  • Jauan Jennings WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jauan Jennings: Produces 34 yards in Week 7 win

    Jennings caught two of three targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts.

    The veteran wideout entered Week 7 with just two catches for nine yards across four games, so this counts as a breakout game for Jennings. He's running plenty of routes alongside Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison at receiver, but Jennings is deep down the list for targets in Minnesota. He's not a recommended fantasy play for next Sunday against the Lions' leaky secondary.

  • Kirk Cousins QB | LV

    Raiders' Kirk Cousins: Just under 300 passing yards in loss

    Cousins completed 26 of 44 passes for 295 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing three times for six yards in the Raiders' 35-21 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

    With the Raiders trailing throughout, Cousins had another very busy day and finished with his third-highest passing yardage total of the season. Cousins also threw multiple touchdown passes for the sixth time in seven games, connecting with Tre Tucker (37 yards) and Ashton Jeanty (15 yards) for fourth-quarter scoring strikes. The veteran signal-caller continues to show excellent command of Klint Kubiak's offense, as he connected with eight different targets in the high-scoring loss. Cousins has compiled 1,877 passing yards and generated a 16:5 TD:INT through his first seven games heading into a Week 8 road matchup against the Jets next Sunday.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Ruled out for remainder of SNF

    Shaheed (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Shaheed didn't return after halftime due to a knee injury. The wide receiver and standout special teams return man will have an extra day to recover before the Seahawks face the Bears on MNF in Week 8.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Over 100 scrimmage yards in win

    Corum rushed 17 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for eight yards in the Rams' 35-21 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Corum led the Rams in rush attempts and was a close runner-up to Kyren Williams in rushing yards. Corum, like Williams, crossed the goal line as well, recording a four-yard touchdown run with 6:34 remaining in the fourth quarter. Corum's carry and yardage totals were also season highs, but given he'd logged single-digit rush attempts in each of the prior four games, he's more likely than not to continue operating in a clear complementary role behind Williams on most weeks.

  • Raiders' Michael Mayer: Three catches in Week 7 loss

    Mayer caught all three targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Rams.

    After his big Week 6 in which Mayer caught seven of nine targets for 95 yards against the Bills, Mayer faded into the background against Los Angeles, as Tre Tucker (5-103-1 receiving), Brock Bowers (6-73-0) and Ashton Jeanty (8-61-1) accounted for most of the production in the passing game for the Raiders. Mayer will be a fantasy TE1/2 for next Sunday's game against the Jets.

  • Titans' Wan'Dale Robinson: Minimal production in loss

    Robinson caught four of seven targets for seven yards during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Browns.

    Robinson garnered exactly seven targets for the third straight week, but his seven receiving yards were a new season low for the wideout. Robinson is pretty much limited to short and intermediate routes, and as a result, he has a rather low floor from a fantasy perspective. On the year, the wide receiver has reeled in 29 of 44 targets for 205 yards and two touchdowns over seven contests so far.

  • Raiders' Mike Washington: Leads team with 27 rushing yards in loss

    Washington rushed six times for 27 yards in Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Rams.

    Despite dealing with foot and back injuries throughout the practice week, Washington played against Los Angeles and handled his normal workload behind starter Ashton Jeanty. Even though Jeanty again handled more carries, Washington ended up leading the team in rushing yards on a day the Raiders ran for just 48 yards. Washington is pushing Jeanty for more rushing work, but it's not enough at this point to warrant starting the rookie running back in fantasy.

  • Gunnar Helm TE | TEN

    Titans' Gunnar Helm: Three catches in Week 7 defeat

    Helm caught three of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Browns.

    They marked the tight end's first catches since Week 4, as he went back-to-back games without a grab in Weeks 5 and 6 against the Texans and Colts. Helm has yet to reach 30 yards in a game this season and is well off the fantasy radar in one of the league's worst passing offenses.

  • Denzel Boston WR | CLE

    Browns' Denzel Boston: Quiet again in Week 7 win

    Boston caught just three of eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans.

    The wide receiver was the favorite for the Offensive Rookie of the Year after the first five weeks of the season, but he's now posted back-to-back subpar games against the Ravens and Titans. During those two contests, Boston has four catches for 42 yards on 13 targets. He's been extremely inefficient with his looks and isn't getting loose for big plays over the top of the defense. He'll try to get back on track next Sunday in Pittsburgh.

  • Dalton Schultz TE | HOU

    Texans' Dalton Schultz: Paces Houston in receiving and targets

    Schultz caught five of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.

    The veteran tight end paced the Texans with his six targets, matching Xavier Hutchinson, as the duo saw one more than Nico Collins on a day C.J. Stroud targeted nine different pass catchers. Schultz is still looking for his first touchdown of the season and has settled in as a low-ceiling fantasy tight end.
