Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB | NYG
Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Exits Sunday with hamstring issue
Tracy left Sunday's game at Houston due to a hamstring injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Tracy made his way off the field slowly with 5:29 left in the second quarter and was deemed questionable to return not long afterward. At the time of his exit, he had six carries for 15 yards and one touchdown and one catch (on one target) for two yards. Cam Skattebo and Devin Singletary will handle the Giants backfield for as long as Tracy is sidelined.

Tyler Shough QB | NO
Saints' Tyler Shough: Tosses one TD in Paris
Shough completed 30 of 38 passes for 278 yards and one touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers. He added seven rushing yards on three carries.
With the Saints' ground game getting absolutely nowhere -- Shough actually led the team in rushing yards -- the second-year QB had to air it out frequently once again, but the volume didn't result in much production. Shough will head into a Week 8 bye averaging 39 pass attempts a game -- the fourth-highest mark in the league behind Matthew Stafford, Dak Prescott and Bryce Young -- to go along with a 13:6 TD:INT and 1,721 passing yards.

Chris Olave WR | NO
Saints' Chris Olave: Six grabs in Week 7 loss
Olave caught six of 10 targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.
While Olave saw a team-high 10 targets, Alvin Kamara caught one more pass and gained one more receiving yard for the team leads in those categories, while Devaughn Vele caught Tyler Shough's only TD. Olave has failed to reach 60 yards in three straight games after topping 100 in three of his first four contests this season, but he'll get a bye week to reset before facing the Browns in Week 9.

Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Goes to locker room Sunday
McCaffrey (thigh) went to the locker room during Sunday's game in Atlanta, Harrison Rich of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
McCaffrey remained on the sideline for the 49ers' third possession to get his left leg worked on, which seemingly stemmed from a hit he took on a 24-yard catch on the team's first drive. Officially questionable to return due to a thigh injury, he attempted to warm up on San Francisco's bench before jogging to the locker room in the middle of the second quarter. Kaelon Black will be the team's leading runner for as long as McCaffrey is out of the contest.

DK Metcalf WR | PIT
Steelers' DK Metcalf: Leading receiver in Week 7 win
Metcalf two of six targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Saints.
The Steelers' offense mostly flowed through its backfield, and Metcalf's 56 receiving yards actually led the team despite the fact that his two catches were a season low. The veteran wideout's target volume has been erratic this year, but he remains Aaron Rodgers' top downfield option. Metcalf will take a 32-374-1 line on 58 targets through seven games into a Week 8 clash with the Browns, who he produced a 5-115-0 line against in Week 4.

Rico Dowdle RB | PIT
Steelers' Rico Dowdle: Big volume in win over Saints
Dowdle carried the ball nine times for 41 yards and caught all six of his targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over New Orleans.
The 15 touches were a season high for Dowdle, but he still took a back seat to Jaylen Warren's 21 touches and 137 scrimmage yards in the Steelers' backfield. Dowdle also led the team in receptions on the day, and his own 86 combined yards were a season high. Pittsburgh could stay with its ground-heavy game plan in Week 8 against Cleveland, giving Dowdle some fantasy appeal even in his backup role.
-
Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT
Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Limited production in Week 7 win
Rodgers completed 19 of 30 passes for 212 passes and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Saints. He added six yards on three carries.
The Steelers' offense relied heavily on its backfield in this one, as Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle combined for 36 touches and 223 scrimmage yards. Rodgers did produce the team's only TD of the day on a four-yard toss to Darnell Washington in the second quarter. The veteran QB will take a 13:5 TD:INT through seven games into a Week 8 clash with the Browns, who Rodgers threw three touchdowns and a season-high 299 yards against in Week 4.

Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Questionable to return Sunday
McCaffrey (thigh) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest in Atlanta, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
McCaffrey appeared to take a big hit at the end of a 24-yard catch on the 49ers' first drive, but he continued to play through it until the team's third possession, when he stayed on the sideline to get worked on by the training staff. During McCaffrey's absence from the contest, rookie Kaelon Black will be San Francisco's primary running back.

Myles Price WR | MIN
Vikings' Myles Price: Returns vs. Indianapolis
Price (head) was back on the field for the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Colts, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Price was being evaluated by medical staff for a possible concussion, but he's been cleared to return to Sunday's contest. He'll see most of his playing time as a returner on special teams while operating in a rotational role on offense.
