Chris Moore handles two touches in loss to the Saints.

Moore caught a 14-yard pass and rushed once for nine yards. The 25-year-old isn’t a recommended fantasy option with just 12 touches through seven weeks.

Michael Gallup catches first career touchdown in Week 7.

The rookie receiver used a nice double move to get wide-open deep down the field for a 49-yard touchdown from Dak Prescott. Overall, Gallup had three receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Redskins. The third-rounder will look to have a more significant role on offense coming out of the Week 8 bye, but he’s difficult to trust in Week 9 fantasy lineups against the Titans. He’s worth a look as a pickup in deeper leagues.

Michael Crabtree sees a team-high nine targets in loss to the Saints.

Crabtree caught five passes for 66 yards, as he mostly did battle with reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year Marshon Lattimore. The veteran had an up-and-down start to the season, but he’s now clear 65 yards in each of the past three game, so he should be treated as a low-end WR2/FLEX option with a bunch of quality matchups the rest of the way. Next week, Crabtree will look to do damage against a beatable Carolina secondary.

Ezekiel Elliott can’t get much going in Cowboys’ loss.

The Redskins basically shut down Elliott, who had 15 carries for 33 yards and two receptions for nine yards in Dallas’ Week 7 loss. There simply wasn’t much room to run for the third-year running back. The Cowboys will attempt to get things sorted out during their bye before facing another tough defense (the Titans) on Monday night in Week 9.

John Brown goes off in 24-23 loss to the Saints.

Brown caught all seven of his targets for 134 yards, including the would-be game-tying touchdown reception from 14 yards away before Justin Tucker unfortunately missed the PAT with 28 second remaining. Still, “Smokey” was sensational, and he nearly had another score on a 56-yard catch-and-run over the middle before being tackled short of the goal line. Brown was a great buy-low candidate (or pickup if he was somehow available) before the week, but he looks like a weekly WR2 with a soft schedule down the stretch, including next Sunday in Carolina.

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys fall just short in Week 7.

Prescott led the Cowboys to ten fourth-quarter points in a tight NFC East matchup with the Redskins, but a game-tying field goal attempt hit the post, ending the game. Prescott was 22/35 for 273 yards and one touchdown along with six carries for 33 yards and one touchdown—and two lost fumbles—in the loss. Overall, the third-year quarterback again played well (especially considering the running game couldn’t get anything going), getting the ball out to his receivers and making plays with his legs—the touchdown was on a play he went airborne to get in for six. The passing touchdown was a 49-yarder to a wide open Michael Gallup after a double-move. The Cowboys now have a Week 8 bye before facing the Titans for a Monday night matchup.

Javorius Allen handles six touches in loss to the Saints.

Allen rushed three times for three yards, also adding three receptions for 21 yards. The USC product has combined for just ten touches over the past two weeks after it looked like the backfield might have been turning in his favor, so Allen is nothing more than a decent FLEX play in Week 8 against the Panthers.
