Cam Newton Difficult Start This Week

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is a difficult start this week. Newton is not a conventional pocket passer, owing to his dual-threat ability but the Baltimore Ravens have been an elite team against the position so far this season. Going into this weeks game the Ravens have given up an average of 14 points to […]

Chris Hogan's Value Slowly On The Rise Heading Into Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan is back on the fantasy radar heading into the team's Week 8 matchup against the Bills. Hogan has 10 receptions for 141 yards over his last two games as he continues to work his way back into the flow of the offense. He will go up against a […]

Julian Edelman Has PPR-Appeal Against Bills

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman should continue to rack up receptions against a tough Bills secondary in Week 8. Buffalo is allowing the third fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers but Edelman has scored touchdowns in each of his last two games. Quarterback Tom Brady loves to pepper Edelman in the slot […]

Kenyan Drake A Low-End Flex In Week 8

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is a low-end flex option in Week 8 against the Houston Texans. Drake had a nice bounce back in Week 7, totaling 87 yards and a touchdown, but he made most of his day on one 54-yard touchdown run. He only got ten touches in that game and didn't […]

Josh Gordon On Brink Of Fantasy Breakout

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon will try and replicate his four-catch, 100-yard performance against the Bears when the Patriots take on the Bills in Week 8. Gordon has made swift progress in a new offensive system and the fact that he is an athletic freak certainly doesn't hurt. He will take on a […]

James White Rises To RB1 Status Against Bills

New England Patriots running back James White is enjoying a renaissance start to his season, totaling 569 yards from scrimmage with 45 receptions and seven touchdowns. The injury to running back Sony Michel should increase White's touches even higher coming into Week 8 against a vulnerable Bills run defense. Buffalo is allowing the 10th most […]

Josh Rosen Returns To Practice Wednesday

As Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks expected, rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (toe) returned to practice on Wednesday. Rosen suffered a toe injury late in last Thursday's blowout loss to the Broncos, but he should be fine to suit up in Week 8 against the 49ers. Rosen was a disaster last week and hasn't looked […]

Cam Newton Dealing With Sore Shoulder

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday, and head coach Ron Rivera said Newton was a little bit sore and tired coming out of Week 7. Newton has gone over 300 yards passing just once this season, but he's completing 65.6 percent of his passes and has 11 passing touchdowns, […]

Jakeem Grant Moving Up The Depth Chart For Week 8

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant could see more action than normal in Week 8 against the Houston Texans. Miami is without receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson, leaving Grant as one of three healthy receivers on the active roster. Grant, a 5'6" return man, is dangerous with the ball in space and could fill […]

Tom Brady Primed To Dominate Bills In Week 8

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has a top-flight matchup in Week 8 against the Bills. Buffalo currently is allowing only the seventh fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season but Brady has owned the Bills his whole career. In 31 career starts, Brady is 28-3 with 7,798 passing yards, 68 touchdowns and only […]

Randall Cobb Ready For Week 8 Return

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb is set to return this week against the Los Angeles Rams. He has been out since week 4 with a hamstring injury. Cobb probably isn't a top fantasy option this week as he likely isn't going to see a ton of targets. Davante Adams has seen a steady […]

Doug Martin The Team's Feature Back

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden called running back Doug Martin a "feature back" with Marshawn Lynch (groin) on Injured Reserve. The 29-year-old Martin hasn't done much of anything this year, rushing 27 times for 99 yards (3.7 yards per carry) and no touchdowns. There's nothing to suggest he'll be more effective with a larger […]

Danny Amendola Could Have Expanded Role In Week 8

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola could get more looks than normal in Week 8 against Houston. Miami will be without receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson for this week and possibly longer, meaning Amendola is the number one receiver by default. Amendola is dealing with a minor shoulder ailment but is expected to play. […]

Brock Osweiler A Low-End QB2 Against Texans

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler will draw his third straight start in Week 8 against the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football. Osweiler has performed surprisingly well in his first two outings, averaging 21.88 fantasy points in his first two starts. Based on past experience we know this performance isn't going to last, and Osweiler […]

Royce Freeman Not Practicing Wednesday

Denver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday. Although the Broncos are optimistic that Freeman may not have to miss any time, he's dealing with a high ankle sprain, which usually keeps players out several weeks. Fantasy owners should not be expecting Freeman to play against the Chiefs in Week […]

Geronimo Allison Set For Big Return

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison is back from his hamstring injury. He missed two games and then had a bye week. He faces a weak Los Angeles Rams secondary this week. With fellow wide receiver Randall Cobb healthy, and Davante Adams who has been on fire it could open up Allison for some […]

Davante Adams Looking To Stay Hot

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams is looking to continue his hot streak this week against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams secondary has been banged up and playing poorly. With fellow receivers Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison back from injury it could hurt his volume, but also will take some pressure off him […]

Zero Chance Patrick Peterson Gets Moved

There appears to be zero chance that Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson is traded ahead of the deadline on Oct. 30. The Cardinals never put Peterson on the trade block, although he publicly asked for a trade out of the desert. The All-Pro shutdown cornerback doesn't want to be part of the team's rebuild, but […]

Rashard Higgins Still Sidelined

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) is working on the side with athletic trainers during practice on Wednesday. Higgins has been out since spraining his MCL in Week 5, but he could be getting closer to a return. With nobody really stepping up behind Jarvis Landry, Higgins could surpass rookies Antonio Callaway and Damion […]

Giovani Bernard Not Practicing Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) remains on the rehab field during practice on Wednesday. Bernard remains out with a sprained MCL, and he doesn't look close to returning in Week 8 against the Buccaneers. He's worth a stash for running-back needy fantasy owners, but he'll only be Joe Mixon's change-of-pace back when he […]

No Practice For Wendell Smallwood, Darren Sproles

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Wendell Smallwood (undisclosed) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) are not practicing on Wednesday. Sproles hasn't played since the season opener and hasn't practiced since either, so there remains no timetable for his return. Smallwood has been forming an uninspiring tandem with Corey Clement since Jay Ajayi was lost for the season. If […]

Ryan Grant, Robert Turbin, Adam Vinatieri Not Practicing

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant (ankle), running back Robert Turbin (shoulder) and kicker Adam Vinatieri (groin) are all missing practice on Wednesday. Grant and Turbin both sat out in Week 7 and could miss another game. Grant is waiver wire fodder with T.Y. Hilton returning to action last Sunday. Turbin is fourth on the […]

No Practice For Peyton Barber

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday. Barber picked up an ankle injury in Week 7, and it's unclear if it's serious enough to keep him sidelined in Week 8 against the Bengals. If he's forced to sit, it'd mean bigger workloads for rookie Ronald Jones II and Jacquizz […]

Rob Gronkowski, Sony Michel Not Practicing

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) and rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) are not practicing on Wednesday. Gronk missed Week 7, but his back injury isn't believed to be serious and he has a good chance of returning on Monday night against the Bills. It'll ease his owners' minds, though, if he […]

Patriots Won't Be Landing Patrick Peterson

The New England Patriots will not be trading for Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson at the trade deadline next Tuesday. A source said the team hasn't had a single conversation about making a deal for Peterson, and discussing how the team would be able to make him fit is a "waste of time." The Patriots […]

Lions Acquire Damon Harrison

The Detroit Lions acquired defensive tackle Damon Harrison from the New York Giants on Wednesday in exchange for a fifth-round pick in next year's draft, according to sources. The Giants are already pretty much out of the playoff picture and have also sent cornerback Eli Apple to the Saints. Harrison will be a big boost […]

Leonard Fournette, James O'Shaughnessy To Sit Out

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) are both expected to sit out of practice on Wednesday. At this point, it seems likely that Fournette will rest up through the team's Week 9 bye. T.J. Yeldon has been an RB2 in his absence, but the presence of Carlos Hyde […]

Jack Doyle Has Chance To Return Against Raiders

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (hip), who has been out since Week 3, will practice on Wednesday and head coach Frank Reich isn't ruling Doyle out from returning in Week 8 to face the Raiders. When Doyle was injured coincided with Eric Ebron blowing up as a TE1, so it's fair to wonder if […]

Bilal Powell Out For The Season

The New York Jets placed running back Bilal Powell (neck) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, effectively ending his season. He will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so Week 7 could've been his last game with the team. He had rushed for 343 yards on 80 carries while also catching 11 passes for 110 […]

Eagles Defense a Solid Option in Week 8

The Philadelphia Eagles defense is a solid option in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. While they rank 24th in standard scoring leagues, they will be taking on a team that is in shambles and just benched its starting quarterback last week. Blake Bortles will start for the Jags, but his leash is shorter than […]
