Gallup caught three of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's win over the Eagles.

Amari Cooper was the preferred big-play threat for Dak Prescott in this one, and Gallup's longest catch went for only 14 yards. The second-year receiver has shown he can be explosive this season with two 100-yard performances in five games, and he'll be in a good spot for another one against the Giants in Week 9 following the Cowboys' bye.

Humphries hauled in all four of his targets for 40 yards in Week 7 against the Chargers.

Humphries' inconsistent role in the offense continued, as he played under 50 percent of the snaps for the third time this season. Rookie wideout A.J. Brown also emerged for a career-best six catches, helping lead to Humphries' down performance. While Ryan Tannehill energized the Titans' passing attack to a degree, Humphries is unlikely to gain a consistent role with the potential emergence of Brown as well the team's desire to keep two tight ends on the field.

Brown hauled in six of his eight targets for 64 yards in Week 7 against the Chargers.

Brown led the team with a career-high eight targets and also doubled his previous best effort with six receptions. Most of his opportunities came on two separate drives, the first coming just before halftime when he hauled in passes of 16, 15 and 11 yards. With the Titans looking to sustain a drive to close the game out in the fourth quarter, Tannehill once again turned to Brown as he logged catches of five, 11 and six yards. Unlike previous performances in which Brown was reliant upon big plays for production, he saw increased volume Sunday, giving hope that this was a true breakthrough performance. Brown will look to keep this expanded role in Week 8 against the Buccaneers.

Cooper (quadriceps/ankle) caught all five of his targets for 106 yards in Sunday's 37-10 win over the Eagles.

Cooper was held out of team activities until late in the week while nursing two separate lower-body injuries, but he was able to heal up in time for an important primetime matchup against a divisional foe. Dallas was in control of the contest from start to finish, so the 25-year-old had to make due with just five targets (tied for the lowest mark in a full game this season). Cooper maximized those targets, reaching the century mark for the third time this season. The star wideout's fantasy owners were not only rewarded with an unlikely start and strong stat line, but the Cowboys' upcoming bye week will give the receiver plenty of time to fully heal up before a soft matchup against the Giants on Monday Night Football in Week 9.

Davis hauled in six of his seven targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the Chargers.

Davis posted season-best marks in both targets and receptions in Ryan Tannehill's first start under center. His day was highlighted by two plays, the first of which was an eight-yard touchdown reception late in the first half. He also played a key role in the team's game-winning drive, hauling in a 38-yard pass. Given the immediate rapport that Davis showed with Tannehill, it's possible the promising wideout will be more consistent in his production as the season wears on. He'll have a strong chance to build on this breakout performance as he faces a weak Buccaneers pass defense in Week 8.

Coutee caught three of five targets for 25 yards and rushed for a four-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 loss to Indianapolis in Week 7.

With Kenny Stills returning from a two-week absence due to a hamstring injury, Coutee was headed back to fourth on the depth chart, but he benefited from Will Fuller's hamstring injury on the first series of the game. Coutee primarily plays the slot, so he's not a direct 1-for-1 replacement for Fuller. That role goes to Kenny Stills whenever Fuller is injured. The touchdown was Coutee's first of the season.

Robinson reeled in three of his five targets for 31 yards Thursday against the Broncos.

Robinson's snap count remained relatively steady Thursday with Sammy Watkins (hamstring) still sidelined, but he did see a slight dip with Tyreek Hill returning to a full workload. That snap percentage could shrink again next week if Watkins is cleared to rejoin the action.

Metcalf caught four of nine targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Ravens. He also lost a fumble.

Metcalf's afternoon was highlighted by an impressive 37-yard reception in the first half, but most will only remember his hiccup. With the Seahawks down two possessions, Metcalf caught a ball at the line of scrimmage but fumbled it without any contact. Marlon Humphrey returned the loose ball 18 yards for a touchdown to put the Ravens up 30-13 with 3:37 remaining in the fourth quarter. It was still a promising day for the rookie, though, as Metcalf led the team in targets, including two in the red zone. He'll look to bounce back during a favorable matchup against the Falcons in Week 8.

Lockett caught five of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Ravens.

On a broken play in the second quarter, Lockett appeared to wear out Marlon Humphrey before making a diving grab for the Seahawks' first and only touchdown of the game. With Russell Wilson's previous red-zone favorite Will Dissly (Achilles) out for the season, it's a good sign that Lockett is stepping up deep in enemy territory. Lockett will look to carry the momentum into Week 8's game against the Falcons, although Lockett hasn't scored in three road games this year despite finding paydirt in all four home contests.

Allen caught four of his 11 targets for 61 yards in Week 7 against Tennessee.

The Chargers clearly wanted to emphasize Allen in their gameplan, as he was targeted four times in their first two drives. The end result was 11 targets, Allen's highest total since Week 3. However, he wasn't particularly efficient and now has five or fewer catches in his last four games. Allen will look get back on track and turn his looks into more production in Week 8 against the Bears.
