Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike had his best game as a pass catcher in Week 7 against New England, catching all four of his targets for 70 yards and his first touchdown as a pro. Dike now has at least two receptions in three straight games and continues to make an impact on special teams, leading the league in kick return yards. With veteran Calvin Ridley (hamstring) sidelined in Week 7, Dike ran a season-high 66.7% of the team's routes and hauled in a 38-yard touchdown pass from fellow rookie Cameron Ward. Dike is a solid speculative add as the Titans go on the road to Indianapolis in Week 8.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) is set to return to full practice this week, head coach Dan Quinn stated on Tuesday Oct. 21.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney led the team in receiving yards in Week 7's loss to San Francisco, his first game action since Week 4 after missing time with a hamstring injury. Mooney caught three of his five targets for 68 yards, but was fourth on the team in targets behind Drake London, Kyle Pitts Sr., and Bijan Robinson. Mooney should continue to see more opportunities as he works his way back from injury. He draws a favorable Week 8 matchup against a Dolphins defense that has allowed the third-most points in the league through seven games.

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor hasn't officially been named the starter for the team's Week 8 matchup against the Bengals, but head coach Aaron Glenn is reportedly "moving toward" naming the veteran as the starter over the struggling Justin Fields. Taylor hasn't impressed in limited action, completing 62.3% of his passes for three touchdowns and three interceptions. With star wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) sidelined, the Jets lack a true pass-catching threat and have also struggled to run the ball recently. If Taylor starts in Week 8 on the road against the Bengals, he'll only be a viable option in superflex formats.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Brashard Smith handled his biggest workload as a pro in Week 7 against the Raiders, recording 14 carries for 39 yards and adding five receptions on five targets for 42 yards. Most of Smith's rushing work came in the fourth quarter with the game already decided, but all five of the seventh-round rookie's receptions came during the normal flow of the offense. Head coach Andy Reid has utilized Smith's dynamic ability on quick screens to the perimeter as an extension of the run game, and we may not have yet seen the full extent of how Smith can be integrated into this explosive Chiefs offense. He's one of the top waiver wire adds this week as a stash option, with the potential for more if his usage continues to grow.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai had his best game as a pro in Week 7 against New Orleans, handling 13 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown, and added two receptions (three targets) for 13 yards. The Bears have leaned into their run game more in their two games post games after their Week 5 bye, totaling 367 yards on 67 carries. And Monangai played his highest snap share of the season at 46.3% on Sunday against the Saints, but it's worth noting that starter D'Andre Swift was dealing with a groin injury coming into the game. The seventh-round rookie is still a solid add as a strong handcuff option to Swift in an improving offense.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco led the offense to its best performance of the season in Week 7 against the Steelers, throwing for 342 yards and three touchdowns as the team scored 33 points in an upset win. Despite joining the Bengals just over two weeks ago, Flacco has been a clear upgrade at quarterback, totaling 561 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions with a 65.2% completion rate across his two starts. The 40-year-old will go on the road in Week 8 to face a New England defense that has allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs handled seven targets last Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, catching all seven passes for 69 yards. He had his second-highest catch total of the season despite playing just 54 percent of the snaps. Drake Maye is good at spreading the ball around, but Diggs has been a true constant within the offense, catching at least six passes in four of his last seven games. He has impressed as the overall WR26 in PPR leagues, pushing into high-end flex territory. His value could take a step back this week, though, as the Patriots are already getting ready to take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 7. The Browns have a good defense all around, lowering Diggs' floor and ceiling this week. He should be treated as a WR3/flex with upside.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum earned a season-high 12 carries last Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, totaling 37 rushing yards. He also converted his lone target into a six-yard reception. In addition to handling his highest carry total of the season, Corum rushed the ball as many times as Kyren Williams and also played a season-high 34 percent of the snaps. The 24-year-old's increased workload was likely aided by a very positive game script, as Los Angeles was consistently ahead by four possessions. Corum's Rams will head into a Week 8 bye before returning to action against the New Orleans Saints. That game should offer more positive game script scenarios for the Rams, leaving Corum in the low-end RB3/flex range. He's worth claiming off waivers if you have enough bench spots that you can justify stashing him through his bye week.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara rushed 11 times for 28 yards and caught all three of his targets for just one yard in the Week 7 loss to the Bears. This marks his fifth straight game under 100 total yards, and he has not found the end zone since Week 1. Looking ahead to Week 8, Kamara faces a Buccaneers defense that just allowed Jahmyr Gibbs to explode for 218 total yards and two touchdowns on Monday night. Over 14 career games against Tampa Bay, Kamara has totalled 626 rushing yards, 565 receiving yards, and 11 total touchdowns. Even with a low 3.6 yards per carry, his volume and history against the Buccaneers keep him in the low-end RB2 conversation for Week 8.

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Jarquez Hunter was a healthy scratch for Week 7's game in London against the Jaguars. Hunter had been active for the Rams' previous five games, exclusively on special teams, but didn't suit up in London as Ronnie Rivers was brought up off the practice squad and was active as a depth piece behind starter Kyren Williams and second-year back Blake Corum. The fourth-round pick out of Auburn led the SEC last season with 6.4 yards per carry, and it remains to be seen whether he will earn any opportunities in the Rams' offense moving forward.

From RotoBaller

Carolina Panthers rookie running back Trevor Etienne played only four snaps in Week 7's 13-6 win against the Jets. Etienne played 8, 14, and 11 offensive snaps in his last three games, totaling 14 carries for 72 yards and one reception for seven yards. With Chuba Hubbard returning from a calf injury on Sunday, the fourth-round rookie assumed the RB3 role and also contributed on special teams, including a 45-yard kick return and three punt returns for 35 yards. He's a solid stash in dynasty leagues but isn't rosterable in redraft formats.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe was a healthy inactive for Week 7's matchup against the Texans for the second consecutive game. Milroe had a designed carry each in Weeks 1 and 3, but then fumbled on his lone opportunity in Week 5's loss to Tampa Bay and has since settled into the QB3 role behind Drew Lock. It remains to be seen if the third-rounder out of Alabama will be active again at some point, with how well starter Sam Darnold has played. Milroe remains a solid stash in dynasty leagues.

New Orleans Saints running back Devin Neal could be in line for a significant role moving forward with Kendre Miller (knee) out for the season. Neal has just three rushes for 10 yards on the season and has only been active for three of the Saints' seven games so far. The rookie is now set to serve as the RB2 behind veteran Alvin Kamara, who praised Neal as "one of the smartest rookies that I've been around."The sixth-round pick out of Kansas was a workhorse in college, rushing for over 1,200 yards in each of his final two seasons and showing his receiving ability with 49 catches over that span. He's worth an add off the waiver wire in 12-team leagues to stash as a handcuff.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) has been steadily rehabbing from the gruesome injury he suffered late last season against the Chiefs, working his way back toward full strength. During Houston's Week 3 broadcast, analyst Ross Tucker mentioned that he saw Dell running sprints, which is an encouraging sign in his recovery process. The 25-year-old has been on the sideline during a recent Texans game, but there is still no clear sign of him returning anytime soon. For now, the Texans will continue to rely on Nico Collins, who left Monday night with a concussion, along with rookies Jaylin Noel, Jayden Higgins, and Xavier Hutchinson at receiver.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost veteran wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) to a broken clavicle in their Monday night loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 7, and the future Hall of Famer is expected to miss most of the rest of the season. It's a big blow to a Buccaneers offense that has also missed receiver Chris Godwin (leg) for the last two games. Fellow wideout Jalen McMillan suffered a serious neck injury in the preseason and was put on Injured Reserve in August, and while the Bucs are hoping he can return at some point in 2025, there remains no timetable for his return to action. The 23-year-old reportedly was still in a neck brace just under two weeks ago, but the team remains hopeful that he'll be able to play this year. For now, with no Evans and with Godwin nursing a fibula injury, the Bucs will head into Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints with rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka, Sterling Shepard, and Tez Johnson as their top three receivers.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond was not targeted in a 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. Part of Bond's disappointing outing can be attributed to a tough weather day in Cleveland, as it was rainy and windy at Huntington Bank Field on Sunday. That being said, Bond has taken a step back since his three-catch, 58-yard performance against the Minnesota Vikings in London in Week 5. Overall, Bond has caught 11 passes for 123 yards and added a nine-yard rush in seven games for the Browns. He will look to take it up a notch in a Week 8 road matchup against the New England Patriots. The Patriots are allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to receivers this season, so Bond is staring down a decent matchup this weekend.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. caught four of his five targets for 36 yards in a 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. While he turned in a quiet outing, Fannin still wound up leading the Browns in receiving in a game where they passed for just 116 yards on a windy, rainy day in Cleveland. Fannin has been impressive in his rookie season, catching 32 passes for 290 yards and one touchdown through seven games. With David Njoku (knee) looking iffy for a Week 8 road matchup against the New England Patriots, Fannin could be queued up for a big fantasy day. Treat him as a low-end TE1 this Sunday.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel completed 13 of his 18 passes for 116 scoreless yards while adding four carries for 12 yards in a 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. As has become customary over his three starts, Gabriel operated as a game-manager for the Cleveland offense as they leaned heavily on the rushing attack. The rookie quarterback has now thrown for 546 yards and three touchdowns while completing 59.8% of his passes and throwing zero interceptions through five games. He will look to raise his fantasy ceiling in a Week 8 road matchup against the New England Patriots. The Patriots have been solid on defense this season, allowing the fifth-fewest points per game in the league at 19.0 per game. Gabriel sets up as a low-end QB2 in a week with six teams on bye.

Through his team's first six games this season, Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis has seen minimal usage. Davis has recorded just 48 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 16 total touches. After averaging 7.6 touches per game as a rookie in 2024, Davis is averaging 2.7 touches per game so far in 2025. Bills RB1 James Cook is currently dominating the early-down work in Buffalo, with veteran back Ty Johnson playing a role on passing downs. That leaves Davis on the outside looking in, barring an injury. Davis maintains some fantasy value as the handcuff option to Cook. Still, his standalone appeal is nonexistent if his usage remains the same when Buffalo returns to the field after its Week 7 bye.
