Jordan Mason RB | MIN
Vikings' Jordan Mason: Leading rusher in return
Mason carried the ball 15 times for 68 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts. He failed to catch either of his two targets.
Making his return from an IR stint due to a thumb injury that had kept him out since Week 1, Mason ended up leading the Vikings in rushing yards after Aaron Jones aggravated a knee injury and spotted in and out of the lineup. Jones has been getting a hefty workload while Mason was sidelined, but their roles could be reversed in Week 8 against the Lions.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Paces pass catchers in win
London secured seven of 10 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 29-20 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
London contributed team-high totals in receptions, receiving yardage and targets on the afternoon, and he added his first touchdown of the season on a 21-yard grab on the first play of the fourth quarter. While the 9.4 yards per reception he averaged Sunday represented a season low, London is still averaging a career-best 16.2 yards per reception and has three straight double-digit target tallies heading into a Week 8 road divisional clash against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

Nick Folk K | ATL
Falcons' Nick Folk: Makes three field goals in win
Folk made all three of his field-goal tries while going 2-for-3 on PATs during Sunday's 29-20 win over the 49ers.
Folk was able to match his season high in field-goal makes, converting attempts from 39 and 33 yards in the first half before adding a 31-yarder to put the team up 29-20 with 1:56 left in regulation. The 41-year-old continues to be an effective short-range option for Atlanta, going 11-for-12 on field-goal attempts from less than 50 yards over seven contests this season.

Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Navigates injury in Week 7 loss
McCaffrey rushed seven times for 39 yards and a touchdown and brought in six of seven targets for 61 yards in the 49ers' 29-20 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
McCaffrey missed the entirety of the second quarter while dealing with a thigh injury, and although he was able to return and play the second half, he finished with his fewest rush attempts and rushing yardage totals of the season. McCaffrey did punch in a one-yard touchdown run that capped off the opening possession of the game, and his work as a receiver, which included a season-high receiving yardage tally, helped prop up his final fantasy line as well. McCaffrey will now have the benefit of the Week 8 bye to heal up before returning to action in a Week 9 home matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Kyler Murray QB | MIN
Vikings' Kyler Murray: Does just enough against Indy
Murray completed 14 of 24 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts. He added 39 rushing yards on five carries.
With the Vikings' defense dominating on their side of the ball, Murray's modest numbers were enough to keep the team undefeated. He did shine on a fourth-quarter drive that produced Minnesota's only TD. scrambling for a 35-yard gain to get the ball into the red zone and then finding T.J. Hockenson for a five-yard score. Murray has just a 3:2 TD:INT through five starts and has yet to add a touchdown on the ground, but he could put together his first big performance of the season in a Week 8 clash with the Lions.

Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Nails pair of long-range kicks in loss
Fairbairn went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted his only PAT in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.
Fairbairn finished off each of the Texans' first two scoring drives with field-goal makes from 58 and 57 yards in the first half. The kicker has now converted multiple field goals in four straight contests, and his last miss came all the way back in Week 2 versus Cincinnati. On the year, Fairbairn has gone 15-for-16 on field-goal tries, including 8-for-9 from 50-plus yards, while making all 16 of his extra-point attempts over seven contests so far.

Bijan Robinson RB | ATL
Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Solid production in Week 7 win
Robinson rushed 20 times for 63 yards and brought in all five targets for 59 yards in the Falcons' 29-20 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
As his rushing line suggests, Robinson was mostly held in check by a stout 49ers front. The All-Pro running back's longest run of the day went for only 12 yards, but Robinson did find a way to make up some of the fantasy production as a receiver. Robinson finished tied for second in receptions and targets while checking in as the runner-up in receiving yards for the Falcons on the afternoon, and his numbers in the first two categories were his second highest of the campaign. Robinson has seen a downturn in opportunity and production since rushing for 339 combined yards in Weeks 3 and 4, and he'll look to reverse that trend in a Week 8 road matchup against a tough Buccaneers run defense.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Makes seven kicks in blowout win
McLaughlin made both of his field-goal tries while going 5-for-5 on PATs during Sunday's 43-13 win over the Panthers.
McLaughlin was able to make multiple field goals for the second straight week and fifth time this season. The kicker converted a chip-shot 22-yard attempt in the second quarter before later adding a 44-yarder in the third quarter. McLaughlin has been far more involved in contests during which quarterback Baker Mayfield has been active, and the kicker will have a chance to make it three games in a row with multiple field-goal makes when the team hosts Atlanta in Week 8.

Derrick Henry RB | BAL
Ravens' Derrick Henry: Shut down for second straight game
Henry rushed 17 times for 45 yards and brought in one of two target for four yards in the Ravens' 35-13 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Henry averaged below 3.5 yards per carry for the second consecutive game against a divisional opponent, and Sunday's inefficiency also dropped his season per-carry average under 4.0 (3.9). The bruising back does have seven rushing touchdowns on the season, but none have come within the last three games. Henry will look to bounce back to his usual level of production in a Week 8 road showdown against an improved Bills run defense next Sunday.

Devonte Wyatt DT | GB
Packers' Devonte Wyatt: Nursing ankle injury
Wyatt (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Lions.
Wyatt suffered an ankle injury in the first half versus Detroit, and his availability for the rest of the game is now up in the air. In his absence, Anthony Campbell will stand to see an increase in workload on Green Bay's defensive line.
