Wentz completed 26 of 42 passes for 313 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions and added four rushes for 28 yards in the Vikings' 28-22 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Facing the team that drafted him second overall back in 2016, Wentz put together a fantasy-friendly effort save for his pair of interceptions, one which was a pick-six. The veteran signal-caller connected on completions of 25-plus yards with each of his top three receivers -- Jordan Addison, Justin Jefferson and Jalen Nailor -- and he saw a fourth-quarter touchdown pass to T.J. Hockenson reversed on replay when it was determined the tight end didn't maintain control all the way through his attempted catch. Wentz's yardage total marked his second time eclipsing the 300-yard threshold during his four-game starting tenure, and he projects to remain under center for Thursday night's Week 8 road matchup against the Chargers since the Vikings are expected to give J.J. McCarthy (ankle) one more game before potentially reinserting him into action.

Mooney (hamstring) is active for Sunday's contest at San Francisco, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Mooney last played Week 4, when he sustained a hamstring injury that sidelined him Week 6 following the Falcons' bye week. He then managed just a pair of limited practices (Wednesday and Thursday) during Week 7 prep before being listed as questionable. Having said that, coach Raheem Morris expressed optimism Friday regarding Mooney's upcoming availability, per D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and the wide receiver's status now has been confirmed. While WR Drake London is Atlanta's leading pass catcher by a large margin, Mooney will be available along with RB Bijan Robinson, TE Kyle Pitts and WR Casey Washington, among others, behind the team's top target.

Maye completed 21 of 23 passes for 222 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans. He added eight rushes for 62 yards.

The Patriots pulled away from the Titans midway through the third quarter and also scored a defensive touchdown, both of which limited Maye's pass attempts. However, he was excellent with his opportunities, completing four passes of at least 20 yards -- highlighted by a 39-yard touchdown toss to Kayshon Boutte late in the second quarter to give New England a lead it wouldn't relinquish. Maye also supplemented his work through the air with his highest rushing total of the campaign. He has now thrown for multiple touchdowns and averaged over 9.0 yards per attempt in five of seven games this season.

Williams completed 15 of 26 passes for 172 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while netting minus-2 yards on four carries in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, one which he recovered and the other which remained with Chicago.

Williams' final line underscores the unremarkable performance he authored in the double-digit home win. The 2024 first overall pick averaged 6.6 yards per attempt and generally scuffled against a beatable Saints defense, posting his lowest passing yardage total of the campaign. Williams did connect on another three completions of 20-plus yards, and his 20 such passes on the season over six games are exactly half the tally he generated in that category across 17 regular-season games in 2024. Williams next faces off with an inconsistent Ravens defense on the road in a Week 8 matchup next Sunday afternoon.

Karty made all five of his extra-point attempts during the Rams' 35-7 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Even without superstar wideout Puka Nacua (ankle), the Rams offense scored touchdowns on all five of their scoring drives, which meant Karty was limited to point-after duties during Sunday's win in London. Even with his lack of field-goal tries in Week 7, Karty's fantasy floor should be elevated as long as the Rams offense continues to produce. Karty and the Rams are on a bye for Week 8, which makes Week 9 against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 2 their next matchup.

Grupe missed his lone field-goal attempt and made both of his extra-point tries during the Saints' 26-14 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Grupe wasn't able to put the Saints on the board late in the first quarter after his 53-yard field-goal attempt missed wide right. The third-year kicker has missed at least one field goal in five of the Saints' first seven games of the regular season. Grupe has gone 14-for-20 on field-goal tries and 11-for-11 on extra-point attempts this season.

Daniels injured his right hamstring during Sunday's game at Dallas, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Daniels sustained the injury when he was strip sacked on Washington's first possession of the second half, a play in which Cowboys defender Shemar James rolled into the back of his legs. The second-year signal-caller remained on the turf for a spell and then walked off the field with a visible limp. After a visit to the sideline tent, Daniels jogged to the locker room favoring his right leg, at which point he was deemed questionable to return. Marcus Mariota will lead the Commanders offense for as long as Daniels is unavailable.

Dowdle rushed the ball 17 times for 79 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets. He added one reception on two targets for 17 yards.

Chuba Hubbard returned after a two-game absence and drew the start over Dowdle. The duo then alternated possessions, with Dowdle turning in the far more efficient performance by outgaining Hubbard, 96-48 in total yardage. Dowdle has certainly gained a more significant role in the Carolina offense with his strong showings across the last three weeks, though it doesn't appear the team is prepared to turn the backfield over to him fully at this point.

Moody made all four of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Moody was elevated from the practice squad to the Bears' active roster for a second consecutive week in place of Cairo Santos (thigh). Moody was responsible for the Bears' first six points of the game with field goals from 27 and 39 yards in the first half, and he helped expand Chicago's lead in the second half after connecting on two more field goals. Moody is now 8-for-9 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra-point tries across two games with the Bears. He is eligible to be elevated from the practice squad by Chicago one more time this season, which could happen as soon as Week 8 against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Kamara rushed 11 times for 28 yards and brought in all three targets for one yard in the Saints' 26-14 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Kamara was stymied on the ground by a Bears defense that had been vulnerable against the run, and he uncharacteristically did next to nothing with his three catches. The versatile veteran has been held to 31 rushing yards or fewer in three straight games and hasn't recorded a rushing touchdown since Week 1, leaving his fantasy outlook bleak as a Week 8 home matchup against a tough Buccaneers run defense awaits next Sunday afternoon.
