Anthony Gould WR | IND
Colts' Anthony Gould: Works as No. 3 receiver
Gould took the field for 39 of the Colts' 60 snaps on offense and finished with one reception for three yards on his only target in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers.
Gould moved into the No. 3 receiver role ahead of Adonai Mitchell while the Colts were without Josh Downs (concussion) and Ashton Dulin (chest). Gould likely will return to a special teams role as a return man once the Colts get one of Downs or Dulin back in the lineup.

Lamar Jackson QB | BAL
Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Remains absent from practice
Jackson (hamstring) is not on the field for Monday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Jackson remains sidelined at practice despite the Ravens coming off a Week 7 bye, though head coach John Harbaugh said that "the hope" is that the franchise quarterback will be back in the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Chicago, per Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com. That said, Baltimore's first official practice of Week 8 will occur Wednesday, so the team may simply be taking a cautious approach with Jackson's activity until then. In any case, fantasy managers will need to monitor Jackson's practice status closely, as, if he were unable to suit up against the Bears, the Ravens would have to turn to either Cooper Rush or Tyler Huntley for a start. Jackson hasn't logged practice activity since injuring his hamstring Week 4 against the Chiefs.

Brian Robinson Jr. RB | ATL
49ers' Brian Robinson: Season-high 36 yards Sunday
Robinson carried the ball nine times for 36 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 20-10 win over Atlanta.
Robinson's 36 rushing yards Sunday set a new high-water mark for the backup rusher through seven appearances with the 49ers. The nine carries tied his previous high set back in Week 1. This comes on the heels of a zero-carry outing against the Buccaneers last week. It makes sense that Robinson would see an uptick in usage in games that the 49ers play with a lead for most of the contest. While a similar situation could arise in a winnable matchup against the Texans next Sunday, Robinson is unlikely to sniff double-digit touches in his current role working behind Christian McCaffrey.

Zach Wilson QB | NO
Dolphins' Zach Wilson: Fighting for No. 2 QB spot
Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Wilson will compete with rookie Quinn Ewers this week for Miami's No. 2 quarterback role, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports.
Wilson served as the Dolphins' top reserve quarterback in each of the team's first six games but was demoted ahead of the Week 7 loss to the Browns. Ewers entered Sunday's contest in the fourth quarter, completing five of eight pass attempts for 53 yards and fumbling twice on just 12 offensive snaps. Wilson will now have the opportunity to compete for that No. 2 QB spot again after throwing for 6,325 yards, 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions over 35 career games.

Ivan Pace Jr. LB | MIN
Vikings' Ivan Pace: Benched in loss
Pace was benched in Sunday's loss to the Eagles in favor of Eric Wilson with Blake Cashman returning from injured reserve, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Pace didn't play a snap on defense but logged 23 snaps on special teams. He had 10 missed tackles in the five previous game, according to Pro Football Focus, which could have been a factor. He could get back into the mix at some point if there's an injury or the Vikings use three-linebacker formations.

Quinn Ewers QB | JAC
Dolphins' Quinn Ewers: Competing for No. 2 QB
Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Ewers will compete with Zach Wilson this week for the Dolphins' backup quarterback position, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
The rookie from Texas had served as the Dolphins' emergency third quarterback in each of the team's first six games but was promoted to the backup role in Week 7. Ewers entered Sunday's loss in the fourth quarter, completing five of eight pass attempts for 53 yards. However, his ball-security issues likely contributed to McDaniel's decision to open a competition for the No. 2 QB position, as Ewers fumbled twice on just 12 offensive snaps, though neither were recovered by the defense.

Kendre Miller RB | NO
Saints' Kendre Miller: Confirmed done for season
Coach Kellen Moore confirmed Monday that Miller (knee) will miss the remainder of the season, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Miller suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Bears, which knocks him out for the rest of the 2025 campaign. He had been operating as a sort of 1B to Alvin Kamara's 1A in the New Orleans backfield, totaling a 47-193-1 rushing line across seven contests. With Miller now done for the year, rookie Devin Neal figures to slot in as the RB2 for the Saints. A third-round pick in the 2023 Draft, Miller is under contract through the 2026 season.

Adam Thielen WR | PIT
Vikings' Adam Thielen: Continued minimal role
Thielen recorded a 10-yard reception on two targets in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Eagles.
Thielen played just eight snaps on offense but was part of the passing attack after failing to get a target last week. The veteran is unlikely to see his role grow unless the Vikings are without one of Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison or Jalen Nailor for a given game.

Demarcus Robinson WR | SF
49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Blanked as No. 3 WR Sunday
Robinson failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Falcons.
Robinson logged 23 snaps on offense (34 percent) as the 49ers' third receiver behind Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne on Sunday. The 30-year-old Robinson was an afterthought on offense in San Francisco's run-heavy game plan, resulting in zero receptions a week after recording his highest yardage total (44) this season. The fact that the coaching staff prefers Bourne -- who was claimed off of waivers in Week 2 -- over the team's biggest free agent signing this past offseason speaks volumes to how poor of a fit Robinson has been with the 49ers. Fantasy managers would have to be in a desperate situation to rely on Robinson against the Texans in Week 8.

Jalen Nailor WR | LV
Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Two receptions in loss
Nailor notched two receptions for 37 yards on four targets in Sunday's 28-22 loss to Philadelphia.
Nailor worked as the No. 3 receiver and played on 41 of the offense's 69 snaps, which was similar to the last two weeks once Jordan Addison returned from a suspension. He has a steady role in the offense but won't get many looks in the passing game with Justin Jefferson, Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson drawing the bulk of the targets.
