FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 8 - Daily Fantasy Football Targets Include Josh Jacobs, DeAndre Hopkins, Zach Ertz

Heading into Week 7, the Panthers traded running back Christian McCaffrey to the 49ers. Getting the superstar on the roster was a significant acquisition, although it still didn't help San Fransico get past the Kansas City Chiefs. As McCaffrey familiarizes himself with the offense, his new team could be a force come playoff time. The […]

Davante Adams Feeling Better, Likely To Play In Week 8

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (illness) is expected to play on Sunday against the Saints. The wideout missed a few practices throughout the week due to a bout with the flu. However, he's reportedly feeling better and should remain a must-start in all fantasy formats, despite the chance that he won't be 100% […]

Logan Thomas Expected To Play In Week 8

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (calf) is expected to play on Sunday against the Colts. Thomas missed his last three games due to a calf injury and has been riding a questionable tag heading into this one. However, barring a setback, he should be good to go and see some looks from Taylor Heinicke, […]

Tyler Lockett Likely To Suit Up Versus The Giants

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (hamstring, ribs) is expected to play against the Giants, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. D.K. Metcalf (knee) is also forecasted to be in the lineup, so Seattle will have its two top wideouts against a sound Giants defense. However, considering the nature of their injuries, both men […]

DK Metcalf Expected To Play In Week 8

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) is expected to play against the Giants, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. The 24-year-old injured his patella tendon in the Week 7 meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers, requiring a cart ride off the field. Tyler Lockett (hamstring, ribs) is also forecasted to be in the […]

Anthony Davis May Miss Another Game On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (back) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Nuggets. The 2012 No. 1 overall pick missed Friday's game against the Timberwolves due to low back tightness. However, he's been dealing with the issue since the preseason, so the team may remain cautious and keep him out as long as […]

Malcolm Brogdon Questionable On Sunday

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards. Brogdon is dealing with back stiffness, so there's a chance things may improve by tipoff. However, if he can't suit up, Sam Hauser could get more involved. Yet, Hauser won't offer much to fantasy managers, especially with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen […]

Josh Hart Enters Concussion Protocol

Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart (head) entered concussion protocol on Saturday. The 27-year-old hit his head during Friday's win over Houston but will now go through the return-to-participation process before he's cleared. Hart has played well in his six games this season, averaging 10.5 points, 9.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.3 steals. The Blazers' […]

Deandre Ayton Out At Least A Week

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is expected to be out for at least one week. The big man injured his foot early during Friday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans and didn't return. As a result, Bismack Biyombo entered and finished with a double-double, along with two blocks in 23 minutes. Biyombo is the […]

Robert Covington Now Out On Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington (illness) won't play against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 31-year-old had been listed as doubtful with a non-COVID-related illness. However, he now finds himself sitting out due to health and safety protocols, so he'll likely miss some time moving ahead. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) also out, Marcus Morris Sr. […]

Darius Garland Still Out On Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (eye) remains out on Sunday against the Knicks. The 22-year-old has played only 13 minutes this season after sustaining a left eye laceration in the opener. As a result, Dean Wade may remain in the starting lineup, although he won't offer much to fantasy managers. Yet, Caris LeVert, who had […]

Zion Williamson Questionable Against The Clippers

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (hip, back) is questionable ahead of Sunday's contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. Williamson has missed his last two games after getting banged up during his most recent appearance versus the Utah Jazz. The team is certainly looking to get him back, especially with Brandon Ingram (concussion protocols) out […]

Robert Covington Unlikely To Play Versus Pelicans

Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington (illness) isn't expected to suit up on Sunday versus the Pelicans. He doesn't have COVID, which is good news, so assuming he sits out, he could be back on Monday versus the Rockets. Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play, so Norman Powell, Nicolas Batum, and Luke Kennard could see extra […]

Kawhi Leonard Out Again On Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Sunday versus the Pelicans. The veteran recently felt tightness in his surgically repaired knee, so the team is remaining cautious. As a result, Norman Powell will continue to run with the starting unit. Powell has averaged only 9.8 points and 3.0 rebounds while shooting just […]

Tyus Jones Will Start On Saturday Night

Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyus Jones will start on Saturday night against Utah. Ja Morant (illness) is out, so Jones will be tasked with handling the point guard duties. He's played well as a starter during his career, averaging 10.8 points, 6.6 assists, and 2.8 rebounds, making him a must-start in all formats.

Collin Sexton To Start On Saturday Night

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton will start on Saturday versus the Grizzlies. With Mike Conley (rest) getting the night off, Sexton will make his first start of the season. The 23-year-old has struggled so far in 2022-23, averaging only 11.0 points while shooting 28.6% from behind the arc. However, he has a good chance of […]

Mike Conley Won't Play Against Grizzlies

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (rest) won't play on Saturday against Memphis. The veteran will get a routine night off with the team playing its second of back-to-back games. As a result, Collin Sexton will take his place. Sexton has averaged only 11.0 points, 3.0 boards, and 1.5 assists while shooting a disastrous 28.6% this […]

John Konchar Will Play On Saturday Night

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (shoulder) will play against the Jazz. The 26-year-old didn't play on Thursday versus the Sacramento Kings due to shoulder soreness. However, he is good to go and will be tasked with providing more firepower for a Grizzlies team that won't have Ja Morant (illness) on Saturday night

Ja Morant Out Against Utah

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (illness) won't play on Saturday against the Jazz. Morant is dealing with a non-COVID-related illness, so his next chance at suiting up will happen on Monday for the rematch with Utah. In the meantime, Tyus Jones will take his place, with the 26-year-old averaging 10.8 points, 6.6 points, and 2.8 […]

Bengals Defense Has Upside In Week 8

The Bengals defense hasn't been the most consistent group for fantasy managers in 2022-23. However, things look promising for the Monday night AFC North clash against the Browns. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett hasn't played the best this season, throwing for 1,584 yards, six touchdowns, and five picks while completing 62.7% of his throws. Although Cincy may […]

Evan McPherson May See More Action In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson wasn't needed during Sunday's win over Atlanta, as the 23-year-old didn't log a single field goal attempt. However, with Ja'Marr Chase (hip) unavailable for up to six weeks, McPherson could see more action if Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense struggle to adjust moving ahead. He is usually a must-start […]

Tee Higgins Has Big Shoes To Fill On Monday Night

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has played well this season, catching 31 passes for 455 yards and two touchdowns. With that said, the 23-year-old could be in store for a significant increase in production with Ja'Marr Chase out of the equation for up to six weeks. He's certainly up to the task. Yet, Chase's […]

Tyler Boyd Hoping To Thrive In Enhanced Role

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd will need to step things up in the wake of the injury to Ja'Marr Chase (hip), who will miss up to six weeks. The 28-year-old is up to the task, as he has shined when needed during his career. Boyd is coming off his best showing of the season, […]

Week 8 Team Defense Rankings for Fantasy Football: Colts DTS, Eagles DST, Broncos DST, Jets DST, Titans DST, 49ers DST, Cowboys DST

Week 8 features some juicy defensive opportunities, with the Cowboys squaring off with the offensively ineffective Chicago Bears. At the same time, the Jets hope to capitalize on the Patriots' quarterback woes, while the Eagles defense will face an inexperienced rookie signal-caller. There are other favorable matchups, so let's take a look at our updated […]

Khalil Herbert Remains Flex Option In Week 8

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert is expected to remain involved in Week 8 versus Dallas. Granted, he'll continue to split carries with David Montgomery, with both men combining for 27 attempts versus the Pats on Monday night. Yet, head coach Matt Eberflus indicated he'd continue utilizing both men's services, so the run game may […]

Cole Kmet Not A Fantasy Option On Sunday

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet has recorded only 12 catches for 148 yards this season. He also hasn't scored a touchdown. The 23-year-old was projected to have a breakout season in 2022-23. However, that hasn't happened, considering quarterback Justin Fields' lackluster play. With that said, he has no business starting on Sunday against an […]

Darnell Mooney Has Limited Upside On Sunday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney has played somewhat better recently than he did early in the 2022-23 campaign. With that said, the 24-year-old still hasn't found the end zone. While Mooney's upside remains higher than most, Justin Fields' underwhelming play this season won't do him any favors moving ahead. Considering Matt Eberflus has enjoyed […]

Keep Justin Fields Benched Versus Potent Cowboys D

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields hasn't had the breakout season most were expecting. The 23-year-old has thrown only five touchdowns while amassing six interceptions and completing just 55.9% of his attempts this season. He has been somewhat proficient on the run. However, with a potent Cowboys' defense on tap for Week 8, fantasy managers should […]

David Montgomery A Volatile Option In Week 8

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery logged 15 carries against the Patriots in Week 7. At the same time, Khalil Herbert had 12, resulting in head coach Matt Eberflus indicating that both men would be involved moving ahead. Fantasy managers should be concerned about the timeshare. However, while the setup certainly lowers the fantasy ceilings […]
