New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the division-rival Bills.

Frank Gore Questionable To Face Chiefs

New York Jets running back Frank Gore (hand) is listed as questionable to play in Week 8 against the Chiefs. Gore was limited in practice on both Wednesday and Friday but sat out on Thursday.

Brandon McManus On The Streaming Radar In Week 8

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus never had a chance to deliver for fantasy managers in Week 7 against the Chiefs in snowy conditions.

Jerry Jeudy Could See More Targets In Week 8

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy showed up on the team's Week 8 injury report with a shoulder injury, but he practiced in full all week and is good to go for Sunday against the Chargers.

Tim Patrick Receives Questionable Tag

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (hamstring) missed practice all week but is considered questionable for Week 8 against the Chargers.
