Join now >DeMarco Murray (hamstring) is active against the Browns.
Murray is suiting up again, but it’d be a surprise if he was 100% while dealing with the hamstring issue. Still, he should get a good amount of work for the Titans and is an RB2/FLEX option.

Christian McCaffrey leads Panthers in receiving as offense struggles in 17-3 win.
McCaffrey caught five passes for 49 yards and rushed four times for three yards against the Bucs. At the season’s midway point, the first-round pick is on pace for just 98 carries for 234 yards and no scores as a runner, but he’s also on pace for 98 receptions for 756 yards and four touchdowns. It’s difficult to imagine his efficiency not increasing, and perhaps the Panthers will commit to him as the workhorse if they can fix their blocking issues up front. Still, McCaffrey has been a disappointment for non-PPR owners so far. Those in PPR formats should keep him in lineups as an RB1/RB2 option against the Falcons.

Russell Wilson goes over 300 yards with three touchdowns in Seahawks’ win over the Giants.
Coming off the bye, Wilson had a very good game against a tough Giants defense, going 27/39 for 334 yards and three touchdowns while adding ten yards rushing on two carries. The offensive line of the Seahawks did a very good job in the game, as Wilson as only sacked one time and he appeared to have more time than usual. The touchdowns were a 32-yard deep ball over the middle to Doug Baldwin, a 38-yard deep ball to Paul Richardson off a flea flicker that was nearly intercepted but ruled joint possession and therefore a catch, and a pass at the goal line to Jimmy Graham against a smaller defender. Now the Texans come off a bye to face Seattle in Week 8, but Wilson remains a QB1 in that game.

Damien Williams catches one pass in Dolphins’ loss.
Williams was targeted twice, catching the one pass for -1 yards on a screen pass that looked like it could’ve gone for a touchdown, but Williams was either tripped up by someone or slipped as he was catching the ball. Williams is not a reliable fantasy option at the moment.

Rex Burkhead (ribs) was limited in today’s practice.
Burkhead has remained limited over the last few weeks, but he hasn’t been ready to go on game days yet. When he returns, he might have a chance for a good chunk of carries, as Mike Gillislee fumbles last game and was benched for a bit—and it’s unclear if New England would like to give Dion Lewis as many carries as they are giving him right now.

Mark Ingram scores but loses two fumbles in Week 8.
Ingram carried 18 times for 75 yards and a touchdown while also catching all six targets for 24 yards in a win over the Bears, but he did lose the two fumbles in the game. A Saints victory make the fumbles easier to get over, but Sean Payton and the team can’t be happy with their starter putting the ball on the ground like this. Still, Ingram knows he can’t put the ball on the ground like this, and it’d be a surprise if he wasn’t the lead guy for New Orleans next week when they face Tampa Bay. Keep him in your lineups as an excellent RB1/RB2.

Brett Hundley struggles as a passer in first career start.
Hundley was 12/25 for 87 yards and one interception, though he did rush three times for 44 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The Packers were up 14-7 at the half, but the Saints outscored them 19-3 the rest of the way. Green Bay at least has the bye week to get Hundley more comfortable in the offense, and we think he should be a lot better against the Lions on Monday Night Football in the first week of November.
