Marvin Jones Looking To Stay Hot In Plus Week 8 Matchup

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones dominated in Week 7, catching 10 balls for four scores, and will look to follow up that performance with the New York Giants coming to town in Week 8. Kenny Golladay was covered very well for the entire afternoon in Week 7, so fantasy owners shouldn't expect the season-high […]

DaeSean Hamilton Has The Opportunity To Prove Himself

Denver Broncos wide receiver Daesean Hamilton will be given the opportunity to prove himself over the next few weeks, as the Broncos have traded Emmanuel Sanders to the San Francisco 49ers and Hamilton is now one of the top two receivers on Denver's roster. Hamilton has had a shaky sophomore season thus far, but his […]

T.J. Hockenson Not A Recommended Week 8 Option

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson has all but cemented himself as a weekly boom-or-bust candidate, at best, as he has yet to eclipse the 32-yard receiving mark since posting a monster 131-yard Week 1 performance. The Lions may choose to air the ball out more often going forward with running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) recently […]

Courtland Sutton Looks To Shine As Go-To Guy

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is now the clear No. 1 target for the Denver Broncos with Emmanuel Sanders going to the San Francisco 49ers via trade. Not only is Sutton the clear No. 1, but he is also the only established piece in the Broncos passing game at the moment. This is a […]

Cowboys Acquire Michael Bennett from New England

The Dallas Cowboys traded for defensive end Michael Bennett, formerly of the Patriots, sending a 2021 seventh-round pick to New England. There are escalators in the trade that could turn the pick into a sixth-round pick depending on Bennett's performance. It's could be a nice boost for the Cowboys Defense, although Bennett was struggling for […]

Markieff Morris Will Play Thursday

Detroit Pistons forward Markieff Morris (back) will play Thursday night against the Atlanta Hawks. Morris was originally questionable to play in the contest with back pain, but he will fight through the minor injury. Morris will likely pick up another start with Blake Griffin (knee, hamstring) sidelined. Morris had a quiet Pistons debut and will […]

Mason Crosby An Effective Starter This Week

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby could be in line for another week of being an effective starter against the Kansas City Chiefs. Crosby has been accurate all season, missing only one kick back in Week 3. While Crosby was only able to score six points last week against the Oakland Raiders, that was due […]

Kenny Golladay Looking To Rebound In Week 8

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay will look to rebound in Week 8 after a disappointing one-catch performance against the Vikings in Week 7. The good news for the third-year wide receiver is that the New York Giants swiss-cheese defense is coming to town. The Giants have already allowed five receivers to eclipse the 100-yard […]

Packers Defense A Great Streaming Option This Week

The Green Bay Packers Defense could prove to be a great streaming option this week for the matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Typically the Chiefs would be a matchup to avoid, but they are likely to be forced to start backup Matt Moore this week, meaning that the Chiefs are unlikely to be as high-flying […]

Jimmy Graham A Borderline Starter Against Kansas City

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham is a borderline starting tight end against Kansas City this week. Graham has been wildly inconsistent this season but enjoyed one of his best games of the year last week against the Oakland Raiders. The Kansas City Chiefs have given up an average of 7.1 points to the […]

Geronimo Allison Could Have Flex Appeal Against Kansas City

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison could have flex appeal for the upcoming matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. While Marquez Valdes-Scantling has struggled for targets with Davante Adams (toe) out of the lineup, Allison has been given more looks in the offense. While Allison hasn't been able to convert those opportunities into fantasy points, […]

Adrian Peterson Expected to Play on Thursday Night Football

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) is expected to play tonight on Thursday Night Football despite an ankle injury. Peterson is a very risky play against a strong Minnesota defense in a game that could get out of hand quickly for Washington. Add to that the fact that Peterson could be limited due to […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling A Risky Start Against Kansas City

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling is a risky start against the Kansas City Chiefs but has plenty of upside. Valdes-Scantling had an impressive game against the Oakland Raiders last week but only had three targets. The Chiefs are one of the better units against the position, allowing an average of 19.5 points this […]

Jamaal Williams Has Flex Appeal Against Chiefs

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams could have flex appeal against the Kansas City Chiefs, but only in deeper leagues. Williams has been the rotation back for the Packers this season but has caught a touchdown in his last two games. The Chiefs, however, are one of the worst units in the league at […]

Aaron Jones In RB1 Consideration This Week

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones is in the RB1 consideration this week for his matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Jones was given the keys to the offense last week after being benched for the majority of Week 6, but he struggled to make an impact. However, the Chiefs are not an effective […]

Keenan Allen Misses Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was added to the Week 8 injury report against the Bears and did not practice on Thursday. It puts Allen's status in doubt for this weekend in a tough matchup on the road. The 27-year-old has been held under 100 yards receiving and hasn't scored since his […]

Jared Cook, Tre'Quan Smith Miss Another Practice

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (ankle) and wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Neither player looks particularly close to playing in Week 8 against the Cardinals, so you shouldn't plan on having either of them in your lineups. Cook caught touchdowns in his last two […]

Aaron Rodgers To Continue His Impressive Form

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers impressed last week against the Oakland Raiders and will look to continue that this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have given up an average of 18.0 points to the position this season, but that number could have been far higher if the Houston Texans hadn't dropped […]

Alvin Kamara, Drew Brees Limited Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) and quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Kamara didn't practice on Wednesday, so this is a notable improvement, although he's still very questionable to play in Week 8 against the Cardinals. The Saints are likely factoring in their Week 9 bye […]

Marvin Bagley Suffers Fractured Thumb

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (thumb) is going to be sidelined for a significant time after injuring his hand. Bagley suffered a fractured right thumb that will cost him four to six weeks. Nemanja Bjelica is expected to jump into the starting power forward role with Bagley sidelined. Harrison Barnes, Trevor Ariza, and Richaun Holmes […]

Rajon Rondo Was Able to Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (calf) looked good during Thursday's practice, according to head coach Frank Vogel. Rondo is dealing with calf soreness and remains questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's expected to take over in the starting five for Avery Bradley once healthy. However, Rondo might not start every single […]

Jalen Richard Added To Injury Report

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard (ankle) was added to the Week 8 injury report against the Texans and was limited in practice on Thursday. This is worth watching with rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) questionable for this weekend. If Jacobs were to sit out, Richard and Deandre Washington would form a split in […]

Rodney McGruder Won't Suit Up on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Rodney McGruder (ankle) will remain sidelined for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He'll miss the first two games of the season due to an ankle issue. Fantasy owners can consider him questionable for Saturday, but he doesn't have much practice time between then, so we'll see. Maurice Harkless and […]

Fred VanVleet Will Remain Starter

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet will remain the starting shooting guard for the moment, according to head coach Nick Nurse. VanVleet scored 34 points in the season opener, so it's not surprising that the Raptors are sticking with him. Normal Powell could draw some starts in the future, but VanVleet is the better fantasy option. […]

Cody Zeller Doesn't Attend Thursday's Practice

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (personal) did not attend Thursday's practice and it's unclear if he'll be ready for Friday's game against the Timberwolves. The exact reason why Zeller was not at practice is unknown, so it's difficult to know if he'll be ready for Friday. Willy Hernangomez is likely to start on Friday, assuming […]

Rex Burkhead Continues Limited Status

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) remained limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Burkhead hasn't played since Week 4 and is third on the running back depth chart behind Sony Michel and James White whenever he is active. Unless an injury occurs ahead of him, Burkhead is a low-upside, […]

Markieff Morris Could Sit Out on Thursday

Detroit Pistons forward Markieff Morris (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He was dealing with back pain on Wednesday, but played through the issue. Blake Griffin (knee, hamstring) is sidelined, so Morris is expected to start once again. He could be a risky option, while a little banged up […]

Sam Darnold Gets In Full Practice

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (toe) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Darnold injured his toe (and his feelings) in the pathetic loss to the Patriots on Monday night in which he admitted to "seeing ghosts" on the sidelines. He will play against the Jaguars this weekend […]

Reggie Jackson Should Play on Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Jackson was playing at less than 100 percent during Wednesday's season opener. He wasn't able to do much during his 20 minutes, but was fighting through back pain. He's a risky DFS option on Thursday, even if he […]

Jamison Crowder Added To Week 8 Injury Report

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (knee) was added to the Week 8 injury report against the Jaguars and was limited in practice on Thursday. Crowder should be able to play this weekend unless he misses practice on Friday. The Jets offense was a disaster on Monday night in the blowout loss to the […]
