James Washington A Healthy Scratch For Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver James Washington is a healthy inactive for Week 8 against the Browns. Quarterback Mason Rudolph is also a healthy scratch. Washington has caught only five of his 14 targets this year for 49 yards and a touchdown, so he's not fantasy relevant in redraft leagues. However, he's a worthy dynasty/keeper […]

Ravens Defense Is A Must-Start In Week 8

The Baltimore Ravens defense will look to bounce back against the Carolina Panthers in Week 8. The Ravens are likely still reeling from surrendering 17 fourth-quarter points in their 24-23 loss to the Saints last week. While giving up two fourth-quarter touchdowns, which was the first time that opponents have reached the end zone in […]

Allen Robinson Not Expected To Suit Up On Sunday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin) isn't expected to play on Sunday against the visiting Jets. With the hope that the week off will improve his situation, expect him to pop up on the injury report throughout next week in addition to practicing sparingly, if at all. In his stead, expect more looks for […]

LeSean McCoy Likely To Play Against Pats

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (concussion) is expected to play on Monday night against the Pats. Despite practicing in a limited capacity and being officially designated as questionable, it appears as if he will be good to go. With the veteran potentially back in the lineup, look for the Chris Ivory's stock to fall, […]

Matt Breida Expected To Play Sparingly

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) is expected to play in a limited capacity against the Cardinals. Breida has been dealing with the injury for quite some time but has been able to play through it for the most part. However, he is a risky play from a usage perspective despite going up […]

Chris Thompson Likely To Play On Sunday

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (rib, knee) is expected to play on Sunday against the Giants despite being designated as questionable. After missing several weeks and practicing sparingly on Wednesday and Thursday, the 28-year-old was able to log a full practice on Friday. However, all signs are indicating that he will back up running […]

Mark Andrews Should Be Avoided In Week 8

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Mark Andrews ran his reception streak to seven straight games when he hauled in an eight-yard touchdown toss from quarterback Joe Flacco last week. It was his second score of the season. However, the 23-year-old has not been on the field for more than 33 offensive snaps in any of the […]

Willie Snead A Low-End Flex Option

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead will look to make up for a disappointing game against his former team with a solid performance in Week 8. Snead, who had a stellar 68 percent reception rate through the first six weeks, snagged just three of seven targets versus New Orleans, where he spent his first three […]

Michael Crabtree A Low-End WR3 For Week 8

While Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Michael Crabtree has had his troubles with drops this season, but he has been relatively consistent over the last month or so. Crabtree grabbed five of nine targets for 66 yards in Week 7, marking the fifth time that he has caught at least five passes and totaled 50 or […]

Javorius Allen Is Not Worth Playing In Week 8

Baltimore Ravens running back Javorius Allen has seen a light workload the past two weeks. He has totaled 42 scrimmage yards on 11 touches, with 39 of those yards coming on six receptions during this two-game period. Allen, who is averaging less than five fantasy points per game over the last month, has not reached […]

John Brown Is WR2 With Upside

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver John Brown has become the team's most consistent fantasy performer. Brown is coming off his best game of the season last week, as he hauled in each of his seven targets for 134 yards and one touchdown. It was the fifth-year veteran's second 100-yard game and the fourth time that he […]

Alex Collins Is An RB3 For Week 8

The NFL season is nearly halfway over and Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins has yet to have a breakout performance. Collins, who was expected to join the 1,000-yard club this season, is averaging just 3.5 yards a carry and 44.1 yards a game. The 24-year-old was limited to 38 yards on 11 attempts last […]

Rob Gronkowski, Josh Gordon Listed As Questionable

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back) and wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) were both limited in practice all week and are questionable for Monday night against the Bills. Gronk sat out in Week 7 but practiced all week and is fully expected to return to a great matchup. Consider him a top-three […]

Sony Michel Doubtful Against Bills

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) got in a limited practice on Saturday but is doubtful to face the Bills on Monday night in Week 8. Michel's injury isn't considered serious and he could even be back in Week 9, but he won't play this Monday. Make sure you've made plans to […]

De'Angelo Henderson Added To Active Roster

The New York Jets signed running back De'Angelo Henderson from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday with Bilal Powell (neck) out for the rest of the season. Cornerback Juston Burris was released in a corresponding move. Henderson was a sixth-round pick of the Broncos last year and had just seven carries for […]

Brandon McManus a Solid Bye-Week Option

Having kicked his way to 58 fantasy points on the season, Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus is tied for the 10th most fantasy points at the position and at 8.3 fantasy points per game, he makes for a viable option this week with four teams on bye. The Chiefs have allowed their opponents to find […]

Zach Pascal Questionable To Face Raiders

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal (head) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 8 against the Raiders. Pascal was added to the injury report on Friday, but it seems he has a good chance to suit up. Even if Pascal does play, he'll be at best third on the receiver […]

Jeremy Maclin Won't Play In 2018

Free-agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (gluteus, hamstring) is undergoing surgery on his hamstring/gluteus that has kept him from working out for interested teams and he won't play at all this season. He expects to be ready for 2019. Maclin played in 12 games for the Ravens last year, catching 40 passes (72 targets) for 440 […]

Joe Flacco A Mid-Level QB2 Option For Week 8

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco bounced back from two below-average games with a solid performance against the Saints in Week 7. While Flacco completed just 59 percent of his passes for 279 yards last week, he also tossed two touchdowns and no interceptions, marking the first time that has occurred in three weeks. It also […]

Anthony Barr, Andrew Sendejo Ruled Out Against Saints

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr (hamstring) and strong safety Andrew Sendejo (groin) have both been ruled out for Week 8 against the Saints. Defensive tackle Linval Joseph (ankle, knee) and cornerback Xavier Rhodes (foot) are both questionable, leaving the Minnesota defense very banged up heading into a matchup against one of the more potent offenses […]

Denver Broncos Defense Enters the No Fly Zone

Once coined the "No Fly Zone" due to their prowess in shutting down their opponent's aerial attacks, this Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit finds themselves as the ones in the no fly zone for fantasy owners this week, as they'll head to Arrowhead to take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Largely due to their 33 […]

Chris Ivory On Track To Play Monday

Buffalo Bills running back Chris Ivory (hamstring) is on track to play on Monday night against the Patriots despite injuring his hamstring in practice on Wednesday. Ivory was a waiver pickup this week with LeSean McCoy suffering a concussion in Week 7. McCoy seems to be on track to be cleared, but that might not […]

LeSean McCoy Remains In Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, and head coach Sean McDermott says the team will continue to "take it one day at a time" with him. McCoy has been limited in practice this week, so it looks likely that he'll be cleared by Monday, but he's also likely […]

Sony Michel Returns To Practice Saturday

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) returned to practice on Saturday after missing the last two days. Michel suffered a strained MCL in Week 7. It's not a long-term injury, but he's not expected to play on Monday night against the Bills, even if the team lists him as questionable to play. […]

Demaryius Thomas Remains a Risky Play for Fantasy Owners

It seems likely that Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas will remain a Denver Bronco by the time we reach the Oct, 30 trade deadline, and barring an unexpected turn of events, he'll be donning the blue and orange while running routes against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday afternoon. Having found the end zone […]

Buccaneers Defense Riddled With Injuries Up Front

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be missing star defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and free-agent signee Vinny Curry this coming Sunday against the Bengals. The pair was out last week against Kansas City as well and that front seven was gashed by Kareem Hunt. This situation puts Joe Mixon squarely in play as a high-end RB1 […]

Emmanuel Sanders Hoping to Erase Week 4 Dud

We're not ready to call Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders matchup-proof, but his 86.1 receiving yards per game rank 13th among WRs this season and his 24 percent target share offers him a relatively high weekly floor. Sanders had (arguably) his worst game of the season in Week 4 against the Chiefs -- five […]

Donte Moncrief Has Upside In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief has received double-digit targets in two of the past three games, giving him some of the best upside on the team heading into Sunday's meeting with the Eagles in London. Philadelphia has allowed the fourth-most points to fantasy wide receivers, and Moncrief's target share makes him a prime candidate […]

T.J. Yeldon Has PPR Upside Against Eagles

Despite the acquisition of running back Carlos Hyde, Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon should remain a solid play in PPR leagues in Week 8 against the Eagles thanks to his usage in the receiving game, something Hyde is unlikely to help in. It's possible that Yeldon's reduced role winds up so reduced that he […]

Carlos Hyde's Role Unclear Heading Into Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde was acquired via trade last week and is expected to suit up for his first game as a Jaguar on Sunday when the team plays Philadelphia in London, but it'll be difficult to trust him in fantasy lineups at this point. T.J. Yeldon should remain an active part of […]
