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. The Bucs lost their top two wideouts in Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) during last week's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. They will now be forced to use […]

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. Brooks struggled during the season opener as he only connected on 1-of-6 field goal attempts. The 28-year-old finished with two points and three rebounds across […]

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. As expected, Jackson will miss his second straight game due to a hamstring issue. It sounds like Jackson is trending in the right direction, so hopefully he's available for Saturday's contest versus the Orlando Magic. Santi […]

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. Thielen was able to get through a few limited practices this week, but the team has decided to hold him out for at least one more game. This is not good news for quarterback […]

Derek Carr Tagged As Doubful For Week 8

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) hasn't been able to practice this week and is considered doubtful ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Carr is set to miss his third game in a row due to a lingering oblique injury. Spencer Rattler could continue starting under center, but won't […]

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. It finally appears that Hill will be back in action for the first time since Week 4. The 34-year-old has only put together one good performance through his three […]

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. The Chiefs offense has been crushed by injuries, so they made a move and acquired Hopkins from the Tennessee Titans. Hopkins […]

Dorian Thompson-Robinson To Serve As Backup

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (finger) appears to be ready to go for the Week 8 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Thompson-Robinson was forced to exit during last week's loss due to a right middle finger injury. It appears to be a minor issue, so Thompson-Robinson will serve as the No.2 option behind Jameis Winston […]

Jalen Nailor Quiet In Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor was quiet on the field during Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Nailor hauled in two of his four targets for 16 yards in the loss. This 16-yard performance was his second worst of the season. It probably won't get better for Nailor with tight end T.J. Hockenson […]

Jordan Addison Disappoints Once Again

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison hasn't been able to give fantasy managers much value at all this season. He certainly didn't help them with his performance against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. Addison hauled in two of his three targets for 22 yards in the loss. This was his worst performance of the […]

Josh Oliver Scores In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver has seen increased playing time this season without T.J. Hockenson (knee) on the field. On Thursday, Oliver hauled in both his targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Oliver hasn't done much all season and this performance was his best outing […]

Justin Jefferson Continues His Stellar Play

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson was targeted early and often during Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Jefferson hauled in five receptions for 68 yards over the first two drives of the game. His usage slowed down a bit after that, but Jefferson finished with eight receptions on nine targets for 115 yards […]

Aaron Jones Gains Nearly 100 Yards

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones couldn't find much success on the ground during Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Jones rushed 19 times for 58 yards in what ended up being a loss for Minnesota. However, Jones was able to help his value with two receptions for an additional 37 yards through the […]

Sam Darnold Tosses Two Touchdowns

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold started out hot, but he cooled off after the first few drives. Darnold threw touchdowns on back-to-back drives to open the game, but didn't have a ton of success after that. He completed 18-of-25 passing attempts for 240 yards and two scores in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. […]

Jayden Reed, Christian Watson Limited On Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Jayden Reed (ankle) and Christian Watson (ankle) were both limited during Thursday's practice. Both players head into Week 8 with injuries, but luckily they aren't considered to be major issues. Reed has been reliable throughout most of the season, but is coming off his worst performance of the season. He […]

Will Dissly Misses Another Practice

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was sidelined for the second straight day during practice. This is not good to see after Dissly's eight-catch performance in Week 7. Now, Dissly is in danger of missing Week 8 after back-to-back absences. If active, Dissly sneaks onto the TE2 radar against the New Orleans Saints. […]

Jakobi Meyers Absent During Thursday's Practice

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) didn't suit up for Thursday's practice session. Meyers was limited on Wednesday, but didn't practice at all on Thursday. It's possible that it was a rest day for Meyers, but that was not confirmed. This doesn't look good considering Meyers hasn't played in two weeks due to […]

Will Levis Limited Once Again

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) was limited during Thursday's practice session. Levis continues to deal with an AC joint sprain that he suffered in Week 4. It's worth noting that the issue is on his throwing shoulder, which could explain his poor play in Week 6. Mason Rudolph started last week and was able […]

Tyjae Spears Remains Limited On Thursday

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. The organization is hopeful that Spears can get back on the field this week after sitting out in Week 7. If healthy, Spears figures to continue being the primary backup to Tony Pollard. Spears has struggled with only one game […]

Calvin Ridley Misses Thursday's Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot) was absent during Thursday's practice session. This could put the Titans in a bad spot heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Detroit Lions. They traded veteran wideout DeAndre Hopkins and fellow receiver Treylon Burks (knee) has been placed on the injured reserve. The absence of Ridley […]

Ja'Kobe Walter To Sit Out On Friday

Toronto Raptors guard Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Unfortunately, Raptors fans will have to wait a little longer before their first-round pick can take the court. This doesn't sound like a serious issue, but the Raptors aren't going to take any chances with their young […]

Sam Hauser Won't Play Thursday

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was downgraded to questionable earlier in the day and now he'll sit out due to a lower back issue. The injury isn't considered to be serious, so Hauser should be back in the mix within a […]
