Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (tailbone) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Miami Heat. The 23-year-old has been on fire this season, averaging 34.0 points, 7.5 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and 50.0% shooting from behind the arc. Unfortunately, he's in danger of missing Saturday's contest. If that happens, it would be a tough blow for […]

Ja Morant Uncertain To Face Orlando

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (thigh) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 2019 No. 2 overall pick has played well in his first two appearances in 2024-25, averaging 23.0 points and 6.0 assists. But now Morant is in danger of missing the third game on the Grizzlies' schedule because of thigh […]

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) underwent successful surgery on Friday. He's expected to make a full recovery. The signal-caller suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in the divisional matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals, ending his season.

Keep Zack Moss Sitting Versus The Eagles

Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss ran for just seven yards off six carries in the Week 7 win over the Browns. The 26-year-old found the end zone in three of the Bengals' first four games in 2024-25. However, he's gone cold since then, with Chase Brown emerging as the lead back in Cincinnati. While […]

Chase Brown A Risky Fantasy Option In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown now sits atop the depth chart. While Zack Moss remains involved, he had only six carries for seven yards in Week 7 versus the Browns. On the other hand, Brown logged 15 touches for 44 yards to end the day. Although Moss has the edge in red zone opportunities […]

Andrei Iosivas A Potential Flex Option Versus Philadelphia

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas began the 2024-25 campaign by finding the end zone three times in the team's first three games. However, he's cooled off significantly of late, totaling only four catches in the last four contests. Without question, managers no longer consider Iosivas a starting fantasy option. It's also likely he's worked […]

Ja'Marr Chase A Top Fantasy Wideout In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has been on a roll of late. After not finding the end zone in the Bengals' first two games of the 2024-25 campaign, the wideout has scored in four of his previous five appearances. Tee Higgins (quadriceps) has been getting more targets. However, with Higgins uncertain to suit up […]

Joe Burrow Looking To Lead His Team To .500 In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow looks to lead his squad to a .500 record with a win over Philadelphia in Week 8. The signal-caller has been a quality fantasy quarterback in 2024-25. In the Bengals' seven games this season, he's thrown at least two or more touchdowns in five of those contests. Burrow has also […]

Gary Trent Jr. Good To Go Against Chicago

Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. (calf) will suit up for Friday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. He appeared on the injury report because of a calf contusion. However, it's apparent the injury won't be enough to keep him off the floor. Trent played relatively well in the opener versus the 76ers on Wednesday, finishing […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Active Versus Chicago

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available for Friday's game versus the Bulls. He was also on the injury report ahead of the opener against the 76ers. However, it didn't stop The Freak from finishing with 25 points, 14 rebounds, and seven assists. With Khris Middleton (ankles) still sidelined, Antetokounmpo may continue to flourish. […]

RJ Barrett Out Again On Friday Night

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) won't play in Friday's meeting with Philadelphia. This will mark his second consecutive absence due to the AC joint injury sustained during the preseason. Luckily, he's been practicing of late, so it appears he's inching his way closer to a return. With Immanuel Quickley (Pelvis) also out, Scottie Barnes […]

The Commanders also saw Jayden Daniels go down with a rib injury. Fortunately for Washington, the rookie may not […]

Draymond Green Uncertain For Meeting With Utah

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Utah. The veteran sustained a left knee contusion in Wednesday's blowout win over the Blazers. However, he still had a decent showing, amassing eight points, six boards, two blocks, and one steal. With Stephen Curry (hip) also questionable, the Warriors may need […]

Stephen Curry Questionable For Friday Night

But now he's in jeopardy of missing the second game on the Warriors' schedule. Golden State is […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Not Expected To Play Versus Houston

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (hamstring) is doubtful for Friday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. The 25-year-old continues to battle a hamstring strain. He wasn't available for the opener on Wednesday, although Santi Aldama filled the void admirably by finishing with 27 points off 10-for-16 shooting (5-for-10 from deep). Jackson is inching his way […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable Again For Friday Night

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's matchup with the Bulls. The 29-year-old carried the same designation heading into the opener versus the 76ers. However, he was out there, finishing with 25 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists, and one block. As always, Antetokounmpo is a must-start in any fantasy lineup. […]

Brandon Miller Won't Face Atlanta

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (glute) won't play in Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He logged only 11 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Houston Rockets, finishing with six points. However, the 21-year-old sat out the second half of that contest and is now on the shelf with a gluteal strain. Miller will likely […]

RJ Barrett Doubtful For Friday Night

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) is doubtful heading into Friday's matchup with Philly. The 24-year-old suffered an AC joint sprain during the preseason and has been working his way back since. He wasn't available for Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers. However, Barrett practiced on Thursday, so it appears there's a shot he'll be on […]

Lonzo Ball Resting On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (injury management) won't play on Friday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Due to a knee injury, Ball appeared in his first contest in over two years in Wednesday's opener against the Pelicans. He looked better than expected, amassing five points, four assists, and two boards in 14 minutes of work. With […]

Zion Williamson Off The Injury Report

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (illness) isn't listed on the league's official injury report ahead of Friday's matchup with the Trail Blazers.

Fantasy Football Injury Reports for Tight Ends: Week 8 - Updates for Evan Engram, T.J. Hockenson, Dallas Goedert, George Kittle

It’s Week 8, nearly halfway through the 2024-25 campaign. It hasn’t been a memorable season for tight ends around the National Football League.

Jose Alvarado Cleared For Action Versus The Bulls

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (knee) will suit up for Wednesday's matchup against the Bulls. He's been plagued by a right knee contusion and was listed as questionable.

Dejounte Murray Good To Go On Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (personal) will play on Wednesday against Chicago. He was away while dealing with a personal matter. However, the veteran was at shootaround on Wednesday and warmed up with the team, so fantasy managers had a feeling he'd be out there. Without Zion Williamson (illness) available, Murray could surge versus […]

Josh Green Sidelined Versus The Rockets

Charlotte Hornets forward Josh Green (Achilles) won't play on Wednesday versus the Rockets. The 23-year-old is battling Achilles soreness and was initially listed as questionable. However, he won't be available, so his next chance to suit up will be on Friday versus Atlanta. Without Green in the mix, Cody Martin will likely take his spot […]

Ben Simmons Starting Against Atlanta

Brooklyn Nets utility man Ben Simmons will start in Wednesday's matchup versus the Hawks. Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) will suit up. However, head coach Jordi Fernandez indicated he would be on a minutes restriction. Simmons struggled last season. Yet, there's no denying his triple-double upside, so he could easily surpass his fantasy expectations now that he's […]

Dean Wade Starting Against Toronto

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade will start in Wednesday's meeting with the Raptors. Max Strus (ankle) will be sidelined for at least four weeks, so Wade will do his best to fill the void in the lineup. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old averaged only 6.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in 32 starts last season. With that in […]
