San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness, wrist) is expected to play in Sunday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys. The wideout has been battling a wrist issue for a few weeks.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Out Again On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) won't play on Sunday against OKC. The veteran sharpshooter logged 28 minutes in the opener versus Brooklyn, finishing with eight points and two blocks. Unfortunately, he's battling a hamstring issue, so he'll miss his second contest of the 2024-25 campaign. Onyeka Okongwu has been handling most of the minutes […]

Khris Middleton Remains Out On Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankles) remains out for Sunday's meeting with the Brooklyn Nets. He continues to work his way back from offseason ankle surgeries. However, the veteran still isn't ready to go, and the Bucks don't plan on rushing him back. Of course, Giannis Antetokounmpo will lead the offense. But until Middleton returns […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable Versus The Nets

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is probable for Sunday's game in Brooklyn. The multi-time MVP appeared on the injury report for patella tendinitis ahead of both of Milwaukee's games this season. However, it didn't keep him off the floor. As usual, Antetokounmpo is having a quality season thus far, averaging 31.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, […]

RJ Barrett Still Out On Saturday

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) won't suit up for Saturday's game against Minnesota. He hasn't played yet this season because of an AC joint sprain.

Josh Green Sidelined Against The Heat

Charlotte Hornets guard Josh Green (Achilles) won't suit up on Saturday against the Miami Heat. The 23-year-old made his 2024-25 debut on Friday versus the Hawks, finishing with five points, three boards, one steal, and one block in 18 minutes. However, he'll take the night off to rest. With Green sidelined, Tre Mann, who has […]

LaMelo Ball Cleared For Action On Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (tailbone) will play on Saturday versus Miami. The 23-year-old was questionable heading into this contest. However, he is good to go. Ball has played extremely well in Charlotte's first two games, averaging 34.0 points, 7.5 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and 50.0% shooting from deep. Ball's presence decreases the ceiling of Tre […]

Roschon Johnson Not A Starting Fantasy Option In Week 8

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson has found the end zone in two of the last three games. However, he's coming off a rough showing, amassing five carries for eight yards in Week 6 against the Jags. Still, there are some questioning whether Johnson should be considered a starting fantasy option for Week 8 versus […]

Isaiah Likely May Be Worth Starting In Week 8

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely began the 2024-25 campaign by catching nine of his 12 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown in the Week 1 loss to the Chiefs. While the 24-year-old has found the end zone two more times since then, he has just 11 receptions in the Ravens' previous six contests. […]

Mike Williams May See More Snaps Versus The Pats

New York Jets wide receiver Mike Williams could see some more snaps on Sunday versus the Patriots. With Allen Lazard (chest) doubtful, the former Charger may serve as the No. 3 wideout on the depth chart behind Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson. Williams tenure with the Jets hasn't been productive, amassing only 11 catches (19 […]

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Ready For More Involvement In Week 8?

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has only three catches this season. However, two of them resulted in a trip to the end zone. While the 27-year-old has a way to go before earning trust from fantasy managers, the door is open for more involvement after DeAndre Hopkins was traded to the Chiefs. Granted, Tyler […]

Tim Patrick Gaining Flex Attention For Week 8

Detroit Lions wide receiver Tim Patrick has just 10 catches for 165 yards this season. However, with Jameson Williams (suspension) out for the next few games, Patrick is starting to gain attention from fantasy managers heading into the Week 8 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Without question, it will be business as usual for Amon-Ra […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Now Doubtful For Monday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) is now listed as doubtful for Monday night against the New York Giants. He's been limited at practice throughout the week, and head coach Mike Tomlin indicated there was a shot he'd be back for Week 8. However, it appears the veteran will miss his fourth straight game […]

Lonzo Ball Available Versus OKC

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (injury maintenance) is available for Saturday's meeting with OKC. Ball played in his first game in years on Wednesday versus the Pelicans, amassing five points, four assists, and two rebounds in 14 minutes. But he didn't suit up on Friday against Milwaukee, the first of back-to-back contests. This will likely […]

Sam Hauser Out Again On Saturday

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) won't play in Saturday's game against the Pistons. Hauser had 10 points and five boards in the opening night win over the New York Knicks. However, he'll now miss his second game of the 2024-25 campaign because of low back pain. Without Hauser, Payton Pritchard, coming off a 15-point […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
