Chaisson tallied three total tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans.

Chaisson found the end zone for the first time in his NFL career during Sunday's win, returning a Cam Ward fumble for a four-yard score in the third quarter. The veteran edge rusher has already tallied 4.5 sacks through his first six games in 2025, which is just a half-sack short of his previous best in a single season. He's expected to continue starting opposite Harold Landry to form New England's top pass-rush duo in the Week 8 matchup against the Browns.

Waller is considered week-to-week due to a strained pectoral that the Dolphins do not believe will require surgery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Waller was forced out of Miami's loss to the Browns in Week 7 after playing just 15 offensive snaps without recording a catch, and he now appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons. With the Dolphins already without Tyreek Hill (torn ACL) for the rest of the season, an absence for any stretch of time on Waller's part will be a significant blow to a passing game that's already struggling. Tight ends Julian Hill and Tanner Conner will benefit from increased workloads Week 8 if Waller can't go, as will wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in the No. 3 role behind Jaylen Waddle and Malik Washington. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Waller isn't expected to be available versus Atlanta or on Thursday Night Football against the Ravens in Week 9, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.

Verse recorded two total tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.

The 2024 first-round pick from Florida State has now tallied 30 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, through the first seven games of his second NFL season. Verse has also forced three fumbles, which ties Quinnen Williams for the third most in the league. He's expected to continue starting opposite Byron Young to form one of the scariest pass-rush duos in the NFL following the Rams' Week 8 bye.

Young tallied two total tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.

Young continued to dominate as a pass rusher in the Rams' Week 7 win and is now tied for the league lead with 9.0 sacks through seven games. He's had an incredible beginning to his 2025 campaign, also recording 39 total tackles and one forced fumble. The Tennessee product is expected to continue wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks in Week 9 when the Rams face the Saints.

Tracy tallied nine carries for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-32 loss to Denver.

Tracy finished with the second-most carries and rushing yards among Giants players, and his performance was highlighted by a 31-yard dash through a gaping hole into the end zone in the third quarter. On a less positive note, Tracy's remaining eight rushes netted just 15 yards, and he wasn't involved at all in the passing game. Meanwhile, Cam Skattebo continued to lead New York's backs with 19 touches for 94 yards and a touchdown while out-snapping Tracy 46-28. Sunday's box score suggests that Tracy could have an occasional fantasy impact when the game script favors an increased workload, but it'll be difficult for fantasy managers to deploy him with confidence as long as Skattebo continues to lead the backfield.

Lake tallied six total tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, two passes defended and one forced fumble in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.

The UCLA product was all over the field for Los Angeles' defense during Sunday's win, forcing the first fumble of his career in the second quarter. Lake has impressed as the Rams' top slot corner this season, recording 45 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and nine passes defended, with one interception, over the team's first seven games. He's expected to continue causing problems for opposing quarterbacks following Los Angeles' Week 8 bye.

Curl recorded 10 total tackles (eight solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.

Curl led the Rams' defense in total tackles for the fourth time this season during Sunday's blowout win. The 26-year-old safety is having an incredible start to his second season with the Rams, recording 57 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and four passes defended, with two interceptions, over the team's first seven games. He's expected to remain one of Los Angeles' top defensive playmakers following the Week 8 bye.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Njoku (knee) remains day-to-day, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Njoku missed three straight practices before being ruled out for Cleveland's eventual win over the Dolphins in Week 7. He'll almost certainly need to retake the field as at least a limited participant before returning to the lineup, meaning Njoku's status at practice will have to be monitored ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Patriots. Rookie Harold Fannin will continue benefiting from an increased workload until Njoku returns to action.

Landman recorded nine total tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.

The Colorado product was one of six Rams to get to the quarterback during Sunday's blowout win, taking down Trevor Lawrence early in the second quarter. Landman has now tallied 67 total tackles (fifth most in the NFL), including 1.5 sacks, four passes defended and one forced fumble over the Rams' first seven games this season. He's expected to remain one of the league's top inside linebackers and a solid IDP option following Los Angeles' Week 8 bye.

Overshown (knee) is expected to return to Cowboys' practice later this week, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

The third-year pro from Texas remains on the reserve/PUP list as he continues to work his way back from a torn ACL, MCL and PCL sustained last season. However, his 21-day practice window is expected to be opened later this week, with hopes that he can return for Dallas' Week 11 matchup against the Raiders. Once Overshown returns to full health, he's likely to operate as one of the Cowboys' starting inside linebackers.
