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 on 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 | 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 the Vikings in Week 8. |

Lions | St. Brown catches 9 passes for 153 yards in win over Packers Sun Oct 25, 07:31 PM
Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown ran 1 time for -1 yard and also caught 9 passes for 153 yards on 11 targets in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 16.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.7.

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. |

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. |

Texans | Noel held to 2 catches for -3 yards in loss to Giants Sun Oct 25, 04:26 PM
Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel caught 2 passes for -3 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the New York Giants. He was projected for 8.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.7.

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 offense will remain pass-heavy because the Texans can't run the ball, so Collins could be a buy low during the bye. C.J. Stroud is spreading the ball around, but the team should re-focus the pass offense on their best wide receiver during the bye. |

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 J.J. 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. |

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. |

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 | Wilson held to 2 catches for 26 yards in loss to Dolphins Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson caught 2 passes for 26 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 13.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.6.
| Footballguys view: Wilson was frustrated on the sideline, seen yelling in the direction of Geno Smith, although Smith said Wilson wasn't yelling at him. Earlier this week, offensive coordinator Frank Reich said that head coach Aaron Glenn gets in his ear when Wilson isn't getting the ball. Wilson didn't catch a pass until the second half this week. This could also be Glenn's final game as Jets head coach, so it's hard to know if Wilson's value is going to bounce back significantly going forward. You have to keep him in as a WR3/Flex against the Raiders next week, but this is a crowded passing game that won't face a poor defense like the Dolphins every week. |

Dolphins | Douglas catches 2 passes for 70 yards, two touchdowns in win over Jets Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas caught 2 passes for 70 yards and two touchdowns on 3 targets in Sunday's 28-25 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 6.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.0.
| Footballguys view: Douglas's 63-yard score was a catch and run set up by Douglas's speed and a heady Malik Washington block downfield. It will be difficult to know which of Douglas, Washington, and Chris Bell will be the good what-the-heck WR3/Flex from this offense in any given week, but Malik Willis was vastly improved out of the bye this week, and we should expect him to support more fantasy value in the passing game going forward. Douglas is worth a pickup this week as long as bench size allows. |

Jets | Cooper catches 5 passes for 115 yards, a touchdown in loss to Dolphins Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. caught 5 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown on 5 targets in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 7.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.0.
| Footballguys view: Cooper has back-to-back games with over 100 yards and a touchdown. The return of Adonai Mitchell didn't affect his output, although his emergence has pushed Garrett Wilson to the background. Cooper should be in lineups against the Raiders next week and stay in lineups until he cools off. |
Omar Cooper Jr. player page
Texans | Jaylin Noel leaves game with turf toe vs. Giants Sun Oct 25, 03:55 PM
Texans WR Jaylin Noel is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 7 game against the Giants with a toe injury.
| Footballguys view: Noel was coming off of a big game that got him added off of the waiver wire in many leagues, only to go down the following week and finish with two catches for -3 yards. The injury was revealed to be turf toe after the game, and Noel was seen in a boot. The Texans are going into a bye and it's not clear how much time Noel will miss. It will hurt the offense overall and the value of C.J. Stroud for as long as Noel is out. With the addition of Marvin Harrison Jr. and return of Tank Dell, along with Xavier Hutchinson being Stroud's favorite target down the stretch and the impending bye week, there's not a clear pickup as the beneficiary of any missed time by Noel. |

Buccaneers | Hurst held to 0 catches for 0 yards in win over Panthers Sun Oct 25, 03:51 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Ted Hurst III caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 43-13 win over the Carolina Panthers. He was projected for 7.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: Hurst drew a pass interference penalty, but otherwise wasn't really needed on an afternoon when Baker Mayfield threw only 11 passes. The Bucs jumped out to a 17-0 lead and never looked back. This isn't going to be a vertical pass offense -- and that's Hurst's strength -- so he's only worth rostering in very deep redraft leagues. In dynasty, on the other hand, the promising third-round pick shouldn't be on the waiver wire. |
Ted Hurst III player page
Panthers | Coker held to 1 catch for 9 yards in loss to Buccaneers Sun Oct 25, 03:51 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker caught 1 pass for 9 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 43-13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was projected for 14.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.4.
| Footballguys view: Nothing worked for the Panthers on offense today in an embarrassing blowout home loss. Don't put this on Coker, and do know that the Bucs pass defense is underrated as they have frustrated Joe Burrow, Jordan Love, and Dak Prescott so far this season. Tampa Bay will face Michael Penix and the Panthers will face Love in Green Bay next week trying to hold onto first place in the NFC South. |

Vikings | Jordan Addison not on field for key late third down against Colts Sun Oct 25, 03:43 PM

Falcons | Drake London returns to game after concussion evaluation Sun Oct 25, 02:59 PM
Falcons WR Drake London returned to Sunday's game against the 49ers just a few plays after he was evaluated for a concussion. London had been listed as questionable to return while being evaluated.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus noted, while some teams have had terrible wide receiver luck, the Falcons have stayed relatively healthy at the position this season. But a healthy London is a difference maker for the Falcons and fantasy managers. With seven catches for 66 yards and a touchdown against the 49ers, London was WR11 through Sunday's late-afternoon games. The Falcons play the Buccaneers in Week 8. |

Texans | Tank Dell to be activated from IR, slated for 'limited role of snaps' vs. Giants Sat Oct 24, 03:46 PM
The Texans will officially activate WR Tank Dell from injured reserve on Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 7 game against the Giants. Dell is slated for a "limited role of snaps" as he completes his comeback from a major knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Texans HC DeMeco Ryans said earlier in the week that Dell would play in Week 7 against the Giants. We last saw Dell on the field in Week 16 of the 2024 season, so he's put in a ton of work to get back out there. With the Texans trading for Marvin Harrison Jr. and the emergence of Jaylin Noel, targets could be difficult to find for Dell. We celebrate his return nonetheless. |

Jaguars | Execs believe Jaguars will 'seriously consider' trading Brian Thomas Jr. at deadline Sat Oct 24, 12:59 PM
"Multiple league execs believe Jacksonville will seriously consider trading Brian Thomas Jr. at the deadline now that his role has decreased," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Saturday. Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. was benched for the entire second half of last Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans after playing 15 first-half snaps without a catch on two targets, and he has nine catches for 105 yards and one touchdown through six games. Fowler identified the Chiefs and Steelers as teams looking for receiving help, though neither has been reported to have made an offer for Thomas. General manager James Gladstone said in March that Thomas was a big part of the team's future.

Rams | Davante Adams expected out five to nine more weeks with hamstring Sat Oct 24, 07:00 AM
Rams WR Davante Adams will miss Sunday's game at the Raiders and is expected to be sidelined five to nine more weeks because of a hamstring injury. "You're not going to one-for-one sub in a guy that's going to be wearing a gold jacket one day, in Davante," QB Matthew Stafford said. "It's a team effort."
| Footballguys view: Rams HC Sean McVay said earlier this week that the team is waiting for the right time to schedule a "cleanup" procedure for Adams. Reports have similar timelines, with Adams expected to miss a minimum of five weeks and a maximum of nine. Once a procedure is done on the hamstring, we'll have a better idea about any timeline for a return. |
