Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Nabs KC's lone receiving TD
Hill hauled in six of his 10 targets for 55 receiving yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 43-16 win against the Broncos.
This outing was not one of Hill's 20-yards-per-catch performances, though he was the Chiefs' most impactful pass-catcher during Week 7. Not only did Hill corral Patrick Mahomes' only TD pass of the contest, but he also dominated the pass-catching workload with six more targets than any other player on the team. Hill had double the catches of the Chiefs' second-leading option, an encouraging development after he managed six combined receptions over his preceding two appearances against the Raiders and Bills. He'll next face a Jets defense that surrendered 17 combined receptions and 160 yards to Buffalo's Cole Beasley and Stefon Diggs on Sunday.

Brandin Cooks WR | SF
Texans' Brandin Cooks: Commands nine targets
Cooks recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 60 yards in Week 7 against the Packers.
Cooks finished second on the team in both targets and receptions behind Randall Cobb. After recording 21 targets through his first four games in Houston, Cooks has commanded 30 targets in his past three contests and put together a combined line of 24 receptions for 289 yards and two touchdowns. While Will Fuller will likely still be the most productive Texans wideout going forward, Cooks has clearly gained a significant role in the offense. He and the team will be on a Week 8 bye but draw a positive matchup against the Jaguars in Week 9.

Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Leads team in receiving yards
Meyers caught four of six targets for 60 yards and carried one time for two yards during Sunday's 33-6 loss to the 49ers.
Meyers hadn't seen action in over a month coming in, but he found a way to lead the team in all major receiving categories despite Cam Newton finishing with under 100 passing yards on the day. Newton was ultimately benched in favor of Jarrett Stidham after his third turnover, and Meyers managed to snare a pass from him as well. Given the team's struggles under center and Meyers' inactivity for much of the season, he won't take a great deal of fantasy appeal into next Sunday's meeting with the Bills.

Brandon Aiyuk WR | SF
49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Records career-high yardage total
Aiyuk caught six of seven targets for 115 yards during Sunday's 33-6 win over the Patriots.
Aiyuk led the team in targets and receptions while posting the highest yardage total of his young career. He broke off a season-long gain of 35 yards and made several other splashy plays against a notoriously tough Patriots secondary. Aiyuk's production has varied from week to week this season, but it's clear he has the ability to be a difference-maker in the 49ers offense . He'll have a good chance to add to his numbers next Sunday against a beatable Seattle secondary.

Mike Evans WR | SF
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Struggles in Week 7 win
Evans secured both of his targets for 37 yards in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
By the end of the practice week, Evans had shed the injury designation he'd been carrying due to an ankle issue, but he isn't 100 percent by all accounts and continued to struggle getting open in Sunday's victory. Evans' target count lagged significantly behind that of fellow wideouts Chris Godwin and Scotty Miller, who logged nine looks apiece. The multi-time Pro Bowler has a combined 3-47 line over the past two games on four total targets, and he's also interspersed a pair of two-yard tallies among a couple of 100-yard efforts thus far this season. The impending arrival of Antonio Brown (suspension), who's slated to make his debut Week 9, now looms large over the fantasy fortunes of other members of the Buccaneers pass-catching corps. With Evans already trending in the wrong direction, he'll be a player to particularly monitor in a Week 8 Monday night battle against the Giants.

Corey Davis WR | NYJ
Titans' Corey Davis: Scores in return from illness
Davis recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the Steelers.
Davis was active for his first game since Week 3 against Minnesota after landing on the COVID-19 list. He continued to see a consistent number of targets and now has a total of 29 across four contests. Though he didn't work very efficiently -- he averaged only 3.5 yards per target -- Davis made up for it with a four-yard touchdown catch midway through the second quarter. In Week 8, Davis and the Titans will draw a matchup against the Bengals.

Scott Miller WR | CHI
Buccaneers' Scotty Miller: Eclipses century mark in win
Miller brought in six of nine targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
The second-year speedster's wheels were on display Sunday on a 33-yard scoring grab down the left sideline just before halftime, and he finished with a team-leading receiving yardage tally overall. Miller also logged his highest target count of the season, and he's posted at least 83 receiving yards in three of his past four games. However, the impending arrival of Antonio Brown (suspension) has the potential to eventually make Miller a much more speculative week-to-week fantasy play, considering the former is adept at many of the downfield routes the Bowling Green product currently handles in coach Bruce Arians' offense.

Nelson Agholor WR | BAL
Raiders' Nelson Agholor: Another long TD in loss
Agholor hauled in five of nine targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 45-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Agholor provided an immediate spark for the Raiders with a 20-yard scoring grab early in the first quarter, and he finished with a team-high receiving yardage total. The veteran also shared the team lead in targets with Darren Waller, as the chemistry between Agholor and Derek Carr continued to blossom in impressive fashion. The performance marked the 27-year-old's first 100-yard effort of the season, but he's now gotten into the end zone in three straight games and four of the six contests he's suited up for overall. While the eventual return of rookie Bryan Edwards (ankle/foot) could certainly impact Agholor's involvement to a degree, the latter has seemingly made enough of a case for himself to still see a solid level of involvement in that scenario.

Braxton Berrios WR | NYG
Jets' Braxton Berrios: Four catches in slot role
Berrios caught four of seven targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Bills.
Berrios tied with Denzel Mims for the team lead in catches and targets while finishing seven receiving yards behind Mims' team-high total. The highlight of Berrios' night was a 22-yard catch to convert a 3rd-and-20 late in the first quarter, but that ended up being New York's longest play of the day as quarterback Sam Darnold threw for just 120 yards. Berrios has played well in the slot when Jamison Crowder (groin) has missed time this season, and he'll continue to fill in if Crowder doesn't heal up in time to face the Chiefs in Week 8.
