T.J. Hockenson Racks Up 80 Yards

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson caught three of his four targets for 80 yards in the 31-27 loss to the Miami Dolphins. It wasn't an eye-popping fantasy performance, but in PPR leagues, it was enough to make him a solid Week 8 play at the position. The Lions offense might finally be back to […]

Jamaal Williams Finds End Zone Twice

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams handled 13 total touches for 76 yards and two rushing touchdowns in the loss to the Miami Dolphins. D'Andre Swift came back and handled 10 touches, but Williams remained the primary goal line option. Ultimately, Swift's return to health limits Williams' weekly ceiling, but he's still a strong flex […]

D'Andre Swift Catches Touchdown In Return

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift handled five rushes and five receptions for a total of 33 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Miami Dolphins. It was predictable that he'd have a limited workload in his first game back from his shoulder injury since Week 3, but he delivered in PPR leagues […]

Jared Goff Throws For 321 Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 27 of his 37 passing attempts for 321 yards and one touchdown in the 31-27 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He had a nice day with zero interceptions, but failing to throw more than one touchdown capped his fantasy output. That said, the Lions' offense looked explosive for the […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports for TEs: Darren Waller, Dalton Schultz, Juwan Johnson, Pat Freiermuth, David Njoku, Logan Thomas

Week 8 sees tight ends Travis Kelce and Gerald Everett out of action on a bye, so injuries will affect who to start and who to sit in fantasy football. These are the latest injury updates as of Friday, October 29 for tight ends Darren Waller, Dalton Schultz, Juwan Johnson, Pat Freiermuth, David Njoku, and […]

Kalif Raymond A Deep-League Flex Option

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond has fantasy appeal, even with Amon-Ra St. Brown (concussion) expected to play against the Dolphins. DJ Chark (ankle) has been placed on Injured Reserve, so Raymond will serve as the Lions' WR3 behind Josh Reynolds for the time being. Miami allows a ton of fantasy points to wideouts and […]

Jamaal Williams Back To A Flex Play In Week 8

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams will be rejoined by D'Andre Swift in the backfield, so his ceiling is capped, and he might return to being just a touchdown-or-bust flex play. That said, Detroit's offense should get back on track in a favorable matchup, so Williams has touchdown upside. There's also a chance Swift's touches […]

T.J. Hockenson Remains A Must-Start

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson is a strong TE1 candidate in a matchup with the seventh-worst defense against fantasy tight ends. Miami has given up a ton of receiving yards and touchdowns to wideouts and tight ends, so all notable Lions' pass-catchers are in a good spot this week. Hockenson's floor and ceiling are […]

Josh Reynolds A Solid Flex Play Versus Miami

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (knee) practiced in full on Friday and will play against the Miami Dolphins. Since Amon-Ra St. Brown (concussion) is expected to play, Reynolds' ceiling is limited just a bit. However, Miami has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wideouts, so Reynolds is a strong flex option in leagues of […]

Jared Goff Is Boom-Or-Bust In Week 8

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff exploded in fantasy football to begin the season, but after two straight games without a touchdown, he's back to a boom-or-bust play. The Lions face the Miami Dolphins, who struggle mightily against quarterbacks, wide receivers, and tight ends, so Goff could be in for a huge bounce-back performance. D'Andre Swift […]

Malik Willis Could Start Against Texans

Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis will make his first NFL start against the Houston Texans if Ryan Tannehill (ankle) has to miss the game. Tannehill is officially questionable, so Willis is worth picking up in two-quarterback/superflex leagues ahead of Sunday. While Willis wouldn't likely attempt a ton of passes, he might have a solid floor […]

Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry Ruled Out Again

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) will both miss yet another game, this time against the Las Vegas Raiders. This means Chris Olave remains a must-start, while Tre'Quan Smith and Rashid Shaheed will be deep league boom-or-bust flex plays. Las Vegas has struggled against the pass this season, and […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. Since Njoku was seen wearing a walking boot after the loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7, there have been conflicting reports of how long […]

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. Dotson flashed with four touchdowns in his first four NFL games but has been sidelined ever since. Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel should continue to be peppered with targets, while Logan Thomas (ankle) […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. View the Colts fantasy defense/special teams unit as a boom-or-bust option […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. The Titans pass rush is coming alive and its secondary is starting to settle in. Ultimately, the positive outlook is based on a poor and ineffective […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For Week 8 (Friday Updates): Ja'Marr Chase, DK Metcalf, D'Andre Swift, James Conner, Darren Waller

There are some big-name fantasy cornerstones banged up heading into Sunday, so our injury updates and reports for Week 8 as of Friday, October 28, 2022, will get you up to date on the latest news surrounding key players. As always, some players have more "real" risk to miss Week 8, but things change quickly, […]
