Ja'Whaun Bentley Injures Hamstring In Week 8

New England Patriots linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley (hamstring) didn't return to the Week 8 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. The 27-year-old had a team-high 49 total tackles entering Sunday's contest, so New England certainly hopes the hamstring injury doesn't keep him out in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders. That said, Bentley will likely appear on […]

DeVante Parker Doesn't Return In Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (head) didn't return to Sunday's AFC East clash with the Miami Dolphins. The wideout had just one catch for 14 yards before suffering a controversial hit in the third quarter that ended his day. It certainly wasn't good timing, considering the Patriots also lost Kendrick Bourne (knee). Nonetheless, […]

Damien Williams Questionable To Return Against Baltimore

Arizona Cardinals running back Damien Williams (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens. The 31-year-old would finish with just five yards off two carries and four yards off one catch if he doesn't return. But with Emari Demercado the primary rusher out of the backfield, Williams' status for the remainder of […]

Jalen Hurts Still Battling A Knee Issue

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had a fantastic showing in Sunday's narrow win over the Washington Commanders. He threw for 319 yards and four touchdowns off 29-for-38 passing. While fantasy managers are undoubtedly pleased with the performance, there is still a cause for concern, considering Hurts has battled a bone bruise in his knee for […]

Desmond Ridder Not Benched For Poor Performance

According to Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith, the team remains confident in the abilities of quarterback Desmond Ridder. The signal-caller didn't look the best in the Week 8 loss to the Titans, going 8-for-12 for 71 yards and adding three carries for 26 yards before being replaced by Taylor Heinicke. While those numbers aren't […]

Kendrick Bourne Set For An MRI On Monday

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee) will get an MRI on Monday. The wideout injured his right knee during the Week 8 meeting with the Dolphins and didn't return. He's had a good 2023-24 campaign, so fantasy managers hope the ailment won't keep him out for the […]

Cameron Johnson Wearing A Boot

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (calf) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the Hornets. He didn't play on Friday night against the Dallas Mavericks, resulting in Dorian Finney-Smith replacing him in the lineup and finishing with 12 points and seven rebounds while going 4-for-7 from deep. Unfortunately, Johnson was seen wearing a boot during practice […]

Nicolas Claxton Could Miss Another Game

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (ankle) is day-to-day, meaning he may miss Monday's game in Charlotte. He didn't suit up for Friday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks, with head coach Jacque Vaughn going small, resulting in Ben Simmons, who narrowly had a triple-double, getting work in the middle. With Cameron Johnson (calf) questionable for Monday […]

Daniel Gafford Doesn't Practice On Sunday

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford (ankle) didn't practice on Sunday and is questionable for Monday's showdown with the Celtics. The 25-year-old has had a decent season so far, averaging eight points, eight rebounds, and two blocks. Unfortunately, he twisted his ankle during Saturday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies, so fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if […]

James Harden Remains Out On Sunday Night

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden won't play on Sunday against Portland, as expected. Philly has the veteran listed as out due to conditioning reasons. However, there's a real chance he's already played his final game with the 76ers. That said, De'Anthony Melton should remain in the starting lineup. But Tyrese Maxey has benefitted greatly without […]

Stephen Curry Now Probable For Sunday Night

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (foot) is probable for Sunday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. The sharpshooter was questionable on Saturday, and there appeared to be a real shot he wouldn't be available. But he should be good to go, barring a setback. Curry is averaging 34.0 points and shooting 45.8% from deep this […]

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 […]
