Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams still received the bulk of the backfield workload and saw the team's third-most targets. During the 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings, Williams finished with 23 carries for 97 yards, five receptions for 19 yards, and a touchdown on seven targets. With this performance, Williams moved into the RB2 on the season for the time being. He continues to receive the most reliable share of touches in most backfields and should see a bit more open field with the receiving corps getting healthy again. He'll look to score again in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker could be the team's top option again at WR in their Week 8 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. The team's current WR1, Jakobi Meyers (ankle) missed practice on Thursday, meaning he may not be available for the contest. If he isn't, Tucker will once again be the team's lead healthy receiver. It's a terrible matchup -- the Chiefs have allowed the fourth-least PPR fantasy points to opposing receivers. They'll be able to focus on the second-year pro and limit him if Meyers can't play. Even if both WRs take the field, it will be difficult for the former Cincinnati Bearcat to succeed. He's not worthy of start consideration in Week 8.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold started out hot, but he cooled off after the first few drives. Darnold threw touchdowns on back-to-back drives to open the game, but didn't have a ton of success after that. He completed 18-of-25 passing attempts for 240 yards and two scores in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Darnold now has thrown for 1,610 yards with 14 touchdowns and five interceptions through seven games. He hasn't been lighting up the box score lately, but he doesn't make silly mistakes with the football. Fantasy managers should be able to keep riding him as a QB1 for next week's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

The Las Vegas Raiders D/ST will have to dig deep to try to find a way to stop the Kansas City Chiefs offense and its playmakers in a Week 8 divisional showdown. The unit has given up 26.1 points per game, fourth-most in the NFL, and will now face Patrick Mahomes II and Andy Reid's offense. Though the Chiefs have struggled and Mahomes has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns this season, Las Vegas hasn't had any answers against the run -- they've allowed 4.8 yards per opponent rush attempt, seventh worst in the league. An inability to stop the run typically makes fantasy D/ST units not startable, and the Raiders group will remain so for Week 8.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had all of his weapons back on offense and made use of every single one in their 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran signal-caller finished the game with 279 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception while throwing 25-for-34. He was able to find nine different pass-catchers in this game, and his chemistry with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp returned right away. This was his first game of the season with more than one touchdown and no sacks. The Rams will get some extra rest before heading to Seattle in Week 9.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White and his team will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8, and signs are pointing to an overall reduced role for the third-year pro. He had just four touches in Week 7, and though that was his first game back after missing two contests to a groin injury, he's been outplayed by backfield mate Alexander Mattison this season. The latter saw 26 touches last week to White's four. The former Georgia Bulldog has been given plenty of opportunity to shine but has come up short. He won't register as a start even in deeper leagues -- he has almost no pass-catching upside to salvage his fantasy scoring.

From RotoBaller

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers will lead the pass-catching attack into a Week 8 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs, and he may be the only offensive player on the team managers can have consistent optimism over. He leads the NFL in many receiving categories among tight ends, and is the engine through which the Las Vegas offense runs. The No. 1 overall TE in full-PPR fantasy scoring has had a ridiculous target share since the departure of WR Davante Adams and during the absence of WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle). Bowers should start in all fantasy lineups, and expect more big things from the stellar rookie.

Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (ankle) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. The veteran defender was designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday and remains eligible to practice without being activated until November 13. Of course, the Colts could opt to activate him prior to that deadline, perhaps as early as this week versus the Houston Texans. If activated, he would give the Colts' defense a major boost ahead of their key divisional battle.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee, hamstring) logged a second consecutive limited practice on Thursday. The veteran signal-caller hasn't missed a snap since Week 1, but his injury status is one to monitor as it could impact his availability for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. The last time he faced New England, Rodgers racked up 281 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns. Assuming he plays in Week 8, he'll rank as a mid-to-high fantasy QB2.

From RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson (hamstring) did not participate in practice on Thursday. As the Steelers prepare for Week 8 against the New York Giants, it appears they could be without their rookie wide receiver. The 23-year-old has offered minimal contributions so far this season, appearing in just one game amidst absences caused by injury or healthy scratch. He continues to look for his first career NFL target and reception.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. He had been limited on Wednesday. This improvement in status is great news for Engram and suggests that he should be able to play against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, barring some sort of unexpected setback. The 30-year-old has been a top contributor over the last two weeks, catching 15 passes for 137 yards and one touchdown during that span. He's a very solid TE1 option for Sunday's game against the Packers.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) was officially listed as a limited participant on Thursday, maintaining that status for the second day in a row. Davis has managed to play in all seven games this year, catching 18 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns. Even if he suits up against the Green Bay Packers this week, Davis is off the fantasy radar given his role behind Evan Engram and Brian Thomas Jr. in the Jaguars' passing offense.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) logged his second consecutive limited practice on Thursday. The 25-year-old picked up the injury during Week 6 in London and hasn't been able to play since then. Although it sounds like he has a real chance to play this Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, Etienne is a risky fantasy play given that Tank Bigsby has seemingly taken over the lead-back role in Jacksonville. The Packers also represent a tough matchup given that their defense has quietly been one of the league's best this year.

From RotoBaller

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Jayden Reed (ankle) and Christian Watson (ankle) were both limited during Thursday's practice. Both players head into Week 8 with injuries, but luckily they aren't considered to be major issues. Reed has been reliable throughout most of the season, but is coming off his worst performance of the season. He should be able to bounce back against the Jacksonville Jaguars secondary in Week 8. Watson has been quiet this season, but does have big-play ability. If active, Reed is a must-start while Watson is a desperation boom-or-bust choice.

From RotoBaller

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) didn't suit up for Thursday's practice session. Meyers was limited on Wednesday, but didn't practice at all on Thursday. It's possible that it was a rest day for Meyers, but that was not confirmed. This doesn't look good considering Meyers hasn't played in two weeks due to this ankle issue. The Raiders could desperately use Meyers with Davante Adams no longer with the team. If healthy, Meyers is the No. 1 option in the passing game and could carve out WR3 value against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was sidelined for the second straight day during practice. This is not good to see after Dissly's eight-catch performance in Week 7. Now, Dissly is in danger of missing Week 8 after back-to-back absences. If active, Dissly sneaks onto the TE2 radar against the New Orleans Saints. Otherwise, Hayden Hurst (groin) could be asked to take on a bigger role after he returned to practice on Thursday. However, Hurst hasn't done enough this season to earn the trust of fantasy managers.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) was limited during Thursday's practice session. Levis continues to deal with an AC joint sprain that he suffered in Week 4. It's worth noting that the issue is on his throwing shoulder, which could explain his poor play in Week 6. Mason Rudolph started last week and was able to hold his own on the field. Rodolph threw for 215 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. He'll likely start against the Detroit Lions this weekend, but won't be a recommended streaming option.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. The organization is hopeful that Spears can get back on the field this week after sitting out in Week 7. If healthy, Spears figures to continue being the primary backup to Tony Pollard. Spears has struggled with only one game with over 30 rushing yards this season. Pollard has taken over the bulk of the carries in the backfield which makes Spears a tough option to trust heading into a difficult matchup against the Detroit Lions.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot) was absent during Thursday's practice session. This could put the Titans in a bad spot heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Detroit Lions. They traded veteran wideout DeAndre Hopkins and fellow receiver Treylon Burks (knee) has been placed on the injured reserve. The absence of Ridley would mean Tyler Boyd and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine would be the primary targets in the passing game. Ridley has been a disappointment this season with 12 receptions for 183 yards heading into Week 8. However, he could have some streaming appeal with the Titans thin at wide receiver.

Denver Broncos WR Josh Reynolds (arm, finger, head) was reportedly shot in the arm and in the back of the head in Denver Friday, Oct. 18, but the Broncos said the injuries were minor and that Reynolds received treatment for the injuries.
