Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught nine of his 11 targets for 183 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The highlight of his performance was a 79-yard touchdown catch that extended Philadelphia's lead to two possessions in the third quarter. Smith led the team in receiving yards and combined with A.J. Brown for the entirety of the Eagles' offensive scoring. The 26-year-old hasn't been very consistent week over week, but games like these remind managers of his extreme upside. He should continue to be viewed as a solid WR2 heading into Week 8 against the New York Giants.

New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore acknowledged that "there's concern" surrounding running back Kendre Miller (knee), who left during the first quarter of Sunday's Week 7 loss. Moore did not elaborate on the injury, but it sounds like the backup running back could be at risk of missing extended time. Miller had previously carved out a decent workload in his backup role behind Alvin Kamara, so his absence will presumably clear the way for Kamara to reclaim the workhorse role in New Orleans. Devin Neal, who had one carry for one yard on Sunday, could also see a slight uptick in snaps if Miller misses any games. Fantasy managers invested in his status should monitor the Saints' injury reports ahead of Week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) is undergoing tests to evaluate the severity of his ankle injury, according to head coach Dave Canales. Young exited during the second half of Sunday's Week 7 win over the New York Jets and was unable to return. Andy Dalton took over in his absence, and while he did close out the victory, he was unable to lead a scoring drive. The Panthers were relatively fortunate that Young's injury came in a softer matchup against the Jets, who were never able to mount a true comeback threat. Their schedule gets much tougher in Week 8, though, as they take on the Buffalo Bills. Having Young available will be key for the Panthers as they look to pull off the upset at home. Fans and fantasy managers should keep an eye on the Panthers' injury reports over the next week.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity all week long. Wicks has mostly filled a depth role behind Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs this season, catching just 12 passes for 129 yards and zero touchdowns. He's off the fantasy radar despite a favorable matchup against Arizona.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable but was widely expected to miss his second game in a row. Murray's loss will be felt, as he had amassed a respectable 962 passing yards, 173 rushing yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions through the first five weeks of the season. On Sunday, Jacoby Brissett will start in his place. Brissett impressed with 320 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception last Sunday against the Colts. He'll look to build on that momentum during a difficult matchup against the Packers.

New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner (head) was taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion during the second half of Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Carolina Panthers. He finished the game with four tackles and one pass defended. While Gardner is still being evaluated and has not officially been diagnosed with a concussion, he is certainly at risk of missing next week's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. That would be a major loss for the Jets, who are now 0-7 and would have a tough time slowing down Ja'Marr Chase even if Gardner were healthy.

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus (quadricep) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing all three practices this past week. Lucas Havrisik will operate as the Packers' kicker for the second week in a row. Last Sunday, he had a productive outing with two field goals and three extra points. He could enjoy similar success this week against a struggling Cardinals team.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (back) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New Orleans Saints. He is officially listed as doubtful to return. At the time of his departure, he had just one catch for 16 yards. While the team hasn't officially ruled out a Kmet return, it appears unlikely that he'll get back into the game. As a result, rookie Colston Loveland will take over as the Bears' primary tight end. Loveland could be a solid TE2 going forward, especially if Kmet misses time. Fantasy managers invested in either Bears tight end should monitor the team's practice reports leading up to Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New York Jets. He was taken to the locker room and was initially listed as questionable to return before being downgraded to out. He finishes Sunday's game having completed 15 of 25 passes for 138 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He also rushed for 10 yards and took a sack. Young was replaced by Andy Dalton, who will be tasked with preserving Carolina's multi-possession lead over the Jets. Fantasy managers invested in Young's status should monitor the Panthers' practice reports leading up to Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was benched during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Cleveland Browns. He was in the midst of an all-time poor outing, having completed 12 of 23 passes for 100 yards, zero touchdowns, and three interceptions, including a pick-six. He also took two sacks and rushed for six yards. Tagovailoa was replaced by Quinn Ewers, who is active for the first time this season. Miami made the decision ahead of Week 7 to name Ewers the backup quarterback over Zach Wilson. The Texas product will be tasked with limiting the damage in the final minutes of the blowout loss to Cleveland. All eyes will be on Miami with Mike McDaniel's seat hotter than ever, and a potential quarterback change on the radar ahead of Week 8.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New York Jets. He was taken to the locker room and is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had completed 15 of 25 passes for 138 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He also rushed for 10 yards and took a sack. Young was replaced by Andy Dalton, who will be tasked with preserving Carolina's multi-possession lead over the Jets.

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (knee) exited during the first quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Chicago Bears. He was initially listed as questionable, but was eventually downgraded to out. He finishes the game with just one rush for seven yards. Miller had previously vultured several touches from Alvin Kamara, so his absence will clear the way for Kamara to reclaim the workhorse role in New Orleans. Fantasy managers invested in Miller's status should monitor the Saints' injury reports ahead of Week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Cleveland Browns. He exited in the second quarter and had not registered a statistic at the time of his departure. The veteran tight end had found success in recent weeks, though, catching 10 passes for 117 yards and four touchdowns over his last four games. Julian Hill and Tanner Conner will take over as Miami's primary tight ends until Waller is healthy enough to play again.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields was benched at halftime during Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Carolina Panthers. At the time of his benching, he had completed just six of 12 pass attempts for 46 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero turnovers. He also rushed for 22 yards and took three sacks. He was replaced by Tyrod Taylor, who led the Jets' offense on the opening drive of the second half. Fields' benching runs counter to comments made by head coach Aaron Glenn last week, when he criticized a reporter for asking about a potential quarterback change. Just seven days later, Glenn appears to have a new perspective on the situation. Taylor will be tasked with leading the 0-6 Jets back from a 10-3 deficit coming out of the locker room.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf, illness) will suit up for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Ian Rapoport. Jacobs was a game-time decision coming into this one due to multiple issues. Despite that, Jacobs is feeling good enough to play, which is great news for fantasy managers. Jacobs is coming off a two-touchdown game last week and should be plugged in as a RB1. Emanuel Wilson should resume his duties as the backup, so there won't be much streaming appeal for him with Jacobs active now.

From RotoBaller

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) is currently considered questionable to return to Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Cleveland Browns. Waller appears to have suffered a pectoral injury and wasn't on the field for the final drive before halftime. Waller hasn't done anything on the field as he wasn't targeted in the game before exiting. If he remains out, Tanner Conner and Julian Hill should see expanded roles in the second half.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. Simmons suffered a hamstring injury while tackling Rhamondre Stevenson in the first half of this contest. As a result, Simmons headed to the sideline and now will remain on the bench. He'll finish his day with one solo tackle and one assisted tackle. His next chance to play will come against the Indianapolis Colts next week. In his absence, T'Vondre Sweat and James Lynch should see expanded roles for the rest of this game.

From RotoBaller

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee) is considered doubtful to return to Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Crosby suffered a knee injury that forced him out of action in the first half. Before exiting, Crosby recorded one solo tackle and two assisted tackles. The Raiders are already being blown out, so they might play it safe with their superstar pass rusher in the second half. It's also worth noting that the Raiders have a bye next week, so they could give him extra time to rest. If Crosby remains out, Tyree Wilson figures to see an expanded role in the second half.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. was unable to find much success during Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Thomas was coming off a solid game in Week 6, but wasn't able to carry that momentum with him to London. He hauled in three of his seven targets for 31 yards in the blowout loss. Thomas finished third on the team in targets and really wasn't a factor in the passing game despite the Jags getting blown out. The Jags have a bye next week, so Thomas will look to bounce back against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf, illness) was seen testing out his calf on the field ahead of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Jacobs is viewed as a legitimate game-time decision for this contest. The plan is for the doctors to evaluate Jacobs after warmups to determine if he'll play in this game. If he sits, Emanuel Wilson would likely be in line to start this game. He would be worth a look as a streaming option if Jacobs is unable to play. Fantasy managers will likely have to wait until closer to the 4:25 ET kickoff before knowing more about Jacobs.
