  • Bears' Roschon Johnson: Retains minimal usage

    Johnson rushed once for 11 yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Johnson has two rushing attempts while seeing offensive snaps in just two games this season. His lack of involvement leaves him with minimal fantasy value.

  • Kyle Monangai RB | CHI

    Bears' Kyle Monangai: Finds end zone

    Monangai rushed 13 times for 81 yards and one touchdown and caught two passes for 13 yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Monangai recorded his first game with more than seven rushes and 28 yards. Some of his increased work came because the Bears won by double digits. It's unlikely this level of workload continues unless D'Andre Swift misses time.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN

    Broncos' J.K. Dobbins: Efficient on 14 carries

    Dobbins took 14 carries for 81 yards while losing one yard on his only reception in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.

    Dobbins responded well from his worst outing of the season against the Jets last week (14-40-0), averaging 5.8 yards a carry while leading his team in rushing against the Giants. The veteran starter was held out of the end zone in consecutive games for the first time this season, which is the only negative takeaway from Sunday's win. Backup RJ Harvey poached a receiving touchdown on his only reception, but he generated zero rushing yards on four attempts as the Broncos backfield continues to belong to Dobbins. The Ohio State product checks in as a safe starting option in fantasy for Week 8 in a soft matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday.

  • Jimmy Horn Jr. WR | CLE

    Panthers' Jimmy Horn: Smaller workload in Week 7

    Horn caught one of two targets for eight yards and rushed once for seven yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.

    Horn's role on the Panthers' offense shrank with the return of Jalen Coker in the Week 7 win. The 2025 sixth-round pick from Colorado has now recorded five catches for 65 yards and four carries for 28 yards over his first three games as a pro. While Horn could be more involved in Carolina's offense as the season progresses, he's likely to play another reserve role in the Week 8 matchup against the Bills.

  • 49ers' Renardo Green: Downgraded to out

    Green (toe) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's game against the Falcons, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    The cornerback suffered the injury during the first half. Green made two tackles (one solo) before exiting. Darrell Luter should be the next man up at outside corner.

  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Cowboys' George Pickens: Productive in Lamb's return

    Pickens finished with four receptions on six targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over Washington.

    The Cowboys' No. 1 wideout, CeeDee Lamb (ankle), made a successful return following a three-week layoff Sunday, producing a 5-110-1 receiving line in a blowout victory. That didn't cause Pickens to cool off, but it may have played a role in the talented No. 2 receiver's scoring streak ending at five games. Pickens' six targets Sunday were closer to the 7.2 he averaged in the three games Lamb was active for, as opposed to the 8.7 targets Pickens received filling in as Dallas' No. 1 option. Look for both talented starters to be featured in a tough road matchup against the Broncos next Sunday.

  • Jalen Coker WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jalen Coker: No catches Sunday

    Coker was targeted twice but didn't record a catch in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.

    The Holy Cross product was sidelined for Carolina's first six games this season due to a quadriceps injury, and he made minimal impact in his return Sunday. Coker operated as the team's No. 3 wide receiver, playing behind Tetairoa McMillan (3-33-0) and Xavier Legette (9-92-1). His role in the Panthers' offense will likely continue to grow as the season progresses, but he's not expected to carry much fantasy value in Week 8 against the Bills.

  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Bears' DJ Moore: Leads team in receiving yards

    Moore secured three of five targets for 43 yards and rushed once for nine yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Moore went from still being in a DC-area hospital Tuesday morning following the Bears' Week 6 win over the Commanders to pacing Chicago in receiving yards and sharing the team lead in receptions Sunday. Moore didn't look any worse for wear after suffering a groin injury versus Washington, and he's now cleared 40 receiving yards in consecutive games for the second time this season. The Bears' passing attack remains a relatively low-volume one most weeks, but Moore will remain an important target for Caleb Williams in a Week 8 road matchup against the Ravens next Sunday afternoon.

  • Trey McBride TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey McBride: Two trips to end zone against Pack

    McBride caught 10 of 13 targets for 74 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Packers.

    The fourth-year tight end hasn't missed a beat with Jacoby Brissett under center instead of Kyler Murray (foot). McBride hauled in scores of 15 yards in the second quarter and 12 yards in the third, and through two games working with Brissett, he's delivered an 18-146-3 line on 24 targets as Arizona's clear No. 1 downfield option. With the Cardinals on bye in Week 8, Murray could get enough time to recover, but no matter who he's catching passes from, McBride could be poised for another impressive performance in Week 9 against the Cowboys.

  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Scores first receiving TD of career

    Skattebo rushed 16 times for 60 yards and caught three of six targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-32 loss to Denver.

    Skattebo followed up the first multi-score game of his career with his first trip to the end zone as a receiver through seven pro appearances. The bruising tailback had actually been fairly active in the pass game prior to Sunday's touchdown catch, averaging 3.3 receptions and 25.8 receiving yards in the previous six games. Skattebo did finish below 4.0 yards per carry for the third time this season, but he is still commanding the lion's share of touches out of the Giants' backfield. Fantasy managers should continue riding Skattebo next Sunday against the Eagles in a rematch from Week 6, when the rookie hit paydirt thrice.
