[…]

Damontae Kazee figures to […]

Chuba Hubbard To Start Over Miles Sanders

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is expected to have a larger role in the offense on Sunday versus the Houston Texans. According to Mike Kaye, not only will Hubbard see more touches, but he will also draw the start over Miles Sanders. It's an interesting development considering Carolina's commitment to Sanders in free agency […]

Jalen Ramsey Will Play Sunday, Xavien Howard Inactive

Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey (knee) is active for Week 8 against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity this past week, but the fact that Miami activated him from injured reserve on Saturday was a clear sign that he'd be able to suit up. All […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Active Over Tyquan Thornton

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) cleared protocol earlier this week and is officially active for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. His return has prompted the team to make fellow wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (coach's decision) inactive. While neither player is on the redraft radar, it's still news worth mentioning given the […]

Darren Waller Officially Active For Week 8

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) is officially active for Week 8 versus the New York Jets. The 31-year-old had been listed as questionable, but the expectation was that he would be able to suit up.

Raheem Mostert Active For Week 8

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable after logging two consecutive limited practices this past week.

Zack Moss Active For Week 8

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (elbow, heel) is officially active for Sunday's game versus the New Orleans Saints. The initial belief was that Moss, who had been listed as questionable, would be a true game-time decision. In the end, though, the Colts decided that he is healthy enough to play. The 25-year-old has been one of […]

Trevor Lawrence Active For Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had been listed as questionable, though the expectation was that he would be able to suit up. Indeed, the young signal-caller will play while wearing a knee brace, just like he did in Week 7 when he threw for 204 […]

Patrick Mahomes Has Illness, Will Play Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is dealing with an illness ahead of Week 8 versus the Denver Broncos, but it's not expected to impact his game status. Mahomes will still be active as Kansas City looks to increase its lead on the AFC West. This, of course, is great news for the Chiefs, fantasy […]

Zack Moss Expected To Play Sunday

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (elbow, heel) is expected to play in Week 8 versus the New Orleans Saints, per Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report. The initial belief was that he would be a true game-time decision, but Schultz's latest report suggests that Moss will play. The 25-year-old has been one of the NFL's […]

Daniel Jones Experiencing Left-Side Weakness

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) has experienced left-side weakness as a result of the injury he suffered back in Week 5 versus the Miami Dolphins, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. While the newly-extended quarterback isn't expected to be shut down for the season, New York will be patient considering the […]

Curtis Samuel Will Be Game-Time Decision In Week 8

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel (foot) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The talented veteran receiver has been listed as questionable, and although there is optimism about his status, the team wants to work him out pregame before making an official […]

Tyler Lockett Expected To Play Versus Browns

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 8 versus the Cleveland Browns despite being listed as questionable, head coach Pete Carroll said. The 31-year-old has been nothing more than a fantasy WR3 this season, totaling 27 catches, 289 yards, and two touchdowns through six games. Against a decent Browns […]

Robert Woods To Miss Several Weeks

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot), who has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, is expected to miss roughly two to three weeks, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Even with the bye week offering some time for him to recover, the veteran receiver is still on track to miss Weeks […]

Jerome Ford Wants To Play, Will Test Ankle Pregame

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (ankle) "wants and intends to play" versus the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8, but he'll need to be evaluated pregame before the team confirms his status. Diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain less than one week ago, it would be quite impressive to see Ford return without missing a game. […]

Trevor Lawrence Expected To Play In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (knee) is expected to play versus the Pittsburgh Steelers despite being listed as questionable, according to James Palmer of NFL Network. The young signal-caller will wear a knee brace, just like he did in Week 7 when he threw for 204 yards and one touchdown while adding a career-high 59 […]

T.J. Hockenson Will Play In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (foot) has been removed from the injury report and will play on Sunday versus the Green Bay Packers, per head coach Kevin O'Connell.

Chase Brown Won't Play In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 8 versus the San Francisco 49ers. The rookie had practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday before being downgraded to a non-participant on Friday.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) missed his third consecutive practice on Friday and has been ruled out for Week 8 versus the Atlanta Falcons.

Jeff Wilson Jr. To See More Touches In Week 8

Chad Ryland Belongs On Waivers In Week 8

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland should be avoided in all fantasy leagues ahead of Week 8 versus the Miami Dolphins. The rookie has been uninspiring this year due to underwhelming talent and the Patriots' limited success on offense. Just 8-for-12 on field goals through seven games, Ryland belongs on waivers.

Patriots Defense Faces Tough Week 8 Matchup

The New England Patriots' defense lacks fantasy appeal heading into Week 8 versus the Miami Dolphins. While New England found some success in its win over the Buffalo Bills last Sunday, the explosive Miami offense is a whole different beast. The Dolphins can beat team through the air with an elite connection between Tua Tagovailoa […]

Demario Douglas Could Have Key Role Versus Miami

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas should continue to play a significant role in the team's offensive approach on Sunday versus the Miami Dolphins. The rookie had his best game yet in Week 7, posting season-highs in catches (four), yards (54), and snap share (62 percent). He seemed to be the preferred option over […]

Kendrick Bourne Approaching WR2 Territory In Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne is quickly ascending as a valuable option in fantasy football, and he could reach the WR2 tier in a juicy Week 8 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The 28-year-old has 16 catches, 152 yards, and one touchdown over the last two weeks, ranking as the WR8 overall during […]

Ezekiel Elliott Avoidable Again In Week 8

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott should be avoided in most fantasy leagues ahead of Week 8 versus the Miami Dolphins. The veteran has delivered solid production in his last two games, but that's purely due to him finding the end zone twice. Putting your fantasy success in the hands of an aging, touchdown-dependent […]

Rhamondre Stevenson A Fringe RB2 In Week 8

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson ranks as a fringe top-24 option at his position heading into Sunday's clash with the Miami Dolphins. While Stevenson is coming off two strong weeks against the Raiders and Bills, he benefitted in those games from an approach that featured both the rushing and passing attacks. It's fair […]
