Player Notes
Quinn Ewers Oct 19 3:50pm ET
Quinn Ewers

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.

Bryce Young

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.

Kendre Miller

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.

Darren Waller Oct 19 3:30pm ET
Darren Waller

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.

Justin Fields Oct 19 3:20pm ET
Justin Fields

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.

Josh Jacobs Oct 19 3:10pm ET
Josh Jacobs

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.

Darren Waller Oct 19 3:00pm ET
Darren Waller

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.

Jeffery Simmons Oct 19 3:00pm ET
Jeffery Simmons

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.

Maxx Crosby

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.

Brian Thomas Jr. Oct 19 2:40pm ET
Brian Thomas Jr.

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.

Josh Jacobs

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.

Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (hamstring) is currently considered questionable to return to Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. Simmons suffered a hamstring injury while tackling Rhamondre Stevenson in the first quarter. It's unclear if he'll be able to return as hamstring issues can sometimes be tricky. Before exiting, Simmons recorded one solo tackle and one assisted tackle. If he doesn't return, T'Vondre Sweat and James Lynch would be asked to step up defensively.

Trey Benson Oct 19 2:10pm ET
Trey Benson

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) remains on injured reserve for at least another two weeks as the Cards attempt to make do with a committee ahead of Week 7 against Green Bay. The Florida State product was a surprising addition to injured reserve after playing more than half of the Cards' Week 4 game against Seattle, though the team expects him to return this season. The team activated running back D'Ernest Johnson this week and has previously featured a rotation that has included Michael Carter, Emari Demercado, and Bam Knight. From a fantasy perspective, it's been tough to rely upon any of them with the team cycling through so many players.

Kendre Miller

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (knee) is currently considered questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Miller suffered a knee injury that forced him to the sideline in the first half. Before exiting, Miller carried the ball one time for seven yards. If he's unable to return, Devin Neal figures to see an expanded role as the backup to Alvin Kamara. Neither back offers much value while Kamara is healthy.

Trevor Lawrence Oct 19 1:50pm ET
Trevor Lawrence

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had a long day when his team took on the Los Angeles Rams, completing just 23 of 48 passing attempts for 296 yards and one touchdown. He also ran twice for 18 yards. While Lawrence finished with more than 300 total yards, it was an ugly day for the Jags' offense in general and the quarterback specifically. Jacksonville was behind 21-0 at halftime and never really in the game. By the end of the day, Lawrence had been sacked seven times and missed on a few eyebrow-raising throws. The Jags will take a much-needed break next week before returning to the field in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Travis Hunter Oct 19 1:40pm ET
Travis Hunter

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter found the end zone for the first time as a pro, connecting with quarterback Trevor Lawrence for a 34-yard touchdown on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams in London. In total, the rookie finished with his best offensive day in the NFL, compiling eight catches for 101 yards and a score on 14 targets. He also had one carry for no gain. Unfortunately for the Jags, they attempted 48 passes because they were getting blown out in what became a 35-7 defeat. It was nonetheless an encouraging day for fantasy managers, as Hunter led the offense in touches and earned the type of usage for which they were hoping. The Jags will look to get their act together against Las Vegas after a bye in Week 9.

Davante Adams Oct 19 1:30pm ET
Davante Adams

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams had an excellent fantasy day on Sunday by catching five of his eight targets for 35 yards and three touchdowns in a 35-7 rout of Jacksonville. The veteran didn't do much from a yardage perspective, but created maximum value from his red-zone targets. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford found Adams for touchdowns of two, one, and one yard as L.A. dominated the game from start to finish. Playing without Puka Nacua (ankle), Adams didn't get much volume, but the Rams ran nearly as many runs as passes thanks to creating an early lead. They'll take their bye next week before playing New Orleans in Week 9.

Matthew Stafford Oct 19 1:20pm ET
Matthew Stafford

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford went wild in a 35-7 beating of Jacksonville, accounting for all five L.A. touchdowns in an easy victory Sunday in London. The veteran QB finished 21-for-33 for only 182 yards, but did a ton of damage in the red zone, throwing four of his five scoring passes inside the five-yard line, three of which went to receiver Davante Adams. The Rams gained only 271 yards as a team, but controlled the game from start to finish as Stafford piled up a huge day for managers who started him. The Rams will take on New Orleans in Week 9 after a bye next week.

Cedrick Wilson Oct 19 12:20pm ET
Cedrick Wilson

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. is a healthy scratch in Week 7 against the hosting Cleveland Browns on Sunday. It's the second straight week that Wilson has been a healthy scratch, and it's not a good sign for the 29-year-old's involvement in the Dolphins' offense the rest of the season with Tyreek Hill (knee) out for the season. He also missed time earlier this year due to a knee injury, and he has not officially been active at all yet in his return to the Dolphins in 2025. Last year in 15 games (four starts) with the New Orleans Saints, Wilson caught 20 of his 27 targets for 211 yards and one touchdown. With Wilson being a healthy scratch again, Miami will move forward with Jaylen Waddle as its clear No. 1 receiver. Behind him will be Malik Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, but tight end Darren Waller should be quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's No. 2 target.

Brandon Graham Oct 19 12:20pm ET
Brandon Graham

Retired defensive end Brandon Graham is considering a return to the NFL. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Graham could come out of retirement and re-sign with the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran defender would become an immediate starter on defense after the Eagles lost Za'Darius Smith to a midseason retirement. Graham appeared in 11 games last year, totaling 20 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and one forced fumble, but he retired after the Super Bowl. In addition to being an impact lineman, he offers veteran experience, leadership, and a proven ability to win. Schefter's report indicates that the Eagles and Graham could finalize a contract as early as this week if he officially decides to return.
