  • Tanner McKee QB | PHI

    Eagles' Tanner McKee: Fails to produce TD in Week 8 loss

    McKee completed 23 of 34 passes for 212 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Commanders. He also rushed four times for 25 yards and lost a fumble.

    McKee operated without top two wide receivers DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) for a second consecutive game and failed to throw a touchdown pass for the first time in his three-game stint as Philadelphia's starting QB. He has thrown for between 211 and 215 yards in each of his three outings since Jalen Hurts (calf) was shut down for the season. Expectations should remain tempered for McKee and Philadelphia's injury-riddled offense in Week 9 against the Giants.

  • Jets' Isaiah Williams: Snags 18-yard TD in loss

    Williams caught an 18-yard touchdown on his lone target in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.

    Williams ran a total of one route on Geno Smith's 35 dropbacks against Las Vegas, but he made it count with a red-zone touchdown. The Jets' fourth receiver behind Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper, Williams has no fantasy appeal headed into next Sunday's date with the Chiefs.

  • Makai Lemon WR | PHI

    Eagles' Makai Lemon: Leads team with six catches for 57 yards

    Lemon caught six of nine targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Commanders.

    Lemon has stepped up as Philadelphia's de facto No. 1 receiver in the ongoing absences of DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle). After setting career highs across the board with seven catches for 67 yards and his first NFL touchdown on eight targets in Week 7 against the Cowboys, Lemon led the Eagles in catches, receiving yards and targets Sunday night. The rookie 20th overall pick is building momentum ahead of a Week 9 home game against the Giants, but his target share would likely drop if Smith gains clearance to return.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Four catches in Week 8

    Goedert caught all four of his targets for 30 yards and added a two-yard run in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Commanders.

    Goedert has 15 catches for 139 receiving yards in three games since Tanner McKee took over as Philadelphia's starting QB, but the veteran TE has now gone five consecutive appearances without a TD after scoring 13 times in the span of 15 regular-season appearances through Week 1 of this season. Goedert had a ball bounce off his hands for an interception in the second half, but the play was negated by a defensive penalty, removing what would have been the lone blemish on Goedert's otherwise clean, though unimpressive, stat sheet. He'll try to snap his touchdown drought in Week 9 against the Giants.

  • Rachaad White RB | WAS

    Commanders' Rachaad White: Steps up late as team's top RB

    White rushed 11 times for 55 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for five yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles.

    Most of White's production came in a three-play span on Washington's final possession, as he ripped off a 33-yard run down to the four-yard line, followed by a three-yard gain and a one-yard touchdown run to put the game out of reach. The Commanders have divided up backfield duties while Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) is on IR, as Austin Ekeler notched eight carries, while Jeremy McNichols (foot) had five carries and one catch prior to exiting in the second half. White continues to have the highest touch floor among Washington's available running backs heading into Week 9 against the Rams, and he has scored in three of the last four games, with the previous two touchdowns both coming on receptions.

  • Noah Gray TE | KC

    Chiefs' Noah Gray: Short TD in loss to Denver

    Gray caught both of his targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Broncos.

    The Chiefs' TE2 caught a four-yard score in the third quarter, his first touchdown of the season. Kansas City uses plenty of 12 personnel, using both Travis Kelce and Gray on offense, but Gray handles more of the blocking duties. On the season, he has 14 grabs for 173 yards and a touchdown. There isn't much meat on the bone here for fantasy purposes.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | WAS

    Commanders' Stefon Diggs: Scores fifth TD in Week 8 win

    Diggs caught three of six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-10 win over the Eagles.

    Diggs scored an eight-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and the ensuing PAT tied the score at 10-10. That was the team-leading fifth receiving touchdown for Diggs in six appearances with the Commanders. He's the top option for Jayden Daniels on paper since Terry McLaurin sustained a season-ending knee injury in Washington's previous game, though Treylon Burks (81) and Antonio Williams (54) both had more receiving yards Sunday, and Williams also drew one more target than Diggs to lead the team. Diggs is poised to maintain a prominent role in Week 9 against the stout Rams secondary.

  • Jahan Dotson WR | ATL

    Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Secures two catches in loss

    Dotson caught two of five targets for 95 yards during Sunday's 16-0 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Dotson and the rest of the Falcons offense were held in check for the majority of Sunday's loss. The wide receiver did provide Atlanta's biggest highlight play of the day, connecting with quarterback Michael Penix for a 76-yard gain on the team's final possession of the day in the fourth quarter. Dotson's 95 yards were a season high, and he has now reeled in 14 of 31 targets for 337 yards and two touchdowns over eight contests to open the 2026 regular season.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Modest numbers in Week 8 win

    Daniels completed 16 of 29 passes for 217 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for 23 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles.

    Daniels found Stefon Diggs for an eight-yard touchdown in the second quarter and led four drives that ended in successful field goals before Rachaad White sealed the deal with a one-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter. Diggs has been on the receiving end of four of Daniels' six touchdown passes this season. Daniels threw for 300 yards in a Week 6 loss to the 49ers prior to Washington's Week 7 bye, but he hasn't exceeded 233 passing yards in any of his 11 other regular-season outings since the start of the 2025 campaign. Sunday night's win over Philadelphia marked Daniels' first win since Week 5 of the 2025 season, when Washington defeated the Chargers. The Commanders will take a 2-4-1 record into a Week 9 home game against the Rams.

  • Jaguars' Nate Boerkircher: Reels in long TD in easy win

    Boerkircher caught his lone target for a 31-yard touchdown in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Colts.

    The rookie tight end converted his long touchdown on a busted coverage, putting the Jaguars up 14-0 in the second quarter. Boerkircher entered Sunday with six grabs for 52 yards and a touchdown on eight targets across six games. He has minimal fantasy appeal outside of single-game DFS slates ahead of Thursday night's date with the Ravens.
