Mims brought in six of seven targets for 85 yards and took his only carry for 13 yards in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.

Mims checked in as the Broncos' second-leading receiver in Sunday's comeback victory, finishing only behind Courtland Sutton's 6-87-0 receiving line. The 23-year-old Mims added 13 yards on his fourth rushing attempt of the season to finish as Denver's highest yardage producer. That said, Mims finished with two or fewer receptions in four out of his last five appearances, highlighting the playmaker's weekly volatility. Fantasy managers are hoping for one of Mims' "boom" games in a soft matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday.

Taylor completed 10 of 22 passes for 126 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers. He added three rushes for 11 yards.

Taylor replaced Justin Fields to start the third quarter and brought some life to the offense, accounting for most of the Jets' offensive production. However, he was also intercepted twice while a comeback was still possible, negating his positive work. Despite the inconsistent results, Taylor could be in line for a Week 8 start against the Bengals, as coach Aaron Glenn stated he will evaluate the position throughout the week, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.

Carlson did not attempt a field goal or extra point in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs.

The Raiders finished with just 95 yards of total offense on 30 plays and 17:52 of possession time. Carlson has gone 11-of-14 on field-goal tries and 8-of-8 on extra-point attempts in 2025, though his opportunities are limited by the Raiders' offensive struggles.

McAtamney went 2-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-32 loss to the Broncos.

The kicker missed a PAT in the second quarter and another one in the fourth, leaving the Giants with only a two-point lead as the Broncos got the ball back to try to drive for the winning field goal. McAtamney has filled in for the injured Graham Gano (groin) for four games, and while he has made both field-goal attempts, he is just 7-of-10 on extra-point tries. Gano has sat out the requisite four games, so his possible return from IR is worth monitoring ahead of next Sunday's matchup with the Eagles.

Mariota completed four of 10 pass attempts for 63 yards and an interception while rushing twice for 34 yards in Sunday's 44-22 loss to Dallas.

Mariota stepped in for Jayden Daniels (hamstring) in the third quarter after Washington's starter exited the contest with an apparent hamstring injury. The 31-year-old Mariota flashed his mobility on a team-high 25-yard scramble, but he didn't do much else after entering the contest in the second half of a blowout loss. Daniels is set to undergo an MRI on his injured hamstring Monday, which should shed more light on the starter's availability for Week 8. If Daniels is unable to go, Mariota would become an enticing stream option against the Chiefs next Monday.

Ward completed 25 of 34 passes for 255 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Patriots. He also lost a fumble.

Ward turned in the most efficient game of his career, averaging 7.5 yards per attempt. He also showed rapport with fellow rookie Chimere Dike, connecting on a 38-yard score late in the first quarter on a deep ball to the left corner of the end zone -- one of his four completions of at least 15 yards. There were still plenty of problems with the performance, including a pair of turnovers and five sacks, highlighting Ward's inconsistency.

Croskey-Merritt took 13 carries for 33 yards while catching one of two targets for a loss of one yard in Sunday's 44-22 loss to Dallas.

Croskey-Merritt couldn't find any running lanes against one of the worst rushing defenses in the league Sunday. The seventh-round rookie still led Washington's backfield in touches, but he ceded a short rushing touchdown to backup Chris Rodriguez (3-12-1). It is unclear whether Jayden Daniels (hamstring) or Marcus Mariota will be under center for next Monday's tilt against the Chiefs, but Croskey-Merritt figures to continue spearheading the Commanders' backfield rotation in Week 8.

Gay went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Cowboys.

The kicker did not get a chance to attempt a field goal. Gay has yet to miss an extra point this year, going 18-for-18, though he has missed four field goals (10-for-14).

Robinson finished with six receptions on 12 targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 33-32 loss to Denver.

Robinson paced the Giants in receptions and yardage for the second week running, this time also surpassing Lil'Jordan Humphrey in targets. The 24-year-old Robinson is now averaging 5.7 receptions and 69.7 yards in three games since taking over for for Malik Nabers (knee) as the Giants' top wideout. Robinson provides enough upside in his current role to warrant flex consideration against the Eagles next Sunday.

Smith completed 10 of 16 passes for 67 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs. He added two rushes for one yard.

The futility of the Raiders offense can be stated in many different ways, and Smith was at the center of the lack of production. The unit ran only two offensive plays in Chiefs territory, totaled only three first downs, and ran only 30 offensive plays, the final of which was the second-fewest in the Super Bowl era, per Josh Dubow of The Associated Press. Needless to say, it was a disastrous fantasy performance, and Smith has now thrown for less than 200 yards in four of his seven starts and has zero scores in three contests. He was also replaced by Kenny Pickett late in the game due to the score, but there is no indication that the team is considering a change at quarterback.
