Samaje Perine of the Bengals is highlighted as a strong anytime touchdown bet for Week 8 against the Tennessee Titans, given his recent usage and potential goal-line role. The article also mentions Ollie Gordon of the Dolphins in the context of touchdown bets, and notes other players like Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, Mike Gesicki, Kyle Pitts, Tucker Kraft, Chase Brown, and Braelon Allen
Christian Watson left the Week 8 game with a chest injury and was taken to the hospital for tests, but has since cleared them and returned to the stadium. He had a strong first half with 6 catches for 100 yards before the injury. Matthew Golden and Tucker Kraft are expected to see increased targets with Watson potentially sidelined
The Packers have two turnovers and a missed extra point. They lead the Panthers 20-10 at halftime. Green Bay outgained Carolina 227 to 87 in the first half, with Jordan Love going 18-of-24 for 189 yards and two touchdowns. He threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to tight end Tucker Kraft and a 24-yard touchdown to wide receiver Matthew Golden. Packers wide receiver Christian Watson, who had six catches for 100 yards, was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation of a chest injury. He was injured on a 53-yard reception, with Panthers cornerback Will Lee injuring his hamstring on the same play. Lee needed a cart to get into the X-ray room. Josh Jacobs scored on a 1-yard touchdown run. The Packers would lead by more if Trey Smack hadn’t missed his first PAT try off the left upright, his eighth missed kick of the season. Green Bay also lost two fumbles. Packers wide receiver Coleman Owen fumbled the opening kickoff, and linebacker Nick Hampton recovered for the Panthers. Carolina gained only 8 yards in the drive before Ryan Fitzgerald kicked a 39-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead. Watson fumbled on an 8-yard reception, a fumble forced by safety Nick Scott and recovered by Bobby Okereke. The Panthers, though, didn’t take advantage of their second takeaway. Bryce Young has taken only two sacks, but the Packers have constantly pressured him and linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper intercepted Young. Young is 10-of-19 for 65 yards. Chuba Hubbard has 11 carries for 37 yards and a touchdown and five catches for 21 yards
The Packers stuck with kicker Trey Smack after his misses from 26 and 35 in a 20-17 loss to the Lions last week. It’s looking like a bad decision. The sixth-round rookie hit the left upright on a PAT try with 5:08 remaining in the first quarter, his third missed extra point of the season. He has now missed eight kicks. The Packers lead the Panthers 6-3. Packers wide receiver Coleman Owen fumbled the opening kickoff, and linebacker Nick Hampton recovered for the Panthers. Carolina gained only 8 yards in the drive before Ryan Fitzgerald kicked a 39-yard field goal. The Packers took the lead on their second possession, with Jordan Love hitting Tucker Kraft for a 12-yard score. They converted a third-and-11 on an incomplete pass from Love to Matthew Golden, when Panthers rookie Will Lee was called for pass interference. Love is 5-of-7 for 43 yards and a touchdown
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (foot, shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in practice for the second straight day on Tuesday, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky. It's too early to say for certain, but Golden appears to be at risk of being inactive for Green Bay's Week 8 matchup against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night. The 23-year-old has had a breakout season for the Packers to this point in 2026, recording 36 catches for 540 yards and three touchdowns on 69 targets across seven games. If Golden is unable to play against Carolina, Green Bay's passing game could become extremely condensed around wide receiver Christian Watson and tight end Tucker Kraft. Second-year wideout Savion Williams could be worth stashing off deep-league waiver wires as well
The Lions lead the Packers 10-7 at halftime, with key players performing well. The Packers have struggled with injuries, including Devonte Wyatt, Sean Rhyan, and Jacob Monk
Well, after two straight winning weeks, we came back down to Earth in Week 6. In two tight end props I liked, Tucker Kraft fell just short of hitting 40+ receiving yards, and Juwan Johnson laid a complete goose egg. The Patriots were up 10 late, but a Jets field goal meant New England didn't cover -7.5. While D'Andre Swift found the end zone to complete one leg of the parlay, Drake London didn't score. He now has the most receptions without a touchdown across the entire NFL . We did hit on the Texans ' money line over the Jaguars , so at least it wasn't a completely lost weekend, but it was a bad one for sure. Let's make amends! Somehow, the 4-2 Browns are only 1.5-point favorites at the 1-5 Titans . And how did the Titans get that win, you ask? Last week, the Colts completely melted down in every facet, including giving up a blocked punt for a touchdown and a 58-yard punt return. Indianapolis was cruising before that. The loss led to GM Chris Ballard being fired. I just don't see the Browns doing the same. Deshaun Watson has come back down to Earth after a hot start, but this is a really good defensive team facing one of the league's worst offenses. I'll confidently take Cleveland to get to 5-2 and continue what has been the most pleasantly surprising start in football. Daniel Jones has six interceptions in six games this year. Now he faces a ferocious Brian Flores defense that leads the NFL in pressure rate. Jones has a tendency to make poor decisions under pressure, and the Vikings have six interceptions this season, tied for the fifth-most in the league through six weeks, even though they've already had their bye. Here are Ashton Jeanty's rushing numbers from the last two games: That doesn't inspire a ton of confidence, even against a banged-up Rams defensive line. He also doesn't appear to inspire much confidence among his coaching staff. Jeanty's snap share has steadily declined this season. He was up around 80% Weeks 1-3, then down to 67% in Week 4, and then down again to the mid-50s last week. Mike Washington (43 yards) nearly doubled Jeanty's yardage total on one fewer carry last week, and he recorded a season-high 35% snap share. Even Dylan Laube has entered the fray in the past two weeks. Klint Kubiak notably split his backfield in Seattle last season, and it looks like it's trending that way in Las Vegas. Josh Jacobs is back after being removed from the commissioner's exempt list. While he is expected to suit up and play this week, I don't expect a huge workload or a ton of success for him. Remember, while Jacobs was on the exempt list (which he had been since the start of the regular season), he couldn't practice with the team, either. Should we really expect him to get a ton of touches? Furthermore, the Packers have been completely unable to run the ball. Yes, Jacobs should help that slightly, but the Packers are 28th in yards before contact per rush. Jacobs could help the yards after contact per rush (the Packers rank 32nd there), but in his first game back, I'm fading him putting up substantial numbers. This is a team that ran for just 57 yards on 26 carries against the Cowboys ' woeful defense last week. I could see Jacobs making an impact Sunday and maybe even scoring a touchdown, something he's still really good at. But big rushing numbers? I doubt it. I just cannot envision the Rams losing again. I know about all the Matthew Stafford problems. I know about all the injury issues. I just can't see it happening. They'll find a way. Corum, meanwhile, has had back-to-back games with a touchdown and at least 50 yards from scrimmage. He provides more explosiveness than Kyren Williams does, and with the Rams lacking explosives through the air (and Davante Adams being out), Sean McVay could turn to more Corum. With no Adams, the Rams will be in more 13 (one running back, three tight ends) personnel. In 13 personnel, Los Angeles has the third-highest yards per carry rate in the league, and when facing 13

The Packers have taken advantage of Cowboys mistakes throughout the first 30 minutes of Sunday’s matchup, building a 17-0 lead at halftime. Dak Prescott has thrown two interceptions while a couple of defensive pass interference penalties helped the Packers score a touchdown on a Jordan Love QB sneak toward the end of the second quarter. Green Bay started the game 7-of-7 on third down and finished the first half 9-of-10 in the category. Green Bay has 225 total yards, 15 first downs, and is averaging 5.8 yards per play. Love is 14-of-22 for 190 yards with a touchdown and an interception, plus two carries for 14 yards with a TD. Matthew Golden caught the first touchdown pass from Love, capping a 14-play, 90-yard opening drive for the Packers in the first quarter. Trey Smack added a 25-yard field goal midway through the second period. Golden leads with 71 yards on four catches while Christian Watson has two catches for 55 yards. Prescott is 11-of-15 for 86 yards with two picks — both of which came in Green Bay territory. On the first, safety Evan Williams stepped in front of a pass intended for CeeDee Lamb at the 3-yard line. On the second, Lamb slipped on the turf, which allowed the ball to go Brandon Cisse. Cowboys linebacker Dee Winters is questionable to return with an ankle injury. He had an interception in the first half. Returner KaVonte Turpin has been downgraded to out with a rib injury. Green Bay tight end Tucker Kraft also suffered an apparent leg injury late in the second quarter. The Packers will have a chance to double up, as they’ll receive the second-half kickoff
The Packers were tied with the Bucs before back-to-back scores in only 5:02 of clock time. They ended the half with a 58-yard Trey Smack field goal and opened the second half with an eight-play, 80-yard touchdown drive. The Packers lead the Bucs 17-7. Packers tight end Tucker Kraft scored on a 2-yard reception from Jordan Love with 10:32 remaining in the second quarter. Kraft has four catches for 32 yards, and Love is 13-of-18 for 98 yards and two touchdowns. Kaleb Johnson has six carries for 42 yards
Buccaneers undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels is making his first career start in place of the injured Baker Mayfield. It hasn’t been all bad, but his second interception has given the Packers a halftime lead. Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper picked off a Daniels’ pass intended for Kameron Johnson, and his 18-yard return set up Green Bay at the Tampa Bay 44 with 34 seconds remaining in the half. Packers rookie kicker Trey Smack made a 58-yard field goal on the final play of the half for a 10-7 halftime lead. The Packers took a 7-0 lead on a 16-play, 68-yard drive, with nine of the plays coming from the Tampa Bay 10 or inside the 10. They converted two fourth downs in those nine plays, including a 2-yard touchdown reception by Matthew Golden. The Bucs tied it on a nine-play, 64-yard scoring drive, with Sean Tucker scoring on a 2-yard run with 5:13 left in the half. The Bucs have outgained the Packers 141 to 116 yards, but Daniels’ two turnovers were killers. Safety Evan Williams had the first pick of Daniels. Jordan Love is 10-of-15 for 65 yards and a touchdown, with Tucker Kraft catching three passes for 30 yards. Daniels is 8-of-13 for 74 yards with two interceptions. He also has five rushes for 29 yards. The Packers lost defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt before the half, and he is questionable to return with an ankle injury
This article analyzes dynasty fantasy football player values for Week 4 of the 2026 season, offering buy, sell, and hold recommendations. It specifically details the struggles of tight end Tucker Kraft, noting his lackluster production despite a significant contract extension and high volume of targets for the Packers. The author suggests Kraft's slow start is due to recovering from an ACL tear and increased blocking assignments, but maintains he is not in danger of losing his starting role and advocates for holding him
Tyreek Hill is close to making his NFL return. The five-time, first-team All-Pro wide receiver went down in Week 4 of last season with a torn ACL and a dislocated knee in a 27-21 Miami Dolphins win over the New York Jets , and he's been grinding his way back toward full health ever since. The 32-year-old Super Bowl champion wideout tweeted on Monday that it's "almost time to get off the couch and get to work." On Wednesday, he teased the possible location or locations for his next NFL stop: somewhere cold. Hill tweeted that he is "ready for some cold weather" after spending the previous four NFL seasons in Miami. I think I’m ready for some cold weather He might be angling to become a Green Bay Packer because he made this post around the time the team announced starting slot wide receiver Jayden Reed (neck) will be out for the rest of the season . However, that post could also be a bat signal to other cold weather teams who could be in need of the man whose 28 touchdowns of 50 or more yards rank as the fourth-most in NFL history. So which cold weather team could land the 2010s All-Decade team wide receiver in the near future? Let's zoom in on five potential landing spots. Simply based on the timing of Hill's post, Green Bay sticks out as a clear choice. Hill wouldn't need to put on his Superman cape and immediately turn back the clock to his 2023 peak when he led the NFL in both receiving yards (1,799) and receiving touchdowns (13). Wide receiver Christian Watson ranks fifth in the entire NFL in receiving yards (284) and third in the league in receiving touchdowns (3). Wideout Matthew Golden , a 2025 first-round pick, is fresh off the best game of his career with 100 yards receiving and a touchdown on five catches in Week 3. Tight end Tucker Kraft looked like a future All-Pro prior to his midseason ACL injury a year ago, and he's moving better by the week in his return season from the devastating injury. Pairing Hill's deep ball abilities with quarterback Jordan Love's rocket launcher arm, those other playmakers and the team's revamped offensive line could reignite offensive fireworks at Lambeau Field. This is the most obvious one: a homecoming with three-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes and future Hall of Fame coach Andy Reid. Both sides need each other. Hill needs an NFL home, and the Chiefs are hurting for playmaking at the wide receiver position. At the age of 37, tight end Travis Kelce remains Kansas City's leader in targets (18, along with running back Kenneth Walker III ), catches (14), receiving yards (231) and receiving touchdowns (2, tied with Walker) through the first three weeks of the 2026 season. The Chiefs need more pass catchers who can take the load off of Kelce's shoulders, so he can make it to the playoffs as healthy as can be. Hill could help with that. Patriots 2025 NFL MVP runner-up quarterback Drake Maye desperately needs some help. Maye leads the NFL with seven turnovers this season with a league-high six interceptions in addition to a fumble lost. He looks lost out there with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels' scheme and his pass catchers without A.J. Brown on the field giving him almost no support. Maye joined Rex Grossman (2007) as the only two players in the last 20 years to have six-plus interceptions in the first three games after a Super Bowl start, per CBS Sports Research. After leading the NFL with a 0.28 EPA per dropback in 2025, he ranks 29th in the same metric at -0.21. That's the biggest September decline, first to 29th, this century, per CBS Sports Research. Maye made some sweet music with a peer of Hill's in Stefon Diggs last year en route to New England winning the AFC. Perhaps he could conjure up some of the same rhythm with Hill. Despite being 3-0 to start 2026, the Buffalo Bills ' offense needs more playmaking out of its pass catchers. Yes, the Bills won 24-16 against the Los Angeles Chargers (0-3) in Week 3, but they committed five turnovers with quarter

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has slightly altered his stance on the team's recent booing from fans, acknowledging the entertainment aspect of the business and expressing understanding for fan reactions after a poor performance. He emphasized his personal investment in the team and the city, stating he takes criticism personally
