Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams rushed 17 times for 44 yards in the team's 28-14 victory over the Carolina Panthers. The fourth-year back added eight yards through the air on 4-of-4 receiving. It's a massive letdown for fantasy managers, as Denver controlled most of this game. However, rookie quarterback Bo Nix stole the show -- totaling four TDs (three passing, one rushing) in the lopsided affair. Still, it's a disappointing outing, as Carolina was one of the worst rush defenses in the league heading into the contest. More so, considering teammate Jaleel McLaughlin totaled three more yards on nine fewer carries. Better days are ahead for the former North Carolina Tarheel, though next week may not be one of them. Williams and the Broncos will square off against a stout Ravens defense in Week 9 that allowed the fewest rushing yards per attempt (3.3) to opposing offenses heading into Week 8.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman caught seven of his nine targets for 99 yards and two touchdowns in a 29-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. Tillman turned in his second strong outing in a row since the trade of Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills ahead of Week 7. The second-year wideout's second touchdown was the game-winner as he got wide open behind the Baltimore defense and hauled in a 38-yard score from Jameis Winston to give the Browns a 29-24 lead with 1:04 left in the fourth quarter. Tillman is quickly becoming a solid WR2 in fantasy and should be in all starting lineups heading into Week 9's matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
