Woods caught five of seven targets for 80 receiving yards and added a six-yard rush during Sunday's 37-10 win against the Falcons.

Last week against San Francisco's No. 1 pass defense, Woods was held without a catch for the first time since the start of the 2018 season. In Week 7, however, he faced a Falcons defense that entered the weekend conceding greater than 270 yards per game through the air, and he cashed in with his second-highest receiving output of the year. Woods has a strong chance to continue providing value in Week 8, taking on a Bengals defense that gave up 27 points and more than 470 yards of total offense to Jacksonville on Sunday.

Diggs caught seven of eight targets for 142 yards during Sunday's 42-30 win over the Lions.

Diggs led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards on the day, with a large chunk of his production coming on a 66-yard grab that set up a touchdown in the fourth quarter. He stepped up as a go-to option after Adam Thielen exited the contest early with a hamstring injury and exceeded 100 receiving yards for the third time in four games. Diggs makes for a fine fantasy option heading into Thursday's home matchup against the Redskins, and his stock could rise further if Thielen is forced to miss the contest.

Hopkins caught nine of 12 targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Colts.

Hopkins looked like he had a second-quarter touchdown, but the play was called back because Deshaun Watson was in the grasp of a defender before he threw the ball. He indisputably scored from four yards out in the fourth quarter for his first touchdown since Week 1, and this was also the first time Hopkins topped the 100-yard mark since then. The buy-low window on the elite wide receiver may have closed with this effort, and he'll look to build on this performance against the Raiders in Week 8.

Brown (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

With Brown inactive after missing practice all week, Willie Snead, Miles Boykin, Seth Roberts and Chris Moore are slated to head the Ravens' Week 7 wideout corps.

Thielen has been ruled out of Sunday's contest in Detroit due to a hamstring injury, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Thielen's only contribution occurred on his 25-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Aside from Stefon Diggs, the Vikings will rely on rookie Bisi Johnson and Laquon Treadwell to man wide receiver.

Goodwin (head) returned to Sunday's game in Washington, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

After getting tested for a potential head injury, Goodwin is available to the 49ers in wet and rainy conditions. No matter, he'll look to produce against the Redskins' 20th-ranked passing attack (251 yards per game) entering Week 7.

Thielen injured his hamstring during Sunday's game at Detroit.

Thielen made a spectacular grab at the back of the end zone for the Vikings' first score of the game, but he stayed on the ground for a spell before going to the sideline. After a visit to the medical tent, he was seen favoring his right leg, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. Thielen was deemed questionable to return, leaving the team with just Stefon Diggs, Bisi Johnson and Laquon Treadwell at wide receiver for the time being.

Goodwin left Sunday's game at Washington to be evaluated for a head injury, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Before his first-quarter departure, Goodwin was unable to make an impact in the box score on his only target. Richie James projects to get more snaps at outside receiver as long as Goodwin is sidelined.

Lazard was working with the Packers' first-team offense during pregame warmups and is expected to retain a role in the team's passing game Sunday against the Raiders, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports.

After Davante Adams (toe) was ruled out and both Marquez Valdes-Scantling (knee/ankle) and Geronimo Allison (concussion/chest) were listed as questionable heading into Sunday, Lazard had a real chance at serving as Aaron Rodgers' top target in Week 7. Lazard's outlook dampened after Valdes-Scantling and Allison were ultimately cleared to play, but there should be enough snaps to go around for all three wideouts. The fact that Valdes-Scantling in particular may be impacted by the lower-body issues could prompt Rodgers to lean more heavily on Lazard, who hauled in four of five targets for 65 yards and a touchdown across only 17 offensive snaps in the Week 6 win over Detroit.

Slayton will start alongside Golden Tate at wide receiver in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

The rookie will crack the lineup for the second straight contest with Sterling Shepard inactive again after having yet to clear the concussion protocol. In the Giants' 35-14 loss to the Patriots in Week 6, Slayton was on the field for all but one of New York's offensive snaps, finishing with three catches for 32 yards on eight targets.
