Yordan Alvarez The Odd Man Out In Game 3

Houston Astros rookie outfielder Yordan Alvarez is not in the starting lineup for Game 3 of the World Series against the Nationals on the road with the designated hitter no longer in play. Josh Reddick will stick in right field and will hit seventh on Friday against Nationals starter Anibal Sanchez. Alvarez took the league […]

Marquise Goodwin, Raheem Mostert Questionable

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) and running back Raheem Mostert (knee) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Panthers. Goodwin has been a complete non-factor this year with 11 catches (16 targets) for 181 yards and a touchdown in six games. He has just two catches on four targets […]

Jared Cook, Tre'Quan Smith Ruled Out

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (ankle) and wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) missed practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 8 against the Cardinals. Cook is missing his second straight game, while Smith hasn't suited up since Sept. 15. With Cook out, Josh Hill will be the team's top pass-catching […]

Alvin Kamara Questionable Against Cardinals

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) was limited the last two days in practice and is questionable for Week 8 against the Cardinals. Kamara sat out last week and could miss two straight games heading into the team's Week 9 bye. If he's playing, he's obviously a must-start, but he'd be at risk […]

Emmanuel Sanders To Play A Lot In Debut

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that newly acquired wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders will play "a lot" in his team debut in Week 8 against the Panthers. It could just be coach speak, as Sanders had very little time to learn and digest the team's playbook after coming over in a trade from […]

Michael Badgley Won't Play In Week 8

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that kicker Michael Badgley (groin), who is questionable for Week 8 against the Bears, won't play on Sunday. Chase McLaughlin will get his fourth start at kicker but should be avoided in fantasy for a struggling offense in a tough matchup on the road in the Windy […]

Keenan Allen Will Be Limited If He Plays

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring), who will be a game-time decision in Week 8 against the Bears, will have his snaps limited during the game if he's active, according to head coach Anthony Lynn. If Allen can't play, Geremy Davis likely would start in his place alongside Mike Williams. Allen is a […]

Davante Adams Doubtful For Sunday Night

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) didn't practice all week and is doubtful for Week 8 against the Chiefs on Sunday night. Continue to leave Adams to your fantasy benches for at least another week. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers spread the ball out to all of his weapons in Week 7, making it tough […]

Julian Edelman, Rex Burkhead Questionable For Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Browns despite practicing on a limited basis this week. Edelman is often questionable on the injury report, but he ultimately plays. He'll remain in play as a strong WR2 in PPR […]

Ryan Izzo, Matt LaCosse Out Against Browns

New England Patriots tight ends Ryan Izzo (concussion) and Matt LaCosse (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 8 against the Browns. Watson had three catches for 18 yards in his season debut against the Jets on Monday night and will remain the starter at the position with both Izzo and LaCosse out. The […]

Jack Doyle Questionable For Week 8

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (groin) was limited in practice on Friday and is now questionable for Week 8 against the Broncos. Doyle has been playing second fiddle to Eric Ebron all year long and has 17 receptions for 149 yards and just one touchdown in six games for the Colts. Doyle hasn't caught […]

Christian Kirk Will Be Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Week 8 against the Saints, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Kirk is off the fantasy radar after not having played since Sept. 29 against the Seahawks. He hasn't done much other than a six-catch, 114-yard game on Sept. 15 against the […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Starting Friday, Howie Kendrick On The Bench

Washington Nationals infielder Asdrubal Cabrera is starting at second base and is hitting fifth against Astros starter Zack Greinke in Game 3 of the World Series on Friday. Howie Kendrick will start this game on the bench. Cabrera, a switch-hitter, has hit just .222 (4-for-18) in the postseason this year, but he has a better […]

Darius Slay Ruled Out Against Giants

Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Giants. The Giants passing game will actually have a pretty decent chance to put up numbers against Detroit's secondary without Slay in the fold. Golden Tate will be quarterback Daniel Jones' preferred target in the middle of the field, and […]

Breshad Perriman Will Return In Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman (hamstring) practiced in full all week and was taken off the final injury report for Week 8 against the Titans. Perriman will see the field for the first time since Sept. 29 against the Rams. The 26-year-old hasn't become a fixture in this offense, catching just three passes […]

Jaylen Samuels, James Washington Could Return

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels (knee) and wide receiver James Washington (shoulder) have both practiced in full the last two days and could return on Monday night against the Dolphins. Both Samuels and Washington could return to action this week. Samuels would return to his backup role behind James Conner, although he could see […]

DeSean Jackson, Darren Sproles, Jason Peters Out

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen), running back Darren Sproles (quadriceps) and left tackle Jason Peters (knee) have all been ruled out for Week 8 against the Bills after missing practice all week. Jackson hasn't played since Week 2 and is without a timetable to return. The absence of his field-stretching prowess is really […]

Delanie Walker Ruled Out For Week 8

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Buccaneers. Walker aggravated the ankle injury that kept him out all season in 2018, so he might miss multiple weeks. The aging tight end often plays through injuries, but this one is a little more serious. He's droppable in […]

Josh Jacobs Expected To Play Sunday

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden expects rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) to play in Week 8 against the Texans. Jacobs will be listed as questionable on the final injury report, but he's expected to give it a go against Houston on the road. The rookie has been exceptional this year and has seen […]

Drew Brees Still In Play For Week 8

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton has declined to name a starting quarterback for Week 8 against the Cardinals. Drew Brees (thumb) was limited in practice on Thursday and isn't being ruled out over Teddy Bridgewater just yet. It wouldn't be a surprise if the Saints hold Brees out another week with their bye […]

Chiefs Defense Won't Have Chris Jones, Frank Clark

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) and defensive end Frank Clark (neck) have both been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Packers. It's a big loss for the Chiefs defensive front and great news for Packers running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams. Jones should be considered a must-start in this […]

Sammy Watkins Will Play Against Packers

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) will play on Sunday night against the Packers in Week 8. Watkins will make his first start since Sept. 29 against the Lions. Aside from his 198-yard, three-touchdown outlier in Week 1, Watkins didn't top 64 yards in his other three […]

Keenan Allen, Michael Badgley Questionable

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) and kicker Michael Badgley (groin) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Bears. Allen suffered a mid-week injury and missed practice both Thursday and Friday, so he's in serious danger of missing Sunday's game or being limited. Allen will be a bust candidate against […]

Chris Herndon IV Unlikely To Play In Week 8

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) will be limited in practice again on Friday, but the New York Post's Brian Costello thinks it's doubtful that Herndon will play in Week 8 against the Jaguars. Herndon has yet to make his season debut after a suspension and after tweaking his hamstring while practicing […]

Davante Adams Not Fully Recovered

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) said his toe isn't fully recovered yet, but he's feeling a lot better. "I’m a little limited right now," Adams said, "but for the most part I can do a lot of different footwork stuff. It’s just the full-speed routes right now that are a little tougher […]

David Johnson A Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said that running back David Johnson (ankle, back) will likely be a game-time decision in Week 8 against the Saints. Johnson was active last week but played just two snaps and saw Chase Edmonds rack up yardage and three touchdowns against the Giants. Johnson is shaping up to be […]

Adam Thielen Expected Back In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer expects wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) to return in Week 9 against the Chiefs. Thielen was held out as a precaution in Thursday night's win over the Redskins. Expect Thielen to return to a great matchup that could be a shootout with the Chiefs if Patrick Mahomes (knee) is […]

Tyrell Williams Expected To Return In Week 8

Oakland Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Olson said that wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) "looked good yesterday and followed it up with another good day today. So, we're excited to get him back." It sounds like the Raiders expect Williams to return this Sunday against the Texans for the first time since Week 4. The first-year […]

Parris Campbell Has Good Chance To Play

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said he thinks there's a good chance that rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell (abdomen) will play in Week 8 against the Broncos. Campbell has been out since Week 4 and has only 10 catches (13 targets) for 62 yards and a touchdown in his four games this season. He […]

Duke Williams Questionable For Week 8

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Duke Williams (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 8 against the Eagles. As the team's No. 3 wideout, Williams has just five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown in two games this year. He can't be trusted in fantasy starting lineups just yet, even […]
