Marvin Mims WR | DEN
Broncos' Marvin Mims: Gains 98 yards from scrimmage
Mims brought in six of seven targets for 85 yards and took his only carry for 13 yards in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.
Mims checked in as the Broncos' second-leading receiver in Sunday's comeback victory, finishing only behind Courtland Sutton's 6-87-0 receiving line. The 23-year-old Mims added 13 yards on his fourth rushing attempt of the season to finish as Denver's highest yardage producer. That said, Mims finished with two or fewer receptions in four out of his last five appearances, highlighting the playmaker's weekly volatility. Fantasy managers are hoping for one of Mims' "boom" games in a soft matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday.

Wan'Dale Robinson WR | NYG
Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Leads team with 95 yards Sunday
Robinson finished with six receptions on 12 targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 33-32 loss to Denver.
Robinson paced the Giants in receptions and yardage for the second week running, this time also surpassing Lil'Jordan Humphrey in targets. The 24-year-old Robinson is now averaging 5.7 receptions and 69.7 yards in three games since taking over for for Malik Nabers (knee) as the Giants' top wideout. Robinson provides enough upside in his current role to warrant flex consideration against the Eagles next Sunday.

Courtland Sutton WR | DEN
Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Leading receiver on 10 targets
Sutton finished with six receptions on 10 targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.
Sutton got back on track after being held to just 17 receiving yards against the Jets in London last week. The 29-year-old helped play the role of hero when he corralled a 22-yard pass from QB Bo Nix on the penultimate play before a game-winning field goal from kicker Wil Lutz. Sutton has been providing WR2 production for fantasy managers with a 33-469-3 receiving line through seven weeks. Consider the physical wideout a plus play for next Sunday's tilt against a porous Dallas pass defense.

Xavier Legette WR | CAR
Panthers' Xavier Legette: Career day in win
Legette caught nine of 11 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.
The 2024 first-round pick had the best game of his pro career in the Week 7 win, setting personal highs in both receptions (nine) and receiving yards (92). He led the Panthers' receiving corps in catches, yards and touchdowns, while Tetairoa McMillan, Jimmy Horn and Jalen Coker combined for just four catches for 41 yards on nine targets. Legette has now hauled in 17 of 31 targets for 142 yards and two touchdowns across five appearances this season. He's expected to continue operating as the Panthers' No. 2 wideout and primary deep threat heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Bills.

Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Limited to two grabs in win
Jeudy secured two of four targets for 17 yards in the Browns' 31-6 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Jeudy tied with multiple teammates for second in receptions and was also the runner-up for the Browns in targets. However, with Dillon Gabriel barely clearing the 100-yard mark through the air, those numbers were exceedingly modest. Jeudy's five-catch, 66-yard tally back in Week 1 against the Bengals remains his best performance of the season, and he'll head into a Week 8 road matchup against the Patriots having fallen short of 20 receiving yards in two of the last three games.

Malik Washington WR | MIA
Dolphins' Malik Washington: Five catches in Week 7 loss
Washington brought in five of eight targets for 30 yards, returned four kickoffs for 114 yards and ran back one punt for 11 yards in the Dolphins' 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
The speedy second-year wideout led the Dolphins in receptions and targets on a very low-volume day for Miami's passing attack. Washington's catch, yardage and target totals were all season highs, but he continues to be used almost exclusively in a short-area role, capping his upside except in formats that also count return yardage.

Olamide Zaccheaus WR | CHI
Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Small role in offense
Zaccheaus caught two passes on three targets for nine yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also rushed once for zero yards.
Zaccheaus was held to fewer than 24 yards for the first time in four games. With the Bears winning by double digits, the team didn't need to lean on the passing attack. The receiver remains a limited-ceiling PPR depth option.
-
Luther Burden III WR | CHI
Bears' Luther Burden: One catch in win
Burden caught one pass for 22 yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Burden had 51 yards last week and 101 yards in Week 3, so he's becoming more of a factor in the Bears offense. Still, his inconsistency makes him a player to selectively use in fantasy lineups until his weekly targets increase.
-
Jimmy Horn Jr. WR | CAR
Panthers' Jimmy Horn: Smaller workload in Week 7
Horn caught one of two targets for eight yards and rushed once for seven yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.
Horn's role on the Panthers' offense shrank with the return of Jalen Coker in the Week 7 win. The 2025 sixth-round pick from Colorado has now recorded five catches for 65 yards and four carries for 28 yards over his first three games as a pro. While Horn could be more involved in Carolina's offense as the season progresses, he's likely to play another reserve role in the Week 8 matchup against the Bills.

George Pickens WR | DAL
Cowboys' George Pickens: Productive in Lamb's return
Pickens finished with four receptions on six targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over Washington.
The Cowboys' No. 1 wideout, CeeDee Lamb (ankle), made a successful return following a three-week layoff Sunday, producing a 5-110-1 receiving line in a blowout victory. That didn't cause Pickens to cool off, but it may have played a role in the talented No. 2 receiver's scoring streak ending at five games. Pickens' six targets Sunday were closer to the 7.2 he averaged in the three games Lamb was active for, as opposed to the 8.7 targets Pickens received filling in as Dallas' No. 1 option. Look for both talented starters to be featured in a tough road matchup against the Broncos next Sunday.
