Tyler Allgeier RB | ARI
Cardinals' Tyler Allgeier: Outproduced by Knight again
Allgeier rushed eight times for 19 yards and caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos.
For a second consecutive game, Allgeier led the Cardinals in carries in the absence of Jeremiyah Love (ankle) but was far less efficient on the ground than Bam Knight. Allgeier has 57 rushing yards on 26 carries (2.2 YPC) during this two-game span compared to 128 rushing yards on 22 carries (5.8 YPC) for Knight over the same stretch. Love should reclaim his spot as the top option in Arizona's backfield once he's cleared to return, and even if that doesn't happen in Week 8 against the Cowboys, Allgeier could start to cede more opportunities to Knight if Allgeier remains inefficient.

Eddy Pineiro K | SF
49ers' Eddy Pineiro: No FGAs in loss
Pineiro did not attempt a field goal while going 2-for-3 on PATs in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Falcons.
Pineiro went without a field-goal try for the second time this season, and he hasn't made multiple field goals in a contest since Week 1. To make matters worse, the kicker missed an extra-point try for the second straight week, and he's now 21-for-25 on PATs over the first seven games this season. With the 49ers off next week, Pineiro's next chance to be more involved will come in Week 9 against the Raiders.

Jacoby Brissett QB | ARI
Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Red-zone struggles persist in Week 7
Brissett completed 27 of 48 passes for 272 yards and a touchdown while rushing seven times for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos.
After failing to score a touchdown in the Week 6 win over the Rams, Brissett and the Cardinals mustered only one touchdown on five trips into the red zone Sunday. Brissett averaged a meager 5.7 yards per pass attempt but inflated his numbers with heavy volume. He has a 3-16 record since taking over as Arizona's starting QB while throwing at least 40 passes in 10 of those 19 starts. Brissett's likely to post a more efficient passing performance in Week 8 against a far more permissive Cowboys pass defense.

Michael Wilson WR | ARI
Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Catches four of eight Week 7 targets
Wilson caught four of eight targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos. He also rushed twice for 11 yards.
Wilson finished second on the team behind Trey McBride in catches, receiving yards and targets. The fourth-year wideout has drawn at least seven targets in every game this season, but Wilson has exceeded 56 receiving yards only twice in seven tries. Wilson hasn't stepped up since the Cardinals traded away Marvin Harrison, but the upcoming Week 8 matchup with Dallas' beatable secondary creates a potential breakout opportunity for Arizona's No. 1 wide receiver.

Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Eight catches in Week 7 win
Nacua brought in eight of 10 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for 10 yards in the Rams' 35-21 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Nacua led the Rams in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, playing through his calf injury without issue while also helping make up for the absence of Davante Adams (IR, hamstring). Nacua rounded out his busy day with his second touchdown catch of the season, which came from 11 yards out with just over four minutes remaining in the second quarter. Nacua figures to be even more involved than usual while Adams is sidelined, and he'll take a 45-485-2 line into a Week 8 home matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

Jordan Love QB | GB
Packers' Jordan Love: Throws two more TDs
Love completed 27 of 45 passes for 274 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 20-17 loss in Detroit.
Love and the Packers welcomed back top RB Josh Jacobs to the lineup, but season-long woes in the team's running game didn't improve, with the team averaging 3.2 YPC on its 19 carries. Head coach Matt LaFleur thus turned to the air to get the offense moving, and Love spread the ball around liberally, with nine different pass catchers being targeted, and six of those players recording at least two catches. Love now has thrown a touchdown in all seven games this season, including exactly two TDs on six occasions, but he's also sitting on a subpar 59.8 completion percentage on the campaign. He and the offense will attempt to get right Thursday night versus the Panthers.

Spencer Shrader K | IND
Colts' Spencer Shrader: Tough day in loss
Shrader went 1-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings.
Shrader entered Week 7 without having missed a field-goal try over the team's first six contests, but he was unable to remain perfect. The kicker was able to make a 43-yard field goal as time expired in the first half, giving Indianapolis a 10-6 lead at the break. Shrader then missed a 56-yard try wide left in the third quarter before pushing a 48-yard attempt wide right in the fourth quarter. He has now gone 19-for-21 on field-goal tries while making 13 of 14 extra-point attempts over seven contests this season.
-
Jordan Watkins WR | SF
49ers' Jordan Watkins: Solid numbers in Week 7 loss
Watkins brought in three of six targets for 56 yards in the 49ers' 29-20 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
With the 49ers' receiving corps down all of Mike Evans (Achilles), Deebo Samuel (hamstring), De'Zhaun Stribling (IR, ankle) and Demarcus Robinson (IR, ankle), Watkins saw an expanded role and made good use of the opportunity. All three of Watkins' catches went for first downs, and he finished third in receiving yards and targets while also tying for that slotting in receptions. The 2025 fourth-round pick's performance was encouraging, but he's likely to slide back down the depth chart since the wide-receiver room could be much healthier by the time San Francisco returns to action against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 8 following the Week 8 bye.

Jonah Coleman RB | DEN
Broncos' Jonah Coleman: Team-high nine carries in return
Coleman (ankle) rushed nine times for 54 yards and caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cardinals.
Coleman led the team in carries in his return from injured reserve and finished second behind Bo Nix (73) in rushing yards. J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey combined for just 29 rushing yards on nine rushing attempts, though Dobbins had a rushing touchdown and Harvey had a receiving touchdown. Coleman was notably the team's running back of choice as the Broncos ran out the clock in the fourth quarter, and head coach Sean Payton said after the game that the team has "got to get (Coleman) more touches," per Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site. Denver will likely continue to utilize all three running backs in Week 8 against the Chiefs, but this was an encouraging performance for Coleman in the rookie fourth-round pick's first action since Week 2.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Racks up 16 touches in return
Jacobs rushed 11 times for 36 yards and hauled in five of seven targets for 55 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 20-17 loss at Detroit.
After missing the first six games of the season while on the commissioner's exempt list, Jacobs claimed the lion's share of the Packers' backfield touches, with MarShawn Lloyd handling the other eight (for 35 total yards). Meanwhile, an active Pierre Strong didn't get a touch, and Kaleb Johnson was inactive as a healthy scratch. Running room continued to be difficult to find for Green Bay's RBs, with the team overall averaging just 3.2 YPC on Sunday. Jacobs likely will hold on to a majority share of the reps among the group moving forward, with the team next set to host the Panthers on Thursday night.
