Perine rushed four times for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Ravens.

The running back wasn't targeted in the passing game, but Perine notably subbed in for Chase Brown at the goal line to punch in a one-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter. It's become apparent that the coaches are trusting Perine more, and it's having an effect on Brown's production. Perine is up to 31 carries for 126 yards (4.1 YPC) and one touchdown through six games this season.

Johnson caught both of his targets for 33 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 43-13 win over the Panthers.

Johnson led Tampa Bay in receiving yards while he was one of two pass-catchers with multiple receptions. Quarterback Baker Mayfield made his return to action after missing three games with a thumb injury, and he only attempted 11 passes, but the two connected for a 14-yard score in the second quarter. On the year, Johnson has now reeled in nine of 15 targets for 178 yards and a touchdown over seven contests. He was operating in a more prominent role with Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) unavailable Sunday, and if Egbuka is available in Week 8, Johnson figures to revert back to a depth role versus the Falcons.

Sample caught both of his targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Ravens.

Sample entered Week 7 with just five catches for 24 yards on six targets across five games, so he doubled his yardage total and secured his first touchdown with Sunday's performance. It goes without saying, but Sample isn't on the fantasy football radar.

Hutchinson caught three of six targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants. He added 12 rushing yards on two attempts.

On a day C.J. Stroud targeted nine different players, Hutchinson tied Dalton Schultz for the team lead with six targets. Nico Collins led the wideout group with 24 routes, but Hutchinson tied Jaylin Noel (toe) for second at the position with 15 routes. In a receiver room that is running six deep on game days, none of these Houston wide receivers are reliably playable in fantasy outside of Collins.

Lloyd tallied six carries for 20 yards and two catches (on two targets) for 15 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss in Detroit.

The Packers got top RB Josh Jacobs back in the lineup for the first time this season after he spent the first six contests on the commissioner's exempt list. However, he wasn't able to provide a jolt to a moribund ground game, as the team averaged just 3.2 YPC on its 19 rushes. On a positive note for Lloyd, though, he was the only Green Bay running back other than Jacobs to earn a touch, as an active Pierre Strong did not, and Kaleb Johnson (coach's decision) was a healthy scratch. Lloyd appears set to serve as the team's No. 2 backfield option moving forward, which should provide him regular reps with which to work behind Jacobs.

Parkinson caught five of six targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Raiders.

With Davante Adams (hamstring) and Terrance Ferguson (ankle) both out and injured for Los Angeles, Parkinson's six targets were second on the team behind Puka Nacua's 10. The tight end ran just 14 routes on Matthew Stafford's 32 dropbacks, but Los Angeles used multiple tight ends, led by Tyler Higbee's 18 routes. Parkinson is more of a touchdown-or-bust fringe TE1/2 headed into Week 8 against the Chargers.

Allen caught four of five targets for 20 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Raiders.

With Davante Adams (hamstring) and Terrance Ferguson (ankle) sidelined for the Rams, Allen was thrust into an elevated role on offense for Los Angeles. He ended up running just 12 routes on Matthew Stafford's 32 dropbacks but made the most of his chances, particularly in the red zone, where Allen caught three- and five-yard touchdowns in the first half. Allen's volume of routes isn't enough to make him a reliable fantasy option moving forward.

Jeanty rushed eight times for 15 yards and brought in all eight targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 35-21 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

The Rams stonewalled Jeanty on the ground, but the 2025 first-round pick was highly effective as a receiver. Jeanty led the Raiders in receptions and tied for second in targets, and his 15-yard grab came when the running back ran past Kamren Curl down the right sideline early in the fourth quarter. Jeanty has been under 30 rushing yards in three straight games, but he's up to a 34-312-3 receiving line on 44 targets going into a Week 8 road matchup against the Jets next Sunday.

Fitzgerald did not attempt a field goal and went 1-for-2 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 43-13 loss to the Buccaneers.

Fitzgerald went without a field-goal attempt for the first time in his two-year career, and to make matters worse, he registered his fifth missed PAT of the season. The kicker has now gone 11-for-11 on field-goal tries while converting 12 of 17 extra-point attempts over six regular-season contests this year.

Kraft compiled four catches (on six targets) for 48 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 20-17 loss at Detroit.

Kraft's 14-yard TD connection with QB Jordan Love late in the first quarter marked the tight end's second end-zone visit in seven games on the season. Having said that, Kraft has surpassed 50 receiving yards in just two contests, leaving him on a 29-297-2 line on 43 targets to date. WRs Matthew Golden (12 targets Sunday) and Christian Watson (eight) continue to dominate the attention of Love so far, meaning Kraft is the third option at best in the Packers' passing attack at the moment.
