Valdes-Scantling did not catch a pass in Sunday's 35-20 victory over the Texans but did have one carry for nine yards.

Valdes-Scantling played by far the second-most snaps among Packers wideouts and was targeted four times, but he ultimately only ended up with the lone touch on the ground. He should continue seeing the field plenty until Allen Lazard (abdomen) returns, and his next matchup will come against a Vikings team he recorded 96 yards and a score against Week 1. However, with just 91 yards from scrimmage over his last four games, it's tough to trust Valdes-Scantling in fantasy lineups right now.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that he expects Hodge (hamstring) to return this Sunday against the Raiders, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Hodge has missed the past four games due to a hamstring injury, but he's in line to start practicing this week, which would open a 21-day window for him to return from IR. This would be a timely return for the Browns, as they lost star receiver Odell Beckham (torn ACL) for the season during this past Sunday's win over the Bengals. Upon his return to action, Hodge could handle a decent workload immediately, although rookie Donovan Peoples-Jones looks like the favorite to snag the No. 3 role moving forward. Hodge produced three receptions for 51 yards over the first three games this year.

Johnson secured both his targets for four yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

The rookie is starting to demonstrate a knack for making excellent use of his relatively sparse opportunities, as he now has a pair of touchdown grabs on a combined three receptions over the last two games. On Sunday, Johnson found the end zone from a yard out with 3:08 remaining to put an exclamation point on the lopsided win for the Buccaneers. While his recent fantasy production is encouraging to an extent, the outlook for Johnson isn't too bright moving forward, considering Antonio Brown's on-field debut in what will likely be Week 9 is poised to have the domino effect of bumping everyone on the latter portion of the receiver depth chart down a notch.

Moore caught all three targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Cardinals. He also added a four-yard carry.

It was the Tyler Lockett show for Seattle, as the star receiver caught 15 passes for 200 yards and three scores, but Moore made some key plays to keep drives alive. Each pass Moore caught went for a first down, including a third-down conversion in the fourth quarter that set up a Lockett touchdown just a few plays later. Moore's not a weekly play in redraft fantasy formats, but he has big-play ability and remains a tournament DFS play.

Renfrow caught four of six targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 45-20 loss to the Buccaneers.

Renfrow was back on quarterback Derek Carr's radar following the team's bye, having been targeted just once in Week 5 at Kansas City. The Clemson product will now face a Browns secondary that just gave up over 400 passing yards in a close win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Peoples-Jones should serve as the No. 3 wide receiver moving forward following news that Odell Beckham (torn ACL) is out for the season, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Beckham left on the first drive of the game, so Peoples-Jones received his first real opportunity as a receiver afterwards. The rookie capitalized, reeling in all three of his targets for 56 yards and a game-winning touchdown. The increased volume should continue, as he's expected to slot in as the No. 3 wideout behind Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins. The upcoming Week 8 matchup against the Raiders is favorable too, as Las Vegas has allowed the fifth-most passing yards per game (283.3) this year.

Guyton caught two of three targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-29 win over the Jaguars.

The second-year receiver has yet to see more than three targets in any game this season, but Guyton made his low volume count Sunday as he hauled in a pass down the sideline from Justin Herbert and turned it into a 70-yard score late in the third quarter, marking his third TD of the year. Guyton's role isn't likely to change any time soon, but he'll remain a deep threat and a DFS dart throw for Week 8's road game against the Broncos.

Beckham (knee) informed Josina Anderson of ESPN on Monday that he has suffered a season-ending ACL tear in his left knee.

Beckham sustained the season-ending injury during Sunday's 37-34 win over the Bengals while attempting to chase down cornerback Darius Phillips after Baker Mayfield threw an interception on his first pass of the game. The Browns will doubtless place the star wideout on injured reserve in the near future as he sets his sights on making a recovery for 2021. With Beckham out, Rashard Higgins and Donovan Peoples-Jones, both of whom impressed during Sunday's divisional win, will be in line for added offensive reps alongside Jarvis Landry. The 27-year-old Beckham's 2020 campaign comes to an end with 23 catches for 319 yards and four touchdowns (three receiving, one rushing) in seven appearances, plus three carries for 72 yards.

The Eagles designated Reagor (thumb) for return from injured reserve Monday.

Reagor will be eligible to resume practicing without counting against the 53-man roster Monday, kicking off a 21-day window for evaluation. The Eagles can officially add him to the active roster at any time during that span, so the rookie first-round pick could be trending toward availability for Sunday night's upcoming contest against the Cowboys. Reagor has missed the last five games while recovering from a UCL tear in his thumb.

Conley caught one of two targets for a 28-yard touchdown in Sunday's 39-29 loss to the Chargers.

The veteran receiver's first touchdown of the season gave the Jaguars their last lead of the afternoon late in the third quarter, as the Bolts went on to score the game's final 17 points. It's the second straight game in which Conley has caught only one pass, and he's seen just 10 targets from Gardner Minshew over the last four contests as the Jags' No. 4 wideout. Jacksonville could shake up its passing game during its Week 8 bye, however, as Minshew's job security is shaky following six straight losses.
