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

Collins was surprisingly quiet as C.J. Stroud spread the ball out to nine different targets, including six wide receivers. Collins remains atop the wide receiver depth chart and hadn't dipped below 55 receiving yards in a regular-season appearance since Week 7 of last season. The star wideout's recent track record suggests Collins will likely bounce back in Week 9 against the Chargers following Houston's Week 8 bye.

Irving rushed 24 times for 106 yards and two touchdowns while bringing in one of two targets for four yards in the Buccaneers' 43-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that stayed with Tampa Bay.

Irving put together a vintage performance on the ground on his way to his second 100-yard effort of the season, both which have come within the last three games. The versatile back was surprisingly involved sparsely as a pass catcher, but Irving helped stake the Buccaneers to a commanding lead with four- and one-yard touchdown runs in the first half. It marked Irving's first multi-TD day of the season on the ground, and he'll next take aim at the defense of another divisional opponent in the Falcons at home next Sunday.

Jones completed 13 of 22 passes for 108 yards with an interception in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings. He added 13 yards on four carries.

Whatever Jones learned during his brief time under Minnesota coach Kevin O'Connell at the end of the 2024 season didn't help him figure out Brian Flores' defense. The QB posted a season low in passing yards, and he failed to throw a touchdown for the third time in seven starts this season. Jones will take a miserable 4:7 TD:INT into a Week 8 tilt against the Jaguars.

Thomas (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Rams.

Thomas suffered a shoulder injury early in the first half, and his status for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer will continue to operate as the Raiders' primary options at tight end.

Skattebo told Dan Graziano of ESPN after Sunday's 27-21 overtime win at Houston that he "felt something in his hamstring" during his final carry of the game.

One week removed from not receiving a touch while playing six offensive snaps in a loss to the Saints, Skattebo was back in the saddle in the Giants backfield this Sunday, turning 17 rushes into 124 yards and one touchdown and gathering in his only target for minus-3 yards. Meanwhile, fellow RBs Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy (hamstring) combined for 15 touches in Week 7. Both Skattebo and Tracy emerged from this contest with health concerns, but with a Week 8 bye on tap for New York, both players will have time to rest up for the team's next game Sunday, Nov. 8 in Philadelphia.

Taylor carried the ball 18 times for 95 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings.

The Colts managed only 218 yards of offense in total, and Taylor had nearly as many rushing yards as Daniel Jones had passing yards. Taylor also scored his team's only TD on a 38-year-old dash in the first quarter. The star RB is still looking for his first 100-yard rushing performance of the season, but he's topped 90 yards in five of seven games and has produced 100-plus scrimmage yards four times while racking up eight scores on the ground. Taylor will face another tough run defense in Week 8 versus the Jaguars.

Noel (toe) was seen in a walking boot after Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Noel suffered a toe injury in the fourth quarter of Week 7 action and didn't return, finishing with two catches (on two targets) for minus-3 yards. He wasn't able to parlay his 107-yard outing from Week 6 against the Jaguars in London into any success this Sunday, and he now be in danger of missing time.

Douglas (ankle) caught two of three targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Jets.

Douglas made an immediate impact in his first action since Week 2. The rookie third-round pick capped the game's first drive with a seven-yard touchdown catch for his first NFL TD, then stayed in along the sideline to score again on a 63-yard catch-and-run in the fourth quarter. Miami utilizes a run-heavy approach when possible, but the Dolphins may be forced to throw more if they fall behind as expected in Week 8 against the Patriots, which could lead to more opportunities for Douglas.

Willis completed 14 of 21 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns while rushing six times for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Jets.

Willis gave the Dolphins their first lead of the season with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Caleb Douglas on the opening drive. After the Jets tied the game on the ensuing possession, Miami reclaimed the lead with a one-yard Ollie Gordon touchdown run, and Willis extended the advantage to 14 points with a two-yard touchdown run in the waning seconds of the first half. Miami's offense stalled for most of the second half until Willis found Douglas for a 63-yard catch and run to take a 28-17 lead with 4:44 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Jets scored on their next drive, but Willis sealed his first win as Miami's QB with a successful fourth-down QB sneak to pick up a first down and set up victory formation. Up next for Willis and the 1-5 Dolphins is a Week 8 home game against the Patriots.

Smith completed 23 of 30 passes for 287 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins. He also rushed twice for no gain and threw a successful two-point conversion.

Smith matched Miami's opening-drive touchdown with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Mason Taylor on the Jets' first drive, but the veteran QB threw an interception deep in Dolphins territory on the next drive. The Jets trailed for the entirety of the last three quarters, allowing Smith to rack up some big numbers during their failed comeback bid, as he posted his second three-touchdown performance of the season. He found Omar Cooper for a three-yard touchdown in the third quarter after they connected for a 60-yard gain earlier on that drive, and Smith threw a 12-yard touchdown and two-point conversion, both to Taylor, to round out the scoring with 3:24 remaining in the fourth, but the Dolphins ran out the clock from there to drop the Jets to 2-5 heading into a Week 8 home game against the Raiders.
