Bengals WR Tyler Boyd erupted for 8 grabs, 155 yards and 1 score against the Falcons in Week 7. The Bengals talked about getting Boyd more involved — and they delivered. Joe Burrow fed him 9 targets (21.4%) — 2nd most on the team behind Ja’Marr Chase. Boyd scored on a deep ball with help from a defender that tripped and fell. Still, the Bengals’ shift to a more pass-happy approach should provide a boost to him going forward. He's still more WR4 than WR3 when this offense is healthy. But Boyd certainly belongs on rosters in all 10+ team leagues. Next up is a road matchup with Cleveland.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins made his season-debut in Week 7, snagging 10 of 14 targets for 103 yards. Oh yeah, he's back. Hopkins’ 14 targets represented a wild 48.2% team target share. While he faced a Saints secondary minus CB Marshon Lattimore, it’s clear that Hopkins will be leaned on heavily with Marquise Brown (foot) sidelined. The veteran is a fine WR2 for the road ahead.

Titans DT Jeffery Simmons left Sunday's win over the Colts with an ankle injury. We'll watch for word on whether he'll miss any further time.

Titans WR Kyle Philips (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Colts. He hurt his hamstring in Friday’s practice. There’s minimal fantasy impact here.

Titans WR Kyle Philips was added to Friday’s injury report with a hamstring and is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Colts. We’ll find out whether he’s active around 11:30 am ET on Sunday, but Phillips shouldn’t be in your Week 7 fantasy plans.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero hears that Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins is expected to be a "full-go" vs. the Saints tonight. Hopkins just returned from his 6-game suspension but has 2 seasons' worth of experience in HC Kliff Kingsbury's offense. He gets a plus matchup against a New Orleans secondary missing top CB Marshon Lattimore.

The Cardinals "hope" WR DeAndre Hopkins will be able to play vs. the Saints on Thursday night, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Hopkins' 6-game suspension is up, and he's in "phenomenal shape," per Schultz. But the short week complicates the situation. Of course, Arizona could really use Hopkins -- especially with WR Marquise Brown dealing with a foot injury. We'll keep you updated on this. If Hopkins does suit up on Thursday, he's best treated as a risk/reward WR3.

Cowboys RB Tony Pollard matched his season highs for opportunities (carries + targets) and touches in Sunday night's loss to the Eagles. He ran for 44 yards on 11 carries and added 2 catches for 8 yards among 3 targets. The 14 opportunities and 13 touches matched his totals from the Week 3 win over the Giants. Pollard's 40% snap share fell right in line with the previous 4 games, however, and still well short of the 55% he played in the season-opening loss to the Buccaneers. It would seem fair to expect more opportunities for Pollard in trailing game scripts, though we remain surprised that Dallas hasn't integrated him further into the offense across situations. RB Ezekiel Elliott did run well in the loss to Philly, gaining 81 yards and scoring among his 13 carries. Elliott added 1 catch for 5 yards on his lone target.

Cowboys RB Tony Pollard delivered a 57-yard TD run in Sunday's win over the Rams ... but not a whole lot else. He rushed just 7 other times in the game (for 29 yards) distantly trailing Ezekiel Elliott's 22 attempts (for 78 yards). Elliott also continued to run ahead of Pollard as a receiver: 9 routes to 4, according to Pro Football Focus numbers. We'd love to see Pollard's displayed explosiveness force Dallas coaches to give him more touches. But his continued limited playing time makes Pollard bench fodder in most fantasy football leagues.

Cowboys RB Tony Pollard (illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. We’re expecting him to play his usual role behind RB Ezekiel Elliott.

Cowboys RB Tony Pollard (illness) is expected to play vs. the Rams today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. He popped up on the injury report on Friday and did not practice, but we're not expecting Pollard's role or effectiveness to be impacted today.

The Titans placed WR Treylon Burks on IR with his turf toe. He's out at least the next 4 games, making Week 10 his earliest possible return. Burks is droppable in fantasy leagues without an IR spot.

Titans S Amani Hooker (concussion), EDGE Bud Dupree (hip) and LB Zach Cunningham (elbow) are out for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Cowboys RB Tony Pollard (illness) is questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. He popped up on the injury report on Friday and did not practice. Players usually play through illnesses, but stay tuned to Shark Bites for further updates on Pollard's Week 5 status.

Titans WR Treylon Burks (toe) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders, as expected. The rookie figures to miss multiple weeks with his turf toe. Burks’ absence leaves Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as Tennessee’s top 2 WRs, with Kyle Phillips likely taking over in the slot.

The Titans defense practiced without 3 starters Thursday. S Amani Hooker (concussion) sat out, just a day after putting in a limited workout. That seems to indicate he's not likely to play Sunday against the Commanders. EDGE Bud Dupree (hip) and LB Zach Cunningham (elbow) each missed a 2nd straight practice. These absences would only soften a defense that doesn't present a scary matchup at full strength.

Titans rookie WR Treylon Burks' injury has been diagnosed as turf toe, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Burks will not need surgery but "will miss some time." Whether the team places the rookie on IR should give us a hint as to how soon he might return.

Steelers S Terrell Edmunds suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Jets. We'll see how quickly he proceeds through the league protocol.

Titans WR Treylon Burks was carted to the locker room after going down in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Colts. We'll update the rookie's status when we know more.

Update: Burks has a left foot injury and has been ruled out.

Titans CB Roger McCreary (back) is active for today's game against the Colts.
