Joel Embiid May Rest Against Portland

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the visiting Trail Blazers. Philly had a game in Toronto on Saturday, so the reigning MVP, who nearly had a triple-double in 35 minutes, could get the night off to rest. Fantasy managers should expect Embiid to get time off in some back-to-back situations […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 8 - Daily Fantasy Football Targets Include Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Jonathan Taylor, more

Thankfully, "Byemageddon" is over. In fact, there aren't any teams on a bye in Week 8, which will hopefully make things easier regarding lineup construction. Week 7 featured strong performances from guys like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Puka Nacua, and Amon-Ra St. Brown, which didn't shock anyone. However, others like D'Onta Foreman, Darrell Henderson, Gardner Minshew, and Joshua […]

Chase Young Trade To Chicago In The Works?

According to multiple reports, the Bears could be interested in acquiring Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young. In addition to trading for the former Buckeye, the plan would be to sign him to a long-term contract, considering Chicago has plenty of cap space next season. Young, the 2020 defensive Rookie of the Year, began his […]

Zack Moss Still Questionable, Will Go Through Warmups

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (elbow, heel) will go through pre-game warmups on Sunday. If all goes well, the 25-year-old will play in Week 8. However, if things don't go as planned, Jonathan Taylor will get most of the work against the Saints. Taylor and Moss have split touches […]

Deshaun Watson Not Expected To Land On Injured Reserve

According to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) isn't facing a "long-term absence." He also isn't anticipated to land on the injured reserve list. Instead, the signal-caller is considered week-to-week, with Schefter adding that the team will "continue to be cautious." Watson is battling a rotator cuff strain, and although […]

Josh Richardson Out Again On Saturday

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) remains out for Saturday's game against Minnesota. The veteran has battled a heel injury since the preseason, so fantasy managers must wait a bit longer for his debut. In the meantime, Jimmy Butler (rest), Kevin Love (shoulder), and Caleb Martin (knee) are also out versus the Timberwolves, so Duncan […]

Duncan Robinson Available Against Minnesota

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (foot) is available on Saturday night against Minnesota. The 29-year-old has battled a sprained foot, although he hasn't missed a game, averaging 12.0 points while shooting an impressive 54.5% from deep. With Max Strus and Gabe Vincent no longer on the roster, Robinson could regain a consistent role in the […]

Caleb Martin To Miss Saturday's Contest

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (knee) isn't available for Saturday's showdown with the Timberwolves. The 28-year-old appeared in the season opener against the Detroit Pistons. However, he'll now miss his second straight game because of a left knee issue. Unfortunately for Miami, the injuries don't end there, as Kevin Love (shoulder), Haywood Highsmith (knee), and […]

Kevin Love Sitting Out Against Minnesota

Miami Heat forward Kevin Love (shoulder) won't play in Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran logged 21 minutes in the loss to Boston on Friday, finishing shy of a double-double. But with Miami playing the first back-to-back of the 2023-24 campaign, there may be other reasons Love won't suit up. The Heat also […]

Santi Aldama Not Ready To Play

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (ankle) won't make his season debut on Saturday in Washington. The 22-year-old averaged 9.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 2022-23 and is predicted to see plenty of minutes for Memphis this season, considering the team is without Steven Adams (knee) and Brandon Clarke (Achilles). However, with the emergence of Xavier […]

Jimmy Butler Resting On Saturday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (rest) won't play on Saturday in Minnesota. It's Miami's first back-to-back on the schedule, although this trend could continue for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. With Caleb Martin (knee), Kevin Love (shoulder), and Josh Richardson (heel) also out, others will need to set up against the Timberwolves. While Bam […]

Jarrett Allen Won't Return Against The Pacers

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (ankle) won't suit up for Saturday's matchup with the Pacers. Allen hasn't played this season because of an ankle injury, and he could miss a few more games moving ahead, considering the team doesn't want to rush his rehab efforts. As a result, Evan Mobley will likely stay at the […]

Darius Garland Out Again On Saturday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (hamstring) remains out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Garland has battled a hamstring issue for a while. He managed to play in the opener. However, the 23-year-old didn't suit up on Friday versus OKC, allowing Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) to finish with 43 points. But Mitchell is now questionable […]

Donovan Mitchell May Not Play Against Indiana

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) may miss Saturday's meeting with the Pacers. Mitchell scored 43 points in Friday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder but is now questionable because of hamstring soreness. With Darius Garland (hamstring) and Jarrett Allen (ankle) out, Caris LeVert and Evan Mobley could emerge as must-start options for DFS managers […]

Devin Booker To Miss Another Game

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) remains out ahead of Saturday's meeting with Utah. This will mark the sharpshooter's second consecutive absence, meaning his next chance to suit up will occur on Halloween versus the Spurs. Bradley Beal (back) also won't play, so Eric Gordon, coming off a 15-point performance in Thursday's loss to the […]

Courtland Sutton A Risky Option Against The Chiefs

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has proven himself the most reliable pass-catcher for the team this season. The 28-year-old has 31 catches (43 targets) for 351 yards. He also has five touchdowns, one away from tying his career-high from 2019, when he made the Pro Bowl. Of course, the inconsistent play of Russell Wilson […]

Brock Purdy Cleared, Will Play In Week 8

According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (head) cleared concussion protocol and no longer carries an injury designation ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Bengals. The signal-caller was limited in practice on Thursday but fully participated in Friday's session, so he was moving in the right direction. Of course, […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Elevated Off The Practice Squad

The Rams elevated running back Darrell Henderson Jr. off the practice squad on Saturday ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Cowboys. With Kyren Williams (ankle) on injured reserve, Royce Freeman and Henderson were expected to split opportunities out of the backfield in Week 7 versus the Steelers. However, it quickly became evident Henderson […]

Samaje Perine Not A Safe Choice For Week 8

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine hasn't had the year most thought he would. The former Bengal has just 98 yards off 26 carries and 20 catches for 215 yards through the first seven weeks. More alarming, he hasn't scored a touchdown as a runner or pass-catcher. Most had assumed Perine at least had a […]

Jaleel McLaughlin A Risky Flex Play Versus The Chiefs

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin has had a decent inaugural campaign. While Javonte Williams is still the No. 1 back on the depth chart, the rookie has been arguably more productive. McLaughlin has three total touchdowns on the year compared to Williams' zero, and the former has slowly been getting more involved as each […]

Javonte Williams Hard To Trust In Week 8

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams hasn't had the best 2023-24 campaign. Even though there were doubts he'd be ready to start the year after flirting with the PUP list in training camp because of a knee injury, fantasy managers are still disappointed. It's safe to say the 23-year-old has fallen well below expectations, considering […]

Russell Wilson Not An Ideal Option Versus The Chiefs

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson will meet Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs for the second time this season. Both AFC West clubs recently clashed in Week 6. However, the signal-caller didn't do anything relevant, finishing the night by amassing 95 passing yards and a touchdown. Even worse, he threw two interceptions and completed an embarrassing […]

Brock Purdy Expected To Play In Week 8

According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (concussion) is anticipated to get cleared and start on Sunday versus the Bengals "if all goes as expected." The signal-caller practiced in full on Friday after being limited in Thursday's session, which is always a good sign. But for now, […]

Frank Ragnow Battling Multiple Injuries

Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow (toe, calf) isn't expected to practice on Saturday, marking what would be his third consecutive absence. He may work "on the side." However, head coach Dan Campbell said it's "tough" to tell if the 27-year-old would play in Monday's meeting with the Raiders. Ragnow, a multi-time Pro-Bowler, is considered one […]

Jordan Wilkins Elevated From The Practice Squad

The Browns elevated running back Jordan Wilkins from the practice squad ahead of the team's upcoming meeting in Seattle. Under normal circumstances, this move wouldn't be newsworthy. However, it may paint a bigger picture, potentially signaling an impending absence by Jerome Ford (ankle), who remains questionable for Week 8. Fortunately for Cleveland, Kareem Hunt (thigh) […]

Davante Adams "Happy" To Be A Raider

During a recent interview with NFL Media's Rich Eisen, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams stated he is "happy" to be on the team. The veteran recently voiced his displeasure, specifically regarding his lack of involvement, leading many to believe he wanted out. However, Adams' unhappiness evidently was heard loud and clear by teammates […]

Jaden McDaniels Doubtful Versus Miami

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (calf) isn't expected to play on Saturday against Miami. The 23-year-old, who recently signed a lucrative extension with the Timberwolves, is battling a calf strain. While he's considered day-to-day, there's a realistic chance he will miss a few more time moving ahead, including upcoming games versus Atlanta and Denver. As […]

Naji Marshall Remains Out On Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Naji Marshall (knee) remains out for Saturday's meeting with the visiting Knicks. The 25-year-old suffered a right knee contusion during a preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks in mid-October and was expected to miss a few weeks, meaning he could be nearing a return. However, even when Marshall is back in […]

Devin Booker Unlikely To Play Against Utah

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (foot) isn't expected to play on Saturday night against Utah. Booker didn't suit up on Thursday versus the Lakers, so his next chance to return will be on Tuesday for the Halloween encounter with the Spurs. With Bradley Beal (back) already ruled out, the Suns will be forced to rely […]

Bradley Beal Won't Return Saturday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) won't play on Saturday against Utah. Beal will miss his third consecutive game because of back spasms, so his next chance to make his official debut with his new team will be on Tuesday versus the visiting Spurs. With Devin Booker (foot) doubtful, Kevin Durant, who had 39 points […]
