  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Cowboys' George Pickens: Productive in Lamb's return

    Pickens finished with four receptions on six targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over Washington.

    The Cowboys' No. 1 wideout, CeeDee Lamb (ankle), made a successful return following a three-week layoff Sunday, producing a 5-110-1 receiving line in a blowout victory. That didn't cause Pickens to cool off, but it may have played a role in the talented No. 2 receiver's scoring streak ending at five games. Pickens' six targets Sunday were closer to the 7.2 he averaged in the three games Lamb was active for, as opposed to the 8.7 targets Pickens received filling in as Dallas' No. 1 option. Look for both talented starters to be featured in a tough road matchup against the Broncos next Sunday.

  • Jalen Coker WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jalen Coker: No catches Sunday

    Coker was targeted twice but didn't record a catch in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.

    The Holy Cross product was sidelined for Carolina's first six games this season due to a quadriceps injury, and he made minimal impact in his return Sunday. Coker operated as the team's No. 3 wide receiver, playing behind Tetairoa McMillan (3-33-0) and Xavier Legette (9-92-1). His role in the Panthers' offense will likely continue to grow as the season progresses, but he's not expected to carry much fantasy value in Week 8 against the Bills.

  • DJ Moore WR | CHI

    Bears' DJ Moore: Leads team in receiving yards

    Moore secured three of five targets for 43 yards and rushed once for nine yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Moore went from still being in a DC-area hospital Tuesday morning following the Bears' Week 6 win over the Commanders to pacing Chicago in receiving yards and sharing the team lead in receptions Sunday. Moore didn't look any worse for wear after suffering a groin injury versus Washington, and he's now cleared 40 receiving yards in consecutive games for the second time this season. The Bears' passing attack remains a relatively low-volume one most weeks, but Moore will remain an important target for Caleb Williams in a Week 8 road matchup against the Ravens next Sunday afternoon.

  • Trey McBride TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey McBride: Two trips to end zone against Pack

    McBride caught 10 of 13 targets for 74 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Packers.

    The fourth-year tight end hasn't missed a beat with Jacoby Brissett under center instead of Kyler Murray (foot). McBride hauled in scores of 15 yards in the second quarter and 12 yards in the third, and through two games working with Brissett, he's delivered an 18-146-3 line on 24 targets as Arizona's clear No. 1 downfield option. With the Cardinals on bye in Week 8, Murray could get enough time to recover, but no matter who he's catching passes from, McBride could be poised for another impressive performance in Week 9 against the Cowboys.

  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Scores first receiving TD of career

    Skattebo rushed 16 times for 60 yards and caught three of six targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-32 loss to Denver.

    Skattebo followed up the first multi-score game of his career with his first trip to the end zone as a receiver through seven pro appearances. The bruising tailback had actually been fairly active in the pass game prior to Sunday's touchdown catch, averaging 3.3 receptions and 25.8 receiving yards in the previous six games. Skattebo did finish below 4.0 yards per carry for the third time this season, but he is still commanding the lion's share of touches out of the Giants' backfield. Fantasy managers should continue riding Skattebo next Sunday against the Eagles in a rematch from Week 6, when the rookie hit paydirt thrice.

  • Zonovan Knight RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Bam Knight: Leading rusher in Week 7 loss

    Knight carried the ball 14 times for 57 yards and caught three of four targets for seven yards in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Packers.

    The former Jet and Lion led the Cardinals in rushing yards as he got 17 touches to Michael Carter's nine, although neither back got into the end zone. The Cardinals get a Week 8 bye, but Knight will have at least one more game in a prominent backfield role in Week 9 against the Cowboys, with Trey Benson (knee) required to miss one more game before being eligible to come off IR. Over the three games Benson has missed so far, Knight has collected 142 scrimmage yards and two rushing TDs.

  • Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Blanks in return

    Sanders was targeted twice but didn't record a catch in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.

    Sanders returned to in-game action Sunday after missing the Panthers' last three contests due to an ankle injury. However, he wasn't heavily involved in the team's offensive game plan, drawing just two targets. The second-year pro has now caught 11 of 16 targets for 92 yards through four games this season. Although Sanders is expected to continue operating as the Panthers' top tight end in the Week 8 matchup against the Bills, he unlikely to carry much fantasy value, especially if Bryce Young (ankle) is sidelined.

  • Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Tosses two TDs in Week 7 start

    Brissett completed 25 of 36 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Packers. He added 26 rushing yards on six carries and lost a fumble.

    Making his second straight start in place of Kyler Murray (foot), Brissett had another productive performance as he connected with Trey McBride for a 15-yard score in the second quarter and a 12-yard strike in the third. The veteran QB has thrown for 599 yards in place of Murray -- the best two-game stretch of his career -- with a 4:1 TD:INT, but with Arizona on bye in Week 8, Brissett may be returning to the bench for a Week 9 tilt against the Cowboys' porous defense.

  • Tommy Tremble TE | CAR

    Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Struggles in Week 7

    Tremble caught his only target for no yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.

    The 25-year-old returned to his reserve role with Ja'Tavion Sanders active in the Week 7 win. In the four games that Sanders has played in this season, Tremble has caught all seven of his targets for 38 yards. He's expected to continue operating as a depth option in Carolina's tight-end corps ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Bills.

  • Tucker Kraft TE | GB

    Packers' Tucker Kraft: Finds end zone again

    Kraft caught five of 10 targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Cardinals.

    While the third-year tight end wasn't exactly efficient with his team-high target volume, Kraft did come up big when it counted, hauling in a seven-yard TD from Jordan Love early in the fourth quarter. Kraft has four touchdowns in six games to begin the season, posting a 23-326-4 line on 32 targets, and he figures to be productive again in Week 8 against a Steelers defense that's been vulnerable to TEs this season.
