Jalen Coker WR | CAR
Panthers' Jalen Coker: No catches Sunday
Coker was targeted twice but didn't record a catch in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.
The Holy Cross product was sidelined for Carolina's first six games this season due to a quadriceps injury, and he made minimal impact in his return Sunday. Coker operated as the team's No. 3 wide receiver, playing behind Tetairoa McMillan (3-33-0) and Xavier Legette (9-92-1). His role in the Panthers' offense will likely continue to grow as the season progresses, but he's not expected to carry much fantasy value in Week 8 against the Bills.

DJ Moore WR | CHI
Bears' DJ Moore: Leads team in receiving yards
Moore secured three of five targets for 43 yards and rushed once for nine yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Moore went from still being in a DC-area hospital Tuesday morning following the Bears' Week 6 win over the Commanders to pacing Chicago in receiving yards and sharing the team lead in receptions Sunday. Moore didn't look any worse for wear after suffering a groin injury versus Washington, and he's now cleared 40 receiving yards in consecutive games for the second time this season. The Bears' passing attack remains a relatively low-volume one most weeks, but Moore will remain an important target for Caleb Williams in a Week 8 road matchup against the Ravens next Sunday afternoon.

Romeo Doubs WR | GB
Packers' Romeo Doubs: Leading receiving in Week 7 win
Doubs caught six of eight targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Cardinals.
While Tucker Kraft led the Packers with 10 targets and was on the other end of Jordan Love's only TD pass, it was Doubs who paced the team in catches and receiving yards. The fourth-year wideout has caught at least five passes in three straight games as he shines in the absence of Jayden Reed (collarbone), posting a 17-185-3 line on 25 targets during that stretch. Doubs will look to keep rolling in Week 8 against the Steelers.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Four grabs in Arizona
Golden caught all four of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Cardinals.
The Packers' offense didn't really wake up until the second half, and Golden wasn't able to do as much with his limited volume as he had in Week 6 against the Bengals. The rookie wideout has yet to see more than six targets in a game in the pros, and he's still looking for his first TD in the NFL. Golden will take a modest 18-249-0 line on 23 targets through six contests into a Week 8 meeting with the Steelers.

Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA
Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Another four catches in loss
Shaheed secured four of nine targets for 40 yards in the Saints' 26-14 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Shaheed was the surprise leader in targets on the afternoon for New Orleans while curiously posting four catches for the sixth consecutive game. The speedy fourth-year pro has just two catches of more than 20 yards this season after compiling five in just six 2024 games before his campaign was cut short. The way Spencer Rattler is being asked to manage the offense certainly has something to do with that downturn, but Shaheed should remain a steady contributor in a Week 8 home matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday afternoon.

Keenan Allen WR | LAC
Chargers' Keenan Allen: Season-best numbers in Week 7 loss
Allen caught 11 of 14 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Colts.
The targets, catches and yards were all season highs for the veteran wideout, who was Justin Herbert's most reliable option in the second half as the Chargers tried to mount a comeback from a 23-3 halftime deficit. Allen snapped a three-game scoring drought with the performance, and he'll carry a 44-435-4 line on 65 targets through seven contests into a Week 8 clash with a Vikings secondary that just surrendered a combined 13-304-3 line to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
-
Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Finds end zone in return
Johnston caught two of six targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Colts.
Making his return from a one-game absence due to a hamstring strain, Johnston struggled with drops and didn't see a lot of volume, but he was still able to make an impact with a seven-yard TD reception from Justin Herbert in the third quarter. Johnston will take a 28-407-5 line on 46 targets through six contests into a Week 8 meeting with the Vikings, who just surrendered a combined 13-304-3 line to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Ladd McConkey WR | LAC
Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Season-high nine grabs Sunday
McConkey caught nine of 15 targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Colts.
The second-year wideout set new season highs in targets and receptions, although the increased volume didn't result in increased production -- McConkey finished third on the Chargers in receiving yards behind rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden (7-164-1 on nine targets) and Keenan Allen (11-119-1 on 14 targets), while Quentin Johnston was on the other end of Justin Herbert's third TD. It's been a disappointing sophomore campaign so far for McConkey, but he's posted a 21-206-2 line on 31 targets over the last three games, giving him momentum heading into a Week 8 clash with a Vikings secondary that just surrendered a combined 13-304-3 line to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Alec Pierce WR | IND
Colts' Alec Pierce: Season-best effort against Bolts
Pierce caught five of 10 targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers.
The fourth-year wideout paced the Colts in targets and receiving yards on the day as he works to build downfield chemistry with Daniel Jones. Pierce's catches, yards and targets were all season highs, and through five appearances this season he's posted a 16-317-0 line on 27 targets. He'll look to make an impact as a deep threat again in Week 8 against the Titans.

Tetairoa McMillan WR | CAR
Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Overshadowed by Legette
McMillan recorded three receptions on five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.
McMillan got the attention of Sauce Gardner (concussion) for most of the game, which led to limited opportunity and production. Ultimately, he was held to five targets and three receptions for the second consecutive game, combining to record only 62 yards in that span. Things could open a bit for McMillan in Week 8 against Buffalo, as the Panthers will almost certainly have to have an effective passing attack to have hope of keeping pace in the contest.
