Doubs had three receptions on six targets for 44 yards and a two-point conversion in Sunday's 35-25 win over the Steelers.

Christian Watson (knee) made his season debut in Week 8, finishing with 85 receiving yards behind Tucker Kraft's monster receiving line (7-143-2). This left Dobbs finishing third in receiving for the Packers, although he finished second in team targets. While he didn't cash in any of Jordan Love's three touchdown passes, Doubs was able to find the end zone on a successful two-point conversion attempt to give managers a minor boost to his final fantasy score. Doubs should continue starting alongside Watson when Green Bay hosts Carolina next Sunday.

Metcalf finished with five receptions on seven targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-25 loss to the Packers.

Metcalf found his way back into the end zone after watching his scoring streak of four games come to an end in Week 7. The five receptions tied the athletic wideout's previous high through seven games with his new club, signaling a dip in volume following his transition from Seattle to Pittsburgh this past offseason. The Steelers' No. 1 receiver currently sits at 27 receptions on 43 targets through seven starts, a pace well off the 66 receptions he recorded in each of his last two seasons as a member of the Seahawks. Metcalf has offset the decreased usage with improved red-zone prowess, matching the five touchdowns he recorded in 2024 in less than half of the games played. The total package is good enough to warrant starting consideration in the majority of fantasy formats heading into next Sunday's tilt against Indianapolis.

Jacobs (calf) took 13 carries for 33 yards and a touchdown while corralling all three of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 35-25 win over the Steelers.

Jacobs was headed towards his worst fantasy performance of the season before punching in a touchdown late in the fourth quarter on Sunday Night Football. Green Bay's workhorse was held to 2.5 yards per carry, opening the door for backup Emanuel Wilson to lead the team with 61 rushing yards on 11 attempts. Jacobs was dealing with a calf injury during the practice week, which could help explain his poor efficiency in Sunday's victory. The late score extended Jacobs' touchdown streak to four games, rewarding fantasy managers with seven trips to the end zone over that span. Assuming he escaped this contest unscathed, Jacobs should be treated as an elite asset in a soft matchup against the Panthers next Sunday.

Warren took 13 carries for 62 yards while catching two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 35-25 loss to Green Bay.

Warren cooled off following last week's 127-yard rushing performance, reverting to the modest production he's logged most weeks as the Steelers' starter this season. The 26-year-old actually finished Sunday's primetime tilt right at the 62.2 yards he averaged over his previous five contests. Backup Kenneth Gainwell finished with 31 yards on five carries, but he coughed up Pittsburgh's only fumble on the evening. Warren carries a high floor as the Steelers' lead back heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Colts.

Watson (knee) secured all four of his targets for 85 yards in Sunday's 35-25 win over the Steelers.

Watson made a successful return from a torn ACL suffered in the final game of the 2024 regular season, finishing second behind TE Tucker Kraft (7-143-2) in receiving for the Packers on Sunday Night Football. The 25-year-old Watson exhibited his usual big-play ability in his first taste of action this season, showing no ill effects from the severe knee injury he suffered in January. Watson immediately reinserted himself as one of QB Jordan Love's top targets, making him an appealing fantasy option against the Panthers next Sunday.

McManus went 2-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs in Sunday night's 35-25 win over the Steelers.

McManus made his return to action after missing two games with a right quadriceps injury. The kicker appeared to be a little rusty in the first half, leaving a 57-yard field-goal attempt short before missing a 44-yarder wide left as time expired in the second quarter. McManus was able to rebound after the break, connecting on field goals from 28 and 25 yards in the fourth quarter. On the year, he's now gone 9-for-13 on field-goal tries, including 2-for-3 from 50-plus yards, while also making 14 of 15 extra-point attempts over five contests.

Rodgers completed 24 of 36 pass attempts for 219 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-25 loss to Green Bay.

Rodgers failed to lift Pittsburgh to its fifth win after coming up short against his former club on the national stage. The 41-year-old still produced a solid fantasy score after throwing multiple touchdowns for the fifth time in seven starts with the Steelers. With 16 touchdown passes on the year, Rodgers is on pace to finish with 30-plus touchdowns for the first time since 2022, his final season as a member of the Packers. The future Hall of Famer will have to overcome a tough matchup against the Colts next Sunday in order to get Pittsburgh back in the win column following consecutive losses.

Boswell went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made his only PAT in Sunday night's 35-25 loss to the Packers.

Boswell was called upon early and often in the first half, making field goals from 56, 50 and 48 yards before the break. He later added another 56-yarder in the third quarter, notching his first performance with at least four field-goal makes since Week 11 of the 2024 campaign. The kicker has continued to be one of the most reliable in the league, going 14-for-16 on field-goal tries, including 6-for-7 from 50-plus yards, over seven games this season.

Kraft hauled in seven of nine targets for 143 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 35-25 win over the Steelers.

Kraft scored the Packers' first and final touchdowns in a thrilling comeback victory, fittingly resulting in a career night on National Tight Ends Day. The 24-year-old was already riding a hot streak after scoring in each of his previous two outings, and he managed to surpass the combined production from those two starts with Sunday's statistical explosion. Kraft bumped his season line up to 29-469-6 through seven games, making him a premier fantasy option for next Sunday's tilt against Carolina.

Legette brought in two of three targets for 17 yards in the Panthers' 40-9 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

One week after posting a career-best 9-92-1 line against the Jets, Legette saw a significant downturn in the lopsided loss. The second-year wideout's Week 7 breakout is more or less an outlier, considering Legette has topped out at three receptions and 31 receiving yards otherwise in terms of single-game highs. Legette will take a middling 19-159-2 line on 34 targets over six games into a Week 9 road trip to Green Bay.
