Shakir caught five of six targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Ravens.

Shakir initially appeared to get in the end zone for a six-yard touchdown early in the first quarter, but he was ruled out at the one-yard line after review. Josh Allen then punched in the one-yard touchdown two plays later. On the day, Shakir paced the Bills with his five grabs and tied for second on the team in targets, one behind DJ Moore. Shakir has yet to hit 100 yards in a game this season and has just one touchdown, settling in as a low-ceiling WR4 in fantasy, especially when both Moore and Dalton Kincaid are healthy.

Gesicki caught four of six targets for 76 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 43-36 overtime win against the Titans.

Gesicki was able to reach the end zone for the fifth straight game, connecting with Joe Burrow for a 25-yard score in the fourth quarter. The tight end's four catches and 76 receiving yards were both his highest totals since Week 1 versus Tampa Bay. Gesicki has now caught 17 of 24 targets for 241 yards and six scores over seven contests to open the regular season.

Corum rushed 11 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target in the Rams' 24-9 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Corum led the Rams in rushing yards despite logging five fewer carries than Kyren Williams, and like the latter, Corum was able to get into the end zone. Corum's score came early in the third quarter on a winding 23-yard run, his second in as many games. The third-year back now has double-digit carries in consecutive games for the second time this season, and he's averaging a career-best 5.2 yards per carry heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Commanders next Sunday.

Nix completed 20 of 32 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-24 win over Kansas City. He added four rushing yards on three carries and threw a two-point conversion to Jaylen Waddle.

The Broncos were staring at a 24-13 deficit heading into the fourth quarter, but late comebacks are nothing new for Nix. The QB hit Nate Adkins for a two-yard score with about nine minutes left before connecting with Jonah Coleman on a 51-yard catch and run to set up the game-winning TD plunge by the rookie RB just after the two-minute warning. It's the 15th time that Nix has led Denver on a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime, the most by any quarterback in the first three seasons of his career since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. While he's thrown multiple TDs just twice in the first eight games of the season, Nix has gone five straight contests without tossing an INT. He'll take a 9:3 TD:INT into a Week 9 road tilt against the Panthers.

Dowdle rushed 15 times for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers' 27-6 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Dowdle finished just two carries behind Jaylen Warren on the afternoon, and although his backfield mate significantly outpaced him in yardage, the former made his fantasy mark when he opened the scoring on the day with a nine-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Dowdle recorded new season highs in rush attempts and rushing yards as the Steelers had the luxury of leaning heavily on the ground attack, but Warren remains the backfield's clear No. 1 option heading into the Week 9 bye.

Concepcion caught three of four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 27-6 loss to the Steelers.

After a breakout game last Sunday against the Titans, which saw Concepcion record eight grabs for 129 yards on 10 targets, the rookie wideout came crashing back down against a divisional foe. Concepcion's four targets were a distant fourth on the team behind Harold Fannin (12), Denzel Boston (11) and Dylan Sampson (eight), and his four looks were good for just a 10.3 percent target share. Concepcion will try to rebound next Sunday against the Saints, but he's shown little upside, with zero touchdowns and just two games with more than 50 receiving yards.

Downs caught four of five targets for 23 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 42-7 loss to the Jaguars.

Downs was able to reel in four or more passes for the fourth time this season and second time in the last three weeks. Downs was on the receiving end of the team's only score on the day, reeling in a six-yard touchdown pass from Daniel Jones in the third quarter for the wideout's first score of the year. Downs has now caught 30 of 51 targets for 330 yards and a touchdown over eight contests to open the 2026 campaign, and after he requested a trade this week, he may be wearing a new uniform the next time he appears in a game.

Metcalf brought in one of six targets for four yards in the Steelers' 27-6 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Aaron Rodgers put up a season low in completions, pass attempts, passing yards and completion percentage Sunday, and Metcalf's production was part of the collateral damage. The veteran wideout did see a team high in targets, but the fact he did next to nothing with them led to season lows in catches and receiving yards. Metcalf has had a handful of splash plays over the first half of the season and has two games of more than 90 receiving yards, but he's averaging a career-low 11.5 yards per reception and has just a single touchdown reception heading into the Week 9 bye.

Andrews caught three of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Bills.

Though Lamar Jackson (ankle) made his awaited return to the lineup, his stay lasted just one offensive snap Sunday before suffering a serious thumb injury. Tyler Huntley then exited the game with a toe injury in the second quarter, forcing undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano into emergency QB duties. No Ravens player produced even 25 receiving yards against Buffalo. Andrews has been in an extended slump and won't be a trustworthy fantasy tight end for Thursday night against the Jaguars.

Boston caught six of 11 targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 27-6 loss to the Steelers.

Boston entered Week 8 having caught just four of 13 targets for 42 yards over the previous two games, so Sunday's output was a step in the right direction. The wide receiver's 11 targets were a new career high, and he ranked second behind tight end Harold Fannin (12) in the category versus Pittsburgh. Boston has now reeled in 26 of 53 targets for 409 yards and three touchdowns over the first eight games of the 2026 campaign.
