Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was sluggish to begin the game as this offense was held to zero points in the first half of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Burrow locked in at halftime and put together an excellent second half. Overall, Burrow completed 22-of-30 passing attempts for 292 passing yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions in the comeback win. The 29-year-old put together five straight scoring drives to help get his team a big Week 7 victory. Over his last two games, Burrow has thrown for eight touchdowns without any interceptions. He'll look to keep up this excellent play against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8.--Andy Webb

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs rushed for 36 yards on 11 carries during Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Detroit Lions. He also caught five of his seven targets for an additional 55 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. Jacobs missed the first six weeks of the season due to his placement on the commissioner's exempt list, so Sunday represented his 2026 season debut. Although he was relatively inefficient on the ground, he handled far more carries than the running backs who filled in for Jacobs while he was sidelined. Plus, he more than made up for his modest rushing output with a huge impact in the passing game. Jacobs, 28, is a dual-threat back who has proven that he can be a consistent high-end RB2 in fantasy football. He should continue to be started in all fantasy leagues next week against the Carolina Panthers, who just let the Buccaneers' running backs explode for 246 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns on Sunday afternoon.--Andersen Pickard

Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen came into Sunday's game with only six receptions on the year. The 25-year-old came out of nowhere and posted a career game on Sunday. Allen hauled in four of his five targets for 20 yards with two touchdowns during the Week 7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Normally, Allen is an afterthought, but he was able to make the most of his chances during Sunday's win. This big performance could lead to more opportunities for Allen down the road. He might be someone worth stashing in deep leagues, but he won't be an ideal streaming option against the Los Angeles Chargers next weekend.--Andy Webb

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (chest) caught four of his seven targets for 48 yards during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Waddle totaled 8.8 PPR points in the effort, which is his third-highest fantasy output of the season. It has been a rough start to the season for Waddle from a fantasy perspective, as he ranks outside the top 36 wide receivers in scoring so far. Denver has prioritized running the ball this season, leaving fewer opportunities for the team's wide receivers and tight ends. In fact, even as Bo Nix had a solid game on Sunday, he still completed a modest 15 passes for 222 yards, and four of those completions went to running backs. It's also worth noting that Waddle picked up an ailment on Sunday, as he reportedly injured his chest in the fourth quarter and was quickly listed as questionable to return. At this point, it's too early to tell whether the injury will impact his availability for Week 8 against the Chiefs. Next week's divisional matchup could prompt the Broncos to throw the ball more, but it's also worth noting that Waddle was held to just one catch in his last game against Kansas City (Week 1).--Andersen Pickard

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett is expected to remain the team's starting quarterback moving forward. Following Sunday's Week 7 loss, head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed that Brissett will remain the starter, per Darren Urban. Brissett completed 27-of-48 passing attempts for 272 yards with a touchdown and zero interceptions during Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. Overall, this season, Brissett has thrown for 1,328 passing yards with nine touchdowns and six interceptions. The Cardinals dropped to 2-5 on the year following Sunday's loss. We could see a change at quarterback here soon if things don't change in Arizona. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Cardinals turn to rookie Carson Beck at some point, but for now, Brissett will remain the starter ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.--Andy Webb

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak fielded questions from the media about the potential of starting rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza in the near future, according to Sam Warren of The Athletic. Asked when he would start thinking about making a change at quarterback, Kubiak said, "I think at this point, we're thinking about everything. How to fix our problems, how to fix our issues in the red zone, in the third quarter. Personnel, scheme, we've got to talk about all of it." The first-year head coach didn't directly offer a timeline for the shift from Kirk Cousins to Mendoza, but he also didn't commit to Cousins starting in Week 8. Cousins led the Raiders to a 3-0 start, but the team has gone 0-4 in four games since then. Mendoza saw a little bit of action in Week 6 during garbage time against the Patriots, completing six of his eight pass attempts for 48 yards. Cousins hasn't looked terrible by any means, racking up 16 touchdowns and just five interceptions through seven games, but a quarterback change might inject life into the team amid a four-game losing streak. The plan all along was for Mendoza to spend around half the season learning behind Cousins, so it feels like a natural transition point could be coming soon. The Raiders will hit the road for a two-game road trip before returning home against the Seahawks on Nov. 15 in Week 10.--Andersen Pickard

Denver Broncos rookie running back Jonah Coleman made his return to the field during Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. He missed the previous four games while on Injured Reserve due to a sprained ankle that he suffered in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coleman was finally back on the field for the first time since suffering a sprained ankle ahead of Week 3. The rookie back carried the ball nine times for 54 yards, while hauling in two receptions for 15 additional yards in the win. After the game, head coach Sean Payton said that the team will need to get Coleman more touches going forward. It sounds like the Broncos were easing him back in, but will now look to give Coleman an expanded role going forward. This is great news for Coleman's fantasy value, but it also means that J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey will likely see reduced roles now.--Andy Webb

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was a fantasy bust in his return from a three-game absence, finishing with just 6.7 fantasy points in Sunday's 43-13 victory over the Carolina Panthers with little opportunity to accumulate production. Mayfield completed seven of 11 passes for 64 yards and one touchdown without an interception, added one rushing yard, and posted an efficient 109.7 passer rating. His lone touchdown, a 14-yard connection with Tez Johnson late in the second quarter, gave Tampa Bay a commanding 33-6 halftime advantage. The Buccaneers attempted 49 rushes for 258 yards and three touchdowns, while their defense contributed another score on a fumble return. Head coach Todd Bowles acknowledged afterward that such a run-heavy approach wasn't the original plan, but the circumstances let Tampa Bay control the game without relying on its passing attack. Mayfield will face the Atlanta Falcons at home in Week 8.--Bruno Mulé

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals after heading to the locker room for further evaluation, which could open additional opportunities for Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims Jr. in Denver's passing attack. Waddle was seen walking off the field in discomfort while gingerly moving his left hand before spending several minutes in the blue medical tent, and he subsequently accompanied team medical personnel to the locker room. The 27-year-old entered Sunday's contest without an injury designation after dealing with a chest injury during Week 7, although it remains unclear whether the latest issue is related.--Bruno Mulé

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks failed to capitalize on another heavy workload in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the New York Giants, rushing 19 times for 66 yards without a touchdown, and his fantasy appeal could slip further if David Montgomery (groin) returns after the Week 8 bye. With Montgomery sidelined, Marks handled every Houston running back carry and played 54 of the team's 61 offensive snaps. However, he averaged just 3.5 yards per attempt, with his longest gain going for 11 yards. He also caught his only target for 15 yards, finishing with 81 scrimmage yards and 9.1 PPR fantasy points. Marks briefly exited in the third quarter with an apparent left knee injury but returned to finish the game. Despite receiving at least 15 carries in three consecutive contests, he has failed to score during that stretch, while his receiving totals have declined from four catches to two and then one. Houston visits the Los Angeles Chargers once the bye ends.--Bruno Mulé

Carolina Panthers tight end Darren Waller was able to somewhat bounce back after posting a dud during last week's game. Waller ripped off a big score during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran tight end scored a 50-yard touchdown, but that was his only catch of the game. It has not been an ideal season for Waller, who has only two games with 50 receiving yards or more heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. He's looking like a low-floor TE2 for that game.--Andy Webb

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) does not appear to have suffered a serious injury during Sunday's 27-21 overtime victory over the Houston Texans, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, who described a sense of relief in the Giants' locker room with the team's bye week approaching and indicated the issue did not appear significant. The 26-year-old exited in the second quarter and did not return, finishing with six carries for 15 yards and a touchdown, along with one reception for two yards. New York's Week 8 bye gives Tracy additional recovery time before the Giants visit the Philadelphia Eagles on November 8, though his availability for that matchup remains uncertain.--Bruno Mulé

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers had seemingly no issues during Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. He torched the Texans' secondary, including a long 46-yard grab. Overall, Nabers finished this game by hauling in seven of his 11 targets for 111 yards in the win. This marked the fourth straight game that Nabers has finished with 100-plus receiving yards. After a slow start to the season, Nabers has turned it on recently. His streak will have to be put on hold for a week with the Giants on bye next weekend. He'll remain an elite WR1 for the Week 9 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.--Andy Webb

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins remains a viable RB2 heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers after returning from his Week 6 absence (due to an ankle injury) with 96 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries in Sunday's 27-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans. After averaging just 3.0 yards per carry and scoring once through his first five appearances, he averaged 5.6 yards per attempt against Tennessee. His season-long 30-yard run set up a five-yard touchdown in the first quarter, and he added a six-yard score before halftime. Judkins also caught his only target for eight yards, finishing with 104 scrimmage yards and 23.4 PPR fantasy points. Dylan Sampson returned from injured reserve and contributed 45 rushing yards on six carries, along with two receptions for 24 yards. However, Judkins handled 17 of the duo's 23 rushing attempts and both of Cleveland's running back touchdowns, reinforcing his role as the primary early-down and goal-line option.--Bruno Mulé

San Francisco 49ers running back Kaelon Black struggled early on during Sunday's game, but he was able to turn it around. Black was stopped on three straight plays inside the three-yard line on the first drive of the game. He was pretty quiet in this game until Christian McCaffrey (thigh) was forced to exit during the first half. Black took over the lead back role for a period of time and posted some decent numbers. Overall, Black carried the ball 12 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. McCaffrey returned in the second half of this game, so he should be fine moving forward. Black remains one of the better handcuffs heading into the team's Week 8 bye.--Andy Webb

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen has exceeded 100 scrimmage yards in three consecutive games, although he has scored only once during Breece Hall's absence and could see a significantly reduced workload if Hall returns when the Jets host the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. Allen rushed for 104 yards on 17 carries and caught six of seven targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins, finishing with 19.4 PPR fantasy points. His six receptions were a season high, and he handled 17 of New York's 21 rushing attempts with Hall (quadriceps) inactive for a fourth consecutive game. Allen's biggest missed opportunity came in the fourth quarter, when his 10-yard run brought the Jets to Miami's one-yard line. He lost a yard on second-and-goal, and New York settled for a field goal after Geno Smith was sacked on third down.--Bruno Mulé

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison was unable to find much success during Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He hauled in two of his three targets for 20 yards in the victory. It was a quiet day for basically all the Vikings' pass-catchers as this team struggled to move the ball through the air. Addison hasn't been much of a fantasy option this season outside of his 90-yard game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3. Fantasy managers can be hopeful for better days ahead with a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions in Week 8. At this point, Addison should be considered a low-end WR3 until he proves that he can produce consistently.--Andy Webb

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers posted his best performance of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. He got the fun started early with a 48-yard touchdown in the first quarter. The Bengals' defense had absolutely no answers for Flowers during this game. Flowers hauled in eight of his 11 targets for 137 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The 26-year-old led the team in all receiving categories during this game. Flowers has shown excellent chemistry with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley. The expectation is that Lamar Jackson should be back next game for a road matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Flowers should remain a strong WR1 for that game.--Andy Webb

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard is a solid RB2 option heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals after accounting for all three of his team's touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns, rushing for 129 yards and three scores on a season-high 25 carries. Pollard struck on runs of 36 and 10 yards in the first quarter before scoring from one yard out with 58 seconds remaining to tie the game. He nearly added another touchdown in the second quarter, but replay overturned the score, and Cleveland eventually stopped him on fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line. He also caught all three of his targets for 26 yards, finishing with 155 scrimmage yards and 36.5 PPR fantasy points. With Tyjae Spears (knee) inactive, Pollard handled 25 of Tennessee's 28 running back carries, and that workload and goal-line role reinforce his status as the team's primary rushing option.--Bruno Mulé

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) injured the same knee that has troubled him all season during Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell, as reported by Ben Goessling of the Minnesota Star Tribune, which could hand Jordan Mason an even larger role if the veteran cannot play against the Detroit Lions in Week 8. Jones has been playing through a sprained left MCL since Week 2 and previously experienced setbacks against the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints. The 31-year-old exited following a 17-yard run in the fourth quarter and did not return, finishing with eight carries for 26 yards and one reception for zero yards. Mason (thumb), making his first appearance since Week 1, led Minnesota with 15 carries for 68 yards and had assumed a substantial portion of the workload before Jones departed. The severity of Jones' latest injury remains unclear.--Bruno Mulé
