Marlon Mack Has A Good Matchup In Week 8

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack burst onto the scene against the Buffalo Bills last week with an impressive game. He was a major force in the running game, and he has the opportunity to do that again this week. The Oakland Raiders defense has struggled this season, and the Colts offense is starting to […]

Kerryon Johnson Is Flex-Worthy In Week 8

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson is fresh off his second 100-yard rushing game of his rookie season. While Miami, the Lions Week 7 opponent, is more forgiving to opposing running backs, Seattle allows the 18th most fantasy points to opposing backs. Keep in mind that LeGarrette Blount has vultured three rushing touchdowns so far, […]

Matthew Stafford Draws Tough Matchup In Week 8

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford faces off against the Seahawks at home this Sunday. Stafford performs better at home but Seattle allows the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. The Seahawks are one of two defenses in the league that have recorded more interceptions than passing touchdowns allowed. While Stafford has been more risk-averse this season, […]

Ndamukong Suh Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. The Rams could just be resting their stud defensive tackle in the middle of the season. The 31-year-old remains one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL and has 20 tackles and three sacks through the first seven weeks of the […]

Dalvin Cook Could Be Out Through Bye Week

Multiple league sources have indicated a belief that Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) will miss the team's next two games against the Saints and Lions and remain out through the Week 10 bye. Cook just hasn't been able to stay healthy so far in his career after missing most of last year after […]

Keke Coutee, Ryan Griffin Ruled Out For Thursday

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) and tight end Ryan Griffin (illness) missed practice on Wednesday and have been ruled out for Thursday night against the Dolphins. Coutee said after the game Sunday that he wouldn't be able to play on the short week after aggravating his hamstring that cost him games earlier […]

Bilal Powell's Career In Jeopardy

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell (neck), who was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, will have season-ending surgery on his neck. The injury could also be career-threatening, according to head coach Todd Bowles. The 29-year-old Powell will be a free agent after this season, so he may struggle to find work. He'll finish […]

Cooper Kupp Doubtful For Week 8

Although Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (knee) is making good progress, he's doubtful to play in Week 8 against the Packers, according to head coach Sean McVay. With Kupp likely to miss his second straight game, Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks will once again have higher fantasy ceilings. Josh Reynolds, who will be […]

Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa Miss Practice

New York Jets wide receivers Robby Anderson (ankle) and Quincy Enunwa (ankle) both missed practice on Wednesday. With Enunwa expected to miss another week or two with his high ankle sprain, the Jets can ill-afford to have Anderson sit out in Week 8 against the tough Bears defense. Anderson disappointed with only three receptions on […]

Ronald Jones II Sees First-Team Reps Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said rookie running back Ronald Jones II "got the majority of everything today" in Wednesday's practice with Peyton Barber (ankle) sitting out. The Bucs aren't giving out much information on Barber's injury, so he might be in danger of sitting out in Week 8 against the Bengals. If […]

No Practice For Larry Fitzgerald Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Fitzgerald is likely just being rested, so he should be fine to play in a good matchup in Week 8 against the Niners. The 35-year-old veteran caught his first touchdown last Thursday but has been very unproductive otherwise with rookie quarterback Josh Rosen […]

Isaiah Crowell Practicing In Full

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (foot) is practicing in full on Wednesday for the first time in three weeks. It's good news, especially since Bilal Powell (neck) is having season-ending surgery. Crowell's workload might increase slightly, but rookie Trenton Cannon should help on passing downs until Elijah McGuire (foot) returns from the Physically […]

Seth Roberts On Week 8 Injury Report

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Seth Roberts (concussion) is listed on the Week 8 injury report and was limited in practice on Wednesday. He'll need to be cleared from the concussion protocol in order to play this Sunday against the Colts. With Amari Cooper traded to the Cowboys, Roberts' role in the offense will grow as […]

Rashaad Penny, Ed Dickson, Nick Vannett Limited In Practice

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (finger) and tight ends Ed Dickson (quadriceps) and Nick Vannett (back) were all limited in practice on Wednesday coming off their bye week. Penny may have suffered a setback from his finger injury he suffered in training camp, but there's no indication it'll keep him out this weekend […]

Ricky Seals-Jones A Full Participant

Arizona Cardinals tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (forearm) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. He suffered what looked to be a serious injury in last Thursday's loss, but he said he would be alright, and that looks to be the case. With Arizona's offense struggling, Seals-Jones hasn't seen much production. He has only one […]

Mike Gesicki, A.J. Derby Questionable Against Texans

Miami Dolphins tight ends Mike Gesicki (shoulder) and A.J. Derby (foot) are both listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Texans. Derby was limited on Wednesday after missing Monday and Tuesday, while Gesicki practiced in full on Wednesday after two limited sessions earlier in the week. Derby also missed last week and seems unlikely […]

Demaryius Thomas On Injury Report

Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (wrist) finds himself on the Week 8 injury report, although he practiced in full on Wednesday. Thomas has been very mediocre for fantasy owners this year with just one 100-yard game. He had just four catches on seven targets for 24 yards against KC in their first meeting, but […]

Allen Robinson, Khalil Mack Miss Practice Wednesday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin) and defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) both missed practice on Wednesday. Both players missed practice last Wednesday before suiting up in Week 7. Robinson was a non-factor against New England, though, catching just one of five targets for only four yards. If active, Robinson should be able to […]

Marlon Mack Limited With Ankle Injury

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Mack seems to always be dealing with some sort of injury this year, but he should be good to go in Week 8 against the Raiders after a season-best performance in Week 7. With Mack the clear lead back over […]

Aaron Rodgers Practicing In Full

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) is practicing in full on Wednesday. It appears the bye week did Rodgers' left knee a lot of good. He's improving as the year progresses, so hopefully he won't suffer a setback during game action. Rodgers remains an elite QB1 and will likely have to pass often on […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Limited Wednesday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday coming off the team's bye week. St. Brown will likely be able to play in Week 8 against the Rams, but there's no guarantee he'll be active with Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) expected to return after missing […]

Patriots Defense An Excellent Sleeper Play In Week 8

The New England Patriots defense has certainly given up its fair share of points recently but have an excellent matchup against the Bills in Week 8. The Bills have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing defenses and journeyman Derek Anderson is in line to be under center. The Patriots got two special teams touchdowns […]

Giants Defense Not Fantasy Viable In Week 8

The New York Giants defense will go up against quarterback Alex Smith and the Redskins in Week 8. Smith has had a long history of protecting the football and the Giants have only four interceptions on the season. The Redskins allow the seventh fewest fantasy points to opposing defenses and the Giants just traded cornerback […]

Golden Tate, Ameer Abdullah Limited Wednesday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate (ankle) and running back Ameer Abdullah (ankle) were both limited in practice on Wednesday, as was defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder). Tate's injury is worth monitoring, but we suspect he'll be fine for Week 8 against the Seahawks. Tate has had two mediocre games in a row and hasn't […]

Evan Engram A Risky Play In Week 8

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram returned to the field in Week 7, rushing the ball one time for 10 yards and catching two passes for 16 yards. Engram had been dealing with a knee injury but looked fast and his old self on the field. But he will take on a Redskins defense […]

Theo Riddick Still Missing From Practice

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick (knee) did not practice on Wednesday after sitting out in Week 7. The fact that Riddick was inactive coming off the bye week is not a good sign, and he doesn't look likely to play again in Week 8 against the Seahawks. Riddick will likely be found on most […]

Sterling Shepard Looks To Stay Hot Against Redskins

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard will look to stay hot after posting a career-high 167 receiving yards in Week 7. He will go up against a Redskins defense that has allowed the 14th most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. The Giants offense has failed to convert red zone opportunities into touchdowns […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Has Beatable Matchup Against Washington

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is having a fantastic season despite the team's offensive struggles and their 1-6 start. Beckham Jr. has two touchdown catches in his last three games and for the season has 53 receptions for 649 yards in only seven games. He will go up against a Redskins defense […]

Saquon Barkley Has Stingy Week 8 Matchup

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley has lived up to the preseason hype, averaging 4.9 yards per carry, 49 receptions, 905 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns this season. The young superstar continues to dominate despite the Giants disappointing 1-6 start. Barkley will go up against a Washington defense that has allowed the eighth […]

Eli Manning Not Worth A Start Against Washington

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will go up against a Redskins defense that is allowing the 11th most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. The Giants are now 1-6 and the offense has been one of the biggest mysteries around the NFL. The weapons on offense are elite fantasy assets but Manning has struggled to […]
