Watson notched five catches (on eight targets) for 57 yards and no touchdowns during Sunday's 20-17 defeat at Detroit.

Watson's team-high 28-yard catch in the second quarter got the Packers into the red zone for the third time in Week 7, but after a Jordan Love to Tucker Kraft TD connection on the team's second possession, Green Bay otherwise failed to score on three of four trips to premium territory. Watson himself paced the team in receiving yards Sunday, but he also wasn't able to score a TD for the third time in the last four games, leaving him sitting on six scores in seven appearances. He and his teammates have a quick turnaround with a Thursday night matchup with the Panthers on tap in Week 8.

Wilson caught four of eight targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos. He also rushed twice for 11 yards.

Wilson finished second on the team behind Trey McBride in catches, receiving yards and targets. The fourth-year wideout has drawn at least seven targets in every game this season, but Wilson has exceeded 56 receiving yards only twice in seven tries. Wilson hasn't stepped up since the Cardinals traded away Marvin Harrison, but the upcoming Week 8 matchup with Dallas' beatable secondary creates a potential breakout opportunity for Arizona's No. 1 wide receiver.

Nacua brought in eight of 10 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for 10 yards in the Rams' 35-21 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Nacua led the Rams in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, playing through his calf injury without issue while also helping make up for the absence of Davante Adams (IR, hamstring). Nacua rounded out his busy day with his second touchdown catch of the season, which came from 11 yards out with just over four minutes remaining in the second quarter. Nacua figures to be even more involved than usual while Adams is sidelined, and he'll take a 45-485-2 line into a Week 8 home matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

Watkins brought in three of six targets for 56 yards in the 49ers' 29-20 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

With the 49ers' receiving corps down all of Mike Evans (Achilles), Deebo Samuel (hamstring), De'Zhaun Stribling (IR, ankle) and Demarcus Robinson (IR, ankle), Watkins saw an expanded role and made good use of the opportunity. All three of Watkins' catches went for first downs, and he finished third in receiving yards and targets while also tying for that slotting in receptions. The 2025 fourth-round pick's performance was encouraging, but he's likely to slide back down the depth chart since the wide-receiver room could be much healthier by the time San Francisco returns to action against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 8 following the Week 8 bye.

Godwin secured four of five targets for 27 yards in the Buccaneers' 43-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Godwin served as the Buccaneers' de facto No. 1 receiver with Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) sidelined, but as it turned out, the Buccaneers' air attack had minimal involvement in the lopsided win. With the returning Baker Mayfield attempting just 11 passes and mustering 64 passing yards, Godwin's numbers were actually perfectly acceptable within that context. Godwin has back-to-back four-catch efforts and at least that number in three of the past four games overall; however, with an average of just 9.0 yards per reception and zero touchdowns through seven games, the veteran receiver carries very modest fantasy value even withe Egbuka sidelined.

Fields caught four of five targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 27-21 overtime win over Houston.

In J.J. McCarthy's first start of the season, Fields had his best performance as a pro, capping his day with a 47-yard catch and run in the first quarter. The rookie wideout set a new career high in both receiving yards and catches after hauling in exactly two passes in each of his first six games for the Giants. Fields will head into the Giants' bye with a 16-248-1 line on 30 targets before facing the Eagles in Week 9.

Nabers caught seven of nine targets for 111 yards in Sunday's 27-21 overtime win over the Texans.

The switch from Jameis Winston to J.J. McCarthy at quarterback for the Giants hasn't slowed Nabers down at all, and the team's No. 1 wideout extended his streak of games with over 100 receiving yards to four. During that surge, Nabers has delivered a 36-509-2 line on 51 targets, as he puts his injury-marred sophomore NFL campaign firmly behind him. He'll try to not to lose his momentum during the bye before facing the Eagles in Week 9.

Waddle didn't return to Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cardinals due to a chest injury, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.

Waddle went to the locker room in the fourth quarter, and the Broncos confirmed shortly before the end of the game that he was dealing with a chest injury. Sunday's injury could be an aggravation of the chest injury that bothered Waddle in practice leading up to the game. Waddle's likely to pop up on the injury report as the Broncos prepare for a Week 8 rematch with the Chiefs, who defeated Denver in Week 1. He finished with four catches for 48 yards on seven targets against the Cardinals.

Tate caught five of seven targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Browns.

The rookie wideout was once again Cam Ward's top downfield option, leading the Titans in catches and receiving yards and tying Elic Ayomanor for the lead in targets. Tate has made five or more receptions in four of the last five games, amassing a 27-348-1 line on 40 targets during that span. He'll look to keep rolling in a Week 8 tilt against the Bengals.

Waddle (undisclosed) headed to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Waddle had his practice reps limited leading up to the game due to a chest injury. He was grabbing at his chest/shoulder area prior to exiting, per Gabriel, suggesting Waddle may have aggravated the injury as he went to the ground to avoid a fumble on a botched reverse. Prior to getting hurt, Waddle caught four of seven targets for 48 yards.
