  • Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Bumped down depth chart

    Flournoy didn't see a target and played just 28 percent (19 of 67) of the offensive snaps for the Cowboys in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.

    The return of CeeDee Lamb from an ankle injury cost Flournoy his route to fantasy value, as both Jalen Tolbert (49 percent of the offensive snaps) and KaVontae Turpin (30 percent) were on the field more often, although that duo combined for only two catches on three targets for 33 yards. The Dallas passing game is dominated by Lamb, George Pickens and tight end Jake Ferguson, and as long as they stay healthy, Flournoy and the rest of the depth wideouts figure to see very little target volume.

  • Jalen Tolbert WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: One reception in Week 7 rout

    Tolbert caught one of two targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.

    With CeeDee Lamb back from his ankle injury, Tolbert retained his No. 3 role on the wide receiver depth chart, playing 49 percent of the offensive snaps (33 of 67) for the Cowboys while KaVontae Turpin saw 30 percent (20 snaps) and Ryan Flournoy dropped to 28 percent (19). Those three players combined for just a 2-33-0 line on three targets, however, as Dak Prescott's attention was mainly on Lamb, George Pickens and tight end Jake Ferguson. As long as the team's top two WRs are healthy, Tolbert's fantasy value will be minimal at best.

  • Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Three catches versus Titans

    Douglas caught all three of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans.

    On the heels of his most productive game of the season, a 3/71/1 effort in Week 6, Douglas was on the field for 15 of a possible 65 snaps on offense in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. With Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins out-snapping him once again Sunday, Douglas looks like a hit-or-miss option in deeper fantasy formats as this weekend's game against the Browns approaches.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Patriots' Mack Hollins: Two catches Sunday

    Hollins, who was on the field for 43 of 65 snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught both his targets for 49 yards.

    Hollins, who also logged his first carry of the season for four yards, heads into Week 8 action with an 11-119-2 receiving line on 14 targets. Given his modest volume, Hollins is only a fantasy option in deep formats while he's working behind Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte in the New England WR corps.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Jets' Allen Lazard: Season-high 16 yards in Week 7

    Lazard caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers.

    Lazard played a season-high 56 percent of snaps on offense in the absence of Garrett Wilson (knee), but the veteran wide receiver's contributions were limited as Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor combined to throw for just 172 yards. Even if Wilson remains out against the Bengals in Week 8, Lazard's upside will be capped by the sorry state of the winless Jets' quarterback play.

  • Arian Smith WR | NYJ

    Jets' Arian Smith: Non-factor in Wilson's absence

    Smith caught one of three targets for no gain in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers.

    Neither Justin Fields nor Tyrod Taylor showed any chemistry with Smith. The rookie fourth-round pick failed to capitalize on increased playing time in the absence of Garrett Wilson (knee). Smith was on the field for 56 of the Jets' 61 snaps on offense.

  • Tyler Johnson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Tyler Johnson: Leading receiver in Week 7 loss

    Johnson caught all three of his targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers.

    Johnson led the Jets in receiving yards in the absence of Garrett Wilson (knee), while no teammate contributed more than 31 receiving yards. Tyrod Taylor replaced the ineffective Justin Fields at halftime and connected with Johnson for gains of 20 and 35 yards in the second half. If Taylor gets the starting nod for Week 8 against the Bengals and Wilson remains sidelined, Johnson could offer some value based on the chemistry he showed with Taylor in the loss to Carolina.

  • Dolphins' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Season-high involvement

    Westbrook-Ikhine secured three of four targets for 16 yards during Miami's 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Westbrook-Ikhine saw season-high totals in terms of targets, catches and offensive snaps (77 percent), in part due to tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) exiting early versus Cleveland. With Tyreek Hill (IR, knee) done for the year, if Waller is unavailable on the road against Atlanta in Week 8, Westbrook-Ikhine will be positioned for increased involvement in the passing game behind Malik Washington and Jaylen Waddle.

  • Packers' Savion Williams: Limited to four snaps

    Williams played four snaps in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.

    The third-round rookie is still filling only a bit role for Green Bay, and he has gotten only 11 total snaps on offense since the team's Week 5 bye. He could see a few more opportunities if Dontayvion Wicks (calf) misses any action, but he also figures to drop below Christian Watson (knee) on the depth chart when the latter returns in the next week or two.

  • Malik Heath WR | GB

    Packers' Malik Heath: Held without target again

    Heath was not targeted in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.

    Heath -- due in part to a calf injury sustained by fellow wideout Dontayvion Wicks -- finished third among Packers receivers in snaps in Week 7, but he finished without a target for the fourth time in six appearances this season. Heath could benefit if Wicks misses any further action, but another pass catcher -- Christian Watson (knee) -- is due back soon, so any sort of long-term boost looks unlikely.
