Mack Hollins scores first career touchdown in Week 7.

The rookie from North Carolina got deep on a 64-yard bomb from Carson Wentz in the second quarter of the Eagles’ Monday night win. The ball was put down and scooped up by a fan, but Hollins went over to get it back from the fan that was nice enough to return it—the touchdown was Hollins’ first as a pro, after all. He is a very good dynasty league hold, but Hollins doesn’t have reliable fantasy value in standard leagues yet.

Carson Wentz puts up MVP performance on Monday Night Football.

The second-year quarterback had an excellent game against the Redskins to help get the Eagles to an NFL-best 6-1, going 17/25 for 268 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception, while also adding eight carries for a team-high 63 yards rushing. The first touchdown came a play after taking a sack and fumbling, as Wentz got a clean pocket and stepped up to hit Mack Hollins for a perfect 64-yard deep ball. Then he threw a touchdown to Zach Ertz on a short out route near the goal line. Wentz had a spectacular touchdown where he stepped up around chaos in the pocket and hit Corey Clement in a dime to the end zone for nine yards. And he also hit Nelson Agholor for a touchdown on a throw by the end zone, as Agholor was pretty much wide open on a seam route against a zone defense. Another highlight-reel play came on what looked like was a sack, but Wentz escaped and ran for 21 yards. Wentz currently leads the NFL with 17 touchdown passes on the team with the best record in the NFL, and his schedule doesn’t look difficult at all. With a matchup against the 0-6 49ers next week, Wentz will be an elite fantasy option.

Rob Gronkowski escorts Brandin Cooks to the end zone in Week 7 win.

Gronk caught three passes for 51 yards, but his most notable play came on a Brandin Cooks touchdown where he led the way while Cooks followed him into the end zone. It could have been a big night for Gronkowski if we had gotten the shootout we were hoping for, and he also had a huge gain taken away from a questionable call, but he should rebound in a big way against the Chargers next Sunday. He’s the top tight end option like always.

Dez Bryant has quiet Week 8 as Cowboys defeat Redskins.

Bryant led the team in catches and yards, but it was just four receptions for 39 yards, as Dallas relied on Ezekiel Elliott and the running game with rainy conditions all afternoon. Dez should be able to avoid Marcus Peters enough to be worth a spot in fantasy lineups as the Cowboys host the Chiefs next Sunday.

Michael Crabtree leads Raiders in receiving against the Bills.

Crabtree caught five of ten targets for 83 yards, including a long of 40 yards, in the Week 8 loss. He was targeted in the end zone early in the game by Derek Carr, but the pass had a little too much heat on it and was high. The veteran receiver is currently on pace for 66 receptions for 822 yards and 12 touchdowns. He should be right around double-digit touchdowns by the end of the season, and he’d do well to get up over 1,000 yards for a second-straight season.

Kyle Rudolph catches a touchdown in Vikings’ London win.

Rudolph caught six of seven targets for 27 yards and a touchdown against the Browns. The big tight end was a reliable target for Case Keenum, with his only incomplete target coming on a back-shoulder throw down the sideline that he couldn’t quite bring in. And the touchdown was on a nice high-point catch in the back of the end zone as Rudolph came down and got both feet in bounds. When the vikings come out of their Week 9 bye, they face the Redskins, who have not been good against tight ends this season.

Brandin Cooks scores in SNF win over the Falcons.

Cooks caught four passes for 65 yards, including a jet sweep touch pass from 11 yards out where Rob Gronkowski escorted him into the end zone. There were concerns about Atlanta limiting Cooks when he was a member of the Saints, but New England did a great job of getting the ball in his hands. The versatile deep threat could be shadowed by Casey Hayward next week against Los Angeles, but he needs to be in lineups as a WR1/WR2 anyway.
