Carter (abdomen) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Commanders.

Carter entered Week 8 questionable to play after missing the team's last two contests with an injured abdomen, and it's possible that he tweaked the injury during Sunday Night Football. In his absence, Kenny Moore is a top candidate to see an increase in opportunities at safety versus Washington.

Dike caught five of six targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 43-36 overtime loss to the Bengals.

With Carnell Tate (shoulder) inactive against Cincinnati, Dike receiving the biggest playing-time boost on offense, as he ran 40 routes on Cam Ward's 46 dropbacks. Only Gunnar Helm produced more receiving yards than Dike in the Week 8 defeat, and only Wan'Dale Robinson (six) recorded more catches. With the Titans headed into their Week 9 bye, Tate figures to be back the following week versus Jacksonville. Perhaps Dike can earn more playing time at Elic Ayomanor's expense, and Calvin Ridley's name has been linked to trade speculation.

Washington caught five of six targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 loss to New England.

The five grabs led the team on the afternoon, and Washington capped his performance with a one-yard TD from Malik Willis just before halftime. It was Washington's first score of the season in seven games, and he'll take a 31-329-1 line on 45 targets into a Week 9 meeting with the Lions.

Coleman caught all three of his targets for 46 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Patriots.

Coleman led the team in receiving yards while reeling in multiple passes for the second time this season. The wide receiver's biggest moment of the game came in the fourth quarter when he connected with quarterback Malik Willis for a 35-yard score with 2:04 remaining in regulation. Coleman hasn't been a consistent part of the team's offensive approach this season, catching eight of 21 targets for 82 yards and two scores over seven contests so far.

Gordon carried the ball 19 times for 69 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Patriots. He failed to catch his only target.

For the first time since De'Von Achane (knee) went down in Week 3 and Gordon became Miami's lead back, the second-year player was held out of the end zone. Over the last four games, Gordon has amassed 360 rushing yards and three TDs on 71 totes (5.1 yards per carry), but he's added exactly zero receiving yards to his totals. Gordon will try to begin a new TD streak in Week 9 against the Lions.

Allen caught all seven targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 42-7 loss to the Jaguars.

The veteran wideout finished second on the team in targets, three behind Tyler Warren on a day Colts QBs attempted 30 passes. When on the field this season, Allen has been a consistent target-earner who runs routes that are friendly to quarterbacks in the short areas of the field. Not a big-play threat whatsoever at this stage of his career, Allen is averaging a career-low 9.0 yards per catch on 36 grabs this season. He has just one touchdown and is a low-upside WR4 for fantasy purposes headed into next Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Willis completed 21 of 32 passes for 211 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 24-19 loss to New England. He gained two rushing yards on his only carry.

The 27-year-old QB hit Malik Washington for a one-yard score just before halftime to give the Dolphins a 13-3 lead, but Willis' 35-yard strike to Kevin Coleman late in the fourth quarter was too little, too late after the Patriots dominated the second half. After throwing just one touchdown over the first four games of the season, Willis has a 5:3 TD:INT in the last three contests while also adding two scores on the ground. He'll likely need to be even more productive in Week 9 as he attempts to keep pace with Jared Goff and the Lions.

Hill rushed three times for 15 yards while catching four of eight targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Bills.

Hill garnered a team-high eight targets as Baltimore saw the departure of both starting quarterback Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe) in the first half. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards while throwing an interception in the loss, and he may be asked to start Thursday's contest against the Jaguars. Hill has now turned 24 carries into 155 yards while reeling in 17 of 25 targets for 104 yards over eight games to open the 2026 campaign.

Douglas caught all three of his targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Dolphins.

Most of his production came on a nifty 48-yard catch and run in the fourth quarter, as Douglas took a strike from Drake Maye along the sideline but then curled back toward the middle of the field and dashed the remaining 30 yards to the end zone while out-racing four Miami defenders. It was the fourth touchdown of the season for the fourth-year wideout, a new career high, and Douglas will take a 26-332-4 line on 37 targets through eight games into a Week 9 tilt against the Packers.

McNichols (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles.

The Commanders clarified the nature of McNichols' injury shortly after he headed to the locker room while exhibiting a limp in the third quarter. Prior to getting hurt, McNichols had five carries for 21 yards and caught his only target for seven yards while working in a rotational role alongside Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler in the absence of Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin).
