    Ravens' Malaki Starks: Ties season high with 10 stops Week 8

    Starks finished Sunday's loss to Buffalo with 10 tackles (five solo).

    Starks was quite active as a tackler, finishing second on the Ravens in stops behind Roquan Smith (11). It was the second time Starks has notched double-digit tackles in a game this season, though he's averaged a more modest 5.2 stops in his other six games. With 51 total tackles through eight contests, he's on pace to exceed the 84 stops he recorded across 17 regular-season games as a rookie last year.

  • Zakee Wheatley SAF | CAR

    Panthers' Zakee Wheatley: Secures interception in loss

    Wheatley recorded seven total tackles (four solo) and an interception during Thursday night's 27-19 loss to the Packers.

    Wheatley was able to secure a career-high seven stops while his biggest play of the game came in the fourth quarter when he picked off a deep pass from Packers quarterback Jordan Love. The interception was the first of the Wheatley's career, and the rookie has now compiled 26 total tackles (19 solo), four passes defensed and a forced fumble over six contests during the 2026 campaign.

  • Foye Oluokun LB | JAC

    Jaguars' Foyesade Oluokun: Notches sack in blowout win

    Oluokun recorded nine total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 42-7 win against the Colts.

    Oluokun led the team in takedowns, notching at least eight tackles for the third straight game. The linebacker was also able to get to quarterback Daniel Jones for his first sack of the year in the second quarter, matching his season total from both the 2024 and 2025 campaigns. Oluokun is as steady as it gets from a fantasy perspective, and he has now registered 51 total tackles (31 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding two interceptions and a forced fumble over seven contests to open the regular season.

  • Josh Cameron WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Josh Cameron: Doesn't haul in only target Week 8

    Cameron did not catch his lone target in a 42-7 rout of the Colts on Sunday. He returned one punt for six yards and one kickoff for 18 yards.

    Jacksonville didn't need to go to its air game much given the easy win, and QB Trevor Lawrence threw just 14 passes. None of those went to Cameron -- his only target (which he didn't catch) came from backup signal-caller Quinn Ewers in garbage time. Cameron did log a season-high 52 percent offensive snap share, but game script didn't do him any favors in terms of production. With no catches in three of his seven games this season, Cameron doesn't make for an appealing fantasy asset.

  • Rayuan Lane III SAF | JAC

    Jaguars' Rayuan Lane: Secures pick-six in victory

    Lane recorded four total tackles (one solo) and three passes defensed, including a pick-six, during Sunday's 42-7 win over the Colts.

    Lane played every one of the team's defensive snaps in Week 8, stepping into a starting role in the secondary with Antonio Johnson (ankle) unavailable. The 23-year-old's biggest moment of the game came in the second quarter when he jumped in front of a pass from Colts quarterback Daniel Jones for an interception, returning it 92 yards for his first career defensive touchdown. Lane has now compiled 20 total tackles (10 solo) and four passes defensed, including Sunday's pick-six, over seven contests during the 2026 campaign.

  • Jack Bech WR | LV

    Raiders' Jack Bech: Gets no targets in return

    Bech finished without a target or touch in Sunday's 38-33 Week 8 win over the Jets.

    Bech returned from a four-game absence due to a forearm injury and logged a 40 percent offensive snap share, but he didn't get any looks from QB Kirk Cousins. In fact, Cousins didn't go to his wideout corps as a whole very often -- 16 of his 26 targets went to tight ends, and another four went to running back Ashton Jeanty. Bech will look to get back into the box score Sunday in a Week 9 matchup in San Francisco.

  • Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Two offensive snaps versus Rams

    Lambert-Smith did not garner a target during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Rams.

    Lambert-Smith was expected to revert back to a minimal role on offense in Week 8 due to both Ladd McConkey and Tre' Harris returning to action, and that is exactly what happened. Lambert-Smith played just two offensive snaps in the contest, and he will continue to have little to no fantasy value as long as the rest of the Chargers' primary pass catchers are healthy.

  • Tez Johnson WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Tez Johnson: No catches in Week 8

    Johnson did not garner a target during Sunday's 16-0 win over the Falcons.

    Johnson and the rest of the Buccaneers' pass catchers went without receptions in Week 8 as quarterback Baker Mayfield failed to complete a pass on three attempts in the team's rain-soaked victory. The wide receiver may have another chance to operate in a prominent role on offense if fellow wideout Emeka Egbuka (foot) remains unavailable Sunday versus the Bears.

  • Tyler Higbee TE | LAR

    Rams' Tyler Higbee: Another quiet performance Week 8

    Higbee caught one of two targets for 14 yards against the Chargers in Sunday's 24-9 victory.

    Higbee logged a hearty 83 percent offensive snap share, most among Rams tight ends. However, he got little attention from quarterback Matthew Stafford, recording just two targets. Higbee had a nice run in Weeks 3-5, when he logged 18 catches for 212 yards across the three-game span. However, since then he's posted just seven receptions for 50 yards across his subsequent three contests. As such, it's hard to trust Higbee on a week-to-week basis right now even with the Rams down multiple pass catchers in Davante Adams (hamstring - IR), Terrance Ferguson (ankle - IR) and Colby Parkinson (ribs).

  • Colts' Laquon Treadwell: One catch in Week 8

    Treadwell caught one of two targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 42-7 loss to the Jaguars.

    Treadwell failed to record multiple receptions in a game for the first time since Week 3 against Houston. The wide receiver could be set to operate in a more prominent role if the team decides to deal fellow wideout Josh Downs prior to the trade deadline Nov. 10. For the time being, Treadwell doesn't figure to have much fantasy appeal Sunday against the Cowboys.
