Higgins brought in four of eight targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 26-15 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

Higgins logged a team-high target total in the absences of Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), and he recorded his second career touchdown on a 12-yard grab midway through the second quarter. Higgins' catch tally also tied a career high, while both his yardage and targets qualified as new high-water marks. The rookie second-round pick could continue operating in an expanded role during a Week 9 home matchup against the Broncos.

Love completed 29 of 37 pass attempts for 360 yards and three touchdowns while losing one yard on a kneel-down in Sunday's 35-25 win over the Steelers.

Love was nearly flawless in Sunday's primetime victory. finishing with a season-high 78.3 percent completion rate. It was the 26-year-old's second time eclipsing 300 passing yards while throwing for three touchdowns this season. Interestingly, both occurrences have come on Sunday Night Football broadcasts, with Love throwing for 337 yards and three scores in a memorable 40-40 tie against Dallas in Week 4. It was fitting that Sunday's standout performance came against Packers legend Aaron Rodgers, as Love is doing his best prime Rodgers impersonation with 13 touchdowns to just two interceptions through seven starts in 2025. Love checks in as an elite fantasy option heading into a soft matchup against the Panthers in Week 9.

Schultz brought in two of three targets for 24 yards in the Texans' 26-15 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

The veteran tight end was coming off a season-best 9-98-0 receiving line on 10 targets versus the Seahawks on Monday night, but even with top two receivers Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) both sidelined, he was unable to build upon that production. Schultz downturn was surprising in that context, as he finished with season lows in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Schultz will look to bounce back in Week 9 against a tough Broncos defense, and he could once again play without at least one of his two injured wide receiver teammates.

Mooney brought in one of four targets for 11 yards in the Falcons' 34-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Drake London (hip) was a surprise inactive after being placed on the injury report Saturday, but Mooney and fill-in signal-caller Kirk Cousins were unable to connect until the latter portion of the contest. The disappointing showing featured a season-low receiving yardage total for Mooney, who now has two one-catch tallies in his last three appearances heading into a Week 9 road matchup against a tough Patriots defense.

Niemann suffered a pectoral injury in the team's 35-25 win over the Steelers on Sunday night.

Niemann exited the game in the second half, and he ultimately did not return to the contest. The linebacker did not record any stats prior to his premature departure.

Kincaid (oblique) brought in one of three targets for 23 yards in the Bills' 40-9 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Making his return from a one-game absence that predated the Week 7 bye, Kincaid made a splash on his one catch but otherwise was quiet. The third-year tight end had posted a 108-yard performance against the Patriots in Week 5 before sitting out Week 6, but he's now recorded 48 receiving yards or less in four of his other five games heading into a Week 9 clash with the Chiefs at home next Sunday afternoon.

Coleman secured three of four targets for 30 yards in the Bills' 40-9 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Coleman finished a distant second to Khalil Shakir in receptions, receiving yards and targets, turning in his sixth straight sub-50-yard effort following his 112-yard tally against the Ravens in Week 1. The second-year wideout is averaging just 9.9 yards per reception and has taken just three of his 27 catches for 20-plus yards, a sharp contrast to the outstanding 19.2 yards per grab he averaged as a rookie in the 2024 regular season. Coleman will aim to make a bigger impact in a Week 9 home showdown against the Chiefs next Sunday afternoon.

Shaheed hauled in nine of 12 targets for 75 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 23-3 loss to the Buccaneers.

Shaheed's 12 targets and nine receptions crushed his previous highs of nine and six respectively, but he failed to sniff the 114 yards he posted in Week 5. The fourth-year starter has provided a nice floor for those in deeper formats, recording at least four receptions in each of his eight appearances in 2025. Shaheed's overall line of 39-431-2 looks solid on paper, but over half of his production (including both of his touchdowns) have come in three games. Expect Shaheed to continue serving as one of either Spencer Rattler's or Tyler Shough's top targets against the Rams next Sunday.

Bourne brought in three of four targets for 44 yards in the 49ers' 26-15 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Bourne was second in receiving yards on the 49ers despite his modest total, and he contributed a pair of first downs on his trio of grabs. Bourne continues to work as the No. 2 receiver due to the absence of Ricky Pearsall (knee), but after back-to-back 142-yard tallies versus the Rams and Buccaneers in Weeks 5 and 6, the Eastern Washington product has generated a modest 5-58-0 line on six targets over the subsequent pair of contests. Bourne will continue working in a starting role if Pearsall is unable to return for next Sunday's Week 9 matchup on the road against the Giants.

Jennings brought in four of seven targets for 45 yards in the 49ers' 26-15 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Jennings finished as the team leader in receiving yards and targets while tying for the top mark in receptions as well, but his line could have been much fuller had the veteran wideout not dropped a catchable ball from Mac Jones midway through the third quarter. Jennings has consecutive four-catch tallies, but he's mostly been unable to capitalize on the ongoing absences of Brandon Aiyuk (PUP, knee) and Ricky Pearsall (knee). Jennings, who's dealt with multiple injuries in his own right and missed two games this season, will take an 18-212-1 receiving line on 36 targets into a Week 9 road matchup against the Giants.
