Amid a four-game losing streak, Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said the team is evaluating everything, including looking toward the future by starting No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza over Kirk Cousins. "We have to go watch the film," Kubiak said after a 35-21 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. "We've got to talk about all of it."
| Footballguys view: Through seven games, Cousins has thrown for 1,877 yards, a league-leading 16 touchdowns and five interceptions. He has thrown seven TDs in the past four games after nine in the first three. To be clear, Cousins is not this team's biggest problem. But he's understood the reality of his situation since the team drafted Mendoza with the first pick in April's draft. If the losses begin to pile up, the likelihood of the team turning to the Heisman Trophy winner will increase. Stay tuned. |

Chiefs LB Nick Bolton briefly left Sunday night's 20-3 loss to the Seahawks in the third quarter before returning. "Nothing injury wise," head coach Andy Reid said after the game. "Nick had some spasms in his neck, and he'll work through that." Bolton was the subject of Reid's only postgame injury update.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba ran 2 times for 13 yards and also caught 9 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. He was projected for 19.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.8.

Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed will not return to Sunday night's game against the Chiefs due to a knee injury. Shaheed had headed to the locker room with a trainer earlier in the game and was initially listed as questionable to return.

Raiders QB Kirk Cousins addressed the possibility of being replaced by rookie QB Fernando Mendoza, saying, "If I'm not the best option, I don't want to be out there."
| Footballguys view: After three straight wins to start the season, the decision to ride with Cousins was looking like the wise choice. Now that the Raiders have lost four in a row, it's fair to wonder whether the time for Mendoza, the first-pick overall in April's draft, to take over the starting job is coming. The Raiders play the Jets in Week 8. |

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright exited Sunday's game in the late fourth quarter with a quad injury.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com reported, the reserve running back was assisting the Dolphins in running out the clock when he sustained the injury. Working behind Ollie Gordon II, Wright had six carries for eight yards in the 28-25 win over the Jets. |

Broncos DT Zach Allen said he'll be fine after hurting his hamstring in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cardinals. Allen offered a positive update on his health after the game, having left the field late against Arizona.

Bengals TE Erick All Jr. suffered an injury during his team's Week 7 game against the Baltimore Ravens. All was ruled out with what the Bengals called a right knee injury.
| Footballguys view: All was an important part of the team's second-half comeback before exiting with an injury. As seen on the broadcast, All limped off the field and went to the blue medical tent, then eventually went to the locker room. All has been a critical part of the offense for the Bengals when healthy, but he's struggled to stay on the field. The Bengals already put Tanner Hudson on injured reserve this season, so depth behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample continues to look shaky. |
Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said on Sunday that QB Jacoby Brissett will continue to be the team's starting quarterback following the 30-16 home loss to the Broncos. LaFleur appeared to understand that questions about the quarterback position will keep coming.
| Footballguys view: Brissett was hit repeatedly by the Broncos. He was sacked three times, and the Broncos were credited with 13 quarterback hits. Perhaps things will get better in a more favorable matchup against the Cowboys in Week 8. |

Los Angeles Rams RB Blake Corum ran 17 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 8 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 8.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.6.

Los Angeles Rams TE Davis Allen caught 4 passes for 20 yards and two touchdowns on 5 targets in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 2.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.0.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Sarah Barshop noted, outside of Puka Nacua, just one Rams wide receiver had a catch: Konata Mumpfield, for 15 yards. Instead, the Rams turned to their tight ends (Allen, Colby Parkinson, and Tyler Higbee) and their running backs (Kyren Williams and Blake Corum). It led to their highest-scoring game of the season. |

Las Vegas Raiders WR Tre Tucker caught 5 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He was projected for 9.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.8.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford completed 23 of 29 passes for 195 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 18.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.5.
| Footballguys view: Stafford led four consecutive and methodical touchdown drives before halftime to blow the score wide open and build a 28-6 lead at the half. But the catalyst for the offensive success was the run game, as the Rams ran at will and amassed 103 rushing yards in the first half and a season-high 199 in total. Despite the low overall passing numbers, the three touchdowns made for a solid fantasy showing for Stafford. |

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle's injury was categorized as a chest injury by the team before Sunday's win over the Cardinals ended.
| Footballguys view: The injury occurred on a reverse with under five minutes remaining in the 30-16 triumph. Waddle fumbled the pitch from quarterback Bo Nix and dove to recover the ball as a defender landed on top of him. Broncos head coach Sean Payton criticized his own play call on the reverse in which Waddle was injured. Waddle caught four passes for 48 yards on Sunday. He has 26 receptions for 276 yards and one score through seven games. We'll have more on Waddle's status for the team's Week 8 game against the Chiefs in coming days. |

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 22 of 32 passes for 303 yards with 2 touchdowns and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 19.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.0.
| Footballguys view: Goff continued his excellent season, and the Lions, despite some miscues and stalled drives, still racked up 415 yards of offense, got 26 first downs, and punted only twice. That normally leads to more than 20 points, but they'll take the win. The Lions face an aggressive Minnesota defense in Week 8. |

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta caught 1 pass for 18 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 11.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.3.

Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams caught 5 passes for 91 yards and two touchdowns on 9 targets in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 10.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.6.
| Footballguys view: Williams is becoming more of a focal point in the offense. His two touchdown catches Sunday made him the third player this season with multiple receiving TDs in back-to-back games, joining Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The Lions play the Vikings in Week 8. |
Jameson Williams player page
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs ran 29 times for 116 yards, also caught 5 passes for 27 yards on 6 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 24.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.8.

Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown ran 1 time for -1 yard and also caught 9 passes for 153 yards on 11 targets in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 16.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.7.

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix completed 15 of 29 passes for 222 yards with 1 touchdown and ran 7 times for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was projected for 16.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.2.
| Footballguys view: Nix, who has been reluctant to throw downfield to this point in the season, connected with Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton for a combined seven completions for 93 yards, and his screen pass to RJ Harvey went for a 52-yard touchdown, finally delivering some legitimate production. His 62-yard scoring run added to that. The Broncos play the Chiefs in Week 8. |
Bo Nix player page
Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride caught 10 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 12.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.1.
| Footballguys view: It was National Tight Ends Day on Sunday, and McBride, as he does on game days, holiday or not, was excellent again. As CBSSports.com notes, McBride became the first tight end in NFL history to record 400 regular-season catches in his first four seasons, bolstering his career total to 406. McBride has recorded at least seven receptions in all seven games this season while scoring four times heading into a Week 8 matchup with a weak Dallas pass defense. |

Broncos DT Zach Allen left the field late in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, with Denver up big. Allen is a key player for Denver to monitor.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. will have an MRI on his knee on Monday. The hope is that the injury won't be a long-term one.
| Footballguys view: Jones made an early exit from Sunday's win over the Colts after a 17-yard gain in the fourth quarter. He ran 8 times for 26 yards and also caught 1 pass for 0 yards on 1 target before aggravating an existing injury. Jordan Mason, who averaged 4.5 yards per carry in his return from IR Sunday, will be available to pick up any slack. |

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle went down on the field after a gadget play in Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Waddle landed hard on his left shoulder and looked "very uncomfortable" as he was assisted off the ground.
| Footballguys view: Waddle got hurt recovering a fumble on a broken play. The Broncos got a win and Bo Nix should be more confident heading into a showdown with the Chiefs in Week 8, but losing Waddle for the game would be a big blow for this inconsistent-at-best offense. Waddle was at seven targets and four catches for 48 yards when his afternoon was ended by this injury. |

Rams TE Colby Parkinson has returned to Sunday's game against the Raiders after being injured in the third quarter.
| Footballguys view: Parkinson finished the day with five catches (on six targets) for 48 yards. Both Parkinson and Tyler Higbee lost a pair of touchdowns to fellow tight end Davis Allen in this one. Allen was TE4 heading into the Sunday night game. |

Giants TE Isaiah Likely said he was OK after hobbling at times through the second half of Sunday's win over the Texans.
| Footballguys view: Likely caught 2 passes for 12 yards on 4 targets in Houston. He was projected for 11.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.2. The Giants head into their bye with a lot of players banged up and fighting through injuries. |

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s hamstring injury did not seem like anything serious after Sunday's win over the Texans. Tracy left the game with the hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Tracy scored before he left the game, but did not return. The Giants head into their bye with multiple players dealing with apparently minor issues. We'll be monitoring their status as developments warrant. |

Giants RB Cam Skattebo felt his hamstring on his long run in overtime of Sunday's win over the Texans, but he avoided straining it.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo ran 17 times for 124 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for -3 yards. He was RB11 through Sunday's late-afternoon window. As The Athletic's Dan Duggan reported, the mood in the Giants' locker room after the game was one of relief that the bye is here, with a lot of players banged up and fighting through injuries. We'll be following up on all of them as developments warrant. |

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey said after Sunday's 29-20 loss to the Falcons that he was confident his thigh injury is not a long-term issue. "It sucks because it feels like I was going on a run there and then my leg just died on me. Tried to get it going for the whole rest of the game. I know I'll be alright," McCaffrey said. He had returned to the field in uniform to start the second half.
| Footballguys view: "Just died on me" doesn't sound great, but the bye is coming at a perfect time. McCaffrey hasn't been a truly elite fantasy back this season, but he has delivered a solid fantasy RB1 for the mid-first-round pick it took to land him, which is just fine. We'll monitor the 49ers beat for any additional information on his injury during the bye. |

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty made an impressive catch during Sunday's game against the Rams and looked "a little shaken up" after the play. Jeanty went right back into the huddle.

Packers WR Matthew Golden has returned to Sunday's game against the Lions after being injured in the second quarter.
| Footballguys view: Although Golden finished the game with a team-high 12 targets, he was only able to convert them into six catches for 39 yards. Despite the quiet game, Golden remains a solid fantasy starter with upside going forward. The Packers play the Panthers on Thursday night in Week 8. |

Titans RB Tony Pollard played 46 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Browns. RB Michael Carter played 16 snaps. RB Julius Chestnut logged 21 special teams snaps and RB Kalel Mullings logged 15.

Texans WR Jaylin Noel has a turf toe injury, which is why he did not return to Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Giants, head coach DeMeco Ryans said. Noel is wearing a boot. He finished with two catches for -3 yards.
| Footballguys view: Even before the injury, Noel was unable to build on his 107-yard outing from Week 6 against the Jaguars in London. The Texans have a Week 8 bye, but turf toe injuries can linger. We'll watch for more over the off week. The good news for Houston is their receiver depth. With Tank Dell's return and the acquisition of Marvin Harrison Jr., the Texans have ample firepower to work alongside Nico Collins. |
Jaylin Noel player page
Giants RB Cam Skattebo said after Sunday's win over the Texans that he felt something in his hamstring on the run that set up RB Devin Singletary's game-winning touchdown. Skattebo said he was not sliding on purpose, but knew the Giants were in field-goal range so he slid. "Good thing we have a bye week," Skattebo said.

New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo ran 17 times for 124 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for -3 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 6.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.6.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo ran stronger as the game went on, and his 42-yard run in overtime set up the Giants to win before Devin Singletary finished the game with a 30-yard touchdown run. It looked like Skattebo did pull up on that last run, but he should be okay for Week 9 after the Giants' bye next week because he said he did not strain his hamstring, and the bye comes at a good time. Skattebo's value is back up with this strong performance by the whole offense, even if he is banged up and the Texans defense isn't what it used to be. |
Cam Skattebo player page
New York Giants RB Devin Singletary ran 5 times for 41 yards and a touchdown and also caught 3 passes for 14 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 3.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 13.0.

Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel caught 2 passes for -3 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the New York Giants. He was projected for 8.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.7.

New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely caught 2 passes for 12 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 11.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.2.
| Footballguys view: Likely has been putting up massive ceiling games in the "Rashee Rice" role from Matt Nagy's offense, but he was quiet with J.J. McCarthy showing off his arm strength and talent with decisive downfield throws in this win. Likely is still a starting fantasy tight end heading into the bye, although the quality of his chemistry with J.J. McCarthy is still a work in progress. |
Isaiah Likely player page
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins caught 2 passes for 6 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the New York Giants. He was projected for 14.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.6.
| Footballguys view: Collins has been a dud the last two weeks now that the team has added Marvin Harrison Jr. and Tank Dell returned to play from a catastrophic leg injury he suffered in 2024. This offense will remain pass-heavy because the Texans can't run the ball, so Collins could be a buy low during the bye. C.J. Stroud is spreading the ball around, but the team should re-focus the pass offense on their best wide receiver during the bye. |
Nico Collins player page
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers caught 7 passes for 111 yards on 9 targets in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 13.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.6.
| Footballguys view: Anyone who suffered through Justin Jefferson's poor season with J.J. McCarthy last season had to laugh when they saw this stat line. Nabers' value is very much intact with McCarthy and he should appreciate the rest his banged up shoulder and surgically repaired knee will get during the bye. |

Packers RB Josh Jacobs is the starting running back for Sunday's game against the Lions. Jacobs was activated from exempt status on Saturday after practicing on Friday, when head coach Matt LaFleur said he was 'on track to play' against Detroit.
