  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Racks up 15 points in loss

    Carlson converted all five of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.

    Carlson was the only Raider to put points on the board in this contest, rebounding from a slow Week 6 outing in which he attempted just one extra point all game against the Steelers. A tough test awaits for this Las Vegas offense with Gardner Minshew at the helm versus the Chiefs in Week 8, but Carlson remains steady when given the opportunity to boot it through the uprights.

  • Alex Bachman WR | LV

    Raiders' Alex Bachman: Not targeted against Rams

    Bachman was not targeted in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.

    Bachman, who was signed to the Raiders' active roster this past week after exhausting his three practice squad elevations for the season, did not earn a single target despite against the Rams despite playing 36 of 79 offensive snaps. Bachman's playing time figures to drastically decrease upon Jakobi Meyers' (ankle) return to action, which could come in Week 8 versus the Chiefs.

  • DJ Turner WR | LV

    Raiders' DJ Turner: Targeted seven times Sunday

    Turner caught two of seven targets for 13 yards and he also returned one punt for seven yards in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.

    Turner logged 75 of a possible 79 offensive snaps while earning a career-high seven targets with fellow wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) inactive for a second straight game, but Turner's attention from quarterbacks Aidan O'Connell (thumb) and Gardner Minshew didn't amount to much fantasy production. Meyers' potential Week 8 return from injury would result in a demotion for Turner into the No. 3 role, but he remains somewhat relevant following Davante Adams' departure to the Jets. Regardless, rookie sensation Brock Bowers continues to command a significant portion of the target share among this struggling aerial attack.

  • Mark Andrews TE | BAL

    Ravens' Mark Andrews: Scores twice in Week 7 win

    Andrews caught all four of his targets for 41 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

    Andrews caught a nine-yard touchdown in the second quarter before adding a four-yard score in the third. The veteran tight end has three touchdowns in his last two games after opening the season on a five-game touchdown drought, and Andrews has 11 catches over that three-game span after posting only six catches through Week 4. Andrews still is ceding more snaps than in previous seasons to Isaiah Likely, but at least the recent uptick in production has Andrews back in the usable range for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 8 trip to Cleveland.

  • Rashod Bateman WR | BAL

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Makes most of four targets on MNF

    Bateman caught all four of his targets for 121 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

    Nobody on the Ravens saw more than four targets as Lamar Jackson spread the wealth en route to five touchdown passes, but Bateman made the most of his opportunities with a 59-yard catch in the second quarter and a 49-yard touchdown reception in the third. Bateman has yet to record more than four catches in a game this season, but he's averaging a robust 18.8 yards per reception and has scored in three of his last five games. Up next for Bateman and the Ravens is a trip to Cleveland in Week 8.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Likely suffered dislocated ankle

    Godwin is feared to have suffered a dislocated left ankle in Monday's loss to Baltimore, head coach Todd Bowles told NFL.com.

    With about a minute left in the game, Godwin made a 21-yard reception but appeared to severely twist his left leg when he was tackled to the ground. He was later carted off the field with an air cast on his left leg. It sounds like Godwin suffered a season-ending injury, but confirmation on his status will likely come after test results Tuesday.

  • Greg Joseph K | NYG

    Giants' Greg Joseph: Makes lone kick Week 7

    Joseph converted his only field-goal try and did not attempt an extra point Sunday in a loss to the Eagles.

    Joseph missed a pair of field-goal tries Week 6 but was retained for Week 7 with Graham Gano (hamstring) not yet ready to return. New York's offense was woeful against Philadelphia, so Joseph didn't get much of a chance to redeem himself, though he did score the team's only points on a 38-yard field goal just before halftime. Joseph is now a tolerable 9-for-12 on field-goal attempts on the campaign, but he'll likely give way to Gano as soon as the latter is able to return, potentially as soon as Week 8 against Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football.

  • Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Four touches in loss

    McMillan secured three of eight targets for 15 yards and rushed once for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 41-31 loss to the Ravens on Monday night.

    McMillan surprisingly finished third in targets, although the first-half exit of Mike Evans (hamstring) certainly played a part. The rookie was largely inefficient with those opportunities, yet he could be primed to continue drawing plenty of Baker Mayfield's attention moving forward. Evans could potentially miss a Week 8 home matchup against the Falcons, at minimum, while Scott Smith of the team's official site reports the injury that forced Chris Godwin to be carted off late in Monday night's game appears to be a dislocated ankle that would very likely result in a multi-game absence.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Grabs five receptions Monday

    McConkey (hip) caught five of seven targets for 46 yards in Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals.

    McConkey was one of several Chargers' wideouts carrying injury designations heading into Monday's contest. The 2024 second-round pick managed to overcome a hip injury in order to suit up and fill a prominent role on offense. The rookie had a couple drops that hit him in the hands, but otherwise looked sharp on his routes while finishing with solid PPR numbers. McConkey remains a reliable option in deeper formats, but he lacks the upside necessary to mark him a must-play option against the Saints on Sunday.

  • Theo Johnson TE | NYG

    Giants' Theo Johnson: Absent from passing game Week 7

    Johnson was not targeted in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia.

    The Giants' passing game was abhorrent as a whole Sunday, as Daniel Jones and Drew Lock combined for just 105 passing yards while completing a collective 17 of 29 pass attempts. Daniel Bellinger was the only one of the team's tight ends to even see a target, and he received just one look, which he caught for 11 yards. There's no reason to believe that Bellinger has usurped Johnson on the depth chart since the latter logged 90 percent of New York's offensive snaps in the ugly loss to Bellinger's 12 percent, so Johnson should have an opportunity to bounce back in Week 8 against Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football.
