David Njoku Looks To Continue Ascent In Week 8

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku has been steadily breaking out this season, aided by the team's decision to start Baker Mayfield at quarterback back in Week 4.

Antonio Callaway A Desperation Flex In Week 8

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway is coming off one of his slowest games of the season in Week 7 as he caught just one pass for 14 yards.

Jarvis Landry A Solid WR2 In Week 8

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is coming off one of his best games of the season in Week 7 as he finished with 10 catches for 97 yards and a score. He will look to keep it going in Week 8 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Landry faced Pittsburgh back in Week 1, posting a […]

Duke Johnson A Week 8 Flex Option

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson will look to jump start his season in Week 8 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Johnson picked up just 25 yards on six touches when these two teams met back in Week 1.

Nick Chubb A Low-End RB2 In Week 8

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb made the most of his first opportunity to play extended snaps in Week 7, picking up 80 rushing yards and a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Baker Mayfield A QB2 For Week 8

In Week 8, Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will head to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers for the first time in his career.

Steelers Defense A Decent Week 8 Option

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense/special teams heads out of a Week 7 bye to take on the Cleveland Browns at home in Week 8. While Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield has played well for a rookie, the Pittsburgh defense has been a solid unit this season, tying for second in the league with 22 sacks and forcing […]

Vance McDonald A High-End TE2 In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald will take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 8 for the first time in 2018 after he missed the two teams' Week 1 contest due to injury.

James Conner A Locked-In RB1 In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner will welcome the Cleveland Browns to town on Sunday following his Week 7 bye.

Ben Roethlisberger A Mid-Range QB1 In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will face off against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8.

Josh Allen, Trent Murphy Considered Week-To-Week

The Buffalo Bills will likely be without at least two starters when they host the New England Patriots on Monday night. Rookie quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) and defensive end Trent Murphy (knee) are both currently listed as week-to-week.

Jets Unlikely To Land Patrick Peterson

The Arizona Cardinals fielded an inquiry from the New York Jets on cornerback Patrick Peterson, according to a source. However, the Cardinals aren't trading Peterson to the Jets, barring a miracle.

George Kittle Achieving Top-Tier Status

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is emerging as a top-tier TE1. After adding 98 yards to his total in Week 7, Kittle now has 527 yards for the season, good for third amongst tight ends and 17th overall in the NFL. The second-year man continues to lead all Niners skill players in snaps […]

Albert Wilson Likely To Land On Injured Reserve

While Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (hip) won't need surgery, he's still likely to be placed on Injured Reserve to give him time to recover, according to a source. He won't be eligible to return for eight weeks, so fantasy owners that added him last week off waivers will need to dump him already. […]

Everson Griffen Returning To Team

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen, who has been away from the team since Sept. 20 to deal with his personal health, will resume activities with the team on Wednesday. It remains to be seen if Griffen will play in Week 8 against the Saints, but it's a step in the right direction for a […]

Bills Could Draft A Lineman In First Round

The Buffalo Bills are 2-5 on the season and they really don't have much to look forward to for the remainder of the season. So why not take a look at who the team could select in the 2019 NFL draft? According to various outlets, the Bills will likely choose an offensive or defensive lineman […]

Geoff Swaim, Zack Martin Have Sprained Knees

Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim (knee) and right guard Zack Martin (knee) have both been diagnosed with sprained MCLs. The good news is that the Cowboys are on bye in Week 8, but MCL sprains typically can cost a player anywhere from two to four weeks of missed time. That means that both Swaim […]

Scuffling Bears Defense Has Opportunity Against Jets

The Chicago Bears defense has really struggled the past two weeks but will have an opportunity to bounce back at home against the Jets. The Bears were averaging 4.5 sacks through their first four games this season but their pass rush has disappeared due to the ankle injury to Khalil Mack. They will go up […]

Peyton Barber Picks Up Ankle Injury

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber (ankle) is reportedly dealing with an ankle injury he picked up during Sunday's game against the Browns. Coach Koetter confirmed it but did not disclose the severity. An injury report will be put out Wednesday that should be closely monitored in case Barber doesn't practice. If he were to miss […]

Anthony Miller's Role Could Increase In Week 8

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller could see an increase in playing time if teammate Allen Robinson doesn't play in Week 8 against the Jets. Robinson is dealing with a groin injury and was unable to finish the Bears loss to the Patriots in Week 7. If he doesn't suit up, expect Miller to step […]

Taylor Gabriel Has Favorable Week 8 Matchup

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel will try and bounce back against a Jets defense that is allowing the seventh most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. Gabriel caught only three passes for only 26 yards after back-to-back 100-yard performances the previous two games. He will face a Jets secondary that has allowed seven […]

Tarik Cohen Continues To Rise In Bears Backfield

Geoff Swaim Undergoing MRI

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said tight end Geoff Swaim (knee) was injured in the Week 7 loss to the Redskins and is undergoing an MRI exam on Tuesday.

Eli Manning Remains Giants Starter

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that quarterback Eli Manning will remain the team's starter going forward. Manning had a season-high 399 yards in the Monday night loss to the Falcons, but he had just one touchdown and remains inefficient in the red zone. New York's brutal offensive line isn't helping his cause, […]

Don't Trust Jordan Howard Against Jets

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard continues to struggle finding his rhythm in the offense heading into Week 8. The third-year running back is averaging only 3.5 yards per carry and will be a tough fantasy play in Week 8 despite finding the end zone against the Patriots last week. He will go up against […]

Mitch Trubisky Will Be Top-10 QB Option Against Jets

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky has now thrown for 300 yards in three consecutive games heading into the team's Week 8 matchup against the Jets.

Saints Defense Not Worth A Play Against Vikings

The New Orleans Saints defense will have a tough task slowing down a rising Vikings offense in Week 8. The Saints defense had their streak of 3-plus sacks in a game snapped at four after sacking the Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco only once in Week 7. It is unclear if the acquisition of Giants cornerback […]

49ers Defense May Disappoint Again

Facing the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5, the San Francisco 49ers defense mustered only one sack and forced zero turnovers against a terrible offense. The squads rematch in Week 8 following blowout losses by both teams. The Niners will again be an interesting streaming candidate but rank near the bottom of most defensive categories, placing […]
