Josh Jacobs Could Play Without Practicing

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) said he feels like he could play in Week 8 against the Texans even if he doesn't practice at all this week. Players don't usually get to make these decisions, but Jacobs should be questionable and has a chance to suit up as the team's lead back. […]

Jameis Winston Hopes To Get Back On Track After Bye

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston had the week off to figure out exactly what went wrong in a Week 6 performance that saw him turn the ball over an ungodly six times, but a bounce-back performance may not be in the cards this week with a road matchup against the Titans on deck. The […]

Joe Flacco Has No Value Against Colts

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco holds little fantasy value at the moment, and losing one of his better wide receivers this week in Emmanuel Sanders did not help Flacco's stock. The veteran quarterback has struggled all season long and signs do not point to him producing fantasy points anytime soon. Even with a matchup against […]

Marvin Jones Looking To Stay Hot In Plus Week 8 Matchup

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones dominated in Week 7, catching 10 balls for four scores, and will look to follow up that performance with the New York Giants coming to town in Week 8. Kenny Golladay was covered very well for the entire afternoon in Week 7, so fantasy owners shouldn't expect the season-high […]

DaeSean Hamilton Has The Opportunity To Prove Himself

Denver Broncos wide receiver Daesean Hamilton will be given the opportunity to prove himself over the next few weeks, as the Broncos have traded Emmanuel Sanders to the San Francisco 49ers and Hamilton is now one of the top two receivers on Denver's roster. Hamilton has had a shaky sophomore season thus far, but his […]

T.J. Hockenson Not A Recommended Week 8 Option

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson has all but cemented himself as a weekly boom-or-bust candidate, at best, as he has yet to eclipse the 32-yard receiving mark since posting a monster 131-yard Week 1 performance. The Lions may choose to air the ball out more often going forward with running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) recently […]

Courtland Sutton Looks To Shine As Go-To Guy

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is now the clear No. 1 target for the Denver Broncos with Emmanuel Sanders going to the San Francisco 49ers via trade. Not only is Sutton the clear No. 1, but he is also the only established piece in the Broncos passing game at the moment. This is a […]

Cowboys Acquire Michael Bennett from New England

The Dallas Cowboys traded for defensive end Michael Bennett, formerly of the Patriots, sending a 2021 seventh-round pick to New England. There are escalators in the trade that could turn the pick into a sixth-round pick depending on Bennett's performance. It's could be a nice boost for the Cowboys Defense, although Bennett was struggling for […]

Mason Crosby An Effective Starter This Week

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby could be in line for another week of being an effective starter against the Kansas City Chiefs. Crosby has been accurate all season, missing only one kick back in Week 3. While Crosby was only able to score six points last week against the Oakland Raiders, that was due […]

Kenny Golladay Looking To Rebound In Week 8

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay will look to rebound in Week 8 after a disappointing one-catch performance against the Vikings in Week 7. The good news for the third-year wide receiver is that the New York Giants swiss-cheese defense is coming to town. The Giants have already allowed five receivers to eclipse the 100-yard […]

Packers Defense A Great Streaming Option This Week

The Green Bay Packers Defense could prove to be a great streaming option this week for the matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Typically the Chiefs would be a matchup to avoid, but they are likely to be forced to start backup Matt Moore this week, meaning that the Chiefs are unlikely to be as high-flying […]

Jimmy Graham A Borderline Starter Against Kansas City

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham is a borderline starting tight end against Kansas City this week. Graham has been wildly inconsistent this season but enjoyed one of his best games of the year last week against the Oakland Raiders. The Kansas City Chiefs have given up an average of 7.1 points to the […]

Geronimo Allison Could Have Flex Appeal Against Kansas City

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison could have flex appeal for the upcoming matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. While Marquez Valdes-Scantling has struggled for targets with Davante Adams (toe) out of the lineup, Allison has been given more looks in the offense. While Allison hasn't been able to convert those opportunities into fantasy points, […]

Adrian Peterson Expected to Play on Thursday Night Football

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) is expected to play tonight on Thursday Night Football despite an ankle injury. Peterson is a very risky play against a strong Minnesota defense in a game that could get out of hand quickly for Washington. Add to that the fact that Peterson could be limited due to […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling A Risky Start Against Kansas City

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling is a risky start against the Kansas City Chiefs but has plenty of upside. Valdes-Scantling had an impressive game against the Oakland Raiders last week but only had three targets. The Chiefs are one of the better units against the position, allowing an average of 19.5 points this […]

Jamaal Williams Has Flex Appeal Against Chiefs

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams could have flex appeal against the Kansas City Chiefs, but only in deeper leagues. Williams has been the rotation back for the Packers this season but has caught a touchdown in his last two games. The Chiefs, however, are one of the worst units in the league at […]

Aaron Jones In RB1 Consideration This Week

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones is in the RB1 consideration this week for his matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Jones was given the keys to the offense last week after being benched for the majority of Week 6, but he struggled to make an impact. However, the Chiefs are not an effective […]

Keenan Allen Misses Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was added to the Week 8 injury report against the Bears and did not practice on Thursday. It puts Allen's status in doubt for this weekend in a tough matchup on the road. The 27-year-old has been held under 100 yards receiving and hasn't scored since his […]

Jared Cook, Tre'Quan Smith Miss Another Practice

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (ankle) and wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Neither player looks particularly close to playing in Week 8 against the Cardinals, so you shouldn't plan on having either of them in your lineups. Cook caught touchdowns in his last two […]

Aaron Rodgers To Continue His Impressive Form

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers impressed last week against the Oakland Raiders and will look to continue that this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have given up an average of 18.0 points to the position this season, but that number could have been far higher if the Houston Texans hadn't dropped […]

Alvin Kamara, Drew Brees Limited Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) and quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Kamara didn't practice on Wednesday, so this is a notable improvement, although he's still very questionable to play in Week 8 against the Cardinals. The Saints are likely factoring in their Week 9 bye […]

Jalen Richard Added To Injury Report

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard (ankle) was added to the Week 8 injury report against the Texans and was limited in practice on Thursday. This is worth watching with rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) questionable for this weekend. If Jacobs were to sit out, Richard and Deandre Washington would form a split in […]

Rex Burkhead Continues Limited Status

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) remained limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Burkhead hasn't played since Week 4 and is third on the running back depth chart behind Sony Michel and James White whenever he is active. Unless an injury occurs ahead of him, Burkhead is a low-upside, […]

Sam Darnold Gets In Full Practice

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (toe) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Darnold injured his toe (and his feelings) in the pathetic loss to the Patriots on Monday night in which he admitted to "seeing ghosts" on the sidelines. He will play against the Jaguars this weekend […]

Jamison Crowder Added To Week 8 Injury Report

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (knee) was added to the Week 8 injury report against the Jaguars and was limited in practice on Thursday. Crowder should be able to play this weekend unless he misses practice on Friday. The Jets offense was a disaster on Monday night in the blowout loss to the […]

Denzel Ward, Greedy Williams On Track To Return

Cleveland Browns cornerbacks Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greedy Williams (hamstring) were both practicing in full on Thursday, signaling that they'll return in Week 8 against the Patriots after sitting out since Week 2. It's good news for Cleveland's secondary as they try to spring the upset on the undefeated Patriots on the road. New England's […]

Patriots Defense Will Be Top Play Against Browns

The New England Patriots Defense has emerged as the dominant unit in the NFL and now will have a juicy matchup against the turnover-prone Browns in Week 8. The Patriots already have 15 interceptions on the season and now will go up against a quarterback in Baker Mayfield who has thrown 11 interceptions in only […]

Phillip Dorsett Limited At Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday and could be listed as questionable heading into Week 8. Dorsett has been battling the injury for a few weeks but still managed to rack up 46 yards with one touchdown in Week 7. The Patriots will face a Browns Defense […]

Julian Edelman Carries WR2 Value Against Browns

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman should be front and center in the passing game in Week 8 against the Browns. The Browns Defense has allowed the 14th fewest fantasy points to receivers this season, but Edelman has been as steady as they come. The veteran receiver has been excellent the past three games, […]

Parris Campbell Has Chance To Return This Week

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell (abdomen) was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Campbell has been out since Week 4, but he has a realistic shot to suit up in Week 8 against the Broncos. With T.Y. Hilton firmly entrenched as the No. 1 receiver and with Zach Pascal stepping […]
