McPherson made all five extra-point attempts in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Titans.

For the second straight week, the Bengals' kicker did not attempt a field goal but connected on all five of his extra-point tries. He's certainly getting scoring attempts in the high-flying Bengals offense, though a few more field-goal tries would boost his fantasy value.

Harris caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Rams.

After missing Week 6 with a hamstring injury, Harris was healthy coming out of the Week 7 bye but played pretty clearly behind both Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston against the Rams. Harris ran just 20 routes to McConkey's 34 and Johnston's 30. Harris would see a big boost if Johnston gets traded ahead of next week's deadline.

McManus converted his sole field-goal attempt and all three PATs in the Rams' 24-9 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

While Joshua Karty handled kickoffs for the Rams, McManus was entrusted with field goals and extra-point tries. The kicker's first field-goal attempt with his new team was a 30-yarder, so the veteran player has not yet been challenged as a Ram.

Hunter failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Colts. He added five rushing yards on one attempt.

With the Jaguars destroying their division rivals, Trevor Lawrence dropped back to pass just 17 times. Hunter's playmaking ability wasn't needed, as he logged just six offensive snaps. He'd likely benefit from a Brian Thomas trade ahead of next week's deadline.

Bates made two of his three field-goal attempts and his sole PAT in the Lions' 19-15 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Bates converted field goals from 25 yards and 37 yards while missing a 46-yarder in the third quarter off the left upright. The kicker is now 12-for-13 on field-goal attempts and a perfect 23-for-23 on PATs through seven regular-season games in 2026.

Perine rushed four times for 10 yards and caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 43-36 overtime win over the Titans.

The Bengals were chasing the Titans on the scoreboard much of the afternoon and Chase Brown and Perine combined for just 16 carries, as Joe Burrow fired off 48 pass attempts. Perine is a touchdown-or-bust desperation RB3 in fantasy whose main value comes in the form of being Brown's backup. Cincinnati has been linked to a potential trade for a running back ahead of next week's deadline.

Little nailed all six extra-point attempts in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Colts.

The kicker did not get a field-goal attempt, but he was the beneficiary of an offense that scored six touchdowns. Little has connected on 22 of 23 extra-point tries in 2026, though he only has 12 total field-goal attempts.

Ridley caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 43-36 overtime loss to the Bengals.

Ridley has been a total non-factor all season and remains likely to be dealt ahead of next week's trade deadline, if there's a team willing to take on the remainder of his $5.49 million salary for this season. He doesn't appear to have much left in the tank at 31 years old.

Davis rushed five times for 15 yards in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.

With Breece Hall (quad) missing another game, Davis handled RB2 duties behind workhorse Braelon Allen. Davis has totaled 15 carries for 44 empty yards this season, adding five catches for 68 yards. Hall is expected to return for Week 9 against the Chiefs, which would relegate Davis to the RB3 role.

Szmyt made both of his field-goal attempts in the Browns' 27-6 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Szmyt converted his 31-yard and 32-yard field-goal attempts in the second quarter of Sunday's contest. The kicker accounted for all six of the Browns' points in the divisional loss. Szmyt is now 16-for-18 on field-goal attempts and 11-for-12 on PATs through eight regular-season games in 2026.
