Sills caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Sills played 90 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps Sunday, nearly doubling his next highest snap share this season. The 30-year-old wideout saw an increase in playing time against Miami due to No. 1 wide receiver Drake London missing the contest with a hip injury. Despite the increase in playing time, Sills and the entire Falcons offense couldn't get much going against the Dolphins defense. Sills should not be trusted for fantasy purposes, especially if London is able to make his return for a Week 9 matchup against the Patriots.

Carter rushed twice for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Carter played just two of the Falcons' 50 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as Atlanta's No. 3 running back behind both Bijan Robinson (30) and Tyler Allgeier (20). In three appearances this season, the rookie running back has played a total of 10 offensive snaps and recorded just nine carries for 60 yards. Barring an injury to Robinson or Allgeier, Carter remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Patriots.

Allgeier rushed four times for four yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Allgeier played 40 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap share of the season. The fourth-year running back's touchdown came late in the fourth quarter and was the only trip to the end zone in the contest. In what turned out to be a surprising blowout against the Dolphins, the Falcons' offense was unable to get much going against a vulnerable Miami defense. Operating as the clear backup to Bijan Robinson, Allgeier remains one of the top insurance policies in fantasy in the event that Robinson misses time due to injury. With that said, the 25-year-old backup does hold a bit of standalone value due to having a nose for the end zone in 2025. Allgeier has recorded four touchdowns so far this season, already matching a career high set in 2023 across 17 games. Next up for the Falcons is a Week 9 matchup against the Patriots.

Diaby recorded one assisted tackle during Sunday's win over the Saints.

Diaby logged his lowest statistical output of the season versus New Orleans, despite handling a normal workload (playing 70 percent of defensive snaps). He'll look to get back on track Week 9 at home against New England. Across eight regular-season appearances, Diaby has logged 23 tackles (15 solo), including 4.0 sacks, plus one forced fumble.

Dean made six tackles (five solo) and had one forced fumble during Sunday's win over New Orleans.

Dean has now racked up 24 tackles (20 solo), including 1.0 sacks, six pass breakups, including six interceptions (one pick-six), and two forced fumbles. The veteran playmaker already has new career-high marks in terms of interceptions and forced fumbles. He'll look to build on those totals versus New England in Week 9.

Bullard recorded six tackles (three solo) and one fumble recovery during Sunday's win over the Steelers.

Bullard has now recorded six or more total tackles in three straight games since Green Bay's bye in Week 5, and he's played at least 80 percent of defensive snaps in back-to-back contests. The 2024 second-round pick has 41 tackles (25 solo) and one fumble recovery across seven regular-season appearances so far, and he'll get a chance to build on those totals Week 9 at home against the Panthers.

Likely caught both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Bears.

Likely secured two targets for the second straight game and continued to play a minimal role in the Ravens' offensive attack. The 25-year-old tight end played 36 of Baltimore's 62 offensive snaps Sunday, behind Mark Andrews (37) and ahead of Charlie Kolar (25). Likely has now recorded just five catches for 26 yards through his first four games this season. As long as Andrews is healthy, Likely will have limited upside as a pass catcher and should see inconsistent usage, making him difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. With that said, the return of quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) should open up things in the passing game and lead to more opportunities for the veteran going forward. Up next for the Ravens is a Week 9 matchup against the Dolphins.

Parsons recorded one solo tackle, including 1.0 sacks, during Green Bay's win over the Steelers on Sunday.

Parsons has now brought his sack total to 6.5 across seven regular-season appearances with Green Bay. That total puts him at sixth in the league, trailing teammate Rashan Gary (7.5 sacks). Parsons will have a chance to add to his impressive numbers Week 9 at home against the Panthers. Bryce Young (ankle) could have his mobility hampered if cleared to suit up, and veteran backup Andy Dalton looked overwhelmed while taking seven sacks versus Buffalo in Week 8.

Wallace secured his one target for six yards in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Bears.

Wallace played just five of the Ravens' 62 offensive snaps Sunday. The fifth-year wide receiver continues to play a very limited role in Baltimore's offense, as his catch against the Bears was his first reception since Week 4. After playing 96 offensive snaps across the Ravens' first four games, Wallace has recorded just 16 total offensive snaps over the past three contests. Barring injuries in Baltimore's receiving corps, the 26-year-old wideout remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Dolphins.

McKinney racked up seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's win over the Steelers.

McKinney has played 100 percent of defensive snaps in all seven of Green Bay's regular-season contests thus far, recording 43 tackles (22 solo) and three pass breakups, including one interception, in that span. The standout safety will look to disrupt the rhythm of Bryce Young (ankle) or Andy Dalton, depending on which one lines up under center for the Panthers in Week 9.
