The Los Angeles Chargers remain the only team in the National Football League without a win. The club finished the 2026 season at 0-8 after a bye week in Week 8. The team has lost every single game this year.
The Seattle Seahawks ended the Kansas City Chiefs' undefeated streak. Kenneth Walker III, known as K9, rushed 14 times for 36 yards against his former team. The Chiefs' offense managed only three points in the loss.
Walker recorded 9.7 fantasy points, his lowest output of the season. The San Francisco 49ers also lost their unbeaten status. They fell to the Atlanta Falcons in a game defined by turnovers.
San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy threw two interceptions. One occurred near the end of the game when the 49ers had a chance to win. The Falcons forced multiple turnovers, including fumbles on back-to-back plays. Michael Penix Jr. finished with 20.4 fantasy points, ranking eighth among quarterbacks.
Christian McCaffrey left the game and visited the medical tent. His status remains a concern for the 49ers. The Miami Dolphins ended their losing streak with a victory in Week 7.
Brock Bowers of the Las Vegas Raiders will face the New York Jets. Bowers has the second-most receiving yards among tight ends. He has played two fewer games than the leader, Trey McBride. The Jets have the third-best passing offense in the league.
New York defensive end David Bailey is listed as doubtful for the game. Bailey is the team's sack leader. Bowers averages 19.1 fantasy points per game. Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings will play at Detroit.
The Lions have the 31st-ranked passing defense, allowing 291.8 yards per game. Jefferson has had a slow start to the season. He will play against a depleted Detroit secondary.
Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions faces the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings at home. Goff has 14 touchdowns and zero interceptions this season. The Vikings have the best defense in the league under coordinator Brian Flores.
Minnesota has not allowed more than 1,000 passing yards to any opponent. The team averages 155 passing yards allowed per game. The Vikings have the highest turnover differential in the league with a plus-seven margin. Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts will play at Jacksonville.
The Jaguars have the best run defense in the league by yardage allowed. The Colts traded All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks. The trade leaves Taylor without his primary blocker. The Jaguars have recorded 11 sacks this season.
The Colts fired general manager Chris Ballard and traded DeForest Buckner to the 49ers. Taylor's production is expected to drop against the Jaguars run defense.
