James Conner Has RB1 Upside Against Dolphins

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner hasn't been the high-end fantasy running back that many drafted him as, but a Week 8 matchup with the Miami Dolphins puts him in a great spot. Despite not rushing for more than 55 yards in a single game this season, Conner has still found pay dirt five times […]

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 […]

Mason Rudolph Gets Prime Matchup For His Return

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph has been a full participant in practice this week, marking his official return to the field after suffering a concussion in Week 5. The second-year signal caller gets a prime Monday Night Football matchup against the Miami Dolphins at home. The Dolphins allow the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks […]

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 […]

Darren Fells Could Be Worth Streaming

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells has been decently involved in Houston's offense this year, though not so much so that he's been worthy of being a weekly fantasy start. But for owners in need of a tight end in Week 8, Fells has a juicy matchup with a Raiders team that's allowing the seventh-most […]

Keke Coutee Remains A Fringe Option

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee scored a touchdown in Week 7, but it came off a pitch play near the goal line and shouldn't really be considered an indication of his season turning around. The second-year slot receiver has been a disappointment this season, with 13 catches for just 154 yards in six games. […]

Patrick Mahomes Won't Play In Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) will miss Kansas City's Week 8 meeting with the Green Bay Packers. This had been the expected situation since Mahomes injured his knee last Thursday, but his appearances at practice this week had introduced some hope into his ability to return to the field without missing a game. […]

O.J. Howard Ruled Out For Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (hamstring) has been ruled out of Tampa's Week 8 meeting with the Tennessee Titans. With Howard out, Cameron Brate will work as the team's main tight end. The Titans allow the 10th-most points per game to opposing tight ends, but the Buccaneers have shown a reluctance to target […]

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 […]

Kenny Stills Has Upside In Week 8

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills is expected to operate as Houston's second outside receiver with Will Fuller (hamstring) sidelined. Against a Raiders Defense that allows the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers, Stills makes for an intriguing flex option. Last week, Stills returned from his own hamstring injury, playing 94 percent […]

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 […]

Noah Fant Should Play Against Colts

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Noah Fant (foot) isn't practicing on Friday but should be ready to play in Week 8 against the Colts, according to a source. Fant could be questionable on the final injury report, but he should be out there on Sunday. The first-round pick doesn't have more than four catches or […]

DeAndre Hopkins Has Good Week 8 Matchup

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins broke out in Week 7, recording his first 100-yard game since Week 1. It was also his first time finding the end zone since Week 1, as the star receiver shook off a disappointing season. It's interesting to note that Hopkins' big day mostly came after Will Fuller (hamstring) […]

Duke Johnson Has Some Appeal In Week 8

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson hasn't been heavily featured in 2019. While that shouldn't change too much against the Oakland Raiders in Week 8, Johnson does have some fantasy appeal in deeper leagues, as Oakland has allowed the 12th-most receptions to opposing running backs this season. Maybe Johnson gets more involved in the passing […]

Zay Jones Expected To Play In Week 8

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones is expected to make his team debut in Week 8 against the Texans. Tyrell Williams (foot) has a chance to return this week as well from his two-game absence. It's unclear how much Jones will actually play if he's active, but if both he and Williams are active, it's […]

Dede Westbrook Questionable Against Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Jets. Westbrook was questionable last week also, but he suited up and went for over 100 yards receiving against the winless Bengals. We expect Westbrook to play again this Sunday, but make sure to check Sunday morning's inactives. If […]

Mike Gesicki Still Looking For Traction in Sophomore Season

Things haven’t been rosy for Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki this season, as the 2018 second-round pick has struggled right along with the rest of his winless team. Gesicki only has 22 receptions and 202 yards this year but is coming off of his best two performances, totaling 92 yards on seven receptions in […]

Kenyan Drake Remains a Dolphin Prior to Monday Night Matchup

With multiple teams suffering recent injuries in their backfields, Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake’s chances of being traded before the Oct. 29 deadline seem to be going up. A trade may be the only chance he has to be relevant in fantasy this year, as Drake has only rushed for 164 yards for the […]

Browns Defense Draws Tough Matchup in Week 8

The Cleveland Browns Defense draws a difficult Week 8 matchup against the undefeated New England Patriots. As usual, New England has one of the top offenses in the league, headed by veteran quarterback Tom Brady who has thrown just four interceptions on 273 pass attempts through seven games. Cleveland's defense has been among the league […]

Devante Parker Looks to Keep Touchdown Streak Going

Heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football, trade rumors continue to swirl around Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker. With Miami seemingly willing to trade anything of value, teams such as San Francisco and Green Bay have reportedly checked on what it would take to acquire the speedy […]
