New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore acknowledged that "there's concern" surrounding running back
Kendre Miller (knee), who left during the first quarter of Sunday's Week 7 loss. Moore did not elaborate on the injury, but it sounds like the backup running back could be at risk of missing extended time. Miller had previously carved out a decent workload in his backup role behind
Alvin Kamara, so his absence will presumably clear the way for Kamara to reclaim the workhorse role in New Orleans.
Devin Neal, who had one carry for one yard on Sunday, could also see a slight uptick in snaps if Miller misses any games. Fantasy managers invested in his status should monitor the Saints' injury reports ahead of Week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Carolina Panthers quarterback
Bryce Young (ankle) is undergoing tests to evaluate the severity of his ankle injury, according to head coach Dave Canales. Young exited during the second half of Sunday's Week 7 win over the New York Jets and was unable to return.
Andy Dalton took over in his absence, and while he did close out the victory, he was unable to lead a scoring drive. The Panthers were relatively fortunate that Young's injury came in a softer matchup against the Jets, who were never able to mount a true comeback threat. Their schedule gets much tougher in Week 8, though, as they take on the Buffalo Bills. Having Young available will be key for the Panthers as they look to pull off the upset at home. Fans and fantasy managers should keep an eye on the Panthers' injury reports over the next week.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable but was widely expected to miss his second game in a row. Murray's loss will be felt, as he had amassed a respectable 962 passing yards, 173 rushing yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions through the first five weeks of the season. On Sunday,
Jacoby Brissett will start in his place. Brissett impressed with 320 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception last Sunday against the Colts. He'll look to build on that momentum during a difficult matchup against the Packers.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity all week long. Wicks has mostly filled a depth role behind
Matthew Golden and
Romeo Doubs this season, catching just 12 passes for 129 yards and zero touchdowns. He's off the fantasy radar despite a favorable matchup against Arizona.

Green Bay Packers kicker
Brandon McManus (quadricep) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing all three practices this past week.
Lucas Havrisik will operate as the Packers' kicker for the second week in a row. Last Sunday, he had a productive outing with two field goals and three extra points. He could enjoy similar success this week against a struggling Cardinals team.

New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner (head) was taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion during the second half of Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Carolina Panthers. He finished the game with four tackles and one pass defended. While Gardner is still being evaluated and has not officially been diagnosed with a concussion, he is certainly at risk of missing next week's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. That would be a major loss for the Jets, who are now 0-7 and would have a tough time slowing down
Ja'Marr Chase even if Gardner were healthy.

Chicago Bears tight end
Cole Kmet (back) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New Orleans Saints. He is officially listed as doubtful to return. At the time of his departure, he had just one catch for 16 yards. While the team hasn't officially ruled out a Kmet return, it appears unlikely that he'll get back into the game. As a result, rookie
Colston Loveland will take over as the Bears' primary tight end. Loveland could be a solid TE2 going forward, especially if Kmet misses time. Fantasy managers invested in either Bears tight end should monitor the team's practice reports leading up to Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Carolina Panthers quarterback
Bryce Young (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New York Jets. He was taken to the locker room and was initially listed as questionable to return before being downgraded to out. He finishes Sunday's game having completed 15 of 25 passes for 138 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He also rushed for 10 yards and took a sack. Young was replaced by
Andy Dalton, who will be tasked with preserving Carolina's multi-possession lead over the Jets. Fantasy managers invested in Young's status should monitor the Panthers' practice reports leading up to Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills.

Miami Dolphins quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa was benched during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Cleveland Browns. He was in the midst of an all-time poor outing, having completed 12 of 23 passes for 100 yards, zero touchdowns, and three interceptions, including a pick-six. He also took two sacks and rushed for six yards. Tagovailoa was replaced by
Quinn Ewers, who is active for the first time this season. Miami made the decision ahead of Week 7 to name Ewers the backup quarterback over
Zach Wilson. The Texas product will be tasked with limiting the damage in the final minutes of the blowout loss to Cleveland. All eyes will be on Miami with Mike McDaniel's seat hotter than ever, and a potential quarterback change on the radar ahead of Week 8.

Carolina Panthers quarterback
Bryce Young (ankle) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New York Jets. He was taken to the locker room and is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had completed 15 of 25 passes for 138 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He also rushed for 10 yards and took a sack. Young was replaced by
Andy Dalton, who will be tasked with preserving Carolina's multi-possession lead over the Jets.

Miami Dolphins tight end
Darren Waller (pectoral) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Cleveland Browns. He exited in the second quarter and had not registered a statistic at the time of his departure. The veteran tight end had found success in recent weeks, though, catching 10 passes for 117 yards and four touchdowns over his last four games.
Julian Hill and
Tanner Conner will take over as Miami's primary tight ends until Waller is healthy enough to play again.

New Orleans Saints running back
Kendre Miller (knee) exited during the first quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Chicago Bears. He was initially listed as questionable, but was eventually downgraded to out. He finishes the game with just one rush for seven yards. Miller had previously vultured several touches from
Alvin Kamara, so his absence will clear the way for Kamara to reclaim the workhorse role in New Orleans. Fantasy managers invested in Miller's status should monitor the Saints' injury reports ahead of Week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New York Jets quarterback
Justin Fields was benched at halftime during Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Carolina Panthers. At the time of his benching, he had completed just six of 12 pass attempts for 46 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero turnovers. He also rushed for 22 yards and took three sacks. He was replaced by
Tyrod Taylor, who led the Jets' offense on the opening drive of the second half. Fields' benching runs counter to comments made by head coach Aaron Glenn last week, when he criticized a reporter for asking about a potential quarterback change. Just seven days later, Glenn appears to have a new perspective on the situation. Taylor will be tasked with leading the 0-6 Jets back from a 10-3 deficit coming out of the locker room.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (calf, illness) will suit up for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Ian Rapoport. Jacobs was a game-time decision coming into this one due to multiple issues. Despite that, Jacobs is feeling good enough to play, which is great news for fantasy managers. Jacobs is coming off a two-touchdown game last week and should be plugged in as an RB1.
Emanuel Wilson should resume his duties as the backup, so there won't be much streaming appeal for him with Jacobs active now.

Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. Simmons suffered a hamstring injury while tackling
Rhamondre Stevenson in the first half of this contest. As a result, Simmons headed to the sideline and now will remain on the bench. He'll finish his day with one solo tackle and one assisted tackle. His next chance to play will come against the Indianapolis Colts next week. In his absence, T'Vondre Sweat and James Lynch should see expanded roles for the rest of this game.
