Little nailed all six extra-point attempts in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Colts.

The kicker did not get a field-goal attempt, but he was the beneficiary of an offense that scored six touchdowns. Little has connected on 22 of 23 extra-point tries in 2026, though he only has 12 total field-goal attempts.

Ridley caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 43-36 overtime loss to the Bengals.

Ridley has been a total non-factor all season and remains likely to be dealt ahead of next week's trade deadline, if there's a team willing to take on the remainder of his $5.49 million salary for this season. He doesn't appear to have much left in the tank at 31 years old.

Davis rushed five times for 15 yards in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.

With Breece Hall (quad) missing another game, Davis handled RB2 duties behind workhorse Braelon Allen. Davis has totaled 15 carries for 44 empty yards this season, adding five catches for 68 yards. Hall is expected to return for Week 9 against the Chiefs, which would relegate Davis to the RB3 role.

Szmyt made both of his field-goal attempts in the Browns' 27-6 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Szmyt converted his 31-yard and 32-yard field-goal attempts in the second quarter of Sunday's contest. The kicker accounted for all six of the Browns' points in the divisional loss. Szmyt is now 16-for-18 on field-goal attempts and 11-for-12 on PATs through eight regular-season games in 2026.

Mendoza didn't play in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets.

With Kirk Cousins helping orchestrate a second-half comeback, Mendoza stayed glued to the sideline for the third straight contest after playing 10 offensive snaps in Week 5 against New England. The Raiders are 4-4 with Cousins playing reasonably well to keep the team in the postseason mix. Mendoza figures to get his shot if/when the Raiders are eliminated from postseason contention.

Restrepo reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

All 19 of Restrepo's snaps in Week 8 came on special teams, and he recorded two solo tackles in that phase. With rookie first-rounder Carnell Tate (shoulder) expected back after Tennessee's bye in Week 9, Restrepo's path to snaps at wide receiver isn't getting any easier to see.

Johnson reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Johnson's third consecutive elevation to the active roster results in his first target and catch for nine yards. The wide receiver will now need to be signed to the 53-man roster to suit up for the Steelers in any future 2026 regular-season contests.

Taylor caught three of five targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.

It was a step back for Taylor after he caught all five of his targets for 62 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Dolphins, but he still remained the top tight end in the pecking order. Taylor out-targeted Kenyon Sadiq five to two and ran 19 routes to the rookie's 15 on Geno Smith's 35 dropbacks. Taylor is a touchdown-reliant TE2 for fantasy purposes.

Mitchell reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Mitchell was heavily involved in Philadelphia's loss at Washington in Week 8, carrying the ball 11 times for 34 yards and adding four catches on six targets for three yards. Starter Saquon Barkley was in and out of Sunday's contest with a back injury, and he was less effective than Mitchell as a rusher. Mitchell can be elevated from the practice squad once more this season before the Eagles would have to sign him to the active roster for him to be allowed to suit up for regular-season games.

Sadiq caught one of two targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.

The rookie tight end played 31 of 64 offensive snaps against Las Vegas and ran just 15 routes on Geno Smith's 35 dropbacks. He continues to play behind Mason Taylor, who recorded three grabs for 19 yards on five targets across 19 routes. The Jets are using four tight ends on game days, and this offense isn't able to support more than a couple pass catchers for fantasy each week. Outside of his 7-105-1 receiving performance in Week 3 against the Lions, Sadiq has a total of 10 catches for 79 yards across his seven other contests.
