Marvin Hall Leads Lions In Receiving

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Hall caught four passes for a team-high 113 yards in Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts, including catching a huge 73-yarder at one point. He was targeted seven times. With Kenny Golladay exiting with a hip injury, Hall wound up playing a larger role than anticipated. If Golladay is unable […]

Zach Pascal Leads Messy Receiving Corps Against Lions

The Indianapolis Colts might have a wide receiver problem, in that they have a lot of them and it's tough to figure out their production each week. Against the Lions on Sunday, Zach Pascal finished with the most receiving yards of the team's wide receivers, catching three passes for 44 yards. Marcus Johnson added two […]

Nyheim Hines Catches Pair Of Touchdowns

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines might be turning into the Colts version of Austin Ekeler for quarterback Philip Rivers. On Sunday against the Lions, he had just five carries for eight yards, but added three receptions for 54 and a pair of touchdowns. Hines has seen his passing game production beat his run game […]

Philip Rivers Tosses Three Touchdowns Against Lions

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers got off to a rocky start to 2020, throwing just four touchdown passes in his first five games. But he's turned things around, posting his second consecutive three-touchdown game on Sunday as the Colts defeated the Detroit Lions. Rivers was 23-for-33 for 262 yards along with those three scores. He […]

Jordan Wilkins Nearly Doubles Jonathan Taylor's Carries

Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins had 20 carries for 89 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions. He also added a 24-yard reception. This usage was a major surprise as Jonathan Taylor was expected to serve as the team's lead back, but Taylor received just 11 carries, turning them into […]

Justin Jefferson Quiet Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson had a pretty quiet Week 8 outing against the Green Bay Packers. The rookie was targeted just four times, catching three passes for 26 yards. With how well Dalvin Cook was running the football, Minnesota didn't need to throw much. That'll happen sometimes, giving Jefferson a fairly low floor, […]

Kirk Cousins Doesn't Need To Do Much In Victory

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins didn't need to do much in Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers, as running back Dalvin Cook's 30 carries helped lead the Vikings to the victory. Cousins attempted just 14 passes, completing 11 of them for 160 yards and a touchdown. He was sacked once. This Vikings team isn't […]

Robert Tonyan Leads Packers In Receiving Yards

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan caught five passes for a team-high 79 yards in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings. His seven targets were second on the team to Davante Adams. The Packers have struggled to find pass catchers with Allen Lazard sidelined, but his impending return likely cuts into Tonyan's targets just […]

Jamaal Williams Tops 100 Scrimmage Yards

With Aaron Jones (calf) out again, Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams ran the ball 16 times for 75 yards in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He also added six receptions for 27 yards. Williams' fantasy outlook moving forward is closely tied to the availability of Jones, as he's a solid RB2 play […]

George Kittle Will Have MRI Monday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle will have an MRI on his foot on Monday. While head coach Kyle Shanahan says that initial X-rays to Kittle's foot showed no fractures, the fact that Kittle is getting an MRI seems like potential bad news for his short term availability. Should Kittle miss time, Ross Dwelley […]

Jalen Reagor, Dallas Goedert Active

The Philadelphia Eagles will receive a nice boost on Sunday night against the Dallas as wide receiver Jalen Reagor (thumb) and tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) will both be active. With injuries to many of the other key receiving options in Philadelphia and the Dallas secondary being inexperienced, both players have chances to be key […]

Two Cardinals Players Test Positive For COVID-19

Two Arizona Cardinals players tested positive for COVID-19 during the team's bye week. The team's facility has been closed for deep cleaning. The team is expected to practice on Monday. It's too early to know if this puts next week's Cardinals/Dolphins game is in jeopardy, but it's something worth monitoring.

Adam Humphries Out With Concussion

After being carted into the locker room on Sunday against the Bengals, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Adam Humphries has been ruled out with a concussion. Humphries finishes the game without a reception. With Humphries out, Kalif Raymond should see more work in this Titans offense, which has struggled so far in this game as they […]

T.Y. Hilton Out With Groin Injury

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton won't return to Sunday's game against the Lions with a groin injury. Hilton finishes with two catches for nine yards. The veteran receiver continues to struggle when he's on the field. We'll have to see if this injury keeps him out going forward, but if Hilton does miss time, […]

Phillip Lindsay Active For Week 8

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (concussion) has been cleared to play Sunday against the Chargers and will be active. Lindsay outplayed Melvin Gordon II last week and should see a good number of touches against the Chargers this week, though the split carries in this backfield limits Lindsay's ceiling. Consider him a high-end RB3 […]

Matt Judon Ejected On Sunday

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Matt Judon made contact with an official in Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and has been ejected from the game. The Steelers offense has struggled to get things going all day, but Judon not being on the field for the entire second half could deliver some positive results for quarterback Ben […]

Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde, Travis Homer All Likely Out

It's looking like a DeeJay Dallas day for the Seahawks. Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports that the Seattle Seahawks won't have three of their running backs this week, with Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde, and Travis Homer all likely out. That leaves Dallas as the only real running back option on this team. His projected share […]

Ronnie Stanley Carted Off Field

Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley is being carted off the field with what appears to be a left leg injury. One of the best offensive linemen in the NFL, the Ravens rushing attack will take a hit if Stanley is out long term with this injury. We're unlikely to know much more before the […]

Cam Dantzler Carted Off Field

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Cam Dantzler was carted off the field on Sunday against the Packers. The team says Dantzler has a neck injury and is being evaluated for a concussion. It was a scary hit and a scary moment for Dantzler, whose long term health should be the main concern right now.

Jalen Ramsey Exits Week 8 With Illness

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams due to an illness. During a season marred by COVID-19, any illness issue is concerning, so hopefully we get some clarity on this situation soon. If Ramsey is unable to return, the Dolphins offense should have some increased production […]

NFL Executives Expect Trevor Lawrence To Enter Draft

Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence has recently made comments about staying for his senior year, but multiple NFL executives believe Lawrence will declare for the draft following this season. Lawrence -- who missed Saturday's game after being diagnosed with COVID-19 and will miss next week's game against Notre Dame -- is the clear favorite to go […]

Patriots Will Focus On Run With Cam Newton, Others Against Bills

With their top two wide receivers out and the wind swirling, the New England Patriots reportedly plan to focus on their run game Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. That should mean a lot of rushes for quarterback Cam Newton and running backs Damien Harris, Rex Burkhead, and James White. Newton and Harris should benefit the […]

Corey Davis Has Upside Against Bengals

In Week 7, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis caught six passes for 35 yards and a touchdown. His yardage totals have been inconsistent all year, but Davis is getting looks and has scored a touchdown in half of his games. He's an interesting WR4 play in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals whose role […]

Marquise Brown Has Tough Week 8 Matchup

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown faces a tough matchup with the Steelers Defense in Week 8. Brown has just one touchdown reception this year and has been shut down at times, like in Week 3 against the Chiefs when he had just two receptions. But Brown has been targeted at least six times in […]

Trent Brown, Bryan Edwards Inactive For Week 8

Las Vegas Raiders right tackle Trent Brown has been activated off of the COVID list, but it appears the team wants to wait another week before getting him back on the field. This will make things tougher for the Raiders in this contest, as Brown's a key part of their offensive line. Wide receiver Bryan […]

Gardner Minshew II Expected To Miss Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II (thumb) is not expected to play next week when the Jaguars take on the Houston Texans. Minshew was already in danger of being benched before his thumb injury, so there's a good chance we're done with Minshew at this point. It's unclear if Mike Glennon or rookie Jake Luton […]

Jordan Howard Healthy Scratch In Week 8

Miami Dolphins running back Jordan Howard will miss Sunday's meeting with the Rams and is a healthy scratch for the third consecutive game. Howard's future in the league appears to be in doubt as he can't crack the active roster in Miami. Myles Gaskin will get goal-line opportunities again with Howard out and is a […]

Diontae Johnson Officially Active For Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (toe) is officially playing against the Ravens on Sunday. Johnson has been the No. 1 wide receiver in Pittsburgh when healthy this season and we see no reason why that should change this week. The Ravens are a tough matchup, but Johnson is a solid WR2/3 play any time […]

Sam Ficken Inactive, Sergio Castillo To Kick

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken (groin) is out for the team's Week 8 meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. Sergio Castillo will serve as the kicker. Against this Chiefs team, the Jets shouldn't have many scoring chances, so there's no reason to rush out and pick up Castillo to be your fantasy kicker.

Mason Crosby Will Play Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby (calf/back) will play on Sunday against the Vikings. Crosby is a reliable kicker who has made all nine of his field goal attempts this season, though there's reason to be worried about starting a kicker in fantasy who isn't at 100 percent this week. Factor in that most of […]
