5 days agoBuffalo Bills tight end
Dalton Kincaid caught four passes for 31 yards and a touchdown in the team's 31-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Kincaid finished tied for second on the team in targets (seven), trailing wide receiver
Khalil Shakir. His touchdown came from 12 yards out just before halftime. The score saved what was otherwise a mediocre performance on National Tight Ends Day. Fellow tight end
Dawson Knox tallied more yards (50) on two receptions. Kincaid will be a low-end TE1 when the Bills host the Miami Dolphins next week.

Cade Otton delivered an incredible performance during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Otton functioned as the top pass-catching option with the Bucs missing both
Mike Evans (hamstring) and
Chris Godwin (ankle) on Sunday. The young tight end hauled in nine of his 10 targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. Otton now has 17 receptions for 181 yards and two scores over his last two games. He'll head into a matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs next week. Fantasy managers can go ahead and consider Otton a TE1 now with the Bucs shorthanded on receiving options.

5 days agoBuffalo Bills wide receiver
Khalil Shakir caught nine passes for 107 yards in the team's 31-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He also rushed once for two yards. Shakir's nine receptions are a career-high, as were his 10 targets. It was the third time in Shakir's three-year career that topped 100 receiving yards. Shakir was involved early and often and led the Bills in targets, receptions, and receiving yards. The receiving touchdowns went to
Keon Coleman and
Dalton Kincaid. Shakir keeps a steady floor operating from the slot and will be in the flex conversation when the Bills host the Miami Dolphins next week.

5 days agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving has been impressive, especially over the last few weeks. The rookie back has made the most of his chances and carved out a nice role for himself in this offense. On Sunday, Irving rushed nine times for 44 yards while hauling in all seven of his targets for 40 yards in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Irving has now seen nine or more carries in six straight games. Now, Irving is getting involved in the passing game as well, which should only increase his value. Irving is putting himself in the RB2 conversation for next week's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

5 days agoBuffalo Bills wide receiver
Amari Cooper caught one pass for three yards on two targets in the team's win over Seattle in Week 8. The veteran played more snaps than last week in his second game with the Bills but trailed
Keon Coleman and
Khalil Shakir. Those receivers and tight end
Dalton Kincaid were
Josh Allen's primary targets. It's difficult for all fantasy-relevant players on the Buffalo offense to succeed at once, and there will be inconsistencies for Cooper and the rest of the wide receiver room. The game script also didn't help Cooper. The Bills held a 17-point lead in the third quarter. He'll be a WR2/3 next week against the Miami Dolphins.

5 days agoThe Denver Broncos defensive unit turned in another solid outing in the team's 28-14 blowout of the Carolina Panthers. Don't let the box score fool you, as this game was not as close as it may seem. Carolina scored a touchdown on their opening drive of the game but did not again reach pay-dirt until their last -- deep into garbage time. The Broncos D recorded two sacks and two interceptions -- their second multi-interception effort of the year. Sunday marked the fifth time in eight contests that they've held their opponents to 14 points or less. It was another strong showing for one of the league's tougher defensive units. Denver will line up to take on the Baltimore Ravens next Sunday in Week 9, a much more formidable opponent.

5 days agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. finally got back on track with a 22-yard touchdown catch in the Week 8 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Harrison Jr. hauled in six catches for 111 yards and a touchdown, which is on par for a WR1-type outing. The Cardinals showed a commitment to scheming up looks for Harrison Jr. to get the ball despite playing against one of the top passing defenses in the NFL. If they continue that commitment, fantasy managers should once again feel confident in starting Harrison Jr. He appears to be valued as a high-end WR2 when the Cardinals host the Chicago Bears in Week 9.

5 days agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Rachaad White continues to have little success on the ground. However, White has been able to salvage his fantasy value with his receiving ability. That was the case once again during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. White rushed six times for 29 yards, but hauled in five of his six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Bucs are without their top two wideouts, so as expected they went with the short passing game. White figures to be stuck in this running back committee for the foreseeable future. Although, White still should be a fine PPR option for fantasy managers during next week's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

5 days agoBuffalo Bills wide receiver
Keon Coleman caught five passes for 70 yards and a touchdown in the team's 31-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks. His score came on a two-yard fade route on Buffalo's first drive. The rookie's five receptions are a career-high. This was the second straight week Coleman earned seven targets. The second-round pick appears to be coming into his own, whether it's by adapting to the NFL game or the arrival of
Amari Cooper attracting defenses away. With back-to-back great stat lines, Coleman is moving from boom-or-bust bench piece into the weekly flex conversation.

5 days agoTampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback
Baker Mayfield showed up ready to play despite losing his top two wide receivers last week. Mayfield didn't miss a step as he completed 37-of-50 passing attempts for three touchdowns with two interceptions in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The 29-year-old now has thrown for over 300 yards in four of his last five games. The Bucs aren't going to have
Mike Evans (hamstring) or
Chris Godwin (ankle) for quite some time, but they've found a way to move the ball without them. He does head into a tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs next week. However, Mayfield has shown no signs of slowing down and is a must-start for fantasy managers.

5 days agoBuffalo Bills running back
James Cook rushed 17 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 31-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He also caught three passes for 22 yards. It was an all-around tremendous effort from Cook, who ran with great vision and agility and plowed through defenders. His scores came in the second half as the Bills played with a lead. Cook has a stranglehold on the Buffalo backfield, despite
Ray Davis' emergence in Week 6. Cook will be an RB1 next week against Miami. He scored three touchdowns against the Dolphins in Week 2.

5 days agoSan Francisco 49ers running back
Jordan Mason (shoulder) exited Sunday night's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in the second quarter with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return. He's racked up 18 yards on his six carries thus far. Mason looked to have injured himself earlier in the contest but was not brought into the blue medical tent for further evaluation. However, he was not out there for a 49ers series late in the first half and ultimately went to the locker room. For now, rookie running back
Isaac Guerendo will take over lead duties in San Francisco's backfield. Expect an update on Mason shortly.

5 days agoArizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray threw for over 300 yards for the first time this season in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Miami Dolphins. Murray's official stat line included 26 completions on 36 attempts for 307 yards and two touchdowns while adding 19 yards on the ground. He played his best game of the season so far and orchestrated a game-winning drive that set up
Chad Ryland to hit the walk-off field goal. While Murray didn't have as many designed runs in previous weeks, this was primarily due to the Dolphins' ability to stop the run and the Cardinals' shift to a pass-first offense, which should not concern fantasy managers. Murray remains a starting fantasy quarterback as the Cardinals take on the Bears in Week 9.

5 days agoBuffalo Bills quarterback
Josh Allen completed 24 of 34 pass attempts for 283 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the team's 31-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. He also added seven carries for 25 yards. Outside of his first interception of the season, Allen was in complete command of the offense. He led a 90-yard drive, capped by a two-yard touchdown reception by
Keon Coleman, on Buffalo's first possession and the Bills never relinquished the lead. Allen's second touchdown pass came on a 12-yard strike to tight end
Dalton Kincaid just before halftime. The 28-year-old was just inside QB1 range before Sunday and Monday Night Football. The Bills host the Miami Dolphins in Week 9.

5 days agoBaltimore Ravens wide receiver
Nelson Agholor found paydirt for the first time in the 29-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. He finished with three receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown on five targets. Agholor was tied for second-most targets with
Mark Andrews and
Rashod Bateman. He hauled in his touchdown pass at the end of the first half which put the Ravens up momentarily until a disastrous second half. Agholor's next chance to find the end zone will be in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos.
