Eifert has just two touchdowns and one 50-plus yards game on the season.

Carr will reportedly have another throwing session to see where he’s at on Tuesday. Rattler left Thursday night’s game late due to ineffectiveness, but Allen told reporters he felt Rattler has played well when he’s had protection. With how good the Chargers defense has been playing this year, it’s likely neither quarterback is really worth starting for fantasy purposes in Week 8.

Olave’s concussion occurred during the Week 6 loss to the Bucs, and he was unable to play in the blowout loss during Thursday Night Football against the Broncos. The Saints are currently hosting Marquez Valdes-Scantling for a workout, and while New Orleans needs bodies even if Olave can go, obviously Olave’s potential absence plays a factor here.

Reddick agreed to a reworked contract Monday and will practice, but it’ll be his first action after holding out for the first seven games and missing camp. The 30-year-old should be a factor going forward, but it wouldn’t be a shock if his season didn’t begin until Week 9.

Since an exciting Week 1 start against the Texans, Richardson has played in portions of four games, not completing more than 50 percent of his passes in any of them, and has one touchdown against five interceptions while cracking 200 yards as a passer just once. The good news is that this didn’t stop him from running in Week 7. The bad news is that with the Colts rallying to defend their quarterback, we haven’t seen much of a reason to recommend him as more than a dice roll in standard leagues. Perhaps another meeting with the Texans will jog his memory.

“We have to find a way to try and get him the rock early and often and then go from there. It has to be a focus for us,” Stroud added. Squeaky wheel narrative for Week 8? Dell was targeted twice in the red zone early for the Texans in their loss to the Packers but dropped one and caught a second pass out of bounds. Despite a Nico Collins-sized hole in the offense, Dell has just 57 yards and 13 targets over the past two weeks.

As ESPN’s Adam Schefter notes, Tagovailoa still needs to pass concussion protocol before he can play. The fact he’s being designated for return, however, bodes well for him playing in Week 8 against the Cardinals as long as he does get through those protocols. The Dolphins passing game has been wretched since Tagovailoa has been out, and while there’s significant risks involved, the southpaw returning would be great news for those who roster Tyreek Hill and Jayden Waddle.

Whittington was active off a shoulder injury but played just 16 percent of the offensive snaps against the Raiders and was not targeted. He’d be hard to trust against a good Vikings defense if he were healthy, but when you combine the short week with last week’s bagel, it becomes hard to craft a real case for having Whittington in lineups this week.

Smith-Schuster left Sunday’s win over the 49ers with a right hamstring injury, and the wideout will miss at least one more contest with the issue. With the 27-year-old unavailable, it makes Xavier Worthy the top wide receiver in the passing attack, and should lead to more targets for players like Mecole Hardman and Skyy Moore.

Giants media again asked the question and forced Daboll to reiterate what he said after the game. This time Daboll gave an answer that was more intended to put the issue to bed. Jones has not been good enough to have a safe starting spot at this point, but Drew Lock did absolutely nothing to seize on the job. Jones will remain a low-end, superflex-only quarterback outside of good defensive matchups. Pittsburgh, next week, is not one of those matchups.

Watson will undergo further imaging to determine if this is a season-ending injury. The 26-year-old was a seventh-round pick in 2022, and he’s developed into one of the better young defenders on the Kansas City defense. Even if the injury doesn’t end his 2024 campaign, it’s very unlikely Watson will play anytime soon.
