Allen rushed 21 times for 147 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for six yards in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.

Allen made a fifth consecutive start in the absence of Breece Hall (quadriceps) and exceeded 100 scrimmage yards for the fourth consecutive game. The 2024 fourth-round pick set a new career high with 147 rushing yards, surpassing Allen's 116 yards on the ground in the Week 5 win over the Browns. Allen scored his third rushing touchdown of the season on a 21-yard run in the third quarter to give the Jets a 30-21 lead, but the Raiders closed the game on a 17-3 run to drop the Jets to 2-6. If Hall's ready to return in Week 9 against the Chiefs, the Jets could opt for a backfield split between Allen and Hall.

Henley (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Rams, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.

Henley suffered a shoulder injury early in the second half, and his availability for the rest of the game is now up in the air. In his absence, Troy Dye and Marlowe Wax will stand to see an increase in workload at inside linebacker.

The status of Huntley (toe) is uncertain ahead of Thursday night's game against the Jaguars , Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports

Per Giana Han of TheBaltimoreBanner.com,Huntley was seen after Sunday's loss to the Bills with an evident limp. With franchise QB Lamar Jackson headed to IR with a thumb injury that could be season-ending, Huntley's status going forward gains plenty of import. For now, Joe Fagnano is the Ravens' healthiest signal caller, but look for the team to add depth at the position in the coming days.

Gibbs rushed 23 times for 153 yards and a touchdown while bringing in two of four targets for 15 yards in the Lions' 19-15 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Gibbs and the Lions started relatively slowly against the Vikings' aggressive defense, netting just six first-half points. However, Gibbs continued to plug away against Minnesota's talented front, and he eventually began breaking through for multiple productive runs. Gibbs warmed up for a big second half with a 19-yard scamper just before halftime, and he went on to add a game-long 30-yard run for his one touchdown in the latter portion of the third quarter. Gibbs then helped seal the victory with scampers of 17, nine and nine yards on Detroit's next-to-last drive, as well as his final 28 rushing yards of the day on the final possession. The star back ultimately finished with his second-highest rushing yardage total of the season and third of greater than 150 yards, affording him massive momentum heading into a favorable Week 9 road matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.

Burrow completed 38 of 48 passes for 462 yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions and added three carries for 10 yards and another score in the Bengals' 43-36 overtime win over the Titans on Sunday.

A Titans offense that had been mostly moribund all season unexpectedly came to life Sunday, requiring Burrow to remain aggressive throughout the afternoon. While that helped lead to his season-high three interceptions, it was also unsurprisingly a boon for his fantasy production, as the 2020 first overall pick finished with his second 400-yard performance of the season and a season-high five TD tosses. Burrow had his connection with top receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins working throughout the afternoon, as he connected with the duo a combined 21 times for 296 yards and three touchdowns. Burrow's other two scoring strikes went to Mike Gesicki and Jack Endries, and the prolific quarterback then sealed the win himself with a nine-yard scoring run at the seven-minute mark of overtime. Burrow and the Bengals now make the transatlantic flight to Madrid, Spain, where they'll face the Falcons next Sunday in a Week 9 matchup.

Jackson is slated to have surgery to address his right thumb injury and will be placed on injured reserve, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Per Wacker, Jackson's injury could potentially be season-ending according to coach Jesse Minter, with more context on that front presumably slated to arrive after the QB's thumb is checked out. With Tyler Huntley dealing with a toe injury, the Ravens' QB situation is in flux in Week 9, and beyond. Joe Fagnano finished up Sunday's game against the Bills, and it's likely the Ravens will add signal-caller depth ahead of Thursday's game against the Jaguars.

Cousins completed 19 of 26 passes for 247 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets. He added five rushing attempts for three yards and a rushing touchdown.

Cousins connected with Brock Bowers for touchdowns of 12 and two yards before scoring on a QB sneak in the third quarter for the 38-year-old QB's first rushing TD of the season and second rushing score since the start of the 2023 regular season. Cousins added a go-ahead two-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Nailor in the fourth quarter to take a 35-30 lead with 11:33 remaining. This was Cousins' fourth three-touchdown passing performance of the season but his first since Week 4. All four of those three-TD outings came in Vegas wins, and Cousins has added seven touchdown passes in the Raiders' four losses to bring his TD:INT to 19:5 heading into a Week 9 trip to San Francisco.

Bowers caught seven of 10 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets.

Bowers scored a 12-yard touchdown in the first quarter and added a two-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter. He came just short of a third touchdown later in the third quarter, getting tackled just outside the goal line to set up a one-yard Kirk Cousins rushing TD. Bowers became the first tight end in NFL history to record at least 70 receiving yards in six consecutive appearances to begin a season. He'll try to extend his historic streak in Week 9 against the 49ers while continuing to work as the top target for Kirk Cousins.

Jeanty rushed twice for nine yards while catching three of four targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets.

Jeanty ceded the vast majority of rushing opportunities to Mike Washington, who rushed 25 times for 83 yards. Most of Jeanty's yardage came on a 45-yard catch on the first play of the fourth quarter. Jeanty has excelled as a pass catcher, and he now has more receiving yards (376) than rushing yards (337) this season. Per Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com, head coach Klint Kubiak said after the win that Jeanty getting just two carries was "my call" and added that Jeanty is "still going to be a big part of our team" heading into the Raiders' Week 9 road game against the 49ers. Jeanty added that it was "communicated" to him before the game that he would get fewer carries but stressed that winning is more important to him than his workload.

Moore (undisclosed) headed to the medical tent during Sunday's game against the Ravens, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

It remains to be seen what prompted Moore's visit to the tent, but we'll keep an eye out for added context. Prior to his exit, the wideout caught four of his seven targets for 82 yards and a TD.
