Jameis Winston, Myles Garrett provide tone-deaf defense of Deshaun Watson
Cleveland Browns players Myles Garrett and Jameis Winston came to the defense of teammate Deshaun Watson. And it was all wrong.OCTOBER 21
Bo Melton - Snap count slipsMelton had one reception for eight yards and one carry for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 24-22 victory over the Texans.
ImpactMelton's snap count was boosted in both Weeks 5 and 6 with four of his fellow receivers either dealing with injuries or sitting out altogether, but he was on the field for only eight offensive snaps Sunday with Green Bay's full complement of wideouts available. His role figures to remain limited if the options surrounding him stay the same.

Emanuel Wilson - Limited to five touchesWilson had five carries for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-22 victory over the Texans.
ImpactWilson had tallied at least seven touches in four straight appearances, but he finished with only five Sunday. Meanwhile, starting running back Josh Jacobs got the ball 17 times in Week 7 and averaged just shy of 20 touches over the last three weeks. Wilson cut into Jacobs' workload a bit earlier in the season, but the latter is now being counted on to do what was expected when he was brought in over the offseason.

Christian Watson - Quiet in victoryWatson had one reception for nine yards and one carry for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 24-22 victory over the Texans.
ImpactWatson was coming off his most productive game of the season, but quarterback Jordan Love focused elsewhere in Week 7, and Watson finished with just two targets and two touches. Inconsistency is a major issue for Watson's fantasy prospects, but he will have a plus matchup in Week 8 with the Packers facing a Jaguars defense that ranks near the bottom of the league when it comes to receptions, yards and touchdowns ceded to opposing wideouts.

Tucker Kraft - Tallies fourth touchdownKraft was targeted four times and caught three passes for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 victory over the Texans.
ImpactKraft was slowed by a groin injury last week, but he occupied his usual spot in the starting lineup Sunday and found the end zone for the fourth time in four weeks. Kraft will have a chance to keep the momentum going, as he and the Packers will next face a Jaguars defense that was as friendly to opposing tight ends as anyone over the last five weeks.
