Derrick Henry held in check as Tennessee offense struggles.

Henry rushed 13 times for just 13 yards, adding two catches for 11 yards. DeMarco Murray (hamstring) was active and got the start, handling 21 touches, so Henry operated as the backup against an underrated Cleveland run defense. Murray is only going to be healthier when the Titans return from their Week 8 bye, so Henry will be a volatile FLEX option against Baltimore in Week 9.

The Colts officially placed Robert Turbin (arm) on IR.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported this was expected, and now it’s official. It’s possible Turbin could be brought back as a designated to return player, but his 2017 season is likely over. Turbin is under contract with the Colts in 2018 and should be back with them.

DeVante Parker (ankle) is inactive against the Ravens.

Parker was doing things in warmups, but the team is opting to hold him out and have him 100% when they emerge from their mini bye week to play in Week 9. Remember, the Dolphins have no real bye week left after they had to move it to Week 1 because of Hurriance Irma, so while Parker is dealing with what’s believed to be a high-ankle sprain, it’s probably best to get him back to full health so the injury doesn’t nag him all year. Expect the third-year receiver to be ready to go in Week 9 against Oakland.

Amari Cooper goes over 200 yards in Raiders’ win.

After a very slow start to the season for Cooper’s standards, the third-year receiver went nuts against Kansas City, catching 11 of 19 targets for 210 yards and two touchdown in the Thursday night victory. The Raiders appeared to make it a point to get Cooper involved early to build his confidence, and his 19 targets were 12 more than anyone else on the Raiders. The first touchdown was on a flea flicker that Cooper went up for and got both feet down before stretching the ball over the pylon for the score. And the second touchdown was on a crossing route that Cooper was wide open on and zoomed down the sideline past the defense for a 45-yarder. As crazy as it sounds, Cooper had a chance for an even bigger game than this. There were a couple passes he could’ve caught (though some weren’t easy catches), and he was interfered with by Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters on another deep shot toward the end zone. Those that stayed loyal to Cooper and kept him in lineups were certainly rewarded, as this might be the best performance of the week. His 210 yards were more than he had all season, and Cooper is back as a must-start on most fantasy rosters.

Michael Crabtree scores game-winner against the Chiefs.

In a game with one of the craziest endings you’ll see and included three defensive penalties that kept giving the Raiders chances, Crabtree caught a game-winner on a mini comeback type of route in the end zone—and it looked like Crabtree might’ve gotten away with a push off there too, but maybe they didn’t want to call yet another penalty. A few plays earlier, Crabtree caught a fade in the end zone over Marcus Peters, but he was called for pass interference. Overall, the veteran receiver caught three of seven targets for 24 yards and the game-winning touchdown, so the score saved his fantasy day. He’ll attempt to connect with Carr more often in Week 8 against the Bills.

Delanie Walker gets five touches in Week 6.

Walker couldn’t get much going against the Colts, catching four of eight targets for only 17 yards in the Titans’ win. Walker also received a carry on a jet sweep by the goal line, but it just wasn’t there and went for -3 yards. The veteran tight end should bounce back against the Browns in Week 7.

Jarius Wright leads Vikings in Week 7 receiving.

Wright caught three of four targets for 54 yards, including a long of 30 yards, in the win over Baltimore. With Stefon Diggs (groin) and Michael Floyd (hamstring) inactive, Wright stepped up and made a solid impact for his team. He’s not a recommended fantasy option, but Wright is a valuable player to the Vikings in real life.
