Williams caught three of four targets for 31 yards and rushed once for 25 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals. He also tallied five kickoff returns for 132 yards and returned three punts for 38 yards.

Williams played his usual role as a return man on special teams but also got a chance to contribute meaningfully on offense with the Jets missing wide receivers Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (hip). Williams made the most of his opportunity, but his role on offense is unlikely to expand after the team's Week 9 bye.

Pittman hauled in eight of nine targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Titans.

Pittman finished Sunday's decisive victory leading his club across the board in targets, receptions and receiving yards. The Colts' top wideout also cashed in his sixth touchdown of the season, matching his previous career high from 2021 in nine fewer games. Pittman will carry a healthy 43-446-6 receiving line into next Sunday's road tilt against the Steelers.

Olave corralled eight of 12 targets for 63 yards while losing three yards on his only rush attempt in Sunday's 23-3 loss to Tampa Bay.

Olave was unable to replicate last week's multi-score performance, but he still escaped Sunday's one-sided loss with a solid PPR score. The Saints' top wideout finished with double-digit targets for the sixth time in eight appearances this season. Olave has surpassed last year's production in an injury-shortened season with a 52-503-3 receiving line through eight starts in 2025. The Ohio State product checks in as New Orleans' safest fantasy option heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Rams.

Duvernay caught one of three targets for two yards and returned three kickoffs for 96 yards in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Duvernay continued to work primarily as a return specialist while seeing limited offensive targets. His role offers little fantasy value outside of formats that count return production.

Zaccheaus caught seven of seven targets for 33 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Zaccheaus has at least six targets in three of the last four games, but the receiver has only one game with more than 25 yards in his last five. Zaccheaus remains a low-ceiling PPR flex when volume cooperates.

Egbuka finished with three receptions on nine targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 23-3 win over New Orleans.

Egbuka did not carry an injury designation in Week 8, but the final results suggest that he is still isn't playing at 100 percent. The talented rookie finished with a catch rate below 50 percent for the second week in a row, the only two times he has fallen below that mark this season. Fortunately for fantasy managers, Egbuka will get an extra week of recovery for his nagging hamstring with Tampa Bay on bye in Week 9. A refreshed Egbuka will look to get back on track when the Buccaneers host the Patriots on Nov. 9.

Hutchinson secured five of six targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 26-15 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

Hutchinson tied for the team lead in both receptions and for second in targets while also setting the pace in receiving yards. All three components of Hutchinson's stat line were also career-best figures, making it quite the banner day for the third-year pro while making up for the absence of Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring). Hutchinson's third touchdown reception of the season came on a 30-yard grab just before the halfway point of the third quarter, and if at least one of Collins or Kirk happens to remain sidelined for a Week 9 home matchup against the Broncos, the former could see an expanded role again.

Pickens caught seven of nine targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos.

Pickens delivered a nearly identical stat line to CeeDee Lamb, as the former had one fewer target but four more yards. After a five-game, six-touchdown streak, Pickens has now gone consecutive games without scoring. He'll try to end that drought in a Week 9 home game against the Cardinals while continuing to work as a key cog in a high-powered Dallas offense.

Mims is in concussion protocol following Sunday's 44-24 win over the Cowboys, Troy Renck of The Denver Post reports.

Mims was injured late in the win over Dallas. Prior to getting hurt, the 2023 second-round pick didn't catch his only target and rushed three times for 18 yards. He also had three kickoff returns for 93 yards, two punt returns for 26 yards and drew a 32-yard defensive pass interference penalty. Mims will need to clear concussion protocol to have a chance to play in Week 9 against the Texans.

Lamb caught seven of 10 targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos.

Lamb led the Cowboys in targets and came up just four receiving yards short of George Pickens' team lead, but this was a quiet game by Lamb's lofty standards, as he had at least 110 receiving yards in each of the three previous games he finished this season. Denver's robust pass defense did well to slow down Dallas' aerial attack; Lamb drew a couple of pass interference penalties in the end zone, but the Cowboys didn't produce a passing touchdown until backup quarterback Joe Milton came in with the game already decided in the fourth quarter. Lamb's likely to face less sticky coverage in Week 9, when the Cowboys return home to host the Cardinals on Monday Night Football.
