A couple of major developments in the NFL this week will impact how teams will play offense going forward. On the positive side, the New Orleans Saints went back to QB Drew Brees, and he excelled in his first game back from a thumb injury. He reminded us of his passing skill with 373 yards and three passing touchdowns.  He will make the Saints an even more formidable opponent the rest of the way. QB Teddy Bridgewater did great to win five out of five games while Brees was rehabbing, but few players in league history have been able to throw the ball as well as Brees.

On the flip side, the Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos have decided to change things up at quarterback. Bengals QB Andy Dalton and Broncos QB Joe Flacco will hit the bench, and Bengals QB Ryan Finley and Broncos QB Brandon Allen will try to lead their teams back to respectability. Dalton was benched for poor play, Flacco was not playing well either and suffered a neck injury that could keep him out for five weeks. He probably would have been benched had he not been injured after calling out his coaching staff for their timid play calling.

All of those moves will impact target distribution, which affects fantasy scoring. Here is my look back at the target distribution for each of the 32 teams and how these developments and others will impact targets going forward. If you want to look at how all the players in the league fared when it comes to targets, make sure you check out Fantasy Pros’ Most Targeted Players.

Import your team to My Playbook for instant Lineup advice

Arizona Cardinals: I think that Arizona made some people forget how bad their roster is over the last three weeks when they beat the Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, and New York Giants. It was impressive they were able to win those three games, but those are also three of the worst teams in the league. The Saints were a measuring stick game on the road at New Orleans, and they dominated the Cardinals in all facets of the game, as Arizona lost 31-9. QB Kyler Murray was just 19 for 33 with 220 passing yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. WR Christian Kirk had a good day coming back from injury with 11 targets, eight receptions, and 79 yards. TE Charles Clay had an outlier game with three receptions for 88 yards. WR Larry Fitzgerald appears to have hit a wall, as he bottomed out with two receptions for eight yards on just four targets. They have a brutal matchup at home on Thursday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers. I would expect poor offensive numbers in that game as well. The Cardinals are not going to be a great offense against the better teams in the NFL. They are likely to be without both RB David Johnson and RB Chase Edmonds, which means that RB Kenyan Drake could have a role in this game coming over from Miami. It seems unlikely he has much of an impact against the 49ers defense that allows just 128.7 passing yards per game.

Atlanta Falcons: Things could have been worse for fantasy owners that were petrified to find out that QB Matt Ryan would not be starting this week and that they would need to rely on QB Matt Schaub to throw the ball to their fantasy players. Schaub only had one touchdown and one pick, but he also had 460 passing yards on 52 pass attempts. WR Julio Jones had 12 targets, 10 receptions, 152 yards, and no touchdowns. WR Calvin Ridley had seven targets, four receptions, 70 yards, and no touchdowns. TE Austin Hooper had seven targets, six receptions, 65 yards, and one touchdown. Those are not great games, but they are not disaster games either. A player to keep an eye on is WR Russell Gage. He benefited most from the Falcons’ decision to trade WR Mohamed Sanu to the Patriots. Gage had only four receptions for 44 yards on the season, but he ended up with nine targets, seven receptions, and 58 yards this week. I think some of that was a product of being down 24-0 at the half, but he definitely should be monitored. If he is going to be targeted nine times per game, he could have a more effective role when QB Matt Ryan returns. The Falcons have a bye week before they travel to New Orleans in Week 10.

Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens have the tough task of hosting a New England defense that has given up only two touchdowns, 19 picks, and allowed a 40.6 QB rating. That is an absurdly low quarterback rating allowed, and QB Lamar Jackson is lucky that he had the bye week to prepare for this juggernaut. The only two people in this matchup who I see as worth starting in fantasy are TE Mark Andrews and WR Marquise Brown, although neither are great plays against the league’s best wide receiver defense and second-best tight end defense. This could be a week where Jackson is too good to sit due to his mobility and rushing numbers, but nobody on the Ravens is good enough to trust against this historically strong defense.

Buffalo Bills: This is the same write up that I do every week for the Bills. WR John Brown led the way with eight targets, five receptions, 54 yards, and no touchdowns. WR Cole Beasley chipped in with seven targets, three receptions, 41 yards, and one touchdown. Nobody else had more than 35 yards receiving, and the other passing touchdown in the game went to RB Devin Singletary. This offense is just not good enough at passing the ball to support more than Brown and Beasley in the passing game, even against a very weak Washington DST at home in Week 9.

Carolina Panthers: Carolina could not do much right in the passing game, as QB Kyle Allen had only 158 yards passing, no passing touchdowns, and three picks. The 49ers have been extremely stingy in the passing game, giving up just 901 net passing yards and five passing touchdowns in seven games. This was typical of what we have seen in games where Carolina struggles to move the ball consistently. RB Christian McCaffrey has one of the highest floors in fantasy football, finishing with 117 yards rushing, 38 yards receiving, and one rushing touchdown. WR Curtis Samuel ended up as the leading receiver in the passing game with four receptions for 46 yards on 11 targets. They should fare better at home against the Tennessee Titans, but I think the same rule applies. McCaffrey is a safe star RB1 player, and everyone else is a boom or bust flex play in this McCaffrey-centered offense.

Chicago Bears: This constituted an offensive explosion for the Bears, as three players had pass plays that went for more than 30 yards. That does not seem like much, but when the team had only 14 such plays entering the game, it has to constitute a small offensive victory. The problem is that they still had only 253 yards passing and no passing touchdowns. WR Anthony Miller led the way in receiving yardage with three receptions for 67 yards, while WR Allen Robinson II led the way in targets with seven, turning those into five receptions for 62 yards. This offense is one of the least creative in the NFL this year, and they travel to play an Eagles secondary that has given up a lot of big plays in the passing game. I trust Robinson to have viable fantasy production, but anybody else is a desperation play. It is impossible to count on anyone with QB Mitchell Trubisky struggling to make the simplest of throws.

Cincinnati Bengals: QB Andy Dalton had 329 yards passing and one passing touchdown in a 24-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in London. They had four receivers with at least 65 yards receiving as WR Alex Erickson led the way with 97 yards, TE Tyler Eifert had 74 yards, WR Auden Tate had 65 yards, and WR Tyler Boyd had 65 yards. Unfortunately, the only touchdown went to RB Joe Mixon in this game, so none of those four players with decent yardage totals had a monster fantasy game. WR A.J. Green might be on track to play in that game, although he will not have QB Andy Dalton throwing him the ball in the foreseeable future. The Bengals are basically done this year after starting the season winless, and they will move on to rookie QB Ryan Finley. His insertion into the starting lineup could resurrect this offense, or it could be the final move in the race to the bottom this year. His issue will be trying to win games with the worst rushing offense in the league and one of the worst offensive lines in the league. That is what hampered Dalton, and that is what will continue to hamper the Bengals no matter who is behind center. The Bengals have a bye week before they host the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10.

Cleveland Browns: This offense is a train wreck right now, as QB Baker Mayfield managed only 194 yards passing, one passing touchdown, and one interception. While that came against the best defense in the league, the New England Patriots, the Browns struggle on offense against every NFL team. They managed to turn the ball over on three consecutive plays and dig themselves a 17-0 hole and still not top 200 yards passing. WR Jarvis Landry led the way with 10 targets, five receptions, and 65 yards. WR Odell Beckham chipped in with seven targets, five receptions, and 52 yards. TE Damien Harris had the only touchdown in the game, and nobody else had more than 30 yards receiving. Things will not be easier in Denver in Week 9. The Broncos have allowed only 19.9 fantasy points per game to fantasy wide receivers, which is second to only the New England Patriots at 19.7 fantasy points per game.

Dallas Cowboys: The Dallas Cowboys come off their bye week to face the New York Giants on the road, which should be good for WR Amari Cooper. He had six receptions for 106 yards and one touchdown against the Giants back in Week 1. He was not the leading receiver in that game, though, as WR Michael Gallup added seven receptions for 158 yards. WR Randall Cobb, TE Blake Jarwin, and TE Jason Witten all scored touchdowns. I think that Cooper and Gallup will be fantasy-viable players in this passing offense, but I do not know if I would go much further down the depth chart. A bye week may have been just what the Cowboys needed to reset their quest to win the NFC East, but I do not expect the passing offense to produce consistent fantasy-viable players other than Cooper and Gallup.

Denver Broncos: QB Joe Flacco threw his coaching staff under the bus for their “timid” play calling at the end of a road loss to the Indianapolis Colts. That resulted in him popping up with a neck injury and being ruled out for Week 9. It does actually look like a serious injury, as he could now miss up to five weeks. That gives us a glimpse at QB Brandon Allen, so expect more of the same conservative game plans with an inexperienced quarterback. One the one hand, Flacco is a former Super Bowl MVP that won 96 games in Baltimore. On the other hand, he has not been a good quarterback since 2014, and a big reason they are 2-6 is that he is not the game-changing player on offense that needs one at quarterback. The Broncos were 29th in points scored and 25th in yards gained heading into this game, and a lot of that falls on Flacco. WR Courtland Sutton led the way with three receptions for 72 yards, and no other player eclipsed 30 yards receiving. Sutton remains the only consistently viable wide receiver or tight end in this passing game. Nobody scored a touchdown in the passing game, and that could remain the same this week with a new quarterback against a tough Cleveland defense.

Detroit Lions: Few people doubted that WR Kenny Golladay would bounce back after having a rough game against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7, and he responded with six receptions on eight targets for 123 yards and two touchdowns. He is the best wide receiver in Detroit, and he is going to be their most consistent option. That said, there’s still the question of who exactly is their second wide receiver. WR Danny Amendola was their second receiver this week with eight targets, eight receptions, 95 yards, and no touchdowns. That follows his game last week with 11 targets, eight receptions, and 105 yards last week against the Vikings. WR Marvin Jones was not able to duplicate his four-touchdown game in Week 7, finishing with four receptions and 22 yards in Week 8. Golladay is the best of the three elite receivers, followed by Jones some weeks and Amendola other weeks. Amendola currently looks like the player on the upswing and the more consistent option, especially in PPR leagues. The Lions have a great matchup on the road against the Oakland Raiders in Week 9. All three could be fantasy-viable in Oakland this week in a matchup against the sixth-worst fantasy wide receiver defense in the NFL.

Green Bay Packers: The problem for the Packers’ wide receivers is that their most consistent receiver is also their most consistent running back. I think if you asked most people who had more receiving yards, Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey or Packers RB Aaron Jones, the answer most people would give is McCaffrey. Jones has 355 receiving yards to McCaffrey’s 343 yards receiving, although to be fair, Jones has an additional game played. Jones is developing into one of the best dual-threat backs in the league, but in a game where Rodgers had 305 yards passing and three passing touchdowns, Jones accounted for 159 yards and two touchdowns. RB Jamaal Williams scored the other touchdown, and WR Jake Kumerow led the way with 48 yards receiving for the receiving core. WR Davante Adams will emerge as this team’s best receiver when he is healthy and a great fantasy option, but for now Jones is dominating the offense both on the ground and through the air.

Houston Texans: The one thing that I would like to see out of this offense is more touchdowns for WR DeAndre Hopkins. He has 81 targets in eight games, so they are clearly looking to feed him the ball. He also has 60 receptions for 617 yards, but only three touchdowns. Two of those touchdowns came in the season opener, which means that his last 68 targets have resulted in 52 receptions but only one touchdown reception. He has picked up the pace since the Texans lost WR Will Fuller V for multiple weeks due to a hamstring injury. He has posted his first back-to-back 100-yard games of the season in Week 7 and Week 8. No other receiver eclipsed 60 yards receiving, but TE Darren Fells managed to score two touchdowns, and RB Duke Johnson scored the other touchdown. WR Kenny Stills only managed five targets, three receptions, and 22 yards. This passing game has a lot of Hopkins and not much else in terms of consistent production. The Texans travel to Jacksonville to take on a tough Jaguars team in Jacksonville in Week 9.

Indianapolis Colts: The Colts are one of those teams that are a good NFL team and a terrible fantasy one. There is nothing wrong with leaning on the running game for 31 carries, 127 yards, and one rushing touchdown. There is nothing wrong with passing the ball only 25 times for 202 yards. There is nothing wrong with being a ground and pound team. Unless you are a fantasy owner, and then it is infuriating that WR T.Y. Hilton had only six targets, two receptions, and 54 yards. It is infuriating that TE Eric Ebron had just four targets, three receptions, and 26 yards. TE Jack Doyle led the Colts in receiving with just four receptions for 61 yards. The Colts do not care about your fantasy team; they care about having won five of their first seven games this season. Because of this, their passing game carries a very low fantasy floor, and even their best players can be very unreliable in games when they take the ball out of the air. The Colts have a tough road game against a good Pittsburgh defense in Week 9, so I would not expect an explosion through the air this week.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Jacksonville continues to shine with QB Gardner Minshew II under center. He had 279 yards and three touchdowns against a bad Jets defense, and WR D.J. Chark led the team in targets with 12. That led to six receptions for 79 yards and one touchdown. Also, WR Chris Conley had seven targets, four receptions, 103 yards, and one touchdown. This is Conley’s second game over 80-yards receiving, and he has a chance to be fantasy-viable with 14 targets in his last two games. No other wide receiver or tight end had more than two targets, and WR Dede Westbrook left the game with a shoulder and neck injury. If he misses more time, Conley could have some fantasy value in Week 9 on a team that has been passing the ball well in recent weeks. They face a Houston Texans defense that will be without their star player, DE J.J. Watt, for the rest of the season.

Kansas City Chiefs: QB Matt Moore was not the disaster that some people predicted when it was announced he would start this game for an injured Patrick Mahomes II. Moore had 267 yards and two passing touchdowns on Sunday Night Football against a tough Packers defense. WR Tyreek Hill led the team with nine targets, six receptions, and 76 yards. TE Travis Kelce added eight targets, four receptions, 63 yards, and one touchdown. WR Mecole Hardman had two receptions for 55 yards and one touchdown. Finally, WR Sammy Watkins had eight targets, five receptions, and 45 yards. Things will improve for the entire offense when Mahomes returns, which could happen this week, but it will probably happen in Week 10 instead. I think what has become clear is that WR Demarcus Robinson has taken a back seat in this offense, and the player with more upside as the third wide receiver is Hardman. Hill, Kelce, and Watkins will continue to dominate the targets, and the Chiefs offense will reemerge as one of the best in the league when their MVP returns to the lineup.

Los Angeles Chargers: The Chargers took the exciting step of reorganizing the furniture on the deck of the Titanic by firing offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt. I do not view this move as meaning a lot in the whole scheme of things, because the Chargers’ problem is that their offensive line is ranked 29th by Pro Football Focus. No matter who is calling the plays, the elephant in the room is their offensive line that cannot stop the pass rush or help balance out the offense with good run blocking. That is not a recipe for success against the Green Bay Packers at home this week. WR Keenan Allen dominated the targets again with 10 in Week 8, but he turned those into only seven receptions for 53 yards. WR Mike Williams led the team in yardage with three catches for 69 yards, while RB Austin Ekeler scored their only receiving touchdowns. That was a very underwhelming week in what has been an underwhelming season for the Chargers. A team loaded with offensive talent is 23rd in points scored and 17th in yards gained, which explains the change in offensive coordinator with eight games left in the season. Unfortunately, it probably is not going to matter with that horrible offensive line in place.

Los Angeles Rams: A person to keep an eye on heading into the bye week is WR Brandin Cooks. He had his second concussion in a month, and he will see a concussion specialist during the bye week. WR Cooper Kupp continued to be the star of this passing game with 10 targets, seven receptions, 220 yards, and one touchdown. He is among the best wide receivers in the league this year, and he is a big reason this passing game has succeeded. A bit of a surprise was that WR Josh Reynolds had eight targets, three receptions, 73 yards, and one touchdown. That came at the expense of WR Robert Woods and TE Gerald Everett. Woods had only two targets, two receptions, and 36 yards. Everett had two receptions on three targets for 15 yards. I would not necessarily chase Reynolds, although he would have value if Cooks were to miss significant time. The Rams will play at the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10 after their Week 9 bye.

Miami Dolphins: Miami started the game fast with two quick touchdowns in the first quarter, but WR Albert Wilson finished with one reception for five yards and one touchdown, and WR Allen Hurns also had one reception for 12 yards and one touchdown. That prevented their two better fantasy players, WR Preston Williams and WR Devante Parker, from having larger fantasy impacts. Parker had eight targets, six receptions, and 59 yards. Williams had seven targets, four receptions, and 42 yards. This offense does have a nice matchup against the New York Jets at home, but they have still only broken the 20-point mark once on the season. Their fantasy production is always volatile, evidenced by the 16 points that they scored at home against a great Washington matchup back in Week 6. Even the best matchups can yield very little fantasy production from the Dolphins.

Minnesota Vikings: The Vikings’ offense took a step back on Thursday Night Football, but they were without WR Adam Thielen, and they were playing the offensively challenged Washington Redskins. They played it conservatively and ran the ball 38 times, opting to pass only 26 times. WR Stefon Diggs led the way with seven receptions for 143 yards, and RB Dalvin Cook had five receptions for 73 yards. Nobody scored a touchdown, and nobody else had more than 30 yards receiving. WR Adam Thielen should be back this week, and even if he is not, the only players that have a high enough ceiling and floor to play in fantasy continue to be Cooks, Thielen, and Diggs. They have a road game against a Kansas City team that will probably be without Mahomes. If Moore plays as well as he did in Week 8, the Vikings will have to open up the offense a bit more this week. If Moore struggles, that could take the air out of the Minnesota offense for a second straight week.

New England Patriots: The Patriots were up 17-0 in the blink of an eye, thanks to three straight plays that resulted in turnovers for the Cleveland Browns. They never really had to stretch the field, and they ended up passing the ball 36 times to 27 rushing attempts, tallying 259 passing yards passing and two passing touchdowns. WR Julian Edelman led the way with 11 targets, eight receptions, 78 yards, and both touchdowns. RB James White added four receptions for 75 yards, although 59 of those 75 yards were on one catch. Nobody else had more than 45 yards receiving. They face a tough Baltimore team coming off their bye week. WR Mohamed Sanu did have a role with five targets, two receptions, and 23 yards in his Patriots debut. He is someone that could steal targets from White, who had only five targets in this game as well.

New Orleans Saints: There were some people who thought that the Saints were bringing back QB Drew Brees a little early from his thumb injury, especially with the team having a bye next week. But Brees was definitely ready to play in Week 8. He went 34 for 43 with 373 yards passing, three passing touchdowns, one pick, and a QB rating of 116.4. WR Michael Thomas was his favorite target with 11 targets, 11 receptions, 112 yards, and one touchdown. RB Latavius Murray also earned a lot of targets with RB Alvin Kamara out for Week 8. Murray had 12 targets, nine receptions, 55 yards, and one touchdown. Even backup QB Taysom Hill had some fun in this game with three receptions for 63 yards and one touchdown. The Saints have a bye this week, and they should be ready to roll at full strength in Week 10 at home against the Atlanta Falcons. Their passing game should be back to being one of the league’s best with Brees under center.

New York Giants: WR Golden Tate and RB Saquon Barkley dominated the targets with Tate seeing 10 looks, eight receptions, 85 yards, and no touchdowns. Barkley chipped in with 10 targets, eight receptions, 79 yards, and one touchdown. TE Evan Engram had seven targets, four receptions, 40 yards, and one touchdown. It was refreshing to see the star players in the offense put up solid fantasy numbers. The dilemma is WR Darius Slayton. He had five targets and two receptions, but they went for 50 yards and two receiving touchdowns. He had not scored a touchdown in his last two games, and he has tallied fewer than 35 yards in three of his last four games. He is probably more than a player to monitor at this point, and I do not know if his floor is high enough to trust him in most leagues. He has a tough matchup against the Dallas Cowboys this week.

New York Jets: TE Ryan Griffin was the star of the Jets’ passing game, as he earned four receptions for 66 yards and two touchdowns. WR Demaryius Thomas was the only other Jet that topped 50 receiving yards. It is tough to chase Griffin when he had nine receptions for 46 yards and one touchdown entering this game and TE Chris Herndon is close to returning. It is also tough to trust an offense that has scored only 15 points in the last two games. This offense continues to be anemic under QB Sam Darnold, but they have a great matchup against the worst team in the league, the Miami Dolphins. You can roll the dice with players like WR Robby Anderson and WR Jamison Crowder in this matchup, but Darnold’s up-and-down play gives them both a very low floor.

Oakland Raiders: Raiders QB Derek Carr had 285 yards and three passing touchdowns, but TE Darren Waller had a minor role with just two receptions for 11 yards and one touchdown. Instead, the wide receivers dominated this week. WR Tyrell Williams finished with three receptions for 91 yards and a touchdown, and WR Hunter Renfrow had a surprise game with four receptions for 88 yards and one touchdown. There should be some good passing numbers again this week with the Detroit Lions coming to town. Renfrow has not been consistent enough to warrant weekly starting status, but the Lions are 24th against fantasy wide receivers. You could roll the dice that Renfrow’s big game is the start of him becoming the other wide receiver in this offense and that he duplicates that performance in a favorable matchup. The problem is that Waller’s poor game is probably an outlier, and there may not be enough passing in this offense to support three fantasy-viable players in the same week.

Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles had their running game working in the Buffalo elements, which grounded their passing game on a windy day. They ran the ball 41 times for 218 yards, and they passed the ball for only 153 yards and one touchdown. TE Dallas Goedert had the only receiving touchdown, and WR Alshon Jeffery led the way with four receptions for 64 yards. TE Zach Ertz continued to underwhelm with two receptions for just 20 yards. It is a tough game to judge with the wind being the way it was in Buffalo, but this is not a new development. This Eagles’ passing game ranks 21st in the NFL in net passing yards gained, and a windy day in Buffalo is not the only reason for that anemic production this season. They have had some injuries, and while maybe the offense will rebound in the second half of the season, things will not be easier this week at home against the Chicago Bears’ defense.

Pittsburgh Steelers: The Steelers looked like they were sleepwalking on Monday Night Football, as they trailed 14-0 at home in the first quarter to a horrible Dolphins team. That said, they settled down and took the victory 27-14, and their passing game had some nice fantasy production after their poor start. WR JuJu Smith-Schuster had nine targets, five receptions, 103 yards, and one touchdown. WR Diontae Johnson chipped in with five receptions for 84 yards and one touchdown. Nobody else in the passing game had more than 25 yards receiving. The Colts are 16th against fantasy wide receivers, and they have a tendency to take the air out of the ball. Smith-Schuster will probably be a high-end WR2 this week, Johnson will be a boom-or-bust WR4, and nobody else is worth playing in a game that could see both teams struggle to score 20 points.

San Francisco 49ers: I think this game sums up the problems with the 49ers’ passing game in fantasy football. The 49ers offense clicked on all cylinders on Sunday. They scored 51 points, which was their most points in a game since 1993. That year they beat the Detroit Lions 55-17 with QB Steve Young posting 354 passing yards and four passing touchdowns in that contest. Compare that to QB Jimmy Garoppolo and his 175 yards passing and two passing touchdowns. They had 38 rushing attempts for 232 yards and five rushing touchdowns in this 2019 offensive explosion. TE George Kittle led the way in the passing game with seven targets, six receptions, and 86 yards. Nobody else had more than 25 yards receiving, while WR Emanuel Sanders and RB Tevin Coleman tallied the touchdown receptions. If this is the passing production in a game where they score 51 points, there is not much hope that this offense is going to produce many fantasy points in the passing game this year. The 49ers are a throwback to running the ball and playing defense in an NFL that often features video game passing numbers.

Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks did not need to throw the ball much in this game with a 24-0 halftime lead. They scored only three points in the second half to hang onto a 27-20 win at Atlanta. QB Russell Wilson was just 14 of 20 for 182 yards, two touchdowns, and no picks. WR Tyler Lockett led the way with six receptions for 100 yards, and no other player had more than 25 yards receiving. WR DK Metcalf caught just three passes for 13 yards, but he salvaged his fantasy day by scoring both receiving touchdowns. Other than Lockett and Metcalf, there was not much happening in this passing game. The Seahawks host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10. There could be more going on in the passing game at home against one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: QB Jameis Winston continued to frustrate the Tampa Bay franchise with his propensity for turnovers. He did have 301 yards passing and two passing touchdowns, but he also threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles. WR Mike Evans had a monster game with 11 receptions for 192 yards and two touchdowns. WR Chris Godwin was quiet with four receptions for 43 yards and no touchdowns. It was a frustrating game that saw the Buccaneers leave a lot of points on the field. Other than Evans and Godwin, it is hard to trust anyone else in this offense. They travel to Seattle to take on a tough Seahawks team.

Tennessee Titans: QB Ryan Tannehill only had 193 yards passing, but he protected the ball and had three touchdown passes to no interceptions. TE Jonnu Smith had a very good game with seven targets, six receptions, 78 yards, and one touchdown. He has emerged as a legitimate fantasy option filling in for TE Delanie Walker, and he could continue to have fantasy value for the rest of the season. WR Tajae Sharpe and WR A.J. Brown also added touchdowns. It was a relatively quiet day for everyone else, but this team has made a turn passing the ball with Tannehill under center. They travel to the Carolina Panthers in Week 9 with a chance to build on two solid games of passing offense.

Washington Redskins: This passing offense has absolutely been neutered since head coach Jay Gruden was fired. They threw for only 130 yards on Thursday Night Football, and WR Terry McLaurin has slowed down with just five receptions for 50 yards in his last two games. There is nobody worth owning in this offense at this point other than McLaurin in the passing game and RB Adrian Peterson in the running game. They travel to Buffalo to face the Bills’ tough defense, so I would not expect a lot in the passing game in this game either. McLaurin is a boom-or-bust WR3, and the rest of their passing options are not viable in fantasy football.
