Pierre Strong Jr. Avoidable For Week 8

Cleveland Browns running back Pierre Strong Jr. is expected to serve as the top backup for the Week 8 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Browns are shorthanded at running back with Jerome Ford (hamstring) sidelined again. That means, Strong should get mixed in as the change-of-pace back behind Nick Chubb. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect […]

Simi Fehoko Could See More Involvement

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Simi Fehoko was hardly involved in the offense until a few weeks ago. However, the 26-year-old has seen an increased role lately with the Chargers banged up at wideout. Over the last two weeks, Fehoko has hauled in five of his 10 targets for 89 yards. There's a good chance […]

Bryce Young Could Remain Starter Beyond Week 8

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young will be back under center for the Week 8 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Young was benched after the first two games due to his poor performance. However, he's back to starting with Andy Dalton (thumb) banged up right now. The Panthers are hopeful that his time as the second […]

Nate Wiggins Unavailable For Week 8

Baltimore Ravens defensive back Nate Wiggins (illness) has been downgraded to out ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Foyesade Oluokun Activated From Injured Reserve

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun (foot) has been activated from the injured reserve ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Jalen Reagor Elevated Ahead Of Week 8

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Jalen Reagor has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Audric Estime Not Trustworthy For Week 8

Denver Broncos running back Audric Estime made his return to the field two weeks ago, but has struggled to make an impact on the field. Last week, Estime rushed five times for 29 yards and also lost a fumble in the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The rookie back is currently the third string […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Avoidable For Week 8

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin hasn't made much of an impact on the ground this season. McLaughlin has seen four or less carries in each of the last two games.

Zion Williamson On Minutes Restriction

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (illness) will be under a minutes restriction for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The good news is that Williamson is available after sitting out the season opener. However, he still must not be feeling 100 percent considering the team is going to limit him here. Head coach […]

Allen was on the injury report due to an Achilles issue, but will end up sitting out this game for personal reasons. His next chance to play would be on Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks. Allen […]

Bradley Beal Will Suit Up On Friday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (shoulder) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. As expected, Beal will play after being considered probable earlier in the day.

De'Anthony Melton Available For Friday

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (chest) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. As expected, Melton will be available after being considered as probable heading into this contest. He figures to continue seeing minutes in the teens off the bench. He finished with 11 points, four assists, and three steals across […]

Cade Otton Lands On TE1 Radar

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton is coming off his best performance of the season. The 25-year-old hauled in eight of his 10 targets for 100 yards in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Otton has turned it on over the last few weeks and will likely see a bigger role going forward. The […]

Trey Palmer Could Have Flex Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer is expected to see a bigger role in the offense going forward. Palmer has been quiet this season with only five receptions for 61 yards heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. However, the Bucs are going to be without their top wideouts in Chris […]

Jalen McMillan Has Intriguing Value For Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan is likely going to be asked to play a big role in the offense going forward. The Bucs lost both their top wideouts in Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) during last week's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. That being said, McMillan and Sterling Shepard are expected […]

Sterling Shepard Has Low-End Flex Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard will be asked to take on a bigger role during the Week 8 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

Sean Tucker Shaky For Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker was quiet during last week's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Tucker exploded for 136 yards and two touchdowns in Week 6, but was held in check to 29 yards on five carries in the loss. The Bucs are using a three-man committee in the backfield, which is going […]

Rachaad White Could Sneak Onto RB1 Radar

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White continued his struggles on the ground, but was able to put together a strong fantasy performance last week. White rushed 10 times for 40 yards, but hauled in six receptions for 71 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The Bucs are using a […]

Baker Mayfield Could Struggle In Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has been an early season MVP candidate with his performance on the field. Last week, Mayfield completed 31-of-45 passing attempts for 370 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The Bucs have taken a huge hit to their offense with both Mike […]

Dillon Brooks Available For Friday's Game

Houston Rockets guard Dillon Brooks (knee) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He was considered probable coming into this game, but will officially be active now.

Cam Whitmore To Play On Friday

Houston Rockets forward Cam Whitmore (knee) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Whitemore was able to play through the knee issue on Wednesday, so it appears to be a minor issue. He finished with four points across eight minutes of action. He's unlikely to see consistent playing time with Jalen Green […]

Isaiah Jackson Available On Friday

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (groin) is available ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. The big man is set to make his season debut after sitting out the season opener. Normally, Jackson's status isn't noteworthy, but he's now the primary backup center with James Wiseman (Achilles) done for the season. The assumption […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Officially Out On Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Tidjane Salaun Active For Friday's Game

Charlotte Hornets forward Tidjane Salaun (finger) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The rookie forward is set to make his season debut after sitting out on Opening Night. Salaun figures to be a rotational piece to begin the season. He could immediately get consistent minutes with Brandon Miller […]

Josh Green Available On Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Josh Green (Achilles) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Green appears ready to make his team debut after missing Wednesday's contest. Green could see a larger role in the rotation than normal with Brandon Miller (glute) sidelined for at least a week. The 23-year-old didn't light up the […]

Adam Thielen Ruled Out For Week 8

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Taysom Hill Ready To Go For Week 8

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (ribs) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Tee Higgins Pops Up On Injury Report

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) is considered questionable ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Higgins was fine throughout the week, but must've suffered a quad injury in practice. This puts Higgins is serious danger of missing Sunday's game considering it's already Friday. If he sits, Andrei Iosivas would shift […]

DeAndre Hopkins Will Play In Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will make his team debut against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. Head coach Andy Reid officially confirmed that the veteran wideout will play this weekend.
