Taysom Hill Continues To See Utilization Increase

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (chest) takes on the Indianapolis Colts in a Week 8 matchup. The former quarterback-turned-tight-end has been dealing with a chest injury that he suffered last week, but is still expected to play. Hill has been primarily used as a rusher after he made the position switch a few […]

Samaje Perine Not A Safe Choice For Week 8

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine hasn't had the year most thought he would. The former Bengal has just 98 yards off 26 carries and 20 catches for 215 yards through the first seven weeks. More alarming, he hasn't scored a touchdown as a runner or pass-catcher. Most had assumed Perine at least had a […]

Jaleel McLaughlin A Risky Flex Play Versus The Chiefs

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin has had a decent inaugural campaign. While Javonte Williams is still the No. 1 back on the depth chart, the rookie has been arguably more productive. McLaughlin has three total touchdowns on the year compared to Williams' zero, and the former has slowly been getting more involved as each […]

Alvin Kamara A Smash Play Yet Again Vs. Colts

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara faces the Indianapolis Colts in a cross-conference showdown on Sunday. The former NFL offensive rookie of the year has been fantasy PPR gold this season after he returned from suspension, finishing as a top 10 back in four consecutive weeks. Primarily the beneficiary of the Saints' ultimate check-down […]

Javonte Williams Hard To Trust In Week 8

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams hasn't had the best 2023-24 campaign. Even though there were doubts he'd be ready to start the year after flirting with the PUP list in training camp because of a knee injury, fantasy managers are still disappointed. It's safe to say the 23-year-old has fallen well below expectations, considering […]

Derek Carr A Fine Streaming Option vs. Colts

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr will take on the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday at Caesars Superdome. The veteran QB has lead the NFL in pass attempts over the last two weeks combined and is top-five in yards, which has led to consecutive top-10 QB performances (QB10 and QB9, respectively. Unfortunately Carr is not scoring […]

Russell Wilson Not An Ideal Option Versus The Chiefs

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson will meet Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs for the second time this season. Both AFC West clubs recently clashed in Week 6. However, the signal-caller didn't do anything relevant, finishing the night by amassing 95 passing yards and a touchdown. Even worse, he threw two interceptions and completed an embarrassing […]

Brock Purdy Expected To Play In Week 8

According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (concussion) is anticipated to get cleared and start on Sunday versus the Bengals "if all goes as expected." The signal-caller practiced in full on Friday after being limited in Thursday's session, which is always a good sign. But for now, […]

Frank Ragnow Battling Multiple Injuries

Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow (toe, calf) isn't expected to practice on Saturday, marking what would be his third consecutive absence. He may work "on the side." However, head coach Dan Campbell said it's "tough" to tell if the 27-year-old would play in Monday's meeting with the Raiders. Ragnow, a multi-time Pro-Bowler, is considered one […]

Sam LaPorta Remains A Must-Start In Week 8

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has hauled in 35 of his 49 targets for 377 yards and three touchdowns so far in his rookie campaign. The first-year pro has exceeded expectations and is playing in one of the best offenses in the NFL. That said, he remains a must-start against the Las Vegas Raiders […]

Josh Reynolds A Shaky Flex Options Against Raiders

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds started off the 2023 season hot, but he has cooled off in recent weeks. The veteran receiver has caught just five passes over the last two weeks, posting 93 yards and zero touchdowns. The Las Vegas Raiders have allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers, so […]

Jordan Wilkins Elevated From The Practice Squad

The Browns elevated running back Jordan Wilkins from the practice squad ahead of the team's upcoming meeting in Seattle. Under normal circumstances, this move wouldn't be newsworthy. However, it may paint a bigger picture, potentially signaling an impending absence by Jerome Ford (ankle), who remains questionable for Week 8. Fortunately for Cleveland, Kareem Hunt (thigh) […]

Jameson Williams A Boom-Or-Bust Flex Option In Week 8

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has hauled in just four passes for 55 yards and a touchdown in his first three games this season. Heading into a matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, the second-year pro remains a boom-or-bust desperation flex option. The speedster is likely reliant on deep touchdown receptions for fantasy production, […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Remains Must-Start On Monday Night

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has caught 51 of his 69 targets for 557 yards and three touchdowns this season. The third-year pro remains a must-start, despite facing an underrated Las Vegas Raiders defense on Monday Night Football. The Raiders have surrendered the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season. […]

Davante Adams "Happy" To Be A Raider

During a recent interview with NFL Media's Rich Eisen, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams stated he is "happy" to be on the team. The veteran recently voiced his displeasure, specifically regarding his lack of involvement, leading many to believe he wanted out. However, Adams' unhappiness evidently was heard loud and clear by teammates […]

Justin Tucker Still Trustworthy In Week 8

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker put together a couple of solid weeks and is back inside the top 12 fantasy kickers. In Week 7, he made his only field goal attempt from 32 yards out. He also made all five of his extra-point attempts. If the offense can look as fluid as it did against […]

Graham Gano Not A Strong Kicker Candidate For Week 8

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and has no injury designation for this weekend. As the offense struggles, Gano's attempts have fluctuated. In Week 7, he saw just one field goal try, which he missed. In fact, the veteran has missed four field goals through seven games. […]

The Ravens Defense An Elite Option In Week 8

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams checks in as the number two fantasy defense in the league, behind the Dallas Cowboys. After a quality performance against the Lions in Week 7, where they collected five sacks and an interception, they will now travel and take on a struggling Arizona Cardinals offense. Joshua Dobbs has been making […]

Giants DST A Decent Streaming Option In Week 8

The New York Giants' defense has significantly improved from their disastrous start to the season. In the last three games, they've sacked opposing quarterbacks seven times, recovered two fumbles, intercepted four passes, and scored one touchdown. The unit also only allowed the Bills and Commanders to combine for 21 points in the last two weeks. […]

Wan’Dale Robinson Not Considered A Flex Option In Week 8

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is coming off his worst game of the 2023 season. The sophomore caught just one of two targets for 22 yards against Washington. He'll have a similar challenge against the New York Jets, who allow the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers. Due to his […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Still Hard To Trust In Week 8

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. turned in his best performance of the season in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. The entire offense was firing on all cylinders and Beckham put up season-highs in receptions, yards, and targets. Despite that fact, he hasn't been able to find the end zone and he hasn't […]

Jalin Hyatt Emerging But Facing Tough Matchup In Week 8

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt earned a career-high five targets against Washington as he saw his time on the field jump to over 70 percent. He turned those targets into two catches for 75 yards. The Giants are making a concerted effort to get the third-round rookie more involved as they desperately search […]

Gus Edwards Draws A Good Matchup In Week 8

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards finally had a breakout game in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. He put together 144 all-purpose yards with a rushing touchdown. Now, he and the Ravens take on an Arizona Cardinals team in Week 8 that has given up the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing running […]

Darius Slayton A Wide Receiver To Avoid In Week 8

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is a mainstay in the Giants' offense, lining up at wideout for over 80 percent of snaps in five out of seven games. The production, however, leaves a lot to be desired. In a plus matchup against Washington in Week 7, the veteran earned just two targets, catching […]

Saquon Barkley Cleared Of Elbow Issue, An RB1 In Week 8

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (elbow) was listed as a full participant in practice on Friday and has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. With injury issues out of the way, Barkley is expecting another day with over 20 carries and some extra work in the passing game. […]

Tyrod Taylor Picking Up Third Straight Start

New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor will start for the third straight game as the Giants take on the New York Jets. Starter Daniel Jones (neck) isn't cleared to play and there's no timetable for his return. The veteran is coming off a performance against Washington where he threw for 279 yards and two touchdowns […]

Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates - NFL Rookies to Surge in Second-Half

When it comes to fantasy football rookies, most don't become dominant producers right from the start. Typically, early injuries or bye weeks open up opportunities for them to get more playing time, allowing them to earn a role. By the halfway point of the season, a significant number of teams have had their bye weeks, […]
