Johnson took four carries for four yards and caught all three of his targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 36-10 win versus the Ravens.

In a game that Buffalo ran away with in the second half, Johnson's four carries were a season high, but he couldn't produce much on those rush attempts. Ray Davis actually saw more carries (six) in Week 8 and was more effective as a rusher (30 yards). As long as lead back James Cook is available, Johnson won't have much utility in most fantasy formats.

Brown finished Sunday's loss to the Commanders with two catches for 17 yards on two targets.

With both DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) missing the contest, Brown ranked third among Eagles wideouts with 32 offensive snaps. He didn't do much with the opportunity, as the veteran wideout notched just two receptions for the second straight week. If Smith and/or Wicks return in Week 9 against the Giants, Brown may see his role diminish.

Virgil failed to reel in either of his targets during Sunday's 33-30 overtime victory against Dallas.

Virgil played a season-high 38 offensive snaps, but he went without a reception for the third straight week. The Cardinals placed Kendrick Bourne (lower leg) on injured reserve Tuesday after the wide receiver fractured his right tibia in Week 8, so more opportunities could come Virgil's way moving forward. Regardless of an increase in workload, the team's Week 9 matchup versus Seattle will be a challenging one for the 22-year-old.

Duvernay caught both of his targets for 14 yards while also adding 75 yards as a kick returner and 12 punt-return yards during Sunday's 33-30 overtime win against the Cowboys.

Duvernay reeled in his first two passes of the year while playing 34 offensive snaps in the victory. Fellow wideout Kendrick Bourne (lower leg) fractured his right tibia during the contest, and he is likely set to miss the rest of the 2026 campaign. Duvernay will likely see an increased role on offense in Bourne's absence, but he will remain an unappealing fantasy option ahead of the team's Week 9 matchup against Seattle.

Cooper caught two of six targets for 19 yards Sunday in a Week 8 loss to Washington.

Both of Cooper's catches came in the first half -- he didn't haul in any of his three targets in the second half. The second-year wideout led Eagles wideouts with 66 offensive snaps and finished second with the six targets, but it didn't amount to much production, as he couldn't form much of a connection with QB Tanner McKee. Despite an elevated role due to injuries to DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) the past two weeks, Cooper has just three catches for 36 yards in that span, making him an unappealing fantasy option.

Goodson took seven carries for 14 yards and caught both of his two targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss versus the Cardinals.

Dallas wasn't really able to get anything going on the ground in Week 8, totaling just 93 rushing yards on 39 carries. Just like the offense as a whole, Goodson found a bit more success in the passing game, and he posted his best receiving total since back in 2024. As long as starter Javonte Williams remains available, though, Goodson should stay in a change-of-pace role.

Chism caught all five of his targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 24-19 win over the Dolphins.

Chism led the team in targets and receptions with A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) unavailable. The wide receiver played a season-high 88 percent of the team's offensive snaps, and he has now reeled in 15 of 20 targets for 151 yards and a touchdown over seven regular-season contests with New England so far this year.

Kiner rushed seven times for 38 yards during Sunday's 24-19 win over Miami.

Kiner operated as the top reserve option behind starting running back Rhamondre Stevenson in Week 8 with TreVeyon Henderson (illness) sidelined. Kiner has compiled 160 rushing yards on 28 carries while reeling in his only target for seven yards over the team's last four contests, and he could earn more opportunities moving forward.

Spann-Ford caught four of five targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss versus the Cardinals.

Starting tight end Jake Ferguson was only able to log four offensive snaps before leaving Sunday's contest with an ankle injury, and Spann-Ford ended up playing a career-high 65 offensive snaps as a result. He ended up second on the team in targets behind CeeDee Lamb (11), and he could be worth a look as a streaming option in deeper formats if Ferguson is unable to suit up in Week 9 at Indianapolis.

Rolder (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

This move was anticipated, as Rolder suffered a season-ending hamstring injury in the Lions' win over Minnesota on Sunday. The rookie linebacker logged a career-high 17 defensive snaps and notched his first NFL sack in that contest, so his injury comes at an unfortunate time. Rolder will now turn his focus toward rehabbing the injury in order to be ready for offseason activities in 2027.
