Walker rushed 14 times for 36 yards while catching four of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Seahawks.

Walker was held in check by his former team after recording at least 70 rushing yards in each of his first five games with the Chiefs. The MVP of Super LX with Seattle entered play Sunday leading the league with 665 rushing yards on 6.3 yards per carry in the 2026 regular season, but he mustered just 2.6 YPC in by far his quietest performance of the season against a Seahawks defense that hasn't allowed a 100-yard rushing performance since Week 8 of the 2024 regular season. Walker has a nice bounce-back opportunity in a Week 8 road clash with the Broncos, against whom he generated 191 scrimmage yards and two total touchdowns in the season opener.

Smith-Njigba caught nine of 12 targets for 150 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Chiefs.

After leading the league in catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns through Week 6, Smith-Njigba picked up the pace with a season-high 163 scrimmage yards Sunday night. JSN scored his eighth touchdown of the season on a 28-yard catch in the second quarter, with four apiece having been thrown by Sam Darnold and Drew Lock. Smith-Njigba became the sixth player in NFL history to reach 100 receiving yards in six of his team's first seven regular-season games. He led the league in receiving yards last regular season and is showing no signs of slowing down heading into a Week 8 home game against the Bears on MNF.

Cross exited Sunday night's game against the Chiefs with an ankle injury and did not return.

With Cross out, veteran Josh Jones took over at left tackle for Seattle. Cross will have an extra day to try and get ready for next Monday night's game against the Bears.

Stafford completed 23 of 29 passes for 195 yards with three touchdowns and one interception and rushed three times for minus-3 yards in the Rams' 35-21 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Stafford was operating with a less-than-100-percent Puka Nacua (calf) and without Davante Adams (IR, hamstring), so his reduced passing yardage total wasn't entirely surprising. The reigning MVP still found a way to deliver a highly useful fantasy performance via a trio of first-half scoring strikes to Davis Allen (three, five yards) and Nacua (11 yards). Stafford also extended a streak of games with better than a 74.0 percent completion rate to three, and his 79.3 percent tally Sunday was a season-high figure. Stafford next takes aim at the Chargers defense in a Week 8 home matchup next Sunday.

Otton failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 43-13 win over the Panthers.

Otton went without a reception for the first time this season, and he has now combined to reel in one of three targets for four yards over the last two weeks. Tampa Bay leaned on the run in the return of quarterback Baker Mayfield, and Mayfield completed seven of 11 passes for just 64 yards in the victory. Otton figures to have much better days ahead as his quarterback gets back up to speed, and the tight end's first shot at getting back on track will come Week 8 against Atlanta.

Sadiq caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

With Mason Taylor dominating the targets at tight end for the Jets, Sadiq continues to fade into the background for an offense that is unable to support more than a couple pass catchers in the box score each week. Sadiq has just four catches for 21 yards over the last three weeks with Taylor back in the lineup.

Freiermuth caught two of four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Saints.

Over the last two weeks, Freiermuth has just four grabs for 31 yards on seven targets. In that same span, Darnell Washington has secured five grabs for 29 yards and two touchdowns as one of Aaron Rodgers' preferred targets in the red zone. Freiermuth is in the large bucket of touchdown-or-bust fantasy options at tight end.

Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday night's contest against the Chiefs.

Jones left the game in the second half with a hamstring injury, and he will now be forced to miss the final stretch. In his absence, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson are Seattle's only healthy options in the backfield.

Tucker secured five of 12 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 35-21 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Tucker led the Raiders in receiving yards and targets on the afternoon with a big lift from a game-long 41-yard catch and a 37-yard fourth-quarter touchdown reception. The speedy wideout has a combined 10-200-3 line over his last two games alone as he continues to take his chemistry with Kirk Cousins to new levels, and Tucker is averaging a stellar 16.3 yards per reception heading into a favorable Week 8 road matchup against the Jets next Sunday.

Johnson caught one of three targets for seven yards during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.

Johnson was held in check yet again in Week 7. The tight end has now gone three straight games without exceeding 16 receiving yards while he hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 3. Johnson has slowly become an unreliable fantasy option as the season has gone on, and he'll have the opportunity to hit the reset button during the Saints' bye week in Week 8.
