Fannin caught six of nine targets for 91 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans.

The second-year tight end delivered a season high in receiving yards, and Fannin's last catch was his biggest. With the game tied at 24-24 in the final minute of the fourth quarter, Fannin took a short pass over the middle from Deshaun Watson and tacked on about 30 yards after the catch to set up Andre Szmyt's game-winning field goal. Fannin will take a 25-257-3 line on 39 targets through seven games into a Week 8 clash with the Steelers.

Johnson (stinger/neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Rams.

Johnson suffered a similar injury in Week 5 versus the Patriots, and his status for the rest of Week 7 is now in question. The linebacker is primarily a special-teams asset, so his absence doesn't carry much of an impact on the defensive effort versus Los Angeles.

Nwosu (hip) is active for Sunday Night Football versus Kansas City.

Nwosu is good to go for Week 7, as expected. The linebacker failed to record a tackle for the first time this season in the team's Week 6 loss to the Broncos, and he figures to have plenty of chances to get back on track against the Chiefs.

Sneed (knee) is active for Sunday night's game against the Seahawks.

Sneed stayed back in Kansas City due to personal reasons but flew out on his own this weekend and is good to go for Sunday night. The veteran cornerback has appeared in all five games this season, logging 30 tackles (20 solo), three pass breakups and two forced fumbles.

Sampson carried the ball six times for 45 yards and caught all three of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans.

Seeing his first action since Week 1, and his first offensive snaps of the season, after recovering from a knee injury, Sampson saw nine touches to Quinshon Judkins' 18 in impressive performances from both. Sampson is the clear No. 2 RB when the Browns' backfield is at 100 percent, but there could be enough volume for Sampson to have fantasy value in that role given the team's fairly underpowered aerial attack. Sampson will look to stay productive in Week 8 against the Steelers.

Nussmeier (coach's decision) is inactive as the emergency third quarterback for Sunday night's game against the Seahawks.

The rookie seventh-round pick continues to sit behind Patrick Mahomes and Justin Fields to begin the season.

Pitts brought in all five targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 29-20 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

Pitts tied for second in receptions and targets for the Falcons on the afternoon, but he averaged just 4.4 yards per catch. However, the veteran tight end did score for the third consecutive game, recording a five-yard touchdown catch with just under nine minutes remaining in the third quarter. Pitts' production will inevitably fluctuate week to week, but he's clearly established himself as a reliable red-zone target for Michael Penix heading into a Week 8 road matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

Emmanwori (hip) is active for Sunday night's contest against the Chiefs.

Emmanwori was dealing with an apparent hip injury during the team's final practice of the week Friday, but he is now good to go to play in Week 7. The safety has compiled 20 total tackles (15 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed over the last three contests, and he'll have a tough test Sunday night against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City's offense.

Rakestraw exited Sunday's game against the Packers with an ankle injury and is questionable to return.

Prior to leaving in the second half, the cornerback recorded two tackles. Rock Ya-Sin and Khalil Dorsey would be in line for increased snaps at cornerback the rest of the way against Green Bay.

O'Toole (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.

The second-year linebacker has played almost exclusively on special teams across 12 career regular-season appearances. He has three tackles (one solo) across four games this season.
