Olave corralled eight of 12 targets for 63 yards while losing three yards on his only rush attempt in Sunday's 23-3 loss to Tampa Bay.

Olave was unable to replicate last week's multi-score performance, but he still escaped Sunday's one-sided loss with a solid PPR score. The Saints' top wideout finished with double-digit targets for the sixth time in eight appearances this season. Olave has surpassed last year's production in an injury-shortened season with a 52-503-3 receiving line through eight starts in 2025. The Ohio State product checks in as New Orleans' safest fantasy option heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Rams.

Edmunds posted seven tackles, including 1.0 sacks and two tackles for loss, in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Edmunds has logged at least seven stops in every game and has sacks in consecutive weeks. His blend of tackle floor/ceiling and splash plays puts him in the elite IDP tier.

Edwards recorded six tackles in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Edwards has posted six or more stops in his last three games. His stability makes him a dependable weekly IDP starter with limited upside.

Byard registered six tackles in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Byard has at least six tackles in four of the last five games to go with four interceptions on the season. The safety remains a high-end IDP.

Ekuale (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's contest against Green Bay.

Ekuale suffered a knee injury in the first quarter, and he will now be forced to sit out the rest of the game. In his absence, Yahya Black and Esezi Otomewo stand to operate in more significant roles on the defensive line versus the Packers.

Sweat posted seven tackles, including 1.0 sacks and one tackle for loss, in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Sweat registered a sack for the second straight week, and he now has 3.0 sacks on the season. However, his seven tackles is the first time Sweat has had more than four in any game. He remains a sack-dependent IDP with a moderate sack floor.

Ekuale is doubtful to return to Sunday night's matchup with the Packers due to a knee injury, Burt Lauten of the Steelers' official site reports.

The defensive tackle did not record a stat before exiting the contest. Ekuale did not play more than 20 defensive snaps in any of the Steelers' first six games before Sunday night. Yahya Black and Esezi Otomewo are the extra defensive linemen available for Pittsburgh against Green Bay.

Shough completed 17 of 30 pass attempts for 128 yards and an interception while gaining 12 yards on three carries in Sunday's 23-3 loss to Tampa Bay.

Starter Spencer Rattler was mercifully benched late in the third quarter after committing a pair of turnovers a week after turning the ball over four times in a loss to the Bears. Shough didn't fare much better against the Buccaneers, producing an eerily similar stat to Rattler's in an abysmal performance by the Saints offense as a whole. With the Saints now sitting at 1-7 and Rattler having turned in turnover-filled outings in consecutive starts, head coach Kellen Moore may be ready to turn the keys of the offense over to Shough in a Week 9 matchup against the Rams.

Dexter tallied seven tackles, including 1.0 sacks and two tackles for loss, in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Dexter has 3.5 sacks on the season, but 2.5 of those have come in the last three games. His low-tackle production keeps him a sack-dependent IDP with moderate upside at defensive tackle.

Odeyingbo registered eight tackles, including one tackle for loss, in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Odeyingbo had 12 tackles in six games before breaking out against the Ravens. This looks like an anomaly performance, and the defensive end remains a low-floor IDP.
