Giovani Bernard Not Seen At Practice

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) was not seen at all on the practice field on Thursday. Bernard has yet to resume practicing since spraining his MCL on Sept. 30, and he looks likely to miss another game in Week 8. Once he returns, he'll be Joe Mixon's change-of-pace back and could have RB3/flex […]

Torrey Smith Out Again Thursday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's not a good sign for his chances of playing in Week 8 against the Ravens. The veteran wideout hasn't gone over five catches or 61 yards in a single game this year and remains an unattractive all-or-nothing fantasy […]

Kenny Stills Could Be Back In Week 9

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills (groin) has already been ruled out for Thursday night against the Texans, but his injury isn't a long-term one and he could have a shot at playing in Week 9 against the Jets. Stills got off to a great start in the season opener, going for four catches, 106 […]

Peyton Barber Returns To Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that he will be able to play in Week 8 against the Bengals. Barber is still looking for his first touchdown of the year and is averaging a mediocre 3.5 yards per carry […]

Robert Turbin Hoping To Return After Bye

Indianapolis Colts running back Robert Turbin (shoulder), who suffered a dislocated shoulder two weeks ago, is hoping to return after the team's Week 9 bye. When healthy, Turbin is fourth on the running back depth chart behind Marlon Mack, Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins, so he can remain on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.

Marlon Mack Not Practicing Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) is not practicing on Thursday after getting in a limited session on Wednesday. It's unclear if Mack suffered a setback or not, so his Friday practice participation will be key. If he's unable to go, rookies Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins would split the workload in an excellent […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison Expected To Play Against Rams

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said he feels good about both wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) playing in Week 8 against the Rams. Both players returned to practice on Wednesday after the bye week. Both Cobb and Allison were close to playing before the Week 7 bye, so it's […]

LeSean McCoy Still In Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he was able to get in a limited practice on Thursday. It's an encouraging sign that he'll be able to play on Monday against the Patriots. He has had at least 100 total yards from scrimmage in each of his last […]

Sony Michel Still Absent At Practice

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) remained sidelined at practice on Thursday. Dealing with a sprained MCL, Michel is fully expected to sit out for the game on Monday night against the Bills, and he might be hard-pressed to return next week as well. He needs to be stashed in all formats, […]

Rob Gronkowski Back At Practice Thursday

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) was back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Gronk's back spasms that kept him out of Week 7 were never believed to be a long-term issue, so he should be fine to play against the Bills on Monday with an extra day of rest. […]

Everson Griffen's Status Up In The Air

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen returned to practice on Wednesday after missing five games to address a mental-health issue, and it's too early to tell if he will play in Week 8 against the Saints. "We’re just going to see how he comes back," Zimmer said of whether Griffen will play Sunday. "Really, that’s […]

Corey Coleman Added To Active Roster

The New York Giants added wide receiver Corey Coleman from the practice squad to their active roster on Thursday. The former first-round pick of the Browns in 2016 was traded to the Bills before the season and was cut by Buffalo and the Patriots before landing with New York. The Giants are hurting for depth […]

Leonard Fournette, James O'Shaughnessy Out Again

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) are expected to miss practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Fournette is now expected to sit out through the team's Week 9 bye. He's yet to play a full game this year and has turned into a full-on first-round bust […]

Ravens Looking To Get Hayden Hurst More Involved

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team needs to get rookie tight end Hayden Hurst more involved in the offense. "It’s important to get Hayden involved going forward," coach John Harbaugh said. "He’s a first-round pick, talented guy. He’s practicing really well. He’s a rookie –- that’s the other side of it -- […]

Chris Thompson, Paul Richardson Back At Practice

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, ribs) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) both returned to a limited practice on Wednesday after sitting out in Week 7. Thompson ranks second in receiving on the team despite missing a game. Thompson took part in practice last week before being ruled out, so he's no […]

Jamison Crowder Unlikely To Play In Week 8

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday and is highly unlikely to play in Week 8 against the Giants. Crowder has now been out since Oct. 8 and is once again looking like a fantasy bust after many predicted a breakout in 2018. He's been dropped in most fantasy leagues. […]

Will Fuller May Have Opportunity To Shine

With the Miami Dolphins having allowed just five touchdowns to wide receivers and the Texans possessing a No. 1 receiver who rates as a top fantasy option, Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller finds himself in a tough spot on Thursday. Fuller hasn't found the end zone in three consecutive games, as hamstring and hip […]

DeAndre Hopkins Remains Strong Option In Week 8

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has had his two lowest receiving totals of the season over the past two weeks, but he's found the end zone both times to salvage his day from a fantasy perspective. Week 8's matchup with the Dolphins offers Hopkins another chance to succeed, though Miami's defense has done well […]

Lamar Miller Looking For Another Big Day In Week 8

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller rushed for 100 yards and recorded his first rushing touchdown of the season in Week 7 against the Jaguars. Now, he tries to keep that momentum going in Week 8 against a Dolphins team that's allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. With it finally […]

Cardinals Defense Has Upside In Week 8

The Arizona Cardinals defense/special teams has a very good matchup against the struggling San Francisco 49ers in Week 8. The team certainly has upside against an offense missing many of its key players and one that has been prone to turnovers in recent weeks. The Cardinals D/ST could sneak into D/ST1 territory if they are […]

Jermaine Gresham Has Minimal Value In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham is firmly in the second tight end slot for the team. Playing behind second-year pro Ricky Seals-Jones, Gresham has found it difficult to get weekly consistency and therefore has had very minimal fantasy value all season long. Despite a matchup against the 49ers, Gresham still should not be started […]

Ricky Seals-Jones A TE2 In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (forearm) is quickly developing into a decent tight end at the NFL level. The former college wide receiver is the team's top option at the position and one of quarterback Josh Rosen's favorite targets. Seals-Jones has TE2 value heading into Week 8.

Chad Williams Has No Fantasy Value In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Chad Williams has had a rather disappointing season so far. Williams has failed to develop chemistry with quarterback Josh Rosen and looks like the third wide receiver on the depth chart heading into Week 8. Against the 49ers, Williams is a desperation play at best due to his lack of consistent […]

Deshaun Watson Should See Success Against Dolphins

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has had a few rough outings this season, including a pair of sub-200 yard games as he deals with a chest injury. But the Texans are home against the Dolphins this week, a team over 200 passing yards in every game this season. And while Miami has done well to […]

Ty Montgomery To Be Buried Again In Week 8

Green Bay running back Ty Montgomery faces a tough matchup in Week 8 when he takes on the Los Angeles Rams. Montgomery has been buried on the depth chart in Green Bay for much of this year. He really only sees action in obvious passing down situations. Despite his background as a former wide receiver, […]

Christian Kirk A Flex Play In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk has quickly developed into quarterback Josh Rosen's favorite target. Kirk is a speedy receiver who has been able to provide decent returns for fantasy owners despite the dire situation surrounding the Cardinals offense. Kirk should be considered a low-end flex play heading into Week 8.

Larry Fitzgerald Is A WR3 In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) was able to put together a decent performance in Week 7. The veteran wide receiver should act as the team's main option through the passing game and will hopefully have an easier time out in Week 8. With a matchup against the 49ers, Fitzgerald projects to provide high-end […]

Chase Edmonds Has No Fantasy Value In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds has minimal value heading into Week 8. Now that offensive coordinator Mike McCoy is gone, Edmonds will most likely play an even more limited role in the team's offense as he takes a backseat to veteran David Johnson. Edmonds should not be started or rostered in the majority of […]

David Johnson Could Sneak Into RB1 Territory In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson has an enticing matchup against the 49ers coming up in Week 8. Play-calling duties will be taken over by quarterbacks coach Byron Leftwich following the firing of offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, potentially giving Johnson more upside as he is used more on the outside and out wide. If Johnson […]

Josh Rosen Expected To Struggle In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen (toe) is expected to have another difficult game against the San Francisco 49ers. Although play-calling duties will be taken over by quarterbacks coach Byron Leftwich following the firing of offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, the rookie quarterback still looks like a rookie and should find it difficult to air it out […]
