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).

Douglas caught four of six targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Patriots.

In his second game back from a multi-week high-ankle sprain, Douglas led the team with 31 routes on Malik Willis' 36 dropbacks against New England. The rookie wideout's six targets tied Greg Dulcich and Malik Washington for the team lead on a day Willis targeted nine different pass catchers. Through four games this season, Douglas has 13 grabs for 226 yards and two touchdowns on 19 targets. He's a low-volume big-play threat on the outside for Miami, but Douglas will be in the mix as a streamer for next Sunday's date with a leaky Lions secondary.

Stevenson carried the ball 19 times for 82 yards and caught all three of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Dolphins.

With TreVeyon Henderson (illness) unavailable, Stevenson led the Patriots in rushing yards and scrimmage yards, although he wasn't able to get into the end zone. His 19 totes and 82 rushing yards were both season highs. The veteran back's workload in Week 9 against the Packers will depend somewhat on Henderson's health, but Stevenson appears to be Mike Vrabel's most trusted option in the backfield, and through eight games he's on pace to top 1,000 scrimmage yards for the first time since 2022.

Washington caught three of five targets for 94 yards during Sunday's 27-6 win over the Browns.

Washington led the team in receiving yards while finishing tied for second on the team in targets with wide receiver Germie Bernard. The tight end's biggest moment of the game came in the third quarter when he reeled in a short pass from Aaron Rodgers and took off for a 58-yard gain. Washington has now reeled in 19 of 28 targets for 254 yards and three touchdowns over eight contests to open the 2026 regular season.

McNichols headed back to the locker room in the second half of Sunday's game against the Eagles and was walking with a limp, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

McNichols was checked for an injury in the blue tent before heading to the locker room. While the exact nature of his injury has yet to be clarified, the running back can be considered questionable to return after rushing five times for 21 yards and catching his lone target for seven yards prior to exiting. Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler are the two remaining healthy options in Washington's backfield rotation.

Dulcich caught four of six targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Patriots.

Dulcich has yet to score a touchdown this season, but the tight end is settling in as one of Malik Willis' favorite targets. He has at least four catches in four of his last five games but has reached 50 receiving yards in just two of seven contests. Dulcich is in the large bucket of low-floor, low-ceiling TE2 options in fantasy, but he does get a plus Week 9 draw against the Lions.

Hampton rushed nine times for 20 yards and brought in two of three targets for seven yards in the Chargers' 24-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Hampton logged just one more carry than Kimani Vidal and five more than Keaton Mitchell, as the Chargers' ground game continued to resemble a committee scenario. Hampton now has 45 rushing yards or fewer in four straight games, and he's logged single-digit carries in three of those contests. The second-year back is averaging just 3.5 yards per carry behind an injury-hampered offensive line as well, leaving his outlook bleak for a Week 9 home matchup against an aggressive Texans defense next Sunday.

Maye completed 16 of 20 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Dolphins. He added five rushing yards and a TD on eight carries.

While he failed to reach 200 passing yards for the third time in eight games this season, Maye put together a very efficient performance as he produced multiple TDs for a fifth straight game. All three scores came in the second half as the QB rallied the Patriots from a 13-3 deficit, hitting Kyle Williams for a 43-yard score in the third quarter and DeMario Douglas for a 48-yard strike in the fourth, while running for a two-yard TD in between. Maye appears to have gotten his recklessness under control, committing just one turnover in the last four contests, and he'll take a 15:8 TD:INT on the season into a Week 9 clash with the Packers.
