Dalton completed 22 of 30 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Raiders.

Dalton found tailback Alvin Kamara on both of his scores. Without any turnovers or sacks, it was a clean performance from the veteran signal-caller, who was picked off three times in the Week 7 defeat to the Cardinals. On the back of his first multi-touchdown win as a Saint, Dalton has helped his stock ahead of his upcoming matchup versus the Ravens.

Lawrence completed 18 of 31 passes for 133 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Broncos. He added three rushes for 15 yards.

Lawrence had a tough task facing one of the best secondaries in the league, but the results were particularly ugly. He averaged only 4.3 yards per attempt and threw multiple interceptions in a game for only the second time this season -- one of which came at Denver's goal line. After starting the campaign with multiple touchdown passes in three of the team's first four games, Lawrence has now failed to do so in four consecutive matchups.

Wilson completed 18 of 30 passes for 252 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Jaguars. He added four rushes for 17 yards.

In contrast to Denver's Week 6 loss, Wilson got off to a slow start in Sunday's win, as he had 19 passing yards and an interception through the team's first three offensive possessions. However, he managed to effectively distribute the ball from there, particularly to Jerry Jeudy and Greg Dulcich while also finding KJ Hamler for a 47-yard gain to set up the game-winning touchdown. Wilson has still managed multiple touchdowns in a game only once this season, but he managed 8.4 yards per attempt -- his second-highest mark of the campaign.

Thompson (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Thompson is considered a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup in Detroit, after he recently overcame a thumb injury he suffered in Week 6 versus the Vikings. While Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater remain healthy, the rookie will likely continue watching from the sidelines.

Carr's top pass-catching option Davante Adams (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Also active is wideout Mack Hollins (heel), though Darren Waller (hamstring) won't suit up Sunday. Adams, Hollins and Waller all approached the contest listed as questionable, but Carr will at least have his top wide receivers (including Hunter Renfrow) available versus New Orleans, which bolsters his Week 8 fantasy prospects. Meanwhile, Foster Moreau is slated to see added tight end snaps versus New Orleans in Waller's absence.

Grier (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Bears, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Grier will be inactive for the second week in a row since starter Dak Prescott's return. With Cooper Rush backing up Prescott, the Cowboys will opt not to dress three quarterbacks.

White is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots as the Jets' No. 2 quarterback.

Beyond starter Zach Wilson, there have been unique circumstances in the Jets quarterback room this week. Chris Streveler was activated from the practice squad, but he won't end up suiting up for the Week 8 matchup. Joe Flacco -- who had been considered the primary backup to Wilson since Week 4 -- is also a healthy scratch for the contest, leaving White as the only other active option after Wilson. The second-year quarterback appeared in four games last season for the Jets and completed 66.7 percent of his passes, but he also racked up eight interceptions over that stretch.

Wilson (hamstring) is officially listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

The QB approached the contest minus an injury designation after practicing fully Friday and is in uniform Sunday. Wilson is thus on track to draw the start the start versus Jacksonville in London after sitting out Denver's 16-9 loss to the Jets in Week 7.

Tennessee has elevated Woodside from its practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's matchup against Houston, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Ryan Tannehill (ankle/illness) has been ruled out for Week 8, so Malik Willis is expected to make his first career NFL start. After the elevation, Woodside is in line to serve as the primary backup to Willis. Across 11 regular-season appearances, Woodside has completed one of three passes for seven yards and rushed 13 times for four yards.

Willis is expected to start Sunday against the Texans with Ryan Tannehill (illness/ankle) officially unable to play, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Tannehill started each of the Titans' past 49 games, but with the veteran on the mend due to an ankle sprain and also struggling with an illness, the team will turn to the 2022 third-round pick to make his first career start. It's possible Willis could actually improve a passing attack that currently ranks 25th in the NFL given Houston's defense will have to account for the rookie's explosiveness as a runner, but it's also fair to point out Willis' struggles as a passer in the preseason, which accounts for his only real action at the NFL level. Expect a heavy dose of Derrick Henry to help Willis ease his way into the contest to start, but provided the Titans uncork the athletic weapon, the Liberty product could be in for an intriguing fantasy day.
