Travis Homer Activated From Injured Reserve

Seattle Seahawks running back Travis Homer (ribs) has been activated from injured reserve and is expected to be active for Week 8 against the New York Giants. Homer underwhelmed while filling a depth role earlier in the season, but he was playing behind Rashaad Penny and Kenneth Walker III at the time. Not only is […]

T.J. Watt Won't Play In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers pass rusher T.J. Watt (pectoral, knee) was not activated from injured reserve and therefore will not play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN. Watt has been out since Week 1 when he totaled one sack, one interception, and six tackles. The Steelers still have more than […]

Bengals Defense Has Upside In Week 8

The Bengals defense hasn't been the most consistent group for fantasy managers in 2022-23. However, things look promising for the Monday night AFC North clash against the Browns. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett hasn't played the best this season, throwing for 1,584 yards, six touchdowns, and five picks while completing 62.7% of his throws. Although Cincy may […]

Evan McPherson May See More Action In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson wasn't needed during Sunday's win over Atlanta, as the 23-year-old didn't log a single field goal attempt. However, with Ja'Marr Chase (hip) unavailable for up to six weeks, McPherson could see more action if Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense struggle to adjust moving ahead. He is usually a must-start […]

Stefon Diggs Has Tough Challenge In Week 8

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been nearly unstoppable all season long. Through six games, Diggs has 49 receptions, 656 yards, and six touchdowns this season. He's averaging over 10 targets per week in this pass-heavy offense. Despite his success, Diggs could have some trouble against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8. A […]

Devin Singletary An RB2 For Week 8

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary has posted at least 90 total yards in three of his last four games. The 25-year-old seems to have finally found his groove and is actually consistently producing in this offense. In Week 8, Singletary will face a Green Bay Packers defense that is horrendous against the run. In […]

Tee Higgins Has Big Shoes To Fill On Monday Night

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has played well this season, catching 31 passes for 455 yards and two touchdowns. With that said, the 23-year-old could be in store for a significant increase in production with Ja'Marr Chase out of the equation for up to six weeks. He's certainly up to the task. Yet, Chase's […]

Josh Allen A Strong QB1 For Week 8

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has thrown for over 300 yards in four of his first six games of the season. The 26-year-old is putting together another excellent season with little signs of slowing down. In Week 8, Allen will get a Green Bay Packers defense that is middle of the road this season in […]

Tyler Boyd Hoping To Thrive In Enhanced Role

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd will need to step things up in the wake of the injury to Ja'Marr Chase (hip), who will miss up to six weeks. The 28-year-old is up to the task, as he has shined when needed during his career. Boyd is coming off his best showing of the season, […]

Willie Snead IV Elevated To Active Roster

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Willie Snead IV has been elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. This doesn't come as a surprise with Deebo Samuel (hamstring) out and Jauan Jennings (hamstring) listed as questionable for this contest. The 30-year-old has seen success in the past, […]

Michael Badgley Signs With Lions

The Detroit Lions have signed kicker Michael Badgley to their active roster. The 27-year-old has spent each of the last two weeks on the practice squad. Now, it appears the team will officially sign Badgley. He was perfect on his kicks last week and appears to be a reliable option. However, the Lions offense hasn't […]

Nico Collins Ruled Out For Week 8

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (groin) has been ruled out for the Week 8 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Collins was held out of practice all week due to a groin issue. Despite that, he was listed as questionable for this game, but has ultimately been ruled out. His absence makes Brandin Cooks a […]

Ryan Tannehill Ruled Out, Malik Willis To Start

The Tennessee Titans have downgraded quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle, illness) to out for Week 8 against the Houston Texans, and he won't travel with the team. Rookie third-rounder Malik Willis will now make his first career NFL start on Sunday after taking all the starter's repetitions in practice this week. Tannehill sprained his ankle in […]

David Njoku Ruled Out For Monday Night Game

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) has officially been ruled out in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. As expected, Njoku wasn't able to practice all week after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The good news for Njoku's fantasy managers is that the […]

Alex Leatherwood Activated From NFI List

The Chicago Bears activated former Las Vegas Raiders first-round offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood from the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list on Friday, and he should make his season debut in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys. The 23-year-old won't start in his first game for the Bears, but they're hoping he can provide valuable depth for their […]

Texans Defense Has Limited Appeal In Week 8

The Houston Texans defense is a little more appealing than usual on Sunday against a Titans team that ranks just 21st in the NFL in points per game, but there's still plenty of reason to be concerned. For example, the Texans allow the most rushing yards per game in the NFL and face a team […]

Chris Boswell Ruled Out For Week 8

The Pittsburgh Steelers ruled out kicker Chris Boswell (groin) for the Week 8 game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to his groin injury. Boswell was listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, but he's now been downgraded and won't kick on Sunday. The 31-year-old apparently injured his groin at practice later in the week, […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Has Some Upside In Week 8

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn started the year hot, not missing a single kick in his first three games. He's missed two of them in the last three games, so there's definitely a little concern there about his accuracy. But the Texans offense has a tendency to stall out in opponent territory, which is why […]

Jordan Akins Has Some Deep-League Appeal In Week 8

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins could be a sneaky play in deep leagues or DFS this week against the Titans, who allow the second-most passing yards per game in the NFL. He's seen at least two targets in four consecutive games, and last week he caught three passes for a team-high 68 yards. It's […]

Packers Could Trade For A Tight End

The Green Bay Packers solution at wide receiver could end up being to trade for another tight end, according to a source. Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki could be available, but he might not be a good fit in head coach Matt LaFleur's offense. Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam is another name to […]

Khalil Herbert Remains Flex Option In Week 8

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert is expected to remain involved in Week 8 versus Dallas. Granted, he'll continue to split carries with David Montgomery, with both men combining for 27 attempts versus the Pats on Monday night. Yet, head coach Matt Eberflus indicated he'd continue utilizing both men's services, so the run game may […]

Nico Collins Not Expected To Play Sunday

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (groin) isn't expected to play Sunday when the Texans take on the Titans, according to KPRC's Aaron Wilson. The Titans allow the second-most passing yards per game in the NFL, so Collins likely would have been considered a fantasy sleeper if he played. Expect more targets to Brandin Cooks, […]

Steelers Defense Not A Strong Fantasy Option In Week 8

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense draws a difficult road matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8. The Eagles have been one of the most effective offenses in the league in 2022, ranking fourth in the league in points per game (26.8) and fifth in yards per game (408.3). The Steelers have struggled at times on […]

Chris Boswell Questionable For Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell (groin) is being listed as questionable for his team's Week 8 road matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Boswell's name showed up on the injury report on Friday as a DNP with a groin injury as his team gears up to head on the road in Week 8. A late-week injury […]

Brandin Cooks Has WR2 Appeal In Week 8

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (wrist) looks like he'll play Sunday against the Titans, and with fellow receiver Nico Collins (groin) trending in the wrong direction, Cooks should be in line for more targets this week. His overall fantasy value has taken a hit because his target share has decreased on a near-weekly basis, […]

Giants Have Interest In Jerry Jeudy

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy could be available before Tuesday's trade deadline, according to multiple league sources. The New York Giants, who just traded first-rounder Kadarius Toney to the Kansas City Chiefs, have particular interest in Jeudy, according to a league source. Jeudy was a freshman at Alabama in 2017 when Giants head coach […]

Pat Freiermuth A Solid TE1 In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth caught a season-high eight passes for 75 yards in a loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. Freiermuth will head on the road to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8 as he looks to continue his recent success. The Eagles have been decent against opposing tight […]

Cole Kmet Not A Fantasy Option On Sunday

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet has recorded only 12 catches for 148 yards this season. He also hasn't scored a touchdown. The 23-year-old was projected to have a breakout season in 2022-23. However, that hasn't happened, considering quarterback Justin Fields' lackluster play. With that said, he has no business starting on Sunday against an […]

Dameon Pierce Remains An RB2 Play Against Titans

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce doesn't have the easiest matchup on Sunday against a Titans team that allows the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game to opposing teams, but his volume makes him an RB2 play despite that. He's had 20 or more carries in three of the last four games, while he's also been […]

George Pickens A WR3 Vs. Philadelphia

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens will head on the road to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8. Pickens has come on strong of late, catching the first touchdown of his career in Week 7 and finishing with at least six catches and 61 receiving yards in three of his past four games. […]
