London brought in one of six targets for eight yards in the Falcons' 16-0 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Michael Penix was picked off four times by the Buccaneers' defense throughout the rainy afternoon while completing only 33.3 percent of his passes, so London's near career-worst numbers were a bit more understandable in that context. The talented wideout had come into the day with at least 62 receiving yards in five straight contests, and he should have a chance to bounce back when the Falcons face off with the Bengals in Madrid next Sunday.

Gainwell rushed 25 times for 140 yards in the Buccaneers' 16-0 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

On a bizarre afternoon where the Buccaneers became the first team since 1974 to win a game without a single completion, Gainwell and backfield Bucky Irving carried the offense on their shoulders. Gainwell logged two fewer carries and gained 30 less yards than Irving, but the former's totals were both career highs. Gainwell showed no signs of the hip injury that had plagued him during the practice week, thanks to back-to-back contests with highly unusual game scripts, the change-of-pace back has rushed for 228 yards on 39 carries over that span. Nevertheless, Gainwell still projects to serve in a clear complementary role behind Irving most weeks.

Pickens tallied two catches (on four targets) for 48 yards during Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Cardinals.

Pickens' inconsistency from week to week in 2026 continued in Week 8, as he matched his season low in receptions and ended up with his third-fewest receiving yards in a contest through the first eight games. Granted, his activity level was limited Wednesday through Friday due to shoulder and hamstring injuries, so he was operating at less than 100 percent, health-wise, Sunday. In any case, Pickens will strive for better results next Sunday on the road against the Colts.

Williams churned out 56 yards on 24 carries and notched one catch (on two targets) for one yard during Sunday's 33-30 overtime defeat to the Cardinals.

After failing to crack 20 rushes in any of the Cowboys' first six games of the season, Williams now has two such outings over the last two weeks. However, he averaged a season low in a single contest with 2.3 YPC on Sunday, and his TD streak also was snapped at five outings. Williams has a stranglehold on Dallas' backfield, with 134 carries to date, while the rest of the team's RBs have combined for 37 through eight weeks. Williams will seek better results next Sunday versus the wayward Colts in the road.

Flowers failed to bring in any of his five targets in the Ravens' 36-10 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Lamar Jackson suffered a thumb injury on his first pass attempt, and Tyler Huntley subsequently exited the game with a toe injury before halftime after putting the ball up just four times in his own right. That left the offense in the hands of emergency quarterback Joe Fagnano for the rest of the afternoon, and Flowers unsurprisingly failed to gain any traction. Flowers was held without a catch for the first time in his career, and with Jackson reportedly headed to injured reserve, Flowers' best chance at fantasy relevance over the next several games will seemingly be tied into Huntley's availability and/or the Ravens signing a veteran signal-caller as a free agent.

Lamb recorded seven catches (on 11 targets) for 58 yards during Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Cardinals.

QB Dak Prescott and the Cowboys' passing game couldn't get much going against Arizona's defense throughout Week 8, and Lamb thus put together one of his least productive outings of the campaign. Despite the very modest performance for his standard, Lamb still has a standout 60-709-6 line on 92 targets through the first eight contests, setting himself up nicely for his sixth consecutive 1,000-yard campaign. He next takes aim at the stumbling Colts next Sunday on the road.

Campbell (neck) will remain in a local hospital Sunday night.

Campbell suffered a neck injury and was placed on a backboard before being carted off the field in the third quarter of Sunday's 19-15 win over the Vikings. The linebacker will undergo additional evaluation and be monitored by hospital staff overnight.

Omenihu (groin/ankle) is active for Sunday night's contest against the Eagles.

Omenihu will return to action in Week 8 after missing two straight contests with a pair of groin and ankle injuries. The 29-year-old will be back in a prominent role on the defensive line versus Philadelphia.

Henry (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game at Miami.

Henry exited in the first half of this Week 8 matchup and eventually was ruled out midway through the fourth quarter, ending it with three catches (on three targets) for 30 yards. Eli Raridon will act as the Patriots' top pass-catching tight end for as long as Henry is sidelined.

Kaliakmanis (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Commanders' emergency third quarterback Sunday night against the Eagles.

Kaliakmanis will operate as QB3 behind Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota in Week 8. He'll only be eligible to play if both Daniels and Mariota are forced out of the contest.
