Week 7 was a tough week for wide receivers. Brandon Aiyuk and Chris Godwin sustained season-ending injuries, while Mike Evans is dealing with a hamstring issue and awaiting MRI results. Additionally, Jameson Williams is suspended for two games. However, there is some good news on the horizon. Cooper Kupp is expected to return for the Rams, and Tua Tagovailoa is set to return for the Dolphins, which could benefit Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Kupp, Hill, and Waddle have been popular buy-low candidates and could start performing well soon. Mike Evans could also be a great buy-low option if he can return from his injury and play without Chris Godwin. The Buccaneers have a favorable schedule ahead, which could make Evans a top-10 wide receiver towards the end of the season.
Moving on to Week 8, here is what you need to know about wide receivers:
– Cooper Kupp had a 36% target share in the first two weeks of the season and is a must-start if he returns for the Rams.
– DeVonta Smith’s target share has been impacted by A.J. Brown’s presence, which could be concerning for Fantasy owners.
– George Pickens and Jauan Jennings have shown promise in their target rates and yards per route run.
– Rashod Bateman and Jerry Jeudy are players to watch for in Week 8 matchups.
