Chase caught 12 of 19 targets for 91 yards in Sunday's 39-38 loss to the Jets.

After setting a franchise record with 23 targets in the Week 7 win over Pittsburgh, Chase continued to see heavy volume from Joe Flacco, though a Jets secondary missing Sauce Gardner (concussion) did a surprisingly decent job of keeping Chase in check. Chase's fantasy managers won't be too disappointed with this outing, especially in PPR formats, though the Bengals will be kicking themselves for getting outscored 23-7 in the fourth quarter by a previously winless Jets team. Given how frequently Flacco looks his way, Chase has returned to the elite echelon of fantasy wide receivers ahead of a Week 9 home game versus the Bears.

Schwesinger is believed to have suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday's Week 8 loss to New England and is slated for an MRI, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Schwesinger was hurt midway through the fourth quarter and didn't return. He had a nice game before getting injured, tallying five tackles and an interception. the typical recovery timeline for a high ankle sprain is about four to six weeks, and the results of Schwesinger's MRI should provide some clarity about whether he's at risk of missing time. However, Cleveland has a Week 9 bye, so Schwesinger will have some extra time to recover before the Browns' next game, which will take place Sunday, Nov. 9 against the Jets.

Swift carried the ball 11 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Ravens.

The 26-year-old running back accounted for Chicago's only TD of the day on a two-yard run early in the fourth quarter that briefly brought the team within a field goal at 16-13. Swift has a four-game touchdown streak going, scoring three on the ground and one through the air, and over that stretch he's averaged 111 scrimmage yards a contest. Swift could be headed for another big performance in Week 9 against a vulnerable Bengals defense that just got gashed by Breece Hall for 133 rushing yards and two TDs, plus a four-yard touchdown toss on a trick play.

Hall (knee) rushed 18 times for 133 yards and two touchdowns, caught two of three targets for 14 yards and threw a four-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals.

Hall scored his first touchdown of the season on a five-yard run early in the fourth quarter, then doubled that total with a 27-yard touchdown run that featured some impressive footwork to stay inbounds along the sideline. He capped the improbable fourth-quarter comeback with a four-yard touchdown pass to Mason Taylor, as the ensuing PAT gave the Jets their first lead of the game with 1:54 remaining before the defense closed the door. Hall will have a Week 9 bye to help his recovery from a knee injury that limited his practice participation and had him listed as questionable heading into Sunday's win, and he should reprise his role as the team's top backfield option in Week 10 against the Browns.

Wallace sustained a stinger injury during the Panthers' 40-9 loss to the Bills on Sunday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Wallace was cleared of a concussion after taking a hit to the head during the third quarter, but he still came out worse for wear. His practice participation over the coming week will provide clarity on his chances of playing in Week 9 against the Packers on Sunday, Nov. 2. Wallace tallied seven tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, prior to leaving Sunday's game.

Williams completed 25 of 38 passes for 285 yards and an interception in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Ravens. He added 24 rushing yards on three carries.

The second-year quarterback was able to move the ball early, but Williams' inability to get the ball into the end zone eventually cost the Bears after their first two drives ended in field goals. It's the second straight game in which he's failed to produce a TD, and both came against what were statistically poor defenses in New Orleans and Baltimore. Williams will try to get back on track against another vulnerable unit in Week 9 as Chicago faces a Cincinnati defense that just squandered a late lead and handed Justin Fields and the Jets their first win of the season.

Head coach Dave Canales said Christensen is feared to have sustained a season-ending Achilles injury during the Panthers' 40-9 loss to the Bills on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Christensen was carted off the field during the second half of Sunday's game, and further tests seem to have revealed that the fifth-year pro will miss the rest of the season due to a ruptured Achilles. The severity of the injury could also impact his availability for the start of the 2026 season. In Christensen's absence, Jake Curhan is a candidate to start at right guard for the rest of 2025.

Fitzpatrick (finger) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Fitzpatrick exited the game halfway through the fourth quarter after sustaining an injury to his finger during an attempted punch-out. With the earlier injury to Ashtyn Davis, the Dolphins now have no healthy active safeties. They will likely have to turn to depth defensive backs Kendall Sheffield, Dante Trader and Ethan Bonner.

Cisco (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Cisco is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game after sustaining a shoulder injury. Isaiah Oliver and Tony Adams are the top candidates to see additional snaps at safety if Cisco is unable to return.

Jenkins (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against New England.

Jenkins was deemed out with about 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Prior to his exit, he recorded four tackles (two solo). Jenkins has worked in a rotational role throughout the campaign, topping out at a 40 percent defensive snap share Week 7 against Miami.
