Tonges logged eight snaps on offense (12 percent) and was not targeted in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Falcons.

George Kittle (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve for Sunday's contest, which pushed Tonges back down to third on the tight end depth chart. Luke Farrell (33 percent) finished second in playing time behind Kittle (81 percent), as it appears that the coaching staff prefers the former's blocking in the No. 2 role over Tonges' play-making ability. Tonges did an admirable job filling in for Kittle, producing a 25-224-3 receiving line in five-plus games played. Fantasy managers can safely move on from Tonges in Week 8, but he is a name to remember for any games Kittle might miss in the future.

Mitchell had one reception for eight yards on his only target in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers.

A healthy inactive for the Colts' Week 6 win over the Cardinals, Mitchell was back in the mix Sunday but handled only a light role on offense. The second-year wideout played just five snaps, and the Colts turned to Anthony Gould as their No. 3 receiver ahead of him while Josh Downs (concussion) and Ashton Dulin (chest) were both out with injuries. Gould took the field for 39 of the offense's 60 snaps.

Coach Kellen Moore said Monday that Rattler remains the Saints' starting quarterback despite turning the ball over four times in Sunday's loss to the Bears, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

When asked if the team needs to get a look at rookie Tyler Shough at some point this season, Moore said that will be a "week-to-week thing," according to Underhill. Rattler tossed three interceptions and lost one fumble against Chicago, but prior to Week 7 he'd only thrown one pick and lost zero fumbles. If Rattler can get back to taking care of the football, he should have a longer leash under center. However, he still offers minimal fantasy appeal.

Gould took the field for 39 of the Colts' 60 snaps on offense and finished with one reception for three yards on his only target in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers.

Gould moved into the No. 3 receiver role ahead of Adonai Mitchell while the Colts were without Josh Downs (concussion) and Ashton Dulin (chest). Gould likely will return to a special teams role as a return man once the Colts get one of Downs or Dulin back in the lineup.

Jackson (hamstring) is not on the field for Monday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Jackson remains sidelined at practice despite the Ravens coming off a Week 7 bye, though head coach John Harbaugh said that "the hope" is that the franchise quarterback will be back in the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Chicago, per Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com. That said, Baltimore's first official practice of Week 8 will occur Wednesday, so the team may simply be taking a cautious approach with Jackson's activity until then. In any case, fantasy managers will need to monitor Jackson's practice status closely, as, if he were unable to suit up against the Bears, the Ravens would have to turn to either Cooper Rush or Tyler Huntley for a start. Jackson hasn't logged practice activity since injuring his hamstring Week 4 against the Chiefs.

Robinson carried the ball nine times for 36 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 20-10 win over Atlanta.

Robinson's 36 rushing yards Sunday set a new high-water mark for the backup rusher through seven appearances with the 49ers. The nine carries tied his previous high set back in Week 1. This comes on the heels of a zero-carry outing against the Buccaneers last week. It makes sense that Robinson would see an uptick in usage in games that the 49ers play with a lead for most of the contest. While a similar situation could arise in a winnable matchup against the Texans next Sunday, Robinson is unlikely to sniff double-digit touches in his current role working behind Christian McCaffrey.

Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Wilson will compete with rookie Quinn Ewers this week for Miami's No. 2 quarterback role, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports.

Wilson served as the Dolphins' top reserve quarterback in each of the team's first six games but was demoted ahead of the Week 7 loss to the Browns. Ewers entered Sunday's contest in the fourth quarter, completing five of eight pass attempts for 53 yards and fumbling twice on just 12 offensive snaps. Wilson will now have the opportunity to compete for that No. 2 QB spot again after throwing for 6,325 yards, 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions over 35 career games.

Pace was benched in Sunday's loss to the Eagles in favor of Eric Wilson with Blake Cashman returning from injured reserve, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Pace didn't play a snap on defense but logged 23 snaps on special teams. He had 10 missed tackles in the five previous game, according to Pro Football Focus, which could have been a factor. He could get back into the mix at some point if there's an injury or the Vikings use three-linebacker formations.

Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Ewers will compete with Zach Wilson this week for the Dolphins' backup quarterback position, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

The rookie from Texas had served as the Dolphins' emergency third quarterback in each of the team's first six games but was promoted to the backup role in Week 7. Ewers entered Sunday's loss in the fourth quarter, completing five of eight pass attempts for 53 yards. However, his ball-security issues likely contributed to McDaniel's decision to open a competition for the No. 2 QB position, as Ewers fumbled twice on just 12 offensive snaps, though neither were recovered by the defense.

Coach Kellen Moore confirmed Monday that Miller (knee) will miss the remainder of the season, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Miller suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Bears, which knocks him out for the rest of the 2025 campaign. He had been operating as a sort of 1B to Alvin Kamara's 1A in the New Orleans backfield, totaling a 47-193-1 rushing line across seven contests. With Miller now done for the year, rookie Devin Neal figures to slot in as the RB2 for the Saints. A third-round pick in the 2023 Draft, Miller is under contract through the 2026 season.
