Brown caught two of five targets for 13 yards and carried once for seven yards during Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Seahawks.

The 26-year-old tied for third on the team in targets but finished below 20 receiving yards for his third consecutive contest. Brown totaled eight receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown in the first two weeks of the season, but he has just six catches for 35 yards across his past three games.

Rush completed 11 of 19 passes for 72 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Rams. He also had one rush for zero yards while losing a fumble.

Rush drew his second straight start in the absence of Lamar Jackson (hamstring). He ran a decent first possession that resulted in a field goal, completing both of his passes for 12 yards while also scrambling for seven. However, he was intercepted on Baltimore's following drive and the team had several additional miscues before Rush was finally pulled after losing a fumble deep in Rams territory late in the third quarter. Jackson is expected back in Week 8 following Baltimore's bye, and Rush could be in danger of being demoted to the third-string quarterback.

Patrick caught his lone target for a 26-yard touchdown during Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Seahawks.

The veteran wideout was once again minimally involved in Jacksonville's passing game, but he took advantage of his lone target for his first touchdown of the campaign. Patrick has received exactly one target in five straight contests and doesn't have much fantasy utility in his current role as a depth receiver.

Perine rushed the ball six times for 16 yards in Sunday's 28-17 loss to the Packers. He added two receptions on three targets for 16 yards.

Perine saw a season-high six carries and eight total touches, as he continued to even the workload with Chase Brown. Perine hasn't proven capable of putting up viable fantasy performances to this point, with Sunday representing his highest yardage output. Nevertheless, it will be worth monitoring how touches are distributed in the Cincinnati backfield moving forward.

Tuten carried twice for 14 yards and caught two of three targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Seahawks.

The rookie fourth-round pick continues to operate as Jacksonville's No. 2 tailback but saw his smallest workload since the season opener Sunday. Tuten showcased his potential upside in Week 2 with 10 touches for 74 yards, but in the ensuing four contests he's totaled just 16 carries for 55 yards and four receptions for 27 yards. He's likely to remain in a limited role as long as Travis Etienne remains healthy.

Higgins recorded five receptions on eight targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 27-18 loss to the Packers.

This was far from a standout performance from Higgins, but it did represent his highest reception and yardage totals of the season. He narrowly missed out on a more impressive fantasy showing, as he was dragged down at Green Bay's one-yard line on a 13-yard reception midway through the third quarter. Higgins was evaluated for a concussion due to the tackle on that same play but was cleared to return without missing a full possession. The Cincinnati offense is still likely to be inconsistent, but Joe Flacco prioritized getting the ball to Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase in his Bengals debut, which has improved the outlook for the star pass catchers.

Doubs recorded five catches on nine targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 27-18 win over the Bengals.

Doubs was Jordan Love's top target in Sunday's win, leading the team in targets. He converted that into his third performance of 50 or more receiving yards this season, thanks to long gains of 21 and 15 yards. Doubs isn't likely to turn in huge fantasy performances often thanks to the emergence of Matthew Golden and Tucker Kraft, but it's clear he has rapport and the trust of Love, which should be enough to keep Doubs involved in the offense.

McLaughlin went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs in Sunday's 30-19 win over the 49ers.

McLaughlin missed a 49-yard field-goal try early in the fourth quarter before making a 45-yarder later in the period. The kicker has had a rollercoaster ride of a season to this point, making 13 of 17 field-goal attempts, including 4-for-4 from 50-plus yards, while going 14-for-15 on PATs over six games this year.

Golden recorded three receptions on five targets for 86 yards in Sunday's 27-18 win over the Bengals. He added two rushes for 16 yards.

Golden continues to get more involved in the Green Bay offense, as he's now earned at least five targets in each of his last three games. He was impressive with the opportunity, ripping off long gains of 35 and 31 yards, the latter of which all but clinched a win for the Packers. Golden topped 100 yards from scrimmage for the first time in his career while showcasing his ability to work deep down the field and also pick up yards after the catch. He appears to be earning trust from coaches and Jordan Love, which should lead to more consistent usage as the season progresses.

Badgley made his only field-goal attempt and went 4-for-4 on PATs in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Cardinals.

Badgley was signed by the Colts earlier in the week, replacing Spencer Shrader (knee) as the team's starting kicker after Shrader was placed on injured reserve with a season-ending knee injury. Badgley made a 45-yard field goal in the third quarter, tying up the game at 17-17. The kicker is familiar with Lucas Oil Stadium, having gone 18-for-21 on field-goal tries over 12 games with Indianapolis in 2021, and he'll look to build off of his Week 6 performance moving forward.
