Henry's only target in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns resulted in a seven-yard touchdown.

Fortunately for those who had Henry in Week 8 lineups, his season low in targets still yielded fantasy production. Looking ahead to the Patriots' Week 9 game against the Falcons, Henry -- who was on the field for 52 of 68 snaps on offense versus Cleveland, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com -- merits fantasy consideration given that he continues to see steady playing time and has compiled a 25-317-4 receiving line on 37 targets through eight games.

Douglas caught his only target for 44 yards and gained three yards on two carries in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.

Douglas, who was on the field for just 14 of 68 snaps on offense Sunday per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, was out-snapped in the contest by fellow WRs Kayshon Boutte (50), Mack Hollins (49), Stefon Diggs (35) and Kyle Williams (15). With a total of 14 catches on 24 targets for 162 yards and two TDs in eight games thus far, Douglas remains a hit-or-miss lineup option in deeper fantasy formats ahead of the Patriots' Week 9 contest versus Atlanta.

Bryant caught two of four targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-24 win over the Cowboys.

Bryant's trip to the end zone was his first touchdown of his career, and he also earned four targets for the second straight week. The rookie wideout played 35 of the Broncos' 63 offensive snaps Sunday, behind both Courtland Sutton (53) and Troy Franklin (40). Bryant has now played over 50 percent of snaps for the past four contests after failing to reach that mark in the first four weeks of the season. With fellow receiver Marvin Mims suffering a concussion late in the win over Dallas, it's possible Bryant will see his snap share continue to climb if Mims is forced to miss time. The 22-year-old Illinois product will look to take another step forward when the Broncos visit the Texans in Week 9.

Hollins caught all seven of his targets for a team-high 89 yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.

After combining for five catches on six targets for 81 yards over his four previous games, Hollins -- who logged a 72 percent snap versus Cleveland -- topped those marks Sunday in his most productive outing of the season. While his Week 8 output was notable, with Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte and DeMario Douglas also in the Patriots WR mix and Hunter Henry getting significant looks at tight end, Hollins' weekly volume figures to fluctuate, a context that limits his fantasy utility to deeper formats.

Sanders caught all three of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Bills.

Since returning from an ankle injury in the Panthers' Week 7 win over the Jets, Sanders has caught just three of five targets for 19 yards. However, he still operated as the team's top tight end in Week 8, logging 31 offensive snaps to Tommy Tremble's 28. Sanders played a significant role on Carolina's offense before sustaining an injury, catching 11 of 14 targets for 82 yards over the team's first three games. He's expected to be more involved in the passing game during the Week 9 matchup against the Packers, especially if Bryce Young (ankle) returns to action.

Tremble caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Bills.

Since the return of Ja'Tavion Sanders in the Panthers' Week 7 win over the Jets, Tremble's offensive role has decreased. During that span, he's caught both of his targets for just four yards. Although Sanders also underwhelmed in the Week 8 loss (3-19-0), he played three more offensive snaps than Tremble. Expect Tremble to remain Carolina's No. 2 tight end in the Week 9 matchup against the Packers, likely with limited involvement in the passing game.

Coker caught three of four targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Bills.

Coker recorded his first three catches of the season Sunday after going without a reception in the Panthers' Week 7 win over the Jets. The 23-year-old logged 39 offensive snaps and served as Carolina's third wide receiver, playing behind Tetairoa McMillan (56 snaps) and Xavier Legette (53 snaps). Expect Coker to remain involved in the Panthers' offense heading into the Week 9 matchup against the Packers.

Etienne rushed four times for 16 yards during Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Bills.

The rookie running back from Georgia was not involved in the Panthers' offense until late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss, receiving four consecutive carries. Etitenne also contributed on special teams, logging a career-high 100 kick-return yards and 13 punt-return yards on six opportunities. He's expected to continue playing a depth role in Carolina's backfield heading into the Week 9 matchup against the Packers.

Tremayne didn't draw a target while playing seven of the Panthers' 61 offensive snaps in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Bills.

Tremayne has now gone without a target in three consecutive games after recording nine catches for 108 yards over Carolina's first five contests. The Stanford product's seven offensive snaps Sunday also marked his lowest total in a single game this season. His role on the Panthers' offense has diminished, and he's likely to contribute on special teams in the Week 9 matchup against the Packers.

Abdullah had two carries for five yards and one reception for three yards on his lone target in Sunday's 38-14 win over Tennessee.

Tyler Goodson returned after missing three games due to a groin injury but Abdullah saw slightly more work, playing 10 snaps compared to four for Goodson, while DJ Giddens was a healthy inactive. Both active backups had only two carries, however, and none of the Colts' backfield depth options will get enough touches for viable fantasy value as long as Jonathan Taylor dominates the workload even in blowouts, as Sunday's win was essentially wrapped up before the fourth quarter.
