Albert Wilson scores long touchdown against the Raiders.

Wilson, who returned after missing last week with a knee injury, caught a 63-yard touchdown on a pass deep down the middle that was tipped and went backwards to hit Wilson in stride as he ran to the end zone. It was Wilson’s only reception of the day, and he didn’t have any carries in the running game. He’s a solid contributor in real life for Kansas City, but Wilson is not a recommended fantasy option right now.

Kamar Aiken catches two passes in Week 6.

Aiken gained 21 yards on his two receptions. He’s not a recommended fantasy option at the moment because his role just isn’t big enough. Though he did still work as the team’s number three receiver even with Chester Rogers back after missing the first five games of the season with a hamstring injury.

Latavius Murray runs wild against the Ravens in Week 7.

This was the game the Vikings were looking for when they signed Murray in free agency in the offseason. The big, athletic back carried 18 times for 113 yards and a touchdown in the win over Baltimore, consistently gashing a defense that got nose tackle Brandon Williams back after missing four games. Murray broke a run of 35 yards in the game, and he later broke a 29-yard touchdown up the middle where he put a nice juke on a defender on the second level before getting in the end zone. The former Raider showed the kind of upside that made the Vikings want to sign him in free agency, and his carries have increased in each of the last five games. Minnesota is going with a hot-hand approach at running back, but they’d likely prefer to have Murray as the lead guy with Jerick McKinnon mixing in as an explosive guy behind him. They should both get a good amount of carries if things go according to plan for the Vikings, and they are both FLEX options against Cleveland next Sunday in London.

Jermaine Gresham catches one pass against the Rams.

Gresham gained 18 yards on his lone reception, and his fantasy value probably decreases without Carson Palmer (broken arm) in the lineup. There are probably better streaming options out there at TE.

Jameis Winston (shoulder) will start Sunday against the Bills.

Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter says his quarterback threw in practice today and will be under center versus the Bills. While dealing with a sprained AC joint in his right throwing shoulder, Winston will likely be at less than 100% but he’s made it clear throughout the week that he doesn’t plan on missing the game. You have to admire his toughness and willingness to be out there with his team, but we’ll have to see how he’s able to perform with the shoulder injury. Even if Winston was 100%, the Bills would be a good D/ST this week, so they might be a top-five option with Winston banged up.

Redskins running back Rob Kelly (ankle) will practice this week.

The Redskins don’t have an official practice on Thursday because the team plays on Monday night, but it sounds like Kelley will be back out there against the Eagles. We’ll update you on his practice status throughout the week.

Anthony Fasano scores in Week 7.

The three-yard touchdown came in the first half on a slant route with a pick by the goal line. Overall, Fasano had three receptions for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins’ win. Starter Julius Thomas probably had his best game of the season, but Fasano could steal his starting spot soon—Thomas has not been impressive this season. Still, Fasano is not a recommended fantasy option on Thursday night against Baltimore.
