Rice corralled all nine of his targets for 93 yards and a touchdown while adding two carries for 12 rushing yards in Monday's 28-7 win over Washington.

Rice stayed red-hot following his two-score debut in Week 7 with another trip to the end zone against the Commanders on Monday Night Football. In addition to his stellar receiving totals, the 25-year-old chipped in a pair of rare rushing attempts, matching the combined number of attempts from his first two seasons as a pro. Rice has accumulated 147 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns on 21 touches while reclaiming the No. 1 receiver role for Kansas City in two starts since returning from a six-game suspension. Fantasy managers have to feel great about Rice's role and production heading into a potential shootout against Buffalo on Sunday.

Samuel (heel) brought in three of six targets for 11 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Commanders' 28-7 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.

Samuel's return from a one-game absence did next to nothing to boost the offense, one that was led by QB Marcus Mariota due to Jayden Daniels' (hamstring) absence. The veteran wideout tied a season low in receiving yards, and he has an anemic 7-26-0 line on 11 targets over his last two appearances overall. Samuel could be a primary beneficiary if Daniels is able to return for Sunday night's Week 9 matchup against the Seahawks.

McLaurin said after Monday night's loss to the Chiefs that his quad is "alright," and he'll take it "day by day," Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

McLaurin left the game in the fourth quarter with the Commanders trailing by multiple touchdowns, so perhaps it was a bit precautionary on Washington's end to keep him out for the remainder of the contest. However, it does sound like the veteran wideout did aggravate the previous quad injury that kept him out the previous four games prior to his return to action Monday. The Commanders now are on a short week ahead of next Sunday's home game against the Seahawks. McLaurin should be considered questionable for the Week 9 affair.

Vele compiled one reception (on five targets) for 10 yards during Sunday's 23-3 loss versus the Buccaneers.

Vele failed to capitalize on his season-high five targets. The 27-year-old has gone without a target in three of the seven games he's played so far this season. The Saints benched starting quarterback Spencer Rattler for rookie Tyler Shough in the third quarter, but they still finished with 51 passing attempts as a team. Regardless of who's under center for New Orleans, Vele and veteran wideout Brandin Cooks should continue to see limited targets while operating behind New Orleans' top three pass catchers, Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and tight end Juwan Johnson. The Saints' next face the Rams in Week 9 on Sunday.

Cooks recorded three receptions (on four targets) for 22 yards during Sunday's 23-3 defeat to the Buccaneers.

Cooks logged more than one catch and one target for the first time since Week 4. The Saints' passing offense saw an uptick in passing attempts (51) despite benching starter Spencer Rattler for rookie Tyler Shough in the third quarter. Cooks logged one fewer target than second-year wideout Devaughn Vele, while both played supplementary roles behind top three pass catchers Chris Olave (12), Rashid Shaheed (12) and tight end Juwan Johnson (eight). Fantasy managers should expect a similar dispersal of targets during the Week 8 contest versus the Rams on Sunday.

The Titans reverted Proche to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Proche got his second elevation of the campaign ahead of Sunday's loss to Indianapolis and played five of Tennessee's 71 snaps on offense along with four snaps on special teams. He didn't log any touches or targets. Proche's elevation came as a result of Calvin Ridley (hamstring) and Bryce Oliver (knee) missing the game, and it may take both wideouts being absent again in Week 9 for Proche to be elevated.

Jefferson recorded one reception on eight targets for six yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Colts.

Jefferson was on the field for 78 percent of offensive snaps with Calvin Ridley (hamstring) sidelined again. He managed to match Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike in targets, but Jefferson was extremely inefficient with that opportunity. Jefferson should continue to see an expanded role so long as Ridley is sidelined, but his fantasy value still remains very limited.

McLaurin (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Monday night's game against the Chiefs.

McLaurin was spotted on the sideline with his helmet on in the fourth quarter, but he didn't take the field with the offense and is being labeled as questionable. McLaurin, of course, missed the previous four games with a quad injury, so it appears as if he aggravated the issue. Prior to exiting, McLaurin reeled in three of four targets for 54 yards and one touchdown. Chris Moore, Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane would be in line for additional offensive reps while McLaurin is out.

Ayomanor recorded four catches (on eight targets) for 52 yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Colts.

Ayomanor had a mixed showing, as he connected with Cam Ward for long gains of 26 and 14 yards to turn in his highest yardage total since Week 2. However, he also had an apparent miscommunication with Ward on a potential deep catch early in the second quarter, one play after being called for offensive pass interference. Ayomanor has been overshadowed by fellow rookie Chimere Dike in recent weeks, but he earned a career-high eight targets in Sunday's loss and should retain a key role in Tennessee's offense for the rest of the season.

Humphrey reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday.

Humphrey was elevated each of the past three weeks and played a major role in New York's offense, logging at least 64 percent of the team's offensive snaps each week. However, after producing four catches on eight targets for 55 yards in Week 6, Humphrey didn't make any catches on two targets over his subsequent two games. Still, with Malik Nabers (knee) on injured reserve and the Giants getting very little production from their wideouts outside of Wan'Dale Robinson, there's certainly a chance Humphrey could continue to be called upon on game days. However, he would need to be signed to the active roster for that to happen, since he's already been elevated the maximum three times.
