Raiders | Kirk Cousins on possible Mendoza switch: 'If I'm not the best option, I don't want to be out there' Sun Oct 25, 10:13 PM
Raiders QB Kirk Cousins addressed the possibility of being replaced by rookie QB Fernando Mendoza, saying, "If I'm not the best option, I don't want to be out there."
| Footballguys view: After three straight wins to start the season, the decision to ride with Cousins was looking like the wise choice. Now that the Raiders have lost four in a row, it's fair to wonder whether the time for Mendoza, the first-pick overall in April's draft, to take over the starting job is coming. The Raiders play the Jets in Week 8. |

Cardinals | LaFleur says Jacoby Brissett will continue to be QB1 after loss to Broncos Sun Oct 25, 07:47 PM
Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said on Sunday that QB Jacoby Brissett will continue to be the team's starting quarterback following the 30-16 home loss to the Broncos. LaFleur appeared to understand that questions about the quarterback position will keep coming.
| Footballguys view: LaFleur appeared to understand that questions about the quarterback position will keep coming. But Brissett was hit repeatedly by the Broncos. He was sacked three times, and the Broncos were credited with 13 quarterback hits. Perhaps things will get better in a more favorable matchup against the Cowboys in Week 8. |

Rams | Corum runs for 93 yards, one TD in win over Raiders Sun Oct 25, 07:40 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Blake Corum ran 17 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 8 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 8.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.6.

Rams | Allen catches 4 passes for 20 yards, two touchdowns in win over Raiders Sun Oct 25, 07:40 PM
Los Angeles Rams TE Davis Allen caught 4 passes for 20 yards and two touchdowns on 5 targets in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 2.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.0.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Sarah Barshop noted, outside of Puka Nacua, just one Rams wide receiver had a catch: Konata Mumpfield, for 15 yards. Instead, the Rams turned to their tight ends (Allen, Colby Parkinson, and Tyler Higbee) and their running backs (Kyren Williams and Blake Corum). It led to their highest-scoring game of the season. |

Las Vegas Raiders WR Tre Tucker caught 5 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He was projected for 9.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.8.

Rams | Stafford throws for 195 yards, three touchdowns in win over Raiders Sun Oct 25, 07:40 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford completed 23 of 29 passes for 195 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 18.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.5.
| Footballguys view: Stafford led four consecutive and methodical touchdown drives before halftime to blow the score wide open and build a 28-6 lead at the half. But the catalyst for the offensive success was the run game, as the Rams ran at will and amassed 103 rushing yards in the first half and a season-high 199 in total. Despite the low overall passing numbers, the three touchdowns made for a solid fantasy showing for Stafford. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle's injury categorized as a chest injury Sun Oct 25, 07:35 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle's injury was categorized as a chest injury by the team before Sunday's win over the Cardinals ended.
| Footballguys view: The injury occurred on a reverse with under five minutes remaining in the 30-16 triumph. Waddle fumbled the pitch from quarterback Bo Nix and dove to recover the ball as a defender landed on top of him. Broncos head coach Sean Payton criticized his own play call per the reverse in which Waddle was injured. Waddle caught four passes for 48 yards on Sunday. He has 26 receptions for 276 yards and one score through seven games. We'll have more on Waddle's status for the team's Week 8 game against the Chiefs in coming days. |

Lions | Goff throws for 303 yards, two touchdowns in win over Packers Sun Oct 25, 07:31 PM
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 22 of 32 passes for 303 yards with 2 touchdowns and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 19.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.0.
| Footballguys view: Goff continued his excellent season, and the Lions, despite some miscues and stalled drives, still racked up 415 yards of offense, got 26 first downs, and punted only twice. That normally leads to more than 20 points, but they'll take the win. The Lions face an aggressive Minnesota defense in Week 8. |

Lions | Williams catches 5 passes for 91 yards, two touchdowns in win over Packers Sun Oct 25, 07:31 PM
Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams caught 5 passes for 91 yards and two touchdowns on 9 targets in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 10.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.6.
| Footballguys view: Williams is becoming more of a focal point in the offense. His two touchdown catches Sunday made him the third player this season with multiple receiving TDs in back-to-back games, joining Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The Lions play ther Vikings in Week 8. |

Lions | Gibbs runs for 116 yards in win over Packers Sun Oct 25, 07:31 PM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs ran 29 times for 116 yards, also caught 5 passes for 27 yards on 6 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 24.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.8.

Broncos | Nix throws for 222 yards, a touchdown in win over Cardinals Sun Oct 25, 07:31 PM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix completed 15 of 29 passes for 222 yards with 1 touchdown and ran 7 times for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was projected for 16.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.2.
| Footballguys view: Nix, who has been reluctant to throw downfield to this point in the season, connected with Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton for a combined seven completions for 93 yards, and his screen pass to RJ Harvey went for a 52-yard touchdown, finally delivering some legitimate production. His 62-yard scoring run added to that. The Broncos play the Chiefs in Week 8. |

Cardinals | McBride catches 10 passes for 111 yards, a touchdown in loss to Broncos Sun Oct 25, 07:31 PM
Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride caught 10 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 12.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.1.
| Footballguys view: It was National Tight Ends Day on Sunday, and McBride, as he does on game days, holiday or not, was excellent again. As CBSSports.com notes, McBride became the first tight end in NFL history to record 400 regular-season catches in his first four seasons, bolstering his career total to 406. McBride has recorded at least seven receptions in all seven games this season while scoring four times heading into a Week 8 matchup with a weak Dallas pass defense. |

Vikings | Aaron Jones to have MRI on knee Monday, hope is it's not long-term Sun Oct 25, 07:14 PM
Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. will have an MRI on his knee on Monday. The hope is that the injury won't be a long-term one.
| Footballguys view: Jones made an early exit from Sunday's win over the Colts after a 17-yard gain in the fourth quarter. He ran 8 times for 26 yards and also caught 1 pass for 0 yards on 1 target before aggravating an existing injury. Jordan Mason, who averaged 4.5 yards per carry in his return from IR Sunday, will be available to pick up any slack. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle down after 'gadget call', lands hard on left shoulder Sun Oct 25, 07:09 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle went down on the field after a gadget play in Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Waddle landed hard on his left shoulder and looked "very uncomfortable" as he was assisted off the ground.
| Footballguys view: Waddle got hurt recovering a fumble on a broken play. The Broncos got a win and Bo Nix should be more confident heading into a showdown with the Chiefs in Week 8, but losing Waddle for the game would be a big blow for this inconsistent at best offense. Waddle was at seven targets and four catches for 48 yards when his afternoon was ended by this injury. |

Rams | TE Colby Parkinson returns to the game Sun Oct 25, 07:00 PM
Rams TE Colby Parkinson has returned to Sunday's game against the Raiders after being injured in the third quarter.
| Footballguys view: Parkinson finished the day with five catches (on six targets) for 48 yards. Both Parkinson and Tyler Higbee lost a pair of touchdowns to fellow tight end Davis Allen in this one. Allen was TE4 heading into the Sunday night game. |

Giants | Isaiah Likely says he's OK after hobbling through second half Sun Oct 25, 06:44 PM
Giants TE Isaiah Likely said he was OK after hobbling at times through the second half of Sunday's win over the Texans.
| Footballguys view: Likely caught 2 passes for 12 yards on 4 targets in Houston. He was projected for 11.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.2. The Giants head into their bye with a lot of players banged up and fighting through injuries. |

Giants | Tyrone Tracy's hamstring injury doesn't seem 'anything serious' Sun Oct 25, 06:44 PM
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s hamstring injury did not seem like anything serious after Sunday's win over the Texans. Tracy left the game with the hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Tracy scored before he left the game, but did not return. The Giants head into their bye with multiple players dealing with apparently minor issues. We'll be monitoring their status as developments warrent. |

Giants | Skattebo felt hamstring on long OT run but 'avoided straining it' Sun Oct 25, 06:44 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo felt his hamstring on his long run in overtime of Sunday's win over the Texans, but he avoided straining it.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo ran 17 times for 124 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for -3 yards. He was RB11 through Sunday's late-afternoon window. As The Athletic's Dan Duggan reported, the mood in the Giants' locker room after the game was one of relief that the bye is here, with a lot of players banged up and fighting through injuries. We'll be following up on all of them as developments warrant. |

49ers | Christian McCaffrey confident thigh injury not long-term: 'I know I'll be alright' Sun Oct 25, 06:01 PM
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey said after Sunday's 29-20 loss to the Falcons that he was confident his thigh injury is not a long-term issue. "It sucks because it feels like I was going on a run there and then my leg just died on me. Tried to get it going for the whole rest of the game. I know I'll be alright," McCaffrey said. He had returned to the field in uniform to start the second half.
| Footballguys view: "Just died on me" doesn't sound great, but the bye is coming at a perfect time. McCaffrey hasn't been a truly elite fantasy back this season, but he has delivered a solid fantasy RB1 for the mid-first round pick it took to land him, which is just fine. We'll monitor the 49ers beat for any additional information on his injury during the bye. |

Packers | WR Matthew Golden returns to the game Sun Oct 25, 05:31 PM
Packers WR Matthew Golden has returned to Sunday's game against the Lions after being injured in the second quarter.
| Footballguys view: Although Golden finished the game with a team-high 12 targets, he was only able to convert them into six catches for 39 yards. Despite the quiet game, Golden remains a solid fantasy starter with upside going forward. The Packers play the Panthers on Thursday night in Week 8. |

Texans | Jaylin Noel has turf toe injury, wearing a boot after loss to Giants Sun Oct 25, 04:55 PM
Texans WR Jaylin Noel has a turf toe injury, which is why he did not return to Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Giants, head coach DeMeco Ryans said. Noel is wearing a boot. He finished with two catches for -3 yards.
| Footballguys view: Even before the injury, Noel was unable to build on his 107-yard outing from Week 6 against the Jaguars in London. The Texans have a Week 8 bye, but turf toe injuries can linger. We'll watch for more over the off week. The good news for Houston is their receiver depth. With Tank Dell's return and the acquisition of Marvin Harrison Jr., the Texans have ample firepower to work alongside Nico Collins. |

Giants | Skattebo felt something in his hamstring, 'Good thing we have a bye week' Sun Oct 25, 04:38 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo said after Sunday's win over the Texans that he felt something in his hamstring on the run that set up RB Devin Singletary's game-winning touchdown. Skattebo said he was not sliding on purpose, but knew the Giants were in field-goal range so he slid. "Good thing we have a bye week," Skattebo said.

Giants | Skattebo runs for 124 yards, one TD in win over Texans Sun Oct 25, 04:26 PM
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo ran 17 times for 124 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for -3 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 6.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.6.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo ran stronger as the game went on, and his 42-yard run in overtime set up the Giants to win before Devin Singletary finished the game with a 26-yard touchdown run. It looked like Skattebo did pull up on that last run, but he should be okay for Week 9 after the Giants bye next week because Skattebo said he did not strain his hamstring, although it's good that the bye week is up. Skattebo's value is back up with this strong performance by the whole offense, even if he is banged up and the Texans defense isn't what it used to be. |

Giants | Singletary runs for 41 yards, one TD in win over Texans Sun Oct 25, 04:26 PM
New York Giants RB Devin Singletary ran 5 times for 41 yards and a touchdown and also caught 3 passes for 14 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 3.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 13.0.

Giants | Likely held to 2 catches for 12 yards in win over Texans Sun Oct 25, 04:26 PM
New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely caught 2 passes for 12 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 11.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.2.
| Footballguys view: Likely has been putting up massive ceiling games in the "Rashee Rice" role from Matt Nagy's offense, but he was quiet with JJ McCarthy showing off his arm strength and talent with decisive downfield throws in this win. Likely is still a starting fantasy tight end heading into the bye, although the quality of his chemistry with JJ McCarthy is still a work in progress. |
Isaiah Likely player page
Texans | Collins held to 2 catches for 6 yards in loss to Giants Sun Oct 25, 04:26 PM
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins caught 2 passes for 6 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the New York Giants. He was projected for 14.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.6.
| Footballguys view: Collins has been a dud the last two weeks now that the team has added Marvin Harrison Jr. and Tank Dell returned to play from a catastrophic leg injury he suffered in 2024. This offseason will remain pass-heavy because the Texans can't run the ball, so Collins could be a buy low during the bye. CJ Stroud is spreading the ball around, but the team should re-focus the pass offense on their best wide receiver during the bye. |
Nico Collins player page
Giants | Nabers catches 7 passes for 111 yards in win over Texans Sun Oct 25, 04:26 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers caught 7 passes for 111 yards on 9 targets in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 13.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.6.
| Footballguys view: Anyone who suffered through Justin Jefferson's poor season with JJ McCarthy last season had to laugh when they saw this stat line. Nabers value is very much intact with McCarthy and he should appreciate the rest his banged up shoulder and surgically repaired knee will get during the bye. |

Colts | Steichen has not considered QB change, has 'a lot of faith' in Daniel Jones Sun Oct 25, 04:11 PM
Colts head coach Shane Steichen said on Sunday that he has not considered a quarterback change because he has "a lot of faith" in QB Daniel Jones. Steichen's comments came after Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings.
| Footballguys view: The Colts season is basically over, so don't be surprised if Steichen's tune changes a little next week unless the Colts can upset the Jaguars. The team might want to see what they have in Anthony Richardson before hitting the reset button in the offseason. Jones didn't play well against the Vikings, but to be fair to him, most quarterbacks are going to have trouble moving the ball against them this season. |

Browns | Judkins runs for 96 yards, two TDs in win over Titans Sun Oct 25, 04:11 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins ran 17 times for 96 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 1 pass for 8 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 10.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.9.
| Footballguys view: Judkins got out of the gate quickly with a long run to set up the first Browns touchdown, which he scored. He added a second score and showed that the ankle injury to the joint he had surgically repaired after dislocating it last season isn't a problem heading into the Week 8 showdown at Pittsburgh. |

Browns | Concepcion catches 8 passes for 129 yards in win over Titans Sun Oct 25, 04:11 PM
Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion Jr. ran 3 times for 23 yards and also caught 8 passes for 129 yards on 10 targets in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 8.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.2.
| Footballguys view: For the first time this season, Concepcion looked like the swift and dynamic offensive weapon that the Browns were picturing when they took him in the first round. He should be added as a weekly WR3/Flex option in PPR leagues if he was dropped after his slow start. |
KC Concepcion Jr. player page
Browns | Watson throws for 308 yards in win over Titans Sun Oct 25, 04:11 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson completed 25 of 36 passes for 308 yards and 1 interception and ran 3 times for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 16.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.2.
| Footballguys view: Watson posted a solid fantasy line thanks to some big yardage numbers in the passing game and a short touchdown run that showed off his speed, but this was against a bottom-dwelling Titans defense. He had a good game against the Steelers in a win earlier this season, but Watson isn't a favorable Brock Purdy bye coverage play against them in Pittsburgh, where the Browns usually struggle. |

Titans | Pollard runs for 129 yards, three TDs in loss to Browns Sun Oct 25, 04:11 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard ran 25 times for 129 yards and three touchdowns and also caught 3 passes for 26 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He was projected for 11.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 35.0.
| Footballguys view: He opened the scoring for the Titans with a 36-yard run and was the most consistent performer for this somewhat inept offense. Pollard has been the subject of trade speculation for most of the season, and this game should get fans of teams in the market for a running back at the trade deadline clamor for his services. Pollard was the clear lead back with Tyjae Spears inactive, and he should be again next week against the Bengals - assuming he doesn't get dealt. Consider Pollard a high floor RB2 next week. |

Falcons | Penix throws for 213 yards, three touchdowns in win over 49ers Sun Oct 25, 04:11 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. completed 25 of 34 passes for 213 yards with 3 touchdowns in Sunday's 29-20 win over the San Francisco 49ers. He was projected for 15.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.4.
| Footballguys view: Penix posted his best fantasy showing of the year against a 49ers defense that seemed tired heading into the bye. The Falcons face a tough Bucs pass defense next week, so Penix is not a priority pickup to cover Brock Purdy's bye from the waiver wire for Week 8. |

Bengals | Burrow throws for 292 yards, four touchdowns in win over Ravens Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 22 of 30 passes for 292 yards with 4 touchdowns in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was projected for 19.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.9.
| Footballguys view: Burrow was down 13-0 at halftime. He led five straight touchdown drives in the second half to send the Ravens fans to the exits before the fourth quarter was over. The Bengals running game and defense raised some questions in Week 7, but Burrow reminded us that they can win on the strength of his connection with Tee Higgins, Ja'Marr Chase, and a host of tight ends. They'll face the Titans in a very favorabvle matchup next week. |

Ravens | Flowers catches 8 passes for 137 yards, a touchdown in loss to Bengals Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers caught 8 passes for 137 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was projected for 12.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.7.
| Footballguys view: Flowers got off to a hot start as new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle got him open deep, exposing poor play in the Bengals secondary. Flowers first ceiling game with Tyler Huntley is another great sign for his strong WR1 value with Lamar Jackson likely to return in a good matchup against the Bills next week. |

Bengals | Higgins catches 6 passes for 148 yards, a touchdown in win over Ravens Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught 6 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown on 7 targets in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was projected for 11.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.8.
| Footballguys view: Higgins had the monster game - really monster half - against a Ravens defense that usually struggles to slow down Joe Burrow and company. New head coach Jesse Minter had this defense playing well early in the season, but they are going into next week's game at Buffalo licking their wounds. Higgins will face the hapless Titans defense that gave up a 300 yard passing game to Deshaun Watson today. |

Jets | Taylor catches 5 passes for 62 yards, two touchdowns in loss to Dolphins Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
New York Jets TE Mason Taylor caught 5 passes for 62 yards and two touchdowns on 6 targets in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 4.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.7.
| Footballguys view: First round pick Kenyon Sadiq had a breakout game earlier this season against the Lions, but Taylor was the primary receiving tight end in this game. Taylor also caught a two-point conversion in another sign that he is the most trusted receiving tight end for the Jets right now. If you need to pick someone up from the waiver wire to cover George Kittle or Isaiah Likely's bye, Taylor is a viable choice who should be out there. |

Dolphins | Willis throws for 208 yards, two touchdowns in win over Jets Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis completed 14 of 21 passes for 208 yards with 2 touchdowns and ran 8 times for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 15.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.0.
| Footballguys view: Willis led touchdown drives of 60, 76, and 91 yards in the first half in a great sign that the bye was time spent well for him and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. Willis's first true ceiling game of the season also coincided with the return of rookie third round pick wideout Caleb Douglas, who scored twice, including a 63-yard catch and run score. Consider Willis a boom/bust QB1 who should be added from the waiver wire, even in short bench leagues (unless you have two strong QB options already). |

| Footballguys view: Gordon proved himself to be the kind of back that can salt away a win with tough fourth quarter running. Head coach Jeff Hafley praised Gordon's situational value in the first win of the year in a sign that he could easily be a "thunder" to De'Von Achane's lightning next season after Achane returns from an ACL tear. In the meantime, Gordon is a strong RB2 bordering on RB1 value heading into a matchup with the Patriots. |
