Michael Crabtree caught three passes for 31 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Panthers.

Crabtree was targeted five times, as Baltimore struggled for most of the day in a 36-21 defeat. At the season’s midway point, the 31-year-old is on pace for 76 receptions, 880 yards, and four touchdowns, so hopefully he and Joe Flacco can get on the same page in scoring territory over the final eight games of the season. Crabtree is just a decent FLEX option next Sunday against Pittsburgh after being held to 29 scoreless yards against them in September.

Geronimo Allison catches one pass in Week 8.

Allison was back in the lineup after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury, and he gained 14 yards on his lone reception against the Rams. It’s unclear if Allison’s role wasn’t big because it was his first game back, but he might be behind rookie receivers Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown right now. It’s difficult to trust Allison next week against the Patriots despite the potential for offensive fireworks that he gets heavily involved in.

LeGarrette Blount gets four touches against the Seahawks.

Blount carried three times for three yards and added one reception (on one target) for 23 yards in the Week 8 loss. The Lions went away from the ground game, but the veteran running back appears clearly behind rookie Kerryon Johnson at the moment. Blount is difficult to trust in fantasy lineups as more than a touchdown-dependent FLEX option.

Josh Reynolds scores twice as the Rams remain unbeaten.

Reynolds caught three passes for 42 yards and two touchdowns, both of which came in the red zone. He also rushed once for negative-two yards. The second-year receiver will continue to be worth at least a look if Cooper Kupp (knee) misses another game, especially since Week 9 should be another shootout against the Saints.

Golden Tate gets eight touches against the Seahawks.

Tate had seven receptions (on a team-high 12 targets) for 50 yards and added one carry for three yards against his former team. The veteran receiver has had 50 yards or less in each of the last three games after a huge 132-yard, two-touchdown game in Week 5. He’ll next face a Vikings team that shut him down in two games last season (combined seven receptions for 36 yards), but Minnesota is banged up at corner.

Jimmy Graham catches one pass in Week 8.

Graham’s lone reception went for 21 yards on a catch early in the game that was initially ruled a touchdown, but it was overturned after it was deemed that the veteran tight end was down inside the one-yard line. Graham was quiet for the rest of the game, and he’ll look to have a bigger performance against the Patriots next Sunday night.

Willie Snead caught five passes for 54 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Ravens.

Snead lead the team in receptions, yards, and targets (11), but Baltimore simply couldn’t get going on the road. The slot receiver—who is on pace for a 76/780/2 line through eight games—also had two offensive pass interference penalties derail drives. Snead remains on the FLEX radar (particularly in PPR leagues), but he gets a tough draw next Sunday against standout nickel Mike Hilton.
