Mason Taylor to Capitalize on Expanded Week 8 Role?

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (quad) could not come through for fantasy managers in last Sunday's loss to the Panthers, but will look to rebound in Week 8's meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals. The LSU product tied for the team lead in receptions (three) in their 13-6 loss. Although he could only record […]

Breece Hall Eyes Bounce-Back Game Against Leaky Bengals D

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) is in store for an excellent Week 8 matchup with the hosting Cincinnati Bengals. Hall picked up a minor knee issue in last weekend's loss to the Panthers that held him to a season-low in snap share (54%). Per head coach Aaron Glenn, he's trending toward suiting […]

Tyrod Taylor a Dubious Play if he Starts

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) will be difficult to bet on if he plays in Week 8 when his team takes on the hosting Cincinnati Bengals. The Jets are lined up for a juicy matchup against one of the league's worst defensive units. However, it's unclear who will be New York's starting quarterback. […]

Justin Fields a Risky Week 8 Start

If New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields gets the starting nod for Week 8's road outing with the Cincinnati Bengals, it's understandable if fantasy managers display pause when slotting him into their lineups. The Ohio State alum has been superb against softer defenses, though he's underwhelmed in true tests and has seemingly regressed over the […]

Brock Purdy to Miss Another Week?

With the status of quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) still uncertain, San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch noted that the Iowa State alum's style of play is what's keeping him off the field for an extended period of time. "Brock knows he plays a certain way. And he can't change the way he plays to […]

Emeka Egbuka Returns to Thursday's Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) was spotted at practice on Thursday, according to Pewter Report. The standout rookie ultimately suited up in the team's loss to the Lions in Week 7, although he wasn't seen at practice on Wednesday. It undoubtedly bodes well for his status ahead of Tampa Bay's Week 8 […]

AJ Barner Sees Production Dip on Monday Night

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner took a slight step back in his team's 27-19 win over the visiting Houston Texans, failing to build off the momentum he carried over the previous two contests. Barner had amassed ten receptions, 124 yards, and two touchdowns across his outings in Weeks 5 and 6. Still, he vanished […]

Emanuel Wilson Stuck in Insurance Role

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson was not impactful for fantasy in Week 7 despite racking up a season-high in backfield snap share (34%). Wilson was expected to see an elevated workload while teammate Josh Jacobs (calf) dealt with an injury and illness. While the 26-year-old was out there quite a bit to spell […]

What's up, RotoBallers, and welcome back to our Week 8 fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups.

Bryce Young Expected to Miss Week 8

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) is expected to miss his team's matchup with the Buffalo Bills in Week 8 after sustaining a high ankle sprain. Young left Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets after picking up the injury, and although initial X-rays returned negative, an MRI revealed the […]

Zach Ertz Hauls in Fourth Touchdown in Week 7

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz reeled in 3-of-7 targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in his team's 44-22 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The Commanders' offense couldn't get much going against Dallas, and that was true before and after second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels (hamstring) was forced from the game with an […]

Joe Flacco an Attractive Week 8 Streamer

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco is a strong streaming option ahead of Week 8 with six NFL teams on bye. This coming weekend will feature 2025's largest bye week, with quite a few high-powered offenses taking a game off. While Flacco projects to be a nice fill-in for the diminished slate, he's been excellent either […]

Michael Mayer, Raiders Offense Bottom Out Vs. Chiefs

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer hauled in one of his two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Raiders were handily out-matched against their division rivals, and have now scored a total of 26 points across the last three contests. Mayer was out there for nearly […]

Travis Hunter Ascending Heading Into Bye

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Travis Hunter broke out in Sunday's 35-7 defeat to the Los Angeles Rams, nabbing 8-of-14 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown. The second-overall pick of April's draft finally had his coming-out party in London, setting new career-highs across the board. Hunter was superb, separating at all three levels of the […]

Nick Folk Not Consistent Enough to Rely on for Fantasy

New York Jets placekicker Nick Folk is a low-end fantasy option for his team's contest with the visiting Carolina Panthers in Week 7. As has been the case all season, the veteran was perfect in Week 6, knocking through all three of his field goal attempts - a season-high. Carolina's defense has been stingy in […]

Tyler Johnson a Week 7 DFS Dart Throw

New York Jets wide receiver Tyler Johnson won't be on the fantasy radar for his team's home matchup in Week 7 with the Carolina Panthers. Johnson is set to rack up extra playing time this weekend, with teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) expected to miss the outing with a knee injury. Despite the increased involvement, Johnson […]

Arian Smith's Increased Opportunity Doesn't Translate to Fantasy Relevance

New York Jets wide receiver Arian Smith is poised to see a workload uptick in Week 7 when his team takes on the visiting Carolina Panthers at MetLife Stadium. The 24-year-old rookie saw an increase in snap share last weekend with fellow wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) in and out of the game while battling a […]

Isaiah Davis Remains Strictly a Handcuff Vs. Panthers

Despite ascending in the team's backfield pecking order, New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis has not seen his opportunity translate to fantasy success and remains exclusively in a change-of-pace role for this Sunday's game with the visiting Carolina Panthers. In two appearances as the backup to running mate Breece Hall, the 23-year-old has accrued […]

Josh Reynolds Stepping Into WR1 Role Vs. Carolina

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds will get a chance to operate as the team's WR1 in this weekend's home matchup with the Carolina Panthers. Reynolds has been off the fantasy radar all season in New York's low-volume passing attack. However, he'll have an opportunity to shine this Sunday with teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) […]

Mason Taylor Gains Appeal as Jets Aim to Fill Pass-Catching Void

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor is poised to see a more significant target share this weekend when his team squares off with the Carolina Panthers. The LSU alum's usage was trending in the right direction over the previous few weeks, but his production bottomed out in a tough matchup with the Broncos […]

Breece Hall a Volume-Based RB2 in Week 7

New York Jets running back Breece Hall is a candidate to see an increased workload in this Sunday's home game against the Carolina Panthers. The Iowa State product fell victim to a staunch Broncos defensive unit last weekend and will get another stiff test in Week 7 in Carolina. Hall surprisingly wasn't targeted in New […]

Justin Fields a Shaky Start Sans Top Target

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields will be a riskier option than usual for Week 7's meeting with the visiting Carolina Panthers. The 26-year-old has done well for the most part to keep his fantasy value afloat via the run game in 2025. Still, he's likely to be without his primary weapon in the passing […]

Emeka Egbuka Working With Trainers on Friday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) was seen working off to the side with trainers during Friday's practice, per Greg Auman of FOX Sports. The standout rookie was labeled as a non-participant on Thursday, so it's encouraging to see him upgrade his practice status a day later. While Egbuka hasn't explicitly been ruled […]

FOX Sports' Greg Auman reports that Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) did not practice on Friday, but is still on track to suit up for Monday night's matchup with the hosting Detroit Lions.

Puka Nacua Inactive for Week 7

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest with the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London, according to The Athletic's Nate Adkins. Head coach Sean McVay left the door open for the star wideout to play, labeling him as day-to-day earlier in the week following his ankle […]

Tutu Atwell's Usage on the Rise Ahead of Week 7

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) is slated for an elevated workload in Week 7 when his team squares off with the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. The 26-year-old missed LA's win over the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday as he tended to a hamstring injury, but he's trending toward playing this weekend. He should […]

Kayshon Boutte Trending Positively in Pats' Pass Attack

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte will look to continue building trust with quarterback Drake Maye this weekend when the team takes on a vulnerable Tennessee Titans defense. Boutte has primarily been an afterthought this season in the Pats' passing game, but has gained 90 or more yards in each of the two outings […]

Jason Sanders Might Not Play in 2025

According to Miami Dolphins special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman, the team is uncertain if placekicker Jason Sanders (hip) is close to a return, or if he'll even be available to play in the 2025 campaign. Sanders sustained a hip injury leading up to the start of the regular season, but it appears to be worse […]

Trey Hendrickson a "Long Shot" for Thursday Night

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Cincinnati Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson (hip) is considered a "long shot" to play in Thursday night's matchup with the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers. The 30-year-old picked up a back injury in last weekend's loss to the Packers, but ultimately missed this week of practice due to an ailing hip. […]
