JuJu Smith-Schuster

KC Wide Receiver #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

JuJu Smith-Schuster exited with a hamstring injury in Week 7 against the 49ers.

Smith-Schuster, who entered the game battling a hamstring issue, is questionable to return, but would seem to be done for the day. Coming off a 130-yard outing in the Chiefs’ Week 5 game, Smith-Schuster profiled as the team’s No. 1 receiver coming into Sunday’s Super Bowl rematch against the Niners. Skyy Moore and Mecole Hardman could see more pass game involvement if JuJu misses extended time.
Bijan Robinson

ATL Running Back #7

Bijan Robinson had 21 rushes for 103 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons’ Week 7 loss against the Seahawks, adding three catches for 40 yards.

Robinson had his second straight big game, out-rushing Tyler Allgeier 21 to five and seeing most of the red zone work. Robinson was elusive and explosive against a Seahawks defense that has struggled mightily against the run for much of the season. With ample pass game involvement, Robinson is as immune to game script as any running back in the NFL. He’ll have a favorable matchup in Week 8 against the Bucs.
Joe Burrow

CIN Quarterback #9

Joe Burrow completed 15-of-25 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns in the Bengals’ 21-14, Week 7 win over the Browns.

Burrow and the Bengals’ offensive performance was lost in the shuffle of their Ohio divisional counterparts’ quarterback situation. A Charlie Jones kick return touchdown got things started, but the Bengals’ six first half possessions ended in five punts and a turnover on downs. Burrow was sacked three times on the day, but finally strung together a pair of scoring drives in the second half. He found Ja’Marr Chase for an 18-yard touchdown, then found Tee Higgins for a 25-yard touchdown later in the third quarter. Outside of that, it was a pedestrian day for Burrow, enough to clinch the victory. Burrow is a back-end fantasy QB1 against the Eagles for Week 8.
Geno Smith

SEA Quarterback #7

Geno Smith completed 18-of-28 attempts for 207 yards and two touchdowns in the Seahawks’ Week 7 win against the Falcons, adding four rushes for 15 yards.

Geno, leading the NFL in pass attempts and pass yards, didn’t have to do much in this one. The Seahawks defense dominated in the second half, allowing Seattle’s offense to take the air out of the ball for the final quarter and a half. Geno hit DK Metcalf for a 35-yard score just before halftime and connected with Ken Walker for a short touchdowns before the game got out of hand. An extended absence of Metcalf, who left the game with a knee injury, would be a downgrade for Smith’s fantasy prospects. He’ll take on the middling Buffalo secondary in Week 8.
Jayden Daniels

WAS Quarterback #5

Jayden Daniels exited Week 7’s game against the Panthers due to an apparent rib injury and is questionable to return.

Daniels took a hard hit on a read option and was seen getting evaluated by trainers on the sideline. He returned to the field on the following drive to test out some throws, but was in visible discomfort and left for the locker room. Backup Marcus Mariota came in to replace Daniels. We will provide an update on Daniels’ status when we learn more.
Jameis Winston

CLE Quarterback #5

Jameis Winston completed 5-of-11 passes for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Browns’ 21-14, Week 7 loss to the Bengals.

Winston was surprisingly relegated to the emergency third quarterback role prior to the Browns’ Week 7 game against the Bengals. After Deshaun Watson (Achilles) and Dorian Thompson-Robinson (finger) both went down during the game, Winston came in and immediately led a touchdown-scoring drive in the fourth quarter. He attempted 11 passes on the drive, finding David Njoku for a jump ball in the back of the end zone and an eight-yard score. Winston also found Cedric Tillman for the two-point conversion, but a failed onside kick kept Winston and the offense on the sideline to close the game. With Watson likely out for the season, Winston and Thompson-Robinson are in consideration to start, though Winston has the better resume while Thompson-Robinson is now dealing with a finger injury. Winston enters the fantasy QB2 conversation should he be named the Browns starter.
Dorian Thompson-Robinson

CLE Quarterback #17

Dorian Thompson-Robinson completed 11-of-24 passes for 82 yards and two interceptions in the Browns’ 21-14, Week 7 loss to the Bengals, adding three carries for 44 yards.

Thompson-Robinson was penciled in as the Browns’ QB2 this week, with Jameis Winston being relegated to the emergency third QB role. Starter Deshaun Watson went down with an Achilles injury, thrusting Thompson-Robinson into the game in the second quarter. He struggled to get much going against the Bengals defense, mostly completing short-area passes. Thompson-Robinson threw a pair of interceptions as well before exiting in the fourth quarter due to a finger injury. With Watson likely out for the season, the Browns have decisions to make about their quarterback situation. Thompson-Robinson was boost into the QB2 role this week, but with Watson’s injury, Winston is back in the mix to start. The finger injury will also need to be looked at for Thompson-Robinson, but if he starts, he is no more than a fantasy QB3.
Kenneth Walker III

SEA Running Back #9

Ken Walker had 14 rushes for 69 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks’ Week 7 win against the Falcons, adding two catches for 24 yards and a touchdown.

Walker continues his pass-catching tear, making the most of his two targets on the day. Coming into Week 7, Walker had averaged six targets per game. He was reasonably efficient on the ground and had a first quarter touchdown called back on a holding penalty. Walker’s rushing totals were dinged against the Falcons with the Seahawks — holding a big lead — resting their starters in the second half of the fourth quarter. Zach Charbonnet had eight rushing attempts on the day. Walker in Week 8 will face the Bills, one of the most generous rush defenses in the NFL.
Kirk Cousins

ATL Quarterback #18

Kirk Cousins completed 24-of-35 attempts for 232 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the Falcons’ 34-14 Week 7 loss against the Seahawks.

Cousins was off the mark throughout the day, often missing pass catchers with high throws and appearing generally uncomfortable against an injury-marred Seattle secondary. Cousins in the third quarter fumbled on a big hit and a Seahawks defender scooped the ball and scored. The next possession, Cousins overthrew Drake London for an interception, essentially ending the game. The Falcons were once again run heavy in this one. That left little volume for Atlanta pass catchers. Cousins will look to bounce back in Week 8 against a generous Tampa secondary in what should be a back-and-forth affair.
DK Metcalf

SEA Wide Receiver #14

DK Metcalf (knee) was carted off in Week 7 against the Falcons.

Metcalf injured his knee on his final catch of the game. He tested the knee on the sideline before hopping on a cart and heading to the locker room. Metcalf dominated the Atlanta secondary before exiting. He had four catches for 99 yards and a touchdown, while narrowly missing out on a second score. An absence of Metcalf would mean more targets for Jaxon Smith-Ngigba and Tyler Lockett. It would also be a major blow to Geno Smith’s fantasy prospects.
