Herbert completed 18 of 25 passes for 227 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding seven rushes for 62 yards in the Chargers' 37-10 win over the Vikings on Thursday night.

Herbert faced an uphill battle coming in, considering the aggressive tendencies of the Vikings' defense and makeshift nature of his offensive line. However, the sixth-year pro and his teammates performed admirably, heating up starting in the latter portion of the first quarter and clicking from that point forward. Herbert connected with Oronde Gadsden from eight yards out for the first points of the night, and he then launched a beautifully thrown 27-yard scoring strike to Ladd McConkey down the right sideline just before halftime. Herbert capped things off with a six-yard TD toss to rookie Tre' Harris early in the fourth quarter while subsequently leading Los Angeles to another pair of scoring drives that culminated in Cameron Dicker field goals. Herbert now has back-to-back three-touchdown tallies within a span of five days heading into a favorable Week 9 road matchup against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Herbert completed 37 of 55 passes for 420 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Colts. He added 31 rushing yards on six carries.

The 420 yards were a career high for Herbert, exceeding the 405 yards he racked up in 2023 during a Week 3 meeting with the Vikings. Most of that production came in the second half Sunday, including all three of the QB's touchdowns -- strikes to Quentin Johnston and Keenan Allen in the third quarter and Oronde Gadsden in the fourth, all in the red zone -- as the Chargers tried in vain to rally from a 23-3 halftime deficit. Herbert will take a 13:6 TD:INT through seven starts into a Week 8 meeting with the 2025 edition of a Minnesota defense that just got torched by Jalen Hurts.

Head coach Dave Canales hinted Monday that he's inclined to give Dowdle the bulk of the Panthers' carries moving forward rather than splitting the work evenly between Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports. "Chuba has meant a lot to this organization and certainly to the identity that we want to build and we wanted to give him the opportunity to go out there and to continue to impact our team in a positive way," Canales said. "But we cannot ignore the fact that Rico has been exceptional. ... We love tempo and violence that he is running with. These are things we are looking back on the last four games and really taking a snapshot of what has been successful for us."

While Hubbard was sidelined with a calf injury in Weeks 5 and 6, Dowdle took full advantage of his opportunity to serve as Carolina's lead back, amassing 473 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in wins over the Dolphins and Cowboys. In the two games since he returned from the injury, Hubbard stepped back in as the Panthers' starter but has alternated series with Dowdle. During that two-game stretch, Dowdle has handily outperformed Hubbard, averaging 5.3 yards on 25 carries compared to Hubbard's 2.5-yard average on 26 carries. Though Hubbard may be on the field for the first snap of this coming Sunday's game in Green Bay, Canales' comments point to the touches out of the Carolina backfield tilting more dramatically into Dowdle's favor. Assuming that's the case, fantasy managers would be able to deploy Dowdle will more confidence in Week 9, after the timeshare arrangement in the previous two games made it more difficult to project him taking on a larger workload.

Dowdle rushed eight times for 54 yards and wasn't targeted in the Panthers' 40-9 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 29 yards.

Dowdle logged four fewer carries than backfield mate Chuba Hubbard, but he outgained the latter by 20 rushing yards. In the two games since Hubbard's return from a calf injury, Dowdle has 123 rushing yards on 25 carries to his teammate's 26-65-1 line on the ground in the same span, but the two are likely to continue working in a close workload split during a Week 9 road tilt against the Packers next Sunday afternoon.

Dowdle rushed the ball 17 times for 79 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets. He added one reception on two targets for 17 yards.

Chuba Hubbard returned after a two-game absence and drew the start over Dowdle. The duo then alternated possessions, with Dowdle turning in the far more efficient performance by outgaining Hubbard, 96-48 in total yardage. Dowdle has certainly gained a more significant role in the Carolina offense with his strong showings across the last three weeks, though it doesn't appear the team is prepared to turn the backfield over to him fully at this point.

Shaheed hauled in nine of 12 targets for 75 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 23-3 loss to the Buccaneers.

Shaheed's 12 targets and nine receptions crushed his previous highs of nine and six respectively, but he failed to sniff the 114 yards he posted in Week 5. The fourth-year starter has provided a nice floor for those in deeper formats, recording at least four receptions in each of his eight appearances in 2025. Shaheed's overall line of 39-431-2 looks solid on paper, but over half of his production (including both of his touchdowns) have come in three games. Expect Shaheed to continue serving as one of either Spencer Rattler's or Tyler Shough's top targets against the Rams next Sunday.

Shaheed secured four of nine targets for 40 yards in the Saints' 26-14 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Shaheed was the surprise leader in targets on the afternoon for New Orleans while curiously posting four catches for the sixth consecutive game. The speedy fourth-year pro has just two catches of more than 20 yards this season after compiling five in just six 2024 games before his campaign was cut short. The way Spencer Rattler is being asked to manage the offense certainly has something to do with that downturn, but Shaheed should remain a steady contributor in a Week 8 home matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday afternoon.

Mooney brought in one of four targets for 11 yards in the Falcons' 34-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Drake London (hip) was a surprise inactive after being placed on the injury report Saturday, but Mooney and fill-in signal-caller Kirk Cousins were unable to connect until the latter portion of the contest. The disappointing showing featured a season-low receiving yardage total for Mooney, who now has two one-catch tallies in his last three appearances heading into a Week 9 road matchup against a tough Patriots defense.

Mooney (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Miami, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Mooney missed Week 6 with the hamstring injury but returned last week to catch three of five targets for 68 yards while playing 83 percent of snaps in a 20-10 loss to the 49ers. He should get similar playing time this Sunday against one of the worst defenses in the league, though it isn't year clear if he'll be catching passes from Michael Penix (questionable - knee) or Kirk Cousins.

Mooney (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Mooney followed up Wednesday's limited walkthrough with a similar workload at Thursday's practice as he tends to the hamstring injury that has bothered him since Week 4 action. Following a Week 5 bye, he sat out Week 6 before returning to action this past Sunday in San Francisco, when he hauled in three of five passes for 68 yards on an 83 percent snap share. Mooney will have one more chance to practice in full Friday, or else risk heading into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.

Elliott went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and connected on all five of his point-after tries during the Eagles' 38-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Elliott's first field goal from 58 yards in the first quarter hit the right upright, but he came back out in the third quarter and connected on a 40-yard try. He has missed one field goal in each of his last two games and has gone 7-for-9 on field-goal attempts and 25-for-25 on extra-point tries through the first eight games of the regular season.

Elliott missed his only field-goal attempt and made all four of his PATs in Sunday's 28-22 win over the Vikings.

Elliott missed a 42-yard field-goal try in the fourth quarter, which would prove to be his only attempt of the day. The kicker has now attempted one or fewer field goals in six of the team's first seven games this season and ultimately carries a rather low floor from a fantasy perspective.

Ward completed 22 of 38 pass attempts for 259 yards, one touchdown and one interception while taking two carries for four yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Colts.

Ward completed 25 of 34 passes for 255 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Patriots. He also lost a fumble.

Brown was unable to reel in his lone target during Monday's 28-7 win against the Commanders.

Brown recorded two catches on four targets for 14 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders.
