Case Keenum throws two touchdowns as the Vikings improve to 6-2.

Early in the game, Keenum had a pass tipped and intercepted, but he took it in stride and played very well after that against Cleveland, going 27/43 for 288 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The first touchdown was to a wide-open Adam Thielen in the back of the end zone for 18 yards, and the second was on a perfect throw to the back of the end zone to a tightly-covered Kyle Rudolph for four yards. He did miss a couple throws and appeared to have not seen a wide-open Stefon Diggs running free down the field on one play, but overall the Vikings have to be happy with how Keenum is playing in relief of Sam Bradford. Things will get interesting in Week 10 when the Vikings return from their bye, as Teddy Bridgewater might be ready to play, and maybe Sam Bradford will even be healthy from his knee injury.

Mike Wallace leaves game after taking a big hit.

On the first drive of the game for the Ravens, Wallace took a big hit over the middle and had his helmet taken off while fumbling on the play. He immediately received medical attention and is now in concussion protocol. The Ravens are incredibly thin at receiver now, as Jeremy Maclin (shoulder) and Breshad Perriman (concussion) were both inactive against Minnesota.

O.J. Howard caught two passes for 16 yards in Sunday’s loss to Carolina.

After a huge Week 7 game, many fantasy owners were jumping on the Howard bandwagon, but both of his scores came on busted coverages on the back end. He’s still clearly behind Cameron Brate and while he should have big games and plays, the rookie isn’t a recommended own in redraft leagues, as they will be difficult to predict. The 2-5 Bucs travel to New Orleans for Week 9.

Rob Kelley (ankle) is officially active for Monday night.

Kelley was listed as questionable, but this was the expectation from the start of the week. If you were waiting for tonight to set your lineup with guys in the game, you can insert Kelley into your lineup as a FLEX option. Expect him to get a good amount of carries in his first game back, though it’s possible rookie Samaje Perine and Chris Thompson eat into his touches a good amount.

Mike Williams drops his lone Week 7 target.

It was a third down slant that would have picked up the first, but it didn’t come back to hurt Los Angeles. Williams could be a bigger factor against New England in Week 8, but he’s just a bench stash right now.

Jay Cutler leaves game with chest injury.

Cutler, who’s been pressured all game by the Jets, took a bit hit in the third quarter in what looked like it could’ve been a left shoulder injury, but he appears to be getting evaluated in the rib area and it’s being called a chest injury. Matt Moore is now in the game as Cutler is heading to the locker room. Cutler was playing well, going 12/17 for 138 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception before leaving. The Dolphins are currently down 21-14.

Tyrod Taylor helps lead Bills to win and 5-2 record.

Taylor avoided turnovers against the Raiders, going 20/27 for 165 yards and a touchdown while also adding a one-yard touchdown on the ground. He avoided sacks and worked as a magician while scrambling a few times, and Taylor’s ability to keep plays alive while avoiding turnovers and negative plays is a big positive. The Bills face the Jets, who they beat in Week 1, next week. Taylor will be a streaming option in that game.
