  • Bateman (foot) and Andrews (knee) both played, but neither made it out of the first half. Bateman reinjured his foot, while Andrews hurt his shoulder after being listed as questionable with a knee injury.
    • The Ravens are more optimistic about Andrews than Bateman (see John Harbaugh's quotes below).
  • Likely led Baltimore skill-position players in snaps, routes, yards, air yards and fantasy points, replacing Andrews after the star TE was targeted five times on nine routes early in the game.
    • Likely found his preseason form, hauling in six of seven targets for 77 yards and a TD.
      • The Ravens have used him as the de facto No. 3 receiver for much of the year, going with two TEs rather than three WRs in some obvious passing situations. His role/usage could expand even if Andrews doesn't miss time or is only out for one game before Baltimore's Week 10 bye.
      • Prior to Thursday, the fourth-round rookie TE had caught only 10 of 18 targets for 104 yards, and his playing time had dropped three weeks in a row (all the way to 11% snap share in the run-heavy Week 7 win over Cleveland)
    • Robinson had season highs for catches, targets and yards, having previously failed to reach even 30 yards in a game. But he only ran a route on about half of pass plays, and historically has been targeted at a very low rate.

    • Julio got a carry and scored a late TD, but his route and target shares weren't encouraging, with Miller stealing a bunch of playing time.
  • Otton topped 80% snap share for a third time in the past four weeks.
    • He has been targeted at least five times in each of those games, though the Ravens held him to two catches for 15 yards Thursday night.
    • Cameron Brate (neck) was out again, and Ko Kieft and Kyle Rudolph still aren't playing much.
  • Evans has 15-219-0 on 26 targets the past two games.
  • Godwin has caught at least six passes in five straight games since returning from a two-week absence, including four outings with double-digit targets, but he's still searching for his first TD and first 100-yard game of the season.

    • Jeudy, meanwhile, made it five in a row with more than 50 yards, putting up 6-63-1 for his third TD of the year.
      • Jeudy has four straight games with seven or more targets, and now is just 17 yards shy of Sutton's total for the season.
  • Dulcich has run a route on more than three-fourths of QB dropbacks since his debut, and is now averaging 4.0 catches for 60.7 yards on 5.7 targets in three games. I'm skeptical still, but the usage/role has him in play as a fantasy starter even if you don't believe in the talent. And if you do believe in the talent.... 
  • The 71% snap share was a season high for Hamler, who still hasn't seen more than four targets in a game

  • Marvin has played 56% and 57% of snaps in two games since returning from a hamstring injury, and he took a goose egg in this one after 4-57-0 on eight targets the week before.
  • Zay is still slightly above 20% target share for the season, but his aDOT (7.8) is about half what it was for the Raiders (14.0) last year. To be fair, he didn't have much success on deep passes in Vegas; his strong finish was largely built on the type of short and intermediate throws he's been getting in Jacksonville this year.
    • Revenge game coming up in Week 9.

  • St. Brown handled a full workload for the first time since Week 3, going 7-69-0 on a team-high 10 targets.
  • Hockenson had a 50-yard gain and finished with 3-80-0 on four targets. He's now at 15.2 YPR on the strength of two huge plays, but his volume (6.2 targets per game) has been disappointing besides that game against Seattle where everyone else was injured and the Lions put up a ton of points anyway.

  • Malik Willis had 14 dropbacks - six completions, four incompletions (one INT), three sacks, one scramble.
  • Hooper lost some work to Okonkwo, the rookie. That's worth watching in deeper dynasty leagues, at least.

  • Dorsett replaced Nico Collins (groin), while Moore kept his usual role as the No. 3 receiver. Moore wasn't targeted, and Dorsett had six yards on five looks.
  • Cooks (4-73-0) and RB Dameon Pierce were the only ones to do anything. At TE, it was a three-way timeshare again, though they did all see multiple targets (nine total).
  • Cooks saw 22 targets the first two weeks but now has five straight games with no more than seven (and no fewer than five).
    • For the year, he's averaging 4.6 catches for 50.6 yards, down from 5.6 for 64.8 last year

  • Thomas returned from a three-week absence and wasn't targeted while splitting snaps/routes with Rogers, the undrafted rookie. Thomas probably will get more of that work, but Washington does seem to like Rogers a lot.
  • Samuel caught three of his season-low four targets for 50 yards, taking four carries for 29 yards to make up for the lack of receiving volume. 
    • Samuel has nine carries for 55 yards in Taylor Heinicke's two starts, after three in a row without any carries.
      • It's silly how Scott Turner got away from that, entirely, for three straight weeks.... after Samuel had eight carries for 51 yards and two TDs in Weeks 1-3. Are you trying to get fired, sir?
  • Sims did his usual thing as an injury replacement, running a bunch of routes without being targeted. Jahan Dotson (hamstring) and Dyami Brown (groin) both were inactive.

  • Sam Ehlinger completed 17 of 23 passes, plus two sacks and three scrambles (28 dropbacks total, compared to 25 designed runs)
  • Pittman had 7-53-0 on a team-high nine targets, with Pierce adding 3-65-0 on five and Campbell making the most of limited opportunities with 2-43-0 on two targets and a carry for 28 yards.
    • Pittman's aDOT for the year is 6.2, down from 9.8 last season. His catch rate is up a bit, from 68% to 73%, but his YPR is down from 12.3. to 10.4 and his YPT from 8.4 to 7.5.
    • He's averaging 10 targets per game, so it gets the job done apart from the lack of TDs (51-528-1)
  • Pierce has six straight games with three or more catches for 37 or more yards and at least 7.0 YPT. For the year, he has a 63.2% catch rate and 9.8 YPT.
    • Campbell is still getting more playing time, and now has three straight games with more than 50 total yards.
  • Still a three-way timeshare at TE.

  • Jefferson made his 2022 debut and rotated with Skowronek; the two combined for one target while Kupp and Robinson saw 19.
  • Robinson put up 5-54-0, after 5-63-1 in the previous game. Progress.
  • Higbee stayed in to block on nine of his 24 pass snaps, per PFF. He also had a crucial drop on what would've been a long gain and possibly a TD with the Rams down by one score late in the fourth quarter.... after which the broadcast showed him sulking on the sideline about 10 times... rough day, kid!
  • Higbee has stayed in to block on 24 pass snaps the past three games, after doing so only 12 times over the first four weeks.
  • Kupp got hurt in deep garbage time...

Chris Myarick46.9%719.4%14.5%13.2%2.8%114.3%010
  • Hudson easily had season highs for snap/route/target share in the first game with Daniel Bellinger (eye) inactive. 
    • Myarick probably would've played a bit more and Hudson a bit less if the Giants hadn't fallen behind (though it was a close game until the final five minutes).
  • Robinson was targeted only three times, but he matched his snap share (69%) from the previous week when he caught six passes before halftime (and none in the second half).
  • Slayton has played more than half the snaps in five straight games, averaging 3.2 catches for 46.4 yards on 4.8 targets
    • Slayton and Robinson are the best hope the Giants have, as Johnson still hasn't topped 35 yards despite starting four straight games.

  • Metcalf and Lockett both played a few less snaps than usual after being listed as questionable with injuries... and both ultimately scored TDs while topping 50 yards anyway.
    • Lockett lost a fumble and had a costly drop before finding redemption with a 33-yard, go-ahead TD in the fourth quarter.
  • Goodwin was third on the team in targets but continued to share snaps/routes with Eskridge.
    • The throws to Goodwin have been quite effective... 14-179-2 on 20 targets, 9.0 YPT, 9.1 aDOT.
    • Eskridge has only 7-58-0 on 11 targets, 5.3 YPT, 4.6 aDOT.

  • Allen Lazard (shoulder) was inactive, and Christian Watson played only six snaps after missing the previous two games with a hamstring injury.
  • Doubs put up 4-62-1, his second best yardage total of the season and first game since Week 4 with double-digit fantasy points.
    • The rookie has topped 80% snap share in six straight, and does have three TDs in that stretch to help make up for the poor yardage totals.
  • Toure saw a bit less playing time than he had the week before (35%) in his NFL Debut, but his one catch was a 37-yard TD.

  • Diggs has five games with 100-plus yards and at least one TD. Nobody else has more than five with 100-plus or a TD.
    • (And the Bills already had their bye)
  • McKenzie remains stuck around 50% snap and route shares, as has been the case all year, even with Jamison Crowder on IR.

  • Thomas and Irwin split the snaps that normally go to Chase, with the latter having a 3-1 target advantage and 27-0 yardage advantage.
  • Boyd took more than 80 percent of his snaps from the slot, per usual. No change there with Chase out.

  • Bryant was a complete dud sans David Njoku (ankle), finishing with zero targets and 44% route share.
    • Bryant stayed in to block on seven of his 18 pass snaps (41%).
  • The Browns used sixth lineman Michael Dunn on about 30% of their plays.
  • Cooper scored his fifth TD; he's never had more than eight in a season and may now reach that number before Deshaun Watson even plays... strange.
    • Cooper has five of the team's seven receiving TDs, though his target shares in the red zone (31.3%) and inside the 10-yard line (28.6%) aren't much different from his target share overall (27.3%).
      • Translation: some of the TDs that have been going to Cooper (and arguably Chubb) likely will find their way to other players in the second half of the year... though Watson's eventual presence could mean more scores to go around.
