Texans WR Tank Dell went without a catch in Sunday's loss at Green Bay. It marked the first time in his young career that Dell didn't record a reception in a game he didn't leave early. His only previous no-catch game came in Week 13 last season, when Dell suffered a season-ending leg fracture on just his ninth snap.
Jets RB Breece Hall looked in top form against Pittsburgh, totaling 141 yards on 18 touches. Five of his touches went for at least ten yards.
Packers WR Romeo Doubs led the team in targets Sunday for the first time since Week 1. He tallied game highs in receptions (8) and receiving yards (94) in the win over the Texans. Doubs drew a strong 30.3% target share and ran a route on a team-high 86.5% of QB Jordan Love's dropbacks.
Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed 21 times for 102 yards and 1 TD in a Week 7 win over the Jets. He’s now posted two straight games over 100 rushing yards for just the second time in his career.
Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. rushed 12 times for 71 yards and 1 score in Sunday's blowout win over Carolina. Robinson (knee) entered the weekend as questionable on the injury report; he was a limited practice participant Wednesday-Friday.
Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks managed to play through the shoulder issue that rendered him questionable for Sunday's win over the Texans. He snagged a 30-yard TD among 3 receptions for 48 yards. Wicks tied for second on the team in receiving yards and targets (6) but ranked just fourth among WRs in snaps and routes.
Packers RB Josh Jacobs finally caught his first career TD pass in Sunday's win over the Texans. That marked one of his 5 receptions for 16 yards. Jacobs finished second on the team in catches and scored from 8 yards out in the middle of the third quarter.
Dolphins WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle combined for 2 catches and 15 yards in Sunday's loss to the Colts. Both guys garnered only 2 targets.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones ran 14 times for 93 yards (6.6 YPC) and a TD in the Week 7 loss to the Lions. He added 23 more yards on three catches. Jones went un-touched for the game's opening TD from 34 yards out on a well-blocked play. He had four other runs of 8+ yards. The 93 total rushing yards were 13 more than any other RB has tallied vs. Detroit this season. The Lions entered Week 7 allowing just 3.6 yards per carry to RBs.
Browns TE David Njoku was predictably busy in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. He saw a 27% target share, as a trio of Cleveland QBs -- Deshaun Watson, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and Jameis Winston -- attempted double-digit passes.
Lions QB Jared Goff threw for 280 yards and two TDs in the Week 7 win over the Vikings. TE Sam LaPorta accounted for just 25 of those yards. He caught one pass on two targets. Four Lions saw more targets and five caught more passes. And this was against a defense that entered the week ranked 29th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to TEs.
Bengals RB Chase Brown led the backfield with 44 yards on 15 carries in Week 7. He didn't find the end zone but ended up playing ahead of RB Zack Moss.
Lions QB Jared Goff was nearly perfect in the Week 7 win over the Vikings, completing 22 of 25 passes (88%) for 280 yards (11.2 YPA), two TDs, and 0 INTs. That included clutch passes for RB Jahmyr Gibbs for 16 yards and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown for 14 yards on a game-winning FG drive. The performance was more impressive when you consider that Minnesota entered this one ranked first in pass defense DVOA and eighth in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs. Goff is just the second QB this season to throw more TDs than INTs against the Vikings.
Rams HC Sean McVay said after Sunday's win over the Raiders that he expects WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) back for Thursday night's game vs. the Vikings. Kupp got in three limited practices last week and was seemingly close to playing vs. Vegas. He'll return against a Minnesota defense that entered Week 7 ranked 26th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs -- and then gave up 172 yards and two TDs to Lions WRs.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's loss to the Chiefs that "we're worried" WR Brandon Aiyuk has a torn ACL. "Not confirmed yet," Shanahan added. We should get an update on Aiyuk tomorrow, but a torn ACL would end his 2024 season. His absence would mean target boosts for WR Deebo Samuel and TE George Kittle -- and put WR Jauan Jennings back into weekly starter consideration.
Bills LB Terrel Bernard left in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Titans with a right ankle injury. The team ruled him out for the rest of the game. Bernard returned to the sideline still in full uniform before the end of the game. And Buffalo had the game well in hand, leading by 14 at the start of the quarter. HC Sean McDermott said after the game we'd learn more about Bernard's injury Monday. Baylon Spector would fill in if Bernard misses time.
In a superb match-up, Williams ran for 2 TDs in the Rams win over the Raiders. He rushed 21 times for 76 yards, but did not see any targets in the game. He remains a top five RB option for the rest of the season.
Rookie Raiders TE Brock Bowers caught 10-of-14 targets for 93 yards. He failed again to find the end zone, but rewarded fantasy managers as one of the top scoring TEs again this week.
Bills RB James Cook returned from injury and had the majority of RB touches (12 compared to nine for the rest of the Bills’ RBs). Cook finished with a stat line of 12 rushes for 32 yards and a TD. Ray Davis only had five carries but ran for 41 yards and a TD.
Bills WR Amari Cooper started the game with a drop, but caught a TD pass to start the day. He ended up catching 4-of-5 targets for 66 yards and a TD. It was a fine performance after joining the team this week.
