KC Concepcion Jr. Erupts for 152 Scrimmage Yards in Week 7 Breakout
Cleveland Browns wide receiver KC Concepcion Jr. is a legitimate WR3/flex consideration heading into a Week 8 rematch against the Pittsburgh Steelers after delivering his first 100-yard receiving performance in Sunday's 27-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans, catching eight of 10 targets for 129 yards while adding 23 rushing yards on three carries. All eight receptions came before halftime, including gains of 21 and 32 yards on a second-quarter touchdown drive that helped Cleveland erase an early 14-0 deficit. Concepcion did not catch another pass after the break, although his 18-yard fourth-quarter run helped set up a go-ahead touchdown. He finished with 152 scrimmage yards and 23.2 PPR fantasy points after entering the game with just 186 receiving yards through six appearances. His previous single-game high was 64 yards against Pittsburgh in Week 4. Concepcion led Cleveland in targets and receiving yards, which backs the upgrade.

Isaiah Likely Posts Week 7 Dud With Just 12 Receiving Yards
New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely raised concern about his involvement in the passing attack with quarterback J.J. McCarthy under center, seeing his target volume plunge in Sunday's 27-21 overtime victory over the Houston Texans and catching just two of four targets for 12 yards without a touchdown. It was a dramatic reversal after Likely drew 36 targets over his previous three games, converting them into 24 receptions for 259 yards and three touchdowns. Both of his Week 7 catches came in the second half, and he finished with a disappointing 3.2 PPR fantasy points despite McCarthy throwing for 252 yards in his first start with New York. Malik Nabers commanded nine targets and finished with 111 receiving yards, while all four Giants touchdowns came on the ground. Likely's four targets represented his lowest total of the season. New York enters its Week 8 bye before visiting the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9.

Chase Brown Fails to Score TD in Win vs. Ravens
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had 11 carries for 39 yards in a 35-13 win against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7. Brown is splitting his workload with fellow back Samaje Perine, who had four carries for 16 yards and a touchdown on Sunday. The Ravens' potent defense pushed quarterback Joe Burrow to air the ball out in Week 7, which further cut into Brown's workload. Cincinnati faces a weak Tennessee Titans defense its next time out, which could boost Brown's production. However, his light workload is a warning that fantasy managers may need to look elsewhere, especially after he was a bust in Week 7.

Nico Collins Suffers Major Week 7 Fantasy Bust With Just Six Yards
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins remains the team's most established receiving threat despite turning in his worst performance of the season during Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the New York Giants, catching just two of five targets for six yards without a touchdown. He finished with only 2.6 PPR fantasy points, with both receptions coming on the same third-quarter possession for gains of two and four yards. The disastrous showing followed four consecutive appearances with at least 56 receiving yards, including a 118-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Houston managed just 153 passing yards despite playing into overtime, with C.J. Stroud throwing touchdowns to Marvin Harrison Jr. and Xavier Hutchinson. Tank Dell also made his return, contributing a 43-yard reception on his lone target. Sunday's lack of production was especially frustrating given Collins' recent success. The Texans have a Week 8 bye before visiting the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9.
