Lemon brought in seven of eight targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 38-21 loss to the Cowboys on Monday night.

Lemon operated as the Eagles' de facto No. 1 receiver on a night where both DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) were sidelined, and the rookie met the moment by posting career- and team-high figures across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Lemon rounded out his solid performance by recording his first NFL touchdown catch on a four-yard scoring grab with just under six minutes remaining in the third quarter. Lemon could have another opportunity to spearhead the air attack in a Week 8 road matchup against the Commanders on Sunday night, as both Smith and Wicks may be hard-pressed to get healthy enough to suit up for that contest.

Pickens brought in four of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 38-21 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Pickens tied for second in receptions and finished third in receiving yards on the night for the Cowboys, and the athletic receiver added his second touchdown of the season on a highly difficult catch in the right corner of the end zone with just under six minutes remaining in the second quarter. Both of Pickens' scoring grabs this season have come in the last three games, and he's now boasting a 37-485-2 line on 58 targets as a Week 8 home matchup against the Cardinals approaches this Sunday.

Lamb brought in five of 12 targets for 74 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' 38-21 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Lamb led the Cowboys across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and he added his fifth and sixth touchdowns of the season on nine- and 16-yard scoring grabs. The veteran star has 70 or more receiving yards in two straight and five of his last six contests overall, and his average of 11.6 targets per game gives Lamb an elite floor heading into a Week 8 home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Patrick did not garner a target during Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Patrick was on the field for just six offensive snaps in Week 7, and he went without a catch for the first time in three games so far this year. With Garrett Wilson, Omar Cooper and Adonai Mitchell all available at wide receiver, it appears like Patrick doesn't have much of a role on offense at the moment.

Meyers failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Ravens.

With Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both fully healthy, Meyers played just 20 of 53 offensive snaps and ran 16 routes on Joe Burrow's 32 dropbacks. Outside of his 7-82-0 receiving performance in Week 4 against the Jaguars, Meyers has totaled six catches for 59 yards in the other five games.

Armstrong caught one of two targets for three yards during Sunday night's 20-3 loss to Seattle.

Armstrong was signed to the active roster ahead of Week 7, and he was on the field for 56 percent of the team's offensive snaps. With Rashee Rice (hamstring) still banged up, it's possible that Armstrong operates in a similar role in Week 8 versus Denver.

Hurst didn't record a catch on one target in Sunday's 43-13 win over the Panthers.

With Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) inactive, Hurst was expected to take on an expanded offensive role, but it was actually Tez Johnson who saw the bigger bump in playing time. Johnson played 41 snaps to Hurst's 35 and ran one more route (12) than the rookie wide receiver. The Bucs clobbered the Panthers, and Baker Mayfield was forced to drop back to pass just 12 times on the afternoon.

Melton caught one of his two targets for four yards and logged a 24-yard kick return in the Packers' 20-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Melton played 13 offensive snaps and 14 special-teams snaps in the contest. The No. 4 wide receiver remains a versatile depth option for the Packers, filling in wherever he is needed without garnering much attention.

Whittington wasn't targeted in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Raiders.

Even with Davante Adams (hamstring) inactive, Whittington played just 15 of 72 offensive snaps and ran only two routes on Matthew Stafford's 32 dropbacks. He's nothing more than a special-teamer and blocker when he does play offensive snaps. Whittington is lightyears from fantasy relevance.

Atwell wasn't targeted in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Raiders.

With Davante Adams (hamstring) out, Atwell was active and played 25 offensive snaps. He ran 20 routes on Matthew Stafford's 32 dropbacks, tying Konata Mumpfield for second on the team behind Puka Nacua's 31, but Atwell was just doing cardio out there. He's not a reliable fantasy target, even with Adams injured.
