Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Monday, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Daniels exited Sunday's loss against the Cowboys after taking a sack early in the third quarter. He did not return to the contest, sparking plenty of concern about his fantasy football outlook going forward. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Quinn didn't have much of an update postgame, other than confirming that the quarterback's injury is significant enough to require additional testing. We'll likely receive more information Monday on the specifics of Daniels' injury, including whether he'll miss any time. If the former No. 2 pick can't suit up in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs,
Marcus Mariota would be in line to make his third start of the season.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot) will be the team's starter when he is healthy enough to play, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. The Cardinals are 0-2 in Murray's absence under
Jacoby Brissett, but they've played close games against two tough teams, sparking at least a little bit of quarterback discussion. Furthermore, during that two-week span, Brissett has completed 65 percent of his passes for 599 yards, four touchdowns, one interception, and one lost fumble. The Cardinals have a Week 8 bye, with a very real chance for Murray to return to the lineup in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys. If he's active for that game, Murray would be a low-end QB1 given Dallas' tendency to engage in high-scoring shootouts.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end
Oronde Gadsden caught seven of his nine targets for 164 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The highlight of his game was a 53-yard catch on the second play of the third quarter, but his 15-yard touchdown was impressive, too. The rookie has broken out recently, catching 14 passes for 232 yards and a touchdown over his last two contests. He is the overall TE1 in PPR leagues over the last two weeks. Although that's a relatively small sample size to assess, Sunday's big game showed that Gadsden's sudden success is no fluke. He should continue to operate as a primary target for
Justin Herbert, giving him high-end TE2 appeal with TE1 upside.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert completed 37 of his 55 pass attempts for 420 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions during Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Indianapolis Colts. He also took three sacks and led the team with 31 rushing yards. Herbert turned in his best fantasy performance of the season thanks to his extremely high yardage total and three touchdowns, but the two picks -- plus Los Angeles' struggles running the football and Indianapolis' strong offense -- made it tough for the Bolts to overcome an early deficit. Herbert remains a mid-range QB1 in fantasy football, though, and he should continue to be started heading into Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings.

New York Giants rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart completed 15 of his 33 pass attempts for 283 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Denver Broncos. He also rushed for 11 yards and an additional touchdown on the ground. This was Dart's first career four-touchdown game -- he had previously never scored more than twice -- but it wasn't enough as the Broncos scored 33 points in the fourth quarter alone, taking down New York with a field goal as time expired. Dart, a rookie, played solid in the defeat, especially considering how effective Denver's defense has been this year. The loss was unfortunate, but from a fantasy perspective, 283 passing yards and four total touchdowns are nothing to complain about. He'll remain in the low-end QB1 conversation for Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. In his last outing against Philly, he had 195 passing yards, 58 rushing yards, two total touchdowns, and zero turnovers.

Indianapolis Colts running back
Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 16 times for 94 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 38 receiving yards. Taylor turned in his best fantasy performance of the season in PPR leagues, shrinking the gap between him and this year's overall RB1,
Christian McCaffrey. The 26-year-old has scored three touchdowns in three different games this season, totaling 10 scores over his last five contests. Taylor should continue to feast next week against a Titans defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to running backs and just surrendered 88 yards and a touchdown to
Rhamondre Stevenson. He's in the mix to be next week's overall RB1.

Denver Broncos quarterback
Bo Nix completed 27 of his 50 pass attempts for 279 yards, two passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 7 win over the New York Giants. He also added 49 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. The Broncos couldn't get anything going for most of this game as they were held scoreless through three quarters. However, fueled by Nix's four scores, the Broncos marched back in the fourth quarter, scored 33 points, and pulled off an improbable 33-32 win at the buzzer. Nix ultimately had his best fantasy performance of the season, moving into low-end QB1 territory going forward. He should be started in most leagues ahead of a potential Week 8 shootout against the Dallas Cowboys.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback
Patrick Mahomes completed 26 of his 35 pass attempts for 286 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He also rushed for 28 yards and took just one sack. Mahomes looked terrific in the commanding 31-0 divisional victory, showcasing an ability to connect with several of his receivers. Most notably, he found
Rashee Rice for seven completions and two touchdowns in the receiver's return from a six-game suspension. With one more weapon at his disposal, Mahomes has the Chiefs well-positioned to make a push for the AFC West title and No. 1 seed in the conference. From a fantasy perspective, he continues to be a mid-to-high QB1.

Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. He initially exited during the third quarter and was listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. The former No. 2 pick was seen walking to the locker room. While doing so, he gave a thumbs-up to the crowd. Ultimately, though, the team has decided that he won't be able to return. It's possible that the score factored into this decision, as Washington has consistently been trailing by three possessions. Daniels finishes the game having completed 12 of 22 passes for 156 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He also rushed for 35 yards.
Marcus Mariota will finish the game as the Commanders' quarterback.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday night's contest against the San Francisco 49ers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction ahead of kickoff. Indeed, Mooney will suit up for his first game since Week 4. The 27-year-old has appeared in just three games during an injury-riddled 2025 campaign, catching seven passes for 79 yards. Mooney came up just shy of 1,000 yards last season, and there was plenty of optimism about his upside this year following a full offseason with
Michael Penix Jr. as his starter. However, injuries have ruined that optimism, and it would now take a miracle for Mooney to come close to 1,000 yards again. He does still have WR3/flex upside, but it'll be tough for managers to justify starting him until he can produce consistently.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks (calf) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He is officially listed as questionable to return. The 24-year-old had two targets, one reception, and five yards at the time of his departure. The injury bug continues to be a factor for Wicks, who came into this week listed as questionable with an ankle injury. His absence will allow
Malik Heath and
Savion Williams to earn more snaps alongside
Matthew Golden and
Romeo Doubs.

Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels (hamstring) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. He was taken to the locker room and is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had completed 12 of 22 passes for 156 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He also rushed for 35 yards. Daniels has been replaced by
Marcus Mariota for the time being. It's unclear whether the former No. 2 pick will be able to return, but he did give a thumbs-up before going to the locker room, which could perhaps be a good sign.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Chris Olave caught five of his seven targets for 98 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Chicago Bears. Olave briefly exited the contest in the first half and was evaluated in the medical tent, but he returned to the game and proceeded to score a pair of touchdowns. This was the first two-touchdown game of Olave's career, and he also set a new career-high in fantasy points (26.8 in PPR leagues). The 25-year-old has sneakily been one of the most consistent fantasy receivers this year, scoring double-digit points in all seven of his games so far. As long as he can continue to avoid the injury bug, he'll remain a strong WR2 option in most leagues. He faces off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver
A.J. Brown caught four of his six targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 28-year-old has found his groove as a big-play threat lately, totaling 15 catches and 244 yards over his last three contests. He was one of several benefactors during this week's strong offensive performance. The passing game found plenty of life as Brown and
DeVonta Smith combined for 13 catches, 304 yards, and three touchdowns. This duo will look to build on its momentum when facing a surging Giants squad in Week 8. Brown is a fringe top-12 fantasy receiver at the moment.

Cleveland Browns rookie running back
Quinshon Judkins carried the ball 25 times for 84 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was not targeted in the passing game. Judkins' yardage efficiency (3.4 YPC) was nothing special, but that's a moot point when you look at his touchdown efficiency. The rookie had a great opportunity to thrive this week against a Dolphins defense that has struggled to defend the run all year. Miami's offensive woes also helped Judkins, giving the ball back to Cleveland's offense quite often. Judkins certainly capitalized on his opportunities and now has double-digit fantasy points (PPR) in five of his six games. He should be viewed as a low-end RB1 heading into Week 8 against the New England Patriots.
