Dalton completed four of seven pass attempts for 60 yards and rushed twice for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.

The veteran quarterback entered the Panthers' Week 7 win early in the fourth quarter after Bryce Young (ankle) went down with an injury. Dalton performed well in relief, completing four of seven pass attempts for 60 yards, highlighted by a 33-yard strike to Xavier Legette that helped seal Sunday's victory. Young's practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication of his potential availability for the Week 8 matchup against the Bills. If he's forced to miss time, Dalton will likely take over as the Panthers' top signal caller.

Zaccheaus caught two passes on three targets for nine yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also rushed once for zero yards.

Zaccheaus was held to fewer than 24 yards for the first time in four games. With the Bears winning by double digits, the team didn't need to lean on the passing attack. The receiver remains a limited-ceiling PPR depth option.

Ferguson corralled all seven of his targets for 29 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.

Ferguson continued his red zone prowess Sunday, extending his scoring streak to four games while recording his sixth touchdown over that span. The 26-year-old is on pace for a career year with 51 receptions, 334 yards and a career-high six touchdowns in just seven games played this season. Fantasy managers should probably continue playing with house money and start Ferguson without question against the Broncos next Sunday.

Burden caught one pass for 22 yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Burden had 51 yards last week and 101 yards in Week 3, so he's becoming more of a factor in the Bears offense. Still, his inconsistency makes him a player to selectively use in fantasy lineups until his weekly targets increase.

Folk made both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers.

The kicker connected from 34 yards in the second quarter and from 47 in the fourth. Folk is 14-of-14 on field goals and 7-of-7 on extra points in 2025, but the Jets' struggling offense limits his opportunities.

Loveland caught three of four targets for 24 yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Loveland has eight receptions over five contests overall, but with fellow TE Cole Kmet having exited Sunday's contest with a back injury, the rookie first-rounder could see an uptick in snaps against the Ravens this weekend if Kmet is forced to miss time. In such a scenario, Loveland could merit Week 8 lineup consideration with six teams on bye.

Johnson rushed once for 11 yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Johnson has two rushing attempts while seeing offensive snaps in just two games this season. His lack of involvement leaves him with minimal fantasy value.

Monangai rushed 13 times for 81 yards and one touchdown and caught two passes for 13 yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Monangai recorded his first game with more than seven rushes and 28 yards. Some of his increased work came because the Bears won by double digits. It's unlikely this level of workload continues unless D'Andre Swift misses time.

Dobbins took 14 carries for 81 yards while losing one yard on his only reception in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.

Dobbins responded well from his worst outing of the season against the Jets last week (14-40-0), averaging 5.8 yards a carry while leading his team in rushing against the Giants. The veteran starter was held out of the end zone in consecutive games for the first time this season, which is the only negative takeaway from Sunday's win. Backup RJ Harvey poached a receiving touchdown on his only reception, but he generated zero rushing yards on four attempts as the Broncos backfield continues to belong to Dobbins. The Ohio State product checks in as a safe starting option in fantasy for Week 8 in a soft matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday.

Horn caught one of two targets for eight yards and rushed once for seven yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.

Horn's role on the Panthers' offense shrank with the return of Jalen Coker in the Week 7 win. The 2025 sixth-round pick from Colorado has now recorded five catches for 65 yards and four carries for 28 yards over his first three games as a pro. While Horn could be more involved in Carolina's offense as the season progresses, he's likely to play another reserve role in the Week 8 matchup against the Bills.
