The Washington Wizards begin a five-game road trip on Monday against the Trail Blazers, but center Dwight Howard (glute) did not travel with the team.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught four passes for 17 yards in Sunday's loss to the Texans. Westbrook was targeted just four times in this game, ranking just fifth on the team.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief led the team with 10 targets in Week 7 against the Texans, pulling down seven of them for 76 yards.

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller didn't make the big plays he's become known for, but he did bounce back after a pair of poor performances to turn in a six-catch, 68-yard day in Houston's Week 7 win over Jacksonville.
