Randall Cobb, Equanimeous St. Brown Questionable

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Rams. Cobb practiced in full on Friday and is expected to play in his first game since Sept. 23. He does have double-digit targets in two of his three games played this […]

DeVante Parker Has Big Day In Return

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker had a big day in Miami's 42-23 loss to Houston in Week 8. He caught six passes for 134 yards on nine targets. Parker hadn't played since Week 6 and only played in two games prior to this one, combing for two catches on four targets for forty yards. […]

Von Miller Expected To Play Despite Questionable Tag

Denver Broncos defensive end Von Miller (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Chiefs, but head coach Vance Joseph said Miller will play. Miller will need to be on his game in order to slow down Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and this high-flying offense. The 29-year-old has 29 tackles, four forced fumbles […]

Cardinals Add Insurance With Phil Dawson Injured

With Arizona Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson (hip) injured, the team signed free-agent Matt McCrane to their practice squad on Friday. McCrane was cut by the Cardinals in the preseason and then joined the Raiders, where he went 5-for-9 on his field-goal tries before being released. Offensive lineman Kyle Friend was cut in a corresponding move. […]

Royce Freeman Ruled Out For Broncos

Denver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Chiefs, according to head coach Vance Joseph. Punt returner/wide receiver Daesean Hamilton (knee). The Broncos were holding out hope that Freeman would be able to play despite suffering a high ankle sprain last Thursday. With an injury that […]

C.J. Beathard Must Reduce Turnovers

San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard hasn’t been a disaster but his carelessness with the football is concerning. In four starts, Beathard has committed 10 turnovers. He faces the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8, who have allowed only eight passing touchdowns on the season. Beathard struggled while being constantly harassed in Week 7 by the […]

Chris Thompson, Paul Richardson Questionable

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, rib) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Giants. Thompson practiced this week but also did last week and was inactive, so he's not a lock to return. If he does, he'll merely be an RB3/flex play in […]

Marlon Mack Back At Practice Friday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) appears to be back at practice on Friday after missing the session on Thursday. Mack will likely be questionable on the injury report for Week 8 against the Raiders, but his return to practice gives us confidence that he'll play in a great matchup. Coming off his best […]

Jack Doyle, Adam Vinatieri Likely To Play

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said tight end Jack Doyle (hip) and kicker Adam Vinatieri (groin) will both likely play in Week 8 against the Raiders. Doyle will return for the first time since Week 3, but Eric Ebron really produced with him out, so he'll remain in play as a strong TE1, although […]

Robby Anderson, Trumaine Johnson Doubtful

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) and cornerback Trumaine Johnson (quadriceps) are both listed as doubtful to play in Week 8 against the Bears. With Quincy Enunwa (ankle) also out, Jermaine Kearse will be the team's top receiver. It's a big downgrade for rookie quarterback Sam Darnold. Recently-signed wideout Rishard Matthews could also […]

Jamison Crowder Ruled Out Against Giants

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Giants. Crowder will be missing his third straight game and hadn't done much of anything for his fantasy owners before that, so he's become a drop candidate if you haven't done so already. Paul Richardson could return after missing […]

Chris Thompson A PPR Flex Play If Active

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson has been battling injury since a Week 5 contest against the Saints, and his status for Week 8 remains uncertain. If he's able to go on Sunday against the Giants, it could be back to business as usual. The Giants are one of the more fantasy-friendly matchups for opposing […]

Torrey Smith Won't Play Against Ravens

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Ravens. Smith is a deep threat but mostly posts mediocre results for fantasy owners. In PPR leagues, he doesn't serve much of a purpose aside from being a bench stash. In his absence, rookie D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel […]

Kapri Bibbs Could Receive More Work In Week 8

Washington Redskins running back Kapri Bibbs figures to expand his role in the offense if Chris Thompson is once again inactive. After seeing just three total touches in Week 6, Bibbs caught four passes for 43 yards and a touchdown in Week 7. Considering Washington's inclination to utilize running backs in the passing game, his […]

Ryan Grant, Erik Swoope Ruled Out

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant (ankle) and tight end Erik Swoope (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 8 against the Raiders. It'll be Grant's second straight missed game. With T.Y. Hilton back in the fold, Grant is the team's third receiver, at best, when he's healthy, so he's not much of a […]

Paul Richardson With Exploitable Week 8 Matchup

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson missed Week 7 due to injury, but he could be in line for an assertive return against the Giants if he is able to suit up. The Giants have been torched by wide receiver groups for three consecutive weeks, allowing 621 yards, 48 catches and four touchdowns in that […]

Vontaze Burfict, Nick Vigil Ruled Out Against Bucs

Cincinnati Bengals linebackers Vontaze Burfict (hip) and Nick Vigil (knee) have been ruled out for Week 8 against the Buccaneers. Slot cornerback Darqueze Dennard (shoulder) will also be out. It's a serious blow to Cincy's defense, as Burfict and Vigil are the life and soul of this unit in the middle of the field. It's […]

Redskins Defense A Solid Start In Week 8

The Washington Redskins defense has allowed just 20.2 points per game, good for seventh best in the NFL. That number is even inflated by the unit's sole misstep of the year, when they allowed the Saints to score 43. On Sunday the Redskins will take on a Giants team averaging just slightly south of 20 […]

Rashard Higgins Ruled Out Against Steelers

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Steelers. Higgins will need at least another week to recover from an MCL sprain. When he is ready to return, though, he could serve as the No. 2 receiver behind Jarvis Landry, so he's worth stashing in deeper leagues […]

Leonard Fournette, James O'Shaughnessy Ruled Out

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) have been ruled out for Week 8 in London against the Eagles. Fournette will sit out through the team's Week 9 bye. Playing in parts of only two games so far this year, Fournette has been a massive fantasy bust. Hopefully for […]

Josh Doctson Takes On Reeling Giants Defense

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson headlines one of the more lackluster groups in the NFL, and hasn't shown any indication that he can be counted on in any fantasy format. In Week 8 he will face a Giants pass defense that has fallen off a cliff against opposing wideouts. After limiting New Orleans receivers […]

Martavis Bryant In Line For More Work

With the Oakland Raiders trading wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Cowboys this week, Martavis Bryant should benefit in the passing game as the No. 2 behind Jordy Nelson. He's been a disappointment so far with 14 catches for 220 yards in five games, including a dropped touchdown and a fumble. "I think it helps […]

Peyton Barber Good To Go For Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said running back Peyton Barber (ankle) is "good to go" for Week 8 against the Bengals. Barber has been very mediocre this year, rushing for 3.5 yards a carry without a single rushing touchdown. He'll simply be an RB3/flex against Cincinnati this Sunday, and rookie Ronald Jones II […]

Donte Moncrief Misses Flight With Team

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief was not on the team plane to London because of a passport mishap. However, he caught a commercial flight and is now in London and on his way to the practice field. Moncrief has been hit or miss so far this year. He has a 100-yard game and two […]

Will Fuller Tears ACL, Out For Season

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien confirmed that wide receiver Will Fuller (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Thursday night win over the Dolphins and will miss the rest of the season. It's a big blow to the Texans offense and for Fuller's fantasy owners. He had five catches on six targets for 124 […]

Marquise Goodwin Struggling With Consistency

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin demonstrated his volatility in Week 7, following up a two-touchdown performance with a 24-yard clunker on just two catches. Goodwin will seek better consistency in Week 8 against a middling Arizona Cardinals pass defense. While the Cardinals have allowed the second-fewest pass touchdowns (eight), Goodwin should have less […]

Raheem Mostert Positioned For Heavy Usage

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert is primed for the largest workload of his four-year career in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. With Matt Breida’s (ankle) status increasingly dubious, Mostert should lead the Niners backfield in snaps and touches. Mostert has racked up 165 yards in 23 touches over the last two weeks […]

Frank Gore Limited In Week 8

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore was limited to 53 yards on 12 rushes and five yards on one reception in Week 8 against the Houston Texans. Gore and running back Kenyan Drake both had 12 rushes but Drake was by far more effective in Week 8. Moving forward, Gore will only reach value if […]

Kenyan Drake Effective In Week 8

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was very effective in Week 8, even though his snap count remained limited. On 12 carries, Drake totaled 58 yards and a touchdown and on two receptions he totaled 37 yards and a touchdown. Drake continued to split snaps with running back Frank Gore but was by far more […]

Brock Osweiler Has Weak Performance In Week 8

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler completed 21 of 35 pass attempts for 241 yards and no touchdowns in Week 8 against the Houston Texans. Osweiler has been effective the last two weeks but was held to a fairly weak performance by the Texans defense- these types of outings will likely be more common than previous […]
