James Conner Will Not Face Vikings

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) will miss his third straight game after logging limited practices this week. The Cardinals will face Minnesota Sunday, and with Darrell Williams (knee) also banged up, it could be another big game for Eno Benjamin as the Cardinals' lead running back. Keontay Ingram can be used as a... Read More

Cam Akers To Be Held Out Again

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (personal) will be inactive for Week 8 after the team has expressed interest in trading him. It was reported that Akers has likely taken his last snap for the defending Super Bowl champions, so this comes as no surprise. Darrell Henderson is expected to be the lead back... Read More

Kenny Golladay Ruled Out For Week 8

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) will miss yet another game as the team heads into Seattle to face the Seahawks. Golladay's injury doesn't carry much significance since most fantasy managers have dropped him, but with Kadarius Toney headed to Kansas City via trade, his name could pop back up on the fantasy... Read More

Ryan Tannehill Questionable Against Texans

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is officially questionable for the Titans' Week 8 game against the Houston Texans. Tannehill was banged up in Week 7 and logged limited practices this week, so there's a real chance he could miss this game. If he's out, Malik Willis would make his first career start as a... Read More

Daniel Bellinger Has Return Timeline Of 2-6 Weeks

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger underwent successful surgery to correct fractures around his eye and has been given a 2-6 week timeline to return from the scary injury. That said, Bellinger can be dropped in most fantasy leagues, as there are probably better "IR spot" stashes in fantasy football right now. Bellinger's ceiling... Read More

David Njoku Not At Friday's Practice

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) was not spotted at practice Friday, and his availability for Monday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals is very much in doubt.

Jahan Dotson To Miss Fourth Straight Game

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jahan Dotson (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for the Week 8 game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Logan Thomas Questionable To Face Colts

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (calf) is questionable for the team's Week 8 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. Thomas has missed the past three games, so his return could mean a boost for Taylor Heinicke and the Washington offense. Although Thomas isn't a great option at tight end, he's on the fantasy radar with... Read More

Shaquille Leonard To Play Against Washington

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (concussion, nose) will play against the Washington Commanders in Week 8, marking just the second game he'll take part in during the 2022 season. Leonard will also be on a snap count, so he shouldn't be started in IDP formats. This is undoubtedly a boost for the Colts defense, but... Read More

Kwity Paye To Miss Another Game

Indianapolis Colts defensive end Kwity Paye (ankle) has been ruled out for the game against the Washington Commanders in Week 8. Paye has missed the last few weeks while dealing with an ankle injury, and the Colts' struggling defense will miss him once again.

Michael Badgley Has Wide Range Of Outcomes

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley's fantasy outlook is dependent on which version of the Jared Goff-led offensive attack shows up against Miami. However, the Lions have proven to take chances and be aggressive on fourth down, so he could bust even if the offense is potent. There's a scenario where he kicks a few field... Read More

Lions Defense Far From Fantasy Radar

The Detroit Lions defense has proven to be one of the worst units in the league through seven weeks of the regular season, so a matchup with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle spells bad news. Detroit's defense/special teams unit hasn't been playable all year long, so Week 8 is just more of the same. Even... Read More

Austin Hooper Has Low Ceiling In Week 8

Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper is not a great fantasy play in Week 8, even after having his best game of the season against the Indianapolis Colts last week. Houston is just a neutral matchup for tight ends, and with Ryan Tannehill (ankle) banged up, this will likely be a run-heavy and almost run-only... Read More

Titans Defense A Strong Week 8 Streamer

The Tennessee Titans defense picked off Colts quarterback Matt Ryan twice last week, returning one for a touchdown, and could be in line for another strong game against Houston.

Randy Bullock Not A Strong Option In Week 8

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock has delivered two solid fantasy performances in 2022, but with a projected point total of just 40.5 in this Titans-Texans contest, it's tough to project a high-upside week for the veteran kicker. Bullock could deliver if the Titans are stalled in the red zone a few times, but this game... Read More

Robert Woods Has Low Floor Versus Texans

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods has only had one fantasy-friendly performance thanks to grabbing a touchdown reception, and that appears to be his only path to fantasy relevance in Week 8. Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is banged up and since Houston allows the most rushing yards per game, this should be a Derrick Henry monster-touch... Read More

Derrick Henry Has Overall RB1 Ceiling

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is poised for a huge day in his first meeting with the AFC South-rival Houston Texans. In his last three games against Houston, Henry has rushed for 673 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging just over 7.6 yards per carry. In 2022, Houston has allowed the most rushing yards per...
