bills.

McLaurin notched seven receptions on 12 targets for 122 yards and one touchdown against Green Bay on Sunday.

McLaurin had his hamstring injury designation removed Friday, and if his production against the Packers is any indication, the issue really was a thing of the past. McLaurin produced 45.5 percent of Washington's receiving yardage on the day on just over 32 percent of the targets. By now McLaurin is a proven, time-tested candidate to carry a disproportionately large share of the Washington passing game even while drastically outplaying the efficiency levels of his teammates. Washington heads to Denver on Sunday for their Week 8 matchup, and the Broncos better hope they have their secondary in order by then.

Brown caught five of 14 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-17 loss to Cincinnati.

After a quiet first half, Brown broke free for a go-ahead 39-yard touchdown early in the third quarter, doing well to stay inbounds. It was all Bengals after that, though it was encouraging to see Lamar Jackson pepper Brown with targets once the Ravens were forced to turn to the air. The fleet-footed wideout has 37 catches for 566 yards and six touchdowns heading into Baltimore's Week 8 bye in what has been a breakout season for Brown.

Lazard caught five passes on six targets for 60 yards and one touchdown against Washington on Sunday.

sIt's generally been a quiet 2021 season for Lazard, but the six targets here nearly matched Davante Adams' team-leading seven, and Lazard was almost automatic with that usage. It's also his second straight game with a touchdown. The problem for Lazard is that Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) might be back soon, and it might become more difficult for Lazard to draw targets consistently at that point. The Packers head to Arizona on Thursday for their Week 8 matchup.

Hill recorded six receptions on nine targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Titans.

Hill saw plenty of volume, though his three-game stretch of double-digit targets came to an end. He was limited to only two gains of more than 10 yards, one of which came from Chad Henne late in the game after Patrick Mahomes was forced to exit with a head injury. Hill continues to play through a quadriceps issue that may be limiting his explosiveness, as over his last three games he has failed to record a catch of more than 20 yards.
