Williams played four snaps in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.

The third-round rookie is still filling only a bit role for Green Bay, and he has gotten only 11 total snaps on offense since the team's Week 5 bye. He could see a few more opportunities if Dontayvion Wicks (calf) misses any action, but he also figures to drop below Christian Watson (knee) on the depth chart when the latter returns in the next week or two.

Wright did not log a carry or target during Miami's 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Wright was active versus Cleveland after having been a healthy scratch the prior two games, but he played just nine offensive snaps and was statistically invisible while Ollie Gordon (five carries for 22 yards) operated as the No. 2 back behind starter De'Von Achane (13 carries for 82 yards). Next on deck for the Dolphins is a Week 8 road matchup against the Falcons, wherein Wright will work to compete for more opportunities alongside Gordon.

Heath was not targeted in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.

Heath -- due in part to a calf injury sustained by fellow wideout Dontayvion Wicks -- finished third among Packers receivers in snaps in Week 7, but he finished without a target for the fourth time in six appearances this season. Heath could benefit if Wicks misses any further action, but another pass catcher -- Christian Watson (knee) -- is due back soon, so any sort of long-term boost looks unlikely.

Gordon carried the ball five times for 11 yards during Miami's 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Gordon continues to operate as the Dolphins' clear No. 2 back behind De'Von Achane, a role in which he's logged 28 carries for 70 rushing yards (2.5 YPC) and one touchdown across seven regular-season appearances this year. He's also secured four of six targets for seven yards during that span. The rookie sixth-round pick projects to continue operating ahead of Jaylen Wright, who was active Week 7 but didn't log a carry, versus the Falcons in Week 8.

Parsons recorded five tackles (four solo) and a career-high 3.0 sacks in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.

Parsons had registered 2.0 or 2.5 sacks on several occasions, but he had never before taken down the quarterback three times himself until his sixth game with the Packers. Thanks to the surge Parsons is up to 5.5 sacks, which ties him for sixth in the league with two games to go in Week 7.

Brooks was targeted once but did not record a touch in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.

Fellow reserve running back Emanuel Wilson saw some extra snaps with top ball carrier Josh Jacobs spending less time on the field than usual due to an illness and calf injury, but there was no visible change to the workload for Brooks. The pecking order is pretty clearly defined in Green Bay's backfield, and Wilson -- who has played 68 snaps to 25 for Brooks over the last four games -- would be the primary beneficiary should Jacobs sustain any sort of setback.

Wilson had six carries for 17 yards and one reception for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.

A trendy late pickup with starting running back Josh Jacobs uncertain for Week 7 due to an illness and calf injury, Wilson played a season-high 34 percent of the snaps as Green Bay's starter saw a lighter load than usual. However, Jacobs still got the bulk of the touches and scored both of the Packers' rushing touchdowns on the day. Wilson remains merely an insurance policy in case Jacobs sustains any sort of setback.

Delpit had four tackles, including 1.0 sack and an additional quarterback hit and forced a fumble in Sunday's 31-6 win over the Dolphins in Week 7.

Delpit forced a fumble that the Browns recovered on special teams one play after Cleveland took a 10-3 lead in the second quarter. The turnover led to a second touchdown in a five-minute span. Delpit has 37 tackles, 1.0 sacks, three total passes defensed, including one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through seven games.

Garrett had 1.0 sacks, an additional tackle for loss and an additional quarterback hit in Sunday's 31-6 win over Miami in Week 7.

Garrett halted a three-game stretch without a sack when he hauled down Tua Tagovailoa in the third quarter. The takedown raises Garrett's sack total to 5.0 through seven contests.

Stevenson carried the ball 18 times for 88 yards and a TD in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans, while catching both of his passing targets in the contest for zero yards.

Stevenson's carry and rushing yard totals were both season highs, and for the second straight game the running back (who had recorded three lost fumbles over the first five weeks of the season) didn't put the ball on the carpet. As long as he continues to demonstrate improved ball security, Stevenson should provide fantasy utility while leading a New England backfield that also includes rookie TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings, who both were on the field for just nine snaps versus Tennessee while Stevenson logged 49 of 65 snaps on offense Sunday, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. Next up for the 5-2 Patriots is a Week 8 home game against the 2-5 Browns, who have limited opponents to an average of 82.4 rushing yards per game to date.
