Coach Dan Quinn said after Sunday's loss to the Cowboys that Daniels will undergo an MRI on his injured hamstring Monday, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Quinn said Daniels wanted to go back in the game against Dallas, but the Commanders ultimately opted to hold him out with Washington trailing by multiple scores. The Commanders have an extra day of rest ahead of next Monday night's Week 8 date with the Chiefs. If Daniels is deemed unfit to play against Kansas City, Marcus Mariota would draw the start under center.

Pierce caught five of 10 targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers.

The fourth-year wideout paced the Colts in targets and receiving yards on the day as he works to build downfield chemistry with Daniel Jones. Pierce's catches, yards and targets were all season highs, and through five appearances this season he's posted a 16-317-0 line on 27 targets. He'll look to make an impact as a deep threat again in Week 8 against the Titans.

Fields completed six of 12 passes for 46 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers. He rushed the ball four times for 22 yards.

Fields struggled to get the offense moving, as the Jets picked up only six first downs and 97 net yards through the first two quarters. He was benched coming out of the half in favor of Tyrod Taylor, though Taylor wasn't much more effective, throwing two interceptions to doom any chance of a Jets comeback. After the game, coach Aaron Glenn didn't commit to a quarterback for the Jets' Week 8 matchup against the Bengals, instead saying it would be a position he needs to evaluate, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.

Warren caught four of five targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers.

The rookie tight end saw modest target volume, but he finished second in receiving yards on the Colts behind Alec Pierce and hit paydirt for a fourth straight week (the first one being a rushing touchdown) when he connected with Daniel Jones for a five-yard score in the second quarter. Warren has quickly become a key part of a dominant offense, posting a 33-439-3 line on 45 targets through his first seven NFL games. He'll look to make another visit to the end zone in Week 8 against a Titans defense that held him to a 3-38-0 line in their first meeting back in Week 3.

Williams took 19 carries for 116 yards and a touchdown while adding one reception (on four targets) for two yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over Washington.

Williams got back on track following last week's dud against Carolina (13-29-0) with his second 100-plus yard rushing game of the year. The 25-year-old kicked off the scoring with a short touchdown scamper on the Cowboys' opening drive, then proceeded to eat chunks of yardage throughout the contest. Williams is experiencing a true breakout fantasy campaign with a stellar 111-592-6 rushing line off of a career-best 5.3 YPC through seven starts in 2025. The 2021 second-round pick will get a chance to flex his newfound success against the team that drafted him when the Cowboys visit the Broncos next Sunday.

McMillan recorded three receptions on five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.

McMillan got the attention of Sauce Gardner (concussion) for most of the game, which led to limited opportunity and production. Ultimately, he was held to five targets and three receptions for the second consecutive game, combining to record only 62 yards in that span. Things could open a bit for McMillan in Week 8 against Buffalo, as the Panthers will almost certainly have to have an effective passing attack to have hope of keeping pace in the contest.

Pittman caught seven of nine targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers. He also caught a two-point conversion.

The veteran wideout led the Colts in catches, although both Alec Pierce and Tyler Warren hauled in more yardage, and Pittman capped his day with a four-yard TD from Daniel Jones in the second quarter. Pittman has yet to top 80 receiving yards in a game this season, as the Indy offense has mainly run through Jonathan Taylor, but the former has had a nose for the end zone, compiling a 35-351-5 line on 47 targets through seven contests. Pittman could be in line to make a splash again in Week 8 against the Titans.

Taylor carried the ball 16 times for 94 yards and three touchdowns and caught all three of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers.

The Colts offense just keeps on rolling, and Taylor has been its engine, scoring from 23 yards out in the first quarter Sunday before dashing for eight and 19-yard scores in the third. It's the third time in seven games this season that Taylor has gotten into the end zone three times, en route to an NFL-best 11 TDs in total (10 rushing, one receiving) and 882 yards from scrimmage. He seems unlikely to be slowed down in Week 8 by the Titans.

Coach Jonathan Gannon said after Sunday's loss to the Packers that Murray (foot) remains the Cardinals' starting quarterback when healthy, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Murray suffered a mid-foot sprain in the Week 5 loss to the Titans, and Jacoby Brissett has started the last two contests, both narrow losses to the Colts and Packers by a combined eight points. Brissett again had Arizona competitive Sunday against Green Bay, completing 25 of 36 pass attempts for 279 yards and two touchdowns, adding six rushing attempts for 26 yards with his legs. In two starts under center, Brissett has completed 52 of 80 passes for 599 yards, four touchdowns and just one interception. He's rushed nine times for 45 yards. The Cardinals have looked more competitive with Brissett at the controls, but Murray still has his coach's support as the starter. Arizona has a Week 8 bye before going on the road to face Dallas in Week 9.

Jones completed 23 of 34 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers. He added seven rushing yards on five carries and threw a two-point conversion to Michael Pittman.

The 28-year-old QB threw multiple TD passes for a third straight game, hitting Pittman and Tyler Warren for scores in the red zone during the second quarter. Jones might have posted even better numbers in a more competitive contest, but the Colts focused on killing the clock in the fourth quarter after building a 38-17 lead. Jones already appears to be almost a shoe-in for the Comeback Player of the Year Award after seven weeks in charge of the Indy offense, leading the team to an NFL-best 6-1 record, and he'll take a 71.0 percent completion rate and 10:3 TD:INT into a Week 8 meeting with the Titans.
