Wright recorded nine tackles in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Wright set a new high-water mark with nine stops one week after posting two tackles and an interception in Week 7. The cornerback's production has been volatile all season, and the low-floor games he's prone to have make him a risky IDP.

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.

Rattler completed 15 of 21 pass attempts for 136 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while gaining 12 yards and losing a fumble on three carries in Sunday's 23-3 loss to Tampa Bay.

Rattler was benched late in the third quarter of Sunday's loss following a pair of first-half turnovers and just three points scored. Rookie backup Tyler Shough didn't fare much better in relief, completing 56.7 percent of his pass attempts for 128 yards and an interception of his own. It will be interesting to see if Sunday's change was permanent or just a failed attempt to shake things up in Week 8. Neither signal-caller projects as a high-upside fantasy option against the Rams next Sunday.

Monangai rushed seven times for 24 yards and caught his lone target for 25 yards in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Monangai has between 16 and 24 rushing yards in three of his last four contests, with an 81-yard effort and a touchdown in Week 7. His current workload keeps him a fantasy reserve unless opportunities expand.

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.

Nix completed 19 of 29 pass attempts for 247 yards, four touchdowns and one interception while losing one yard on his only carry in Sunday's 44-24 win over the Cowboys.

Nix has produced four scores for fantasy managers in consecutive appearances, using his arm for all four trips to the end zone against a depleted Dallas secondary this time around. The sophomore signal-caller leaned on his younger receiving options Sunday, dialing up second-year wideout Troy Franklin in the end zone twice and rookies Pat Bryant and RJ Harvey once each. Nix is proving his standout rookie campaign was no fluke, checking in with 1,803 passing yards and 15 touchdowns to five interceptions near the midpoint of the regular season. The 25-year-old will look to keep his hot streak alive against Houston's stingy defense next Sunday.

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.

Dalton completed 16 of 24 passes for 175 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding two rushes for one yard in the Panthers' 40-9 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

The veteran signal-caller drew the start for Bryce Young (ankle) and had about as sluggish a day as his numbers imply. Dalton did put together a deceptively efficient stat line, as his completions generally didn't lead to any points and he also took a whopping seven sacks. Dalton displayed strong chemistry with top receiver Tetairoa McMillan (7-99-0 line on 10 targets), but he didn't lead the Panthers into the end zone until the game was well out of hand. Young's ankle injury could take multiple weeks to heal, so despite the uninspiring effort Sunday, Dalton could well be back under center for a tough Week 9 road matchup against the Packers.

Jones completed 21 of 29 pass attempts for 272 yards and three touchdowns while gaining three yards on his only carry in Sunday's 38-14 win over Tennessee.

It still feels surreal to say in 2025 that Jones entered a matchup that he should dominate easily, but that's exactly what he did in another impressive showing for the 7-1 Colts. It was the 28-year-old's first game tossing three touchdown passes with his new club. Part of Jones' breakout with Indianapolis has been his ability to correct the turnover woes we saw earlier in his career, resulting in a career-best 4.3 TD/INT rate. Jones should continue being a match made in heaven for both the Colts and fantasy managers in a road tilt against the Steelers next Sunday.
