The Browns slot man shredded the Tennessee secondary from start to finish. Coming into the game with a season-high of 64 receiving yards, Concepcion eclipsed that mark in the second quarter and didn’t look back. He continually shed tacklers against a low-effort Titans defense and functioned as the centerpiece of the Cleveland passing game. He led the Browns in targets, mostly seeing designed short-area throws from Deshaun Watson. In a Browns offense with a top-10 neutral pass rate, Concepcion should be a weekly top-36 option in PPR formats. He’ll get the Steelers in Week 8.

Cooper was an electric deep threat once again, bringing down catches for 60 and 52 yards, neither of which was his touchdown. He scored shortly after the 52-yard grab by lining up as a running back and cruising past his defender for an easy three-yard touchdown reception. Cooper Jr. is the first rookie in franchise history with back-to-back games with 100+ receiving yards and a touchdown. While we can’t say he has overtaken Garrett Wilson already, this is looking like, at worst, a co-WR1 situation. Cooper will flirt with a WR2 ranking when he takes on the Raiders next week.

After losing seemingly every wide receiver to injury, it was only a matter of time before we finally had a down Purdy game. The truth is, he didn’t even play poorly. His first interception was on a pass that he was trying to throw away when safety Jesse Bates made an incredible toe-drag interception. The second pick was on a really nice play by linebacker Kendal Daniels over the middle. Purdy looked good and gave his team a chance to win despite a depleted offense. The 49ers will have a bye next week and then hopefully get back at least one of their primary receivers before a Week 9 game against the Raiders.

Pollard, whose last big game before Sunday was against these same Browns in 2025, scored two first quarter touchdowns against a Cleveland rush defense that seemed uninterested in tackling Pollard. He scored a third rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter, and could have had a fourth score if not for a Browns goal line stand. Pollard has seen big workloads with Tyjae Spears (knee) sidelined but hadn’t done much with the opportunity before Sunday. The Titans offense operated quickly, using no-huddle through much of the game. That created more play volume that benefited Pollard and the rest of the Titans offense. As long as Spears remains sidelined, Pollard should remain in 12-team lineups next week against the Bengals.

Willis also added 37 yards and a touchdown on eight rush attempts. It was, by far, his best performance as a Dolphin. It was also the first win for both Willis and first-year head coach Jeff Hafley. Willis picked apart the Jets for chunk play after chunk play. His biggest play of the day was a 63-yard completion to Caleb Douglas, though nearly all of those yards came after the catch. He had already connected with Douglas earlier in the game for his first touchdown of the day. Things will be a lot tougher for Willis and the Miami offense when they take on the Patriots next week. Despite the strong showing today, Willis will remain buried in the QB2 ranks for Week 8.

This makes it two-straight games where Huntley and the Ravens failed to score in the second half. Huntley was solid in the first half, throwing for 227-1-0 on 21 passes, with his lone touchdown pass coming on a 48-yard screen pass to Zay Flowers on the Ravens’ opening drive. He would lead the Ravens on two drives that ended in field goals in the second quarter, but the Ravens struggled mightily in the second half as the Bengals rallied for 35 unanswered points. At one point, Huntley had the Ravens in position for a short field goal to go up 16-14, but passed on the points and opted to go for it on fourth-and-two, which resulted in an incomplete pass to tight end Josh Cuevas. It was reported during the game that Lamar Jackson (ankle) would be back for Week 8’s game against the Ravens. Now sitting at 4-3 on the year, it goes without saying that the Ravens are in desperate need of Jackson in what is shaping up to be a highly competitive AFC North division.

The story of the Vikings season has been a vaunted defense with a mediocre offense. That remained true in Week 7, with the Minnesota offense scoring just one touchdown on a Kyler Murray five-yard toss to T.J. Hockenson. Murray averaged 6.3 yards per attempt and struggled to connect with open receivers much of the day. He added 39 yards as a rusher, most of those coming on a 35-yard scamper prior to his passing touchdown. Murray came up limping after a second quarter play but did not miss any plays and finished the game. He threw an end zone interception in the second quarter, but the defender was ruled out of bounds. On the flip side, Murray nearly had Juan Jennings for a long passing touchdown in the second quarter, but Jennings failed to haul it in. Murray is a high-variance fantasy quarterback due to his rushing upside, but his passing ability remains poor and caps his ceiling. He will be in the fantasy QB2 ranks for a soft Week 8 matchup against the Lions.

After throwing for just 55 scoreless yards in the first half, Burrow and the Bengals came out firing on all cylinders in the second half. Trailing 13-0 at halftime, Burrow immediately orchestrated a nine-play, 66-yard drive that ended with a six-yard touchdown pass to Mike Gesicki, and followed that up with four more touchdown drives on his team’s next four possessions to jump out to a 35-13 lead. Burrow was as sharp as could be in the second half, completing 16-of-18 attempts while also completing two passes of 20-plus air yards. Burrow has now thrown four touchdowns in back-to-back games and has four multi-touchdown games this season. He’ll be on the QB1 radar next week when the Bengals play host to the Titans.

The Colts passing game struggled to get going against an elite Vikings defense. Jones crossed 100 passing yards on the Colts’ last possession of the game, finishing the drive off with a game-ending interception. He nearly threw a first quarter interception just off Vikings LB Blake Cashman’s hands and threw the ball into danger several other times. Jones was sacked four times and was ineffective as a runner against the Vikings’ pressure-inducing front-seven. Out of the Colts’ first 35 offensive plays, 16 had gone for zero or negative yardage. It was ultimately a poor passing day against a tough defense for Jones and the Colts. Jones is in the fantasy QB2 ranks against another tough defense in the Jaguars for Week 8.

Howard left the game in the first half with a head injury and had not returned as of the start of the fourth quarter. Losing Howard would be a tough blow for a Cleveland offensive line that has been solid in both run and pass blocking in 2026. Look for Howard to enter the league’s concussion protocol in the coming days.
