Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner is not a Week 8 option, with his return uncertain. Asked Monday whether Conner would play this season, head coach Mike LaFleur answered "potentially," offering little support for an imminent comeback. Arizona's backfield has moved on without the veteran, who has not played in 2026 while recovering from the […]

Much has been made of the return of Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee), who tore his ACL during his team's playoff run late last postseason. He had surgery to repair the damage and has been recovering ever since. The Seahawks spent a late first-round pick on running back Jadarian Price (chest), who showed […]

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren has been one of the most consistent fantasy players at his position this year. He's been a reliable fantasy producer who fantasy managers have hung their hat on in a barren tight end landscape. However, Warren has missed back-to-back weeks with a groin injury. News broke Sunday morning that […]

Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore was one of the biggest offseason acquisitions by teams looking to make a playoff run. The Bills acquired Moore in a trade from the Bears, hoping he would be a new No. 1 target for Josh Allen. Moore has flashed huge potential when available, but has been limited by […]

Rashee Rice can't return soon enough for the Kansas City Chiefs, whose passing game stalled in Seattle. The wide receiver missed Sunday's 20-3 loss with a hamstring injury, leaving fantasy managers waiting another week. Rice has not been cleared for Kansas City's Week 8 visit to the Denver Broncos on November 1, and his latest […]

Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) is the starting running back for the Washington Commanders this season, if depth chart and workload have anything to say about it. Through five games before he suffered an injury, he averaged just under 9.0 PPR fantasy points per game. That's not enough for him to be in […]

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is now on his second injury stint away from football as he recovers from a hamstring injury. Hamstring issues have bothered Smith many times throughout his career. It's unclear whether he keeps injuring the same one and aggravating the same injury, though that's often the case. It's looking […]

The success of the running backs in fantasy football in 2025 pushed the position up draft boards in 2026. Fantasy managers who were hoping to go with a “Hero RB” approach were forced to take a chance on a running back in the first four rounds. One player that gained steam throughout the summer was […]

Zach Charbonnet had a career-best season for the Seattle Seahawks in 2025. The third-year running back formed a potent 1-2 punch with veteran Kenneth Walker III to elevate the Seattle rushing attack and open up opportunities for Sam Darnold in the play-action game. Charbonnet had arguably taken over the lead role in the backfield heading […]

The Los Angeles Rams were widely considered the Super Bowl favorite after trading for defensive upgrades at edge rusher (Myles Garrett) and cornerback (Trent McDuffie) and coaxing Aaron Donald out of retirement. The expectation was that those moves, combined with the return of Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, and Davante Adams on offense, would create a […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (Achilles) wasn't able to play in Week 7 due to an Achilles injury. He didn't tear the Achilles tendon, fortunately, but he is dealing with tendonitis, which is often painful inflammation of the tendon. This tends to be an overuse injury and is the same issue that caused […]

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quadriceps) has now missed four full games of NFL action due to a quad injury he suffered in Week 3. Hall appeared to be the clear lead running back for his team before the injury. In his absence, RB Braelon Allen, his backup, has performed well. So when […]

We have several more injuries and byes to navigate ahead of the eighth week of the fantasy football season, and with the waiver wire thinning out, it's getting tough to identify who is worth picking up. We're here to help guide your Week 8 decisions with our RotoBaller Staff waiver wire picks, including Dylan Sampson, […]

Hunter Henry is just getting started, and if you’re still sleeping on the Patriots tight end, Week 8 might be the week that wakes you up. Four straight games with double-digit fantasy production, a growing connection with Drake Maye, and a Dolphins defense that struggles against tight ends? That’s the kind of matchup fantasy managers […]

Zay Flowers isn’t just a must-start wide receiver anymore. He’s making a legitimate run at the overall WR1 spot in fantasy football, and I’m not sure any matchup or quarterback situation can slow him down. The volume is elite, the big-play ability is undeniable, and with Lamar Jackson back, the ceiling could be absolutely ridiculous. […]

Jadarian Price is not expected to miss the rest of the 2026 season. Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that the rookie will return to practice ahead of Week 8 after four games out with a chest injury. Don't count on Price against the Chicago Bears on Monday, November 2, even though he […]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (heel) is currently on injured reserve due to a heel injury he suffered in Week 2. It was the result of him working his way back too quickly from an offseason ankle surgery. He rushed back to practice and play despite not being fully healthy. He was placed on […]

De'Zhaun Stribling is not ruled out for the season. San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he still hopes the rookie wide receiver can return in December after ankle surgery. Stribling has little immediate redraft appeal, though he has a chance to contribute late in 2026. San Francisco is on its Week […]

Hey RotoBallers! Another slate of NFL action is behind us, which means it's almost time to start setting our lineups for the upcoming Week 8 slate. With some teams off the board on bye and injuries piling up, managers may be forced to dig deeper to fill their lineups. Below, we'll look at some potential […]

Bucky Irving is proving that his recent fantasy football production is no fluke, and I’m buying into the role just as much as the results. After back-to-back explosive performances, Irving has established himself as a legitimate top-12 running back, and his consistent workload suggests there’s plenty more to come. Meanwhile, Jonathan Taylor managers need to […]

RotoBaller drops our top fantasy football Week 8 waiver wire pickups for the 2026 season for RB, WR, TE, and QB. This week, managers saw several backfields shift as a potential rookie could be leading the charge in Denver, while the former No. 3 running back in the desert could have fully claimed the lead […]

Omar Cooper Jr. is a priority if he's still available after following his first 100-yard game with another Sunday. Caleb Douglas delivered a big fantasy score, catching both of the Miami Dolphins' touchdown passes in his return from an ankle injury. Antonio Williams had the weekend off, but the Washington Commanders' loss of Terry McLaurin […]

Jonah Coleman is the first name I'd target from this group. He returned from an ankle injury Sunday and gave the Denver Broncos a reason to expand his workload. Kaelon Black is insurance for Christian McCaffrey managers heading into the San Francisco 49ers' bye. Seth McGowan's workload reached a season high with 12 touches Sunday, […]

Bam Knight has the strongest immediate lineup case in this group, provided Jeremiyah Love misses another week. He has led the Arizona Cardinals in rushing in consecutive games while Love has been sidelined. Samaje Perine scored Sunday but saw his workload shrink sharply from his previous game. Mike Washington Jr. remains an interesting backup behind […]

Matchups matter, and in Week 8, I’m putting that theory to the test with a quarterback landscape that offers some major opportunities—and a few traps fantasy managers need to avoid. Kyler Murray has a matchup worth getting excited about, and if you’ve been waiting for the right week to trust him, this could be your […]

Hey RotoBallers! Another week of NFL action is in the books, which means it's time to turn our attention to the waiver wire. While many may look for those breakout performances, stashing an upside lottery ticket can be the difference between winning or losing your league in December, Below, we will look at four stash […]

We went 2-for-4 on Thursday and are aiming to return to the win column tonight. The 11-game slate offers several promising matchups, while others are best avoided.
