Biggest Week 8 Busts: Fantasy Football Reactions for Josh Jacobs, Daniel Jones, Davante Adams, Gave Davis, Tyler Higbee

The eighth NFL Sunday of the 2022 season has come and gone. Hopefully, you woke up on Monday morning feeling very good about how your week went. However, this week's slate of games was certainly stress-inducing for many fantasy football managers. Part of that stress was caused by a group of players who drastically underachieved […]

Dolphins Defense Underwhelms In Shootout

The Miami Dolphins' defense underwhelmed during Sunday's shootout win versus the Detroit Lions. Although Jared Goff turned the football over four times last week, he looked better this Sunday, tossing one touchdown and zero interceptions. This Miami unit, which logged just one sack courtesy of Zach Sieler, is no longer fantasy relevant heading into Week […]

Jason Sanders Successful In Win Over Lions

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders went 4-for-4 on extra points during Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions. He also converted his lone field-goal attempt, connecting from 45 yards out. Although Sanders struggled earlier this season, he finds himself back on the fantasy radar after kicking quite reliably and accurately. His role in the Dolphins' high-scoring […]

Trent Sherfield Gets Involved During Sunday's Win

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Trent Sherfield hauled in two of three targets for 25 yards against the Detroit Lions in Week 8. His role in Miami's offense has progressively increased, and it's safe to say that he has surpassed Cedrick Wilson Jr. as the team's No. 3 receiver. He has some DFS and betting appeal […]

Mike Gesicki Catches Another Touchdown Pass

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki hauled in three of four targets for 38 yards and one touchdown against the Detroit Lions in Week 8. He has 18 catches, 144 yards, and three touchdowns over the course of his last three games, vaulting him into the mid-range TE2 tier ahead of next week's clash versus […]

Jaylen Waddle Racks Up 106 Yards, Two Touchdowns

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle hauled in eight of nine targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's big win over the Detroit Lions. The second-year wideout has looked quite flashy in a surging offense that also features star receiver Tyreek Hill. Together, Hill and Waddle form an otherworldly one-two punch that gives […]

Tyreek Hill Explodes For 12 Catches And 188 Yards

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill hauled in 12 of 14 targets for 188 yards against the Detroit Lions during Sunday's back-and-forth blowout. The star wideout continues to look like one of the flashiest players in football and should be started in every league on a weekly basis. Fantasy managers should continue to view Hill […]

Chase Edmonds Logs Just Four Touches Sunday

Miami Dolphins running back Chase Edmonds rushed four times for 14 yards against the Detroit Lions in Week 8. He was not involved in the passing game. Edmonds' role has steadily declined throughout the season, and he should now be dropped in most fantasy leagues. If Miami trades for a running back in the next […]

Raheem Mostert Held In Check Versus Lions

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert rushed 14 times for just 64 yards against the Detroit Lions in Week 8. He also turned his lone target into a three-yard reception. Mostert has taken over as Miami's clear lead back, but his volume is still somewhat inconsistent due to the team's pass-heavy nature. He should remain […]

Tua Tagovailoa Drops 382 Yards In Big Win Over Lions

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 29 of 36 passes for 382 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions against the Detroit Lions in Week 8. He added 19 rushing yards along the way. Tagovailoa looked fantastic, completing passes to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle while leading numerous scoring drives. Fantasy managers should continue to view […]

Jauan Jennings Inactive In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been a solid contributor for the first seven weeks, amassing 14 catches and 180 yards. With both Jennings and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) sidelined, Brandon Aiyuk and Ray-Ray McCloud rank as the Niners' top […]

Mark Ingram II Downgraded To Out In Week 8

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II (knee) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. With the Saints holding a large lead, they evidently decided that there was no need to rush Ingram back into action. He caught one pass for two yards before exiting. […]

DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett Active For Week 8

Seattle Seahawks wide receivers DK Metcalf (knee) and Tyler Lockett (hamstring, ribs) are officially active for Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Metcalf has impressed this season, catching 31 passes for 318 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, Lockett has amassed 41 catches, 468 yards, and two scores of his own. Both players should be […]

Logan Thomas Active, Dyami Brown Inactive For Week 8

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Meanwhile, wide receiver Dyami Brown (groin) is inactive. Thomas is slated to suit up for the first time since Week 4 when he caught five passes for 19 yards. He ranks as a mid-to-low TE2 in fantasy football this […]

DeVante Parker Downgraded To Out In Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 8 versus the New York Jets. He exited during the first drive and was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded. The 29-year-old has totaled seven catches for 132 yards over the course of his last two games, […]

Brandin Cooks Active In Week 8

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (wrist) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. He had been listed as questionable. The veteran wideout has generated some interest in the trade market after fetching 28 receptions for 281 yards and one score over the first six weeks of the season. He falls into […]

Mark Ingram II Questionable To Return In Week 8

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II (knee) is questionable to return against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon. He caught one pass for two yards before exiting. If the veteran back is unable to return, Dwayne Washington and Taysom Hill should operate behind Alvin Kamara in the rushing attack.

DeVante Parker Questionable To Return In Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (knee) is questionable to return against the New York Jets in Week 8. He suffered the injury during New England's first drive of the game. The 29-year-old has totaled seven catches for 132 yards over the course of his last two games. If he can't return, Tyquan Thornton […]

Joe Flacco Inactive In Week 8

New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. The veteran racked up 901 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions through the first three games of the season before Zach Wilson returned to the lineup. Now, it appears Flacco has lost his backup job to Mike […]

Myles Gaskin A Healthy Scratch Once Again

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. The 25-year-old has logged offensive snaps in just one game this season (back in Week 5) and has absolutely no fantasy relevance. He should be left on waivers in all leagues, including dynasty formats.

Xavien Howard Suiting Up Sunday

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (groin) is active for Week 8 against the Detroit Lions. He had been listed as questionable after closing out the week with limited participation in practice. The 29-year-old has registered 20 tackles through six games and figures to be the centerpiece of Miami's secondary once again Sunday.

Devine Ozigbo Elevated Saturday, Will Play In Week 8

Denver Broncos running back Devine Ozigbo was elevated from the practice squad this weekend. He is officially active for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, putting him in line to serve as the Broncos' No. 3 back behind Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray. Ozigbo last played in Week 5, rushing for two yards […]

Browns Willing To Trade Kareem Hunt

The Cleveland Browns are willing to grant Kareem Hunt's trade request, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Hunt initially asked to be traded this past summer, and while the Browns refused to entertain offers at the time, it appears their stance has changed just in time for the trade deadline on Tuesday. Cleveland "would rather […]

Ezekiel Elliott Not Expected To Play Sunday

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is not expected to be active for the team's Week 8 contest against the Chicago Bears, according to ESPN.com's Adam Schefter. This comes as no surprise after Elliott missed practice all week long and was listed as doubtful heading into the weekend. In his absence, Tony Pollard will […]

Cam Akers Likely Won't Be Released

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (personal) is not expected to be released, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Therefore, if the team fails to trade him, they expect him to play later in the regular season. Akers was inactive in Week 6 and is not expected to play in Week 8, either. Through five […]

Chase Claypool Unlikely To Be Traded

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool is not expected to be traded ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. As NFL.com's Ian Rapoport writes, "To deal a young weapon who could help rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett, it would have to be perfect. No team is close to that yet." He adds that "barring a dramatic change, it […]

Albert Okwuegbunam, Marlon Mack Inactive For Week 8

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam and running back Marlon Mack are both healthy scratches for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Okwuegbunam has now been inactive for three straight games. He has just seven catches for 50 yards this season and is a candidate to be traded or released at the upcoming […]

Jamal Agnew Inactive For Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jamal Agnew (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos in London. He had been listed as questionable after logging three limited practice sessions this past week. Agnew, who has primarily returned kickoffs and punts, has seven catches, 78 receiving yards, and two touchdowns through his first six games. […]

Brandin Cooks Expected To Play In Week 8

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (wrist) is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Cooks popped up on the injury report on Friday, and although he remained a full participant in practice, the team listed him as questionable heading into the weekend. The veteran wideout […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Will Play In Week 8

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (head) has cleared concussion protocol and will be active for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. He had been listed as questionable, but that designation was merely a placeholder as the team waited for him to clear protocol. St. Brown enjoyed an elite […]
