Ke'Shawn Vaughn A Healthy Scratch In Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Saints. Last week was the first time Vaughn had seen offensive snaps this year, as he was on the field for eight plays and got his first five carries of the season. There's no fantasy value for Vaughn in […]

Deonte Harris Active For Week 8

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Harris didn't play last week, but has been a decent player when healthy, with three games with at least 50 receiving yards, including his one-catch, 72-yard touchdown showing in Week 5 before he exited the game. There's […]

Calvin Ridley Stepping Away From Football

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley was inactive on Sunday for personal reasons, but he put out an announcement on Twitter on Sunday afternoon to say that he is going to "step away from football at this time." Ridley added he is going to "focus on [his] mental well-being." It's unclear how long Ridley will […]

Austin Ekeler Active, Joshua Kelley Out

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hip) is active for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, while Joshua Kelley is a healthy scratch. With Ekeler active for the Chargers on the real football field, he should be active for fantasy managers in all formats because of his immense upside. Consider him a high-end RB1 as […]

Alex Collins Active For Week 8

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins (groin) is active for the team's Week 8 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. After carrying the ball 16 times last week while banged up, it should be expected that Collins will see the bulk of the work this week over Rashaad Penny, making him an RB2 option against a […]

Tutu Atwell Questionable To Return

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. The rookie has mainly served as a kick returner this season, with just 10 offensive snaps all year, so there's not much fantasy impact to an Atwell injury, unless you're in a league with kick return […]

Chris Boswell Out With Concussion

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns. Punter Pressley Harvin will serve as the kicker for the rest of the game, but don't expect to see the team kick very much, if at all. The team has already chosen to go for two […]

Rob Gronkowski Will Play Against Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) will be active for Sunday's meeting with the New Orleans Saints after missing the past four games. Gronkowski was looking like his old self earlier in the season, with four touchdowns over the first two weeks of the season. It's unclear if Gronk will get a full […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Active, J.J. Taylor Inactive

The New England Patriots continue to play musical chairs with the team's running backs, as Rhamondre Stevenson is active for Week 8 while J.J. Taylor is a healthy scratch despite scoring a pair of touchdowns last week. It appears that New England is just going to continue to decide on game day who out of […]

Chris Boswell Questionable To Return

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell is being evaluated for a concussion after taking a hit on a fake field goal. If Boswell is unable to return, punter Pressley Harvin will take over kicking duties, but expect the Steelers to look to free agency for a Boswell replacement if he is concussed and has to miss […]

Jalen Reagor Out, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Questionable

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions, while wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (ankle) is questionable to return. The Eagles won't have a lot of weapons at receiver, so expect to see a little more of Quez Watkins and Greg Ward, but also don't be shocked to […]

Broncos Defense Won't Have Von Miller In Week 8

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller (ankle) won't play against the Washington Football Team on Sunday. Miller suffered the ankle injury last week and wanted to play in Week 8, but the team's medical staff decided to keep Miller off the field to be safe. Miller has 4.5 sacks and nine quarterback hits this season. His […]

Damien Williams Questionable To Return Against 49ers

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers. Williams opened the year as the backup for David Montgomery and now is serving as the backup for rookie Khalil Herbert. Williams had two carries for a loss of three yards before exiting on Sunday. If he's unable […]

Jack Conklin Carted Off The Field Sunday

Cleveland Browns right tackle Jack Conklin was carted off the field on Sunday against the Steelers with an apparent arm/wrist injury. Blake Hance has come into the game at right tackle to relieve Conklin, who missed the previous two games with a knee injury. Against this Steelers front, not having a player as good as […]

Jalen Reagor Questionable To Return In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. Reagor has a zero-yard reception, as well as two carries for 21 yards in the game, but was carted to the locker room. The second-year wideout is a key piece of a shallow receiving corps — if […]

Tape Tells All: Patrick Mahomes' Sudden Breakdown

Welcome back to Tape Tells All, the weekly-ish series where I look at film for something that happened in the NFL this week. Patrick Mahomes is bad now. Alright, not bad, but he definitely doesn't look like vintage Patrick Mahomes right now. There's a lot of things that factor into that. Let's see if we can […]

Robert Tonyan Exits With Knee Injury

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan (knee) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. The injury looked fairly significant, and Tonyan's fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised to see Tonyan miss time. He had three catches for 49 yards in this game before exiting. If he does indeed miss time, Marcedes […]

Kylin Hill Carted Off The Field Thursday

Green Bay Packers running back Kylin Hill was carted off the field with an apparent knee injury during the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Cardinals. Hill was injured on a kickoff return. Amari Rodgers would see more opportunities as a kick returner if Hill misses time. As for the running back position, Hill […]

DeAndre Hopkins Returns To Thursday's Game

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) missed over a quarter of Thursday's game against the Packers with a hamstring injury, but has returned to the game in the third quarter. Hopkins had one catch in the first half before exiting. The Cardinals struggled to move the ball without Hopkins, proving how important the star […]

DeAndre Hopkins Questionable To Return Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Green Bay Packers. The star wideout has one catch for 55 yards in the game so far. If he's unable to return, expect to see more of Rondale Moore, A.J. Green, and Christian Kirk, though none have the upside […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 8

Another week of NFL action is behind us. Are there any players left on the waiver wire wasteland? Let's find out. Below, you'll find some wideouts that you should be targeting on the waiver wire ahead of Week 8. Not all options are the same. Some players may be better in PPR or deeper leagues, […]

Patrick Mahomes Helped Off The Field

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (head) took a hard hit to the head/neck area late in Sunday's game against the Titans and had to be helped off of the field. Mahomes was later seen walking around on the sidelines, so the injury might not be as bad as it looks, but Chad Henne will likely […]

Sam Darnold Benched In Week 7

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold has been benched in the second half of the team's Week 7 contest against the Giants. He was 16-for-25 for 111 yards and an interception. At one point this year, Darnold led the NFL in rushing touchdowns, but his early success has vanished, as he's thrown seven picks in the […]

Peyton Barber A Healthy Scratch Again

Las Vegas Raiders running back Peyton Barber is a healthy scratch once again, making this the third week in a row that Barber won't be in the lineup. He's clearly only on this roster to be an emergency play if either Josh Jacobs or Kenyan Drake are injured. The Raiders will also be without tight […]

O.J. Howard Will Play In Week 7

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (ankle) is active for Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bears. With Rob Gronkowski (lung/ribs) out, Howard should see an uptick in usage this week. He's coming off a strong showing, with six catches for 49 yards and a touchdown last week. Fantasy managers looking for a late window […]
