Jacoby Brissett Is Quiet In Week 8

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett had a quiet game in Week 8. He finished the afternoon 15 of 25 for 202 yards to go with six carries for 34 yards. His offensive line didn't do much to help him with their worst game in a long time. He was sacked four times, and he was […]

Carson Wentz Plays a Supporting Role in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz played a supporting role in Week 8 as the Eagles running game ran circles around the Buffalo Bills Defense. The Eagles won easily by a score of 31-13, but Wentz completed just 17 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown. He spent most of the afternoon handing the ball off […]

Matt Schaub Throws For 460 Yards In Week 8

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Schaub did a capable job filling in for injured starter Matt Ryan (ankle) in Week 8. Schaub completed 39-of-52 passes for 460 yards and a touchdown against the Seahawks. He also threw an interception and lost a fumble. The Falcons have their bye next week and it's likely that Ryan will […]

First Goal of Season by Mikko Koivu Helps Wild Over Kings

Minnesota Wild forward Mikko Koivu tallied a goal in the third period of Saturday's 5-1 win against the Kings. The 15-year veteran scored his first of the year, and now has five points and 27 shots for the season. Koivu has a career 9.1 shooting percentage, and was able to match that with a 9.0 […]

Matt Dumba gets first Multi-Point Game of the Season in Win

Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba set up a pair of goals Saturday night, getting the primary assist on goals by Gerald Mayhew and Joel Eriksson Ek. On a day where Minnesota had offense come from all parts of their lineup, scoring five goals from five different players, Dumba was the only player to earn more […]

John Henson Out Next Two Weeks

Cleveland Cavaliers center John Henson (hamstring) is expected to miss the next two to four weeks after suffering an injury on Saturday. Henson suffered a right hamstring strain during his season debut Saturday night. He wasn't really going to be in the rotation anyway, so fantasy owners who were taking a chance on Henson can […]

Otto Porter is Not Expected to Miss Time

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (face) is not expected to miss time after receiving six stitches on Sunday. Porter received stitches to repair a cut on his mouth that he suffered during Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors. He was able to finish the game without an issue, so Porter should be fine for Monday's […]

Cody Zeller is Back on Sunday

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (personal) has returned to the team and is available for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed Friday's game due to personal reasons, but is back and ready on Sunday. Zeller played well in the opener on Wednesday and is worth watching and owning in most formats.

Rajon Rondo Has MRI on Leg

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (leg) had an MRI done on his leg on Sunday. The MRI revealed a mild calf strain, but he's considered to be day-to-day. The Lakers are likely going to be cautious here with their veteran guard. Alex Caruso and Avery Bradley should see more minutes until Rondo is ready […]

Marquese Chriss Will Start at Center

Golden State Warriors forward/center Marquese Chriss will jump into the starting five for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) and Kevon Looney (hamstring) will be sidelined for this game and possibly for multiple games. Chriss could see a few starts here over the next few weeks. Fantasy owners should keep […]

Jeremy Lamb Doesn't Practice on Sunday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (hip) doesn't suit up for practice on Sunday. Lamb is dealing with a right hip pointer, but has been increasing his activities as of late. It's unclear whether or not Lamb will suit up for Monday's game. The Pacers will likely go with a committee of players to fill the […]

Chase Edmonds Leaves Game Early Against Saints

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) left the game early in Week 8 against the Saints and needed assistance from the trainers to leave the field. He's questionable to return. After scoring three unexpected touchdowns in Week 7 when David Johnson (ankle, back) was active, Edmonds threw up a dud on Sunday against New […]

Miles Sanders Injured Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in Week 8 against the Bills and is questionable to return. His fantasy owners won't be complaining too much, though, as Sanders had three carries for 74 yards and a touchdown before departing. He also added three receptions for 44 yards in the passing […]

Reggie Jackson Should Play on Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) is expected to return to the starting five for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Jackson has been battling back tightness for the first week of the season. Both Derrick Rose and Luke Kennard having been playing fantastic to begin the season and are pushing for more minutes. Jackson's […]

Rex Burkhead Active In Week 8

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) is active for Week 8 against the Browns. It'll be Burkhead's first time active since Week 4. He'll be third on the running back depth chart behind Sony Michel and James White, so he'll need positive game script in the second half to have a chance at […]

Josh Jacobs, Tyrell Williams Active Against Texans

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) and wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) are officially active in Week 8 against the Texans. Jacobs and Williams were both expected to play. The impressive rookie running back may be at risk of reduced snaps, but fantasy owners must still consider him a strong RB2 as the […]

Marquise Goodwin Out, Raheem Mostert Active

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) is not active for Week 8 against the Panthers, while running back Raheem Mostert (knee) is active. Goodwin just hasn't been a factor at all in 2019 for San Fran's run-first offense, and he's even more unattractive now in fantasy with Emmanuel Sanders set to take over […]

Dede Westbrook Won't Return In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of the Week 8 game against the Jets after aggravating his injury in the first half. Westbrook played through a shoulder injury last week and was effective, but his multiple injuries became too much this Sunday. He'll go down as […]

Kenyan Drake Won't Play Monday, Likely To Be Traded

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake did not travel with the team for Monday night's game against the Steelers, which is a clear sign that he'll likely be traded before Tuesday's deadline. Miami is hoping for a mid-round pick in return. Like the rest of the Dolphins offense, Drake has been a disappointment, rushing 47 […]

Brandin Cooks Suffers Head Injury

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (head) is being evaluated for a concussion early in the Week 8 game against the Bengals in London. It's Cooks' fourth concussion in the last two years, so we'd be surprised if he returns for this game. Cooks dropped his only target on the helmet-to-helmet hit, so fantasy […]

Rex Burkhead Expected To Play Against Browns

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot), who has missed the last three games, is expected to be active in Week 8 against the Browns, according to a source. That's bad news for both Sony Michel and James White, although Burkhead might still just be fighting for scraps as third on the team's running […]

Strong Third Period from Michal Kempny Caps Comeback

Washington Capitals defenseman Michal Kempny scored back-to-back goals late against the Canucks to tie the game and force overtime. Kempny now has five points in five games this season after missing the start of the season due to a hamstring injury. Not known for his offensive prowess, Kempny is coming off of a career-best 25 […]

Brock Boeser's Power-Play Goal Fuels Early Rally for Canucks

Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser kicked off the scoring for Vancouver on Friday, netting a power-play goal and then an assist on Elias Pettersson's goal. Boeser's marker was the first of a five-goal barrage from Vancouver, but Washington was able to recover and steal a win in the shootout. Boeser led all Vancouver forwards in […]

Rams Open To Trading Aqib Talib

The Los Angeles Rams are open to trading cornerback Aqib Talib (ribs) and other veteran players ahead of Tuesday's deadline in an effort to free up more money for recently acquired cornerback Jalen Ramsey, according to league sources. Talib, who is on Injured Reserve with fractured ribs, already turned down a chance to be traded […]

Week 8 is inbound, and we're getting more and more information every week about offensive line and defensive line play. Stat lines are less skewed by one great or one bad week. If an offensive line is good, you're going to know about it. To try and keep these quarterbacks healthy, it's up to the […]

Lions Getting Calls On Darius Slay

The Detroit Lions have been getting calls on cornerback Darius Slay as the trade deadline approaches, but it would take a lot to pry him away from the Lions, according to league sources. The 28-year-old is not playing in Week 8 due to injury, so his health could cause some problems if the Lions are […]

Keenan Allen Active But On Snap Count

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is active for Week 8 against the Bears, but he will likely be on a snap count on Sunday. Allen remains the team's primary aerial threat, but he'll be more of a low-ceiling WR3 with reduced snaps against one of the tougher defenses in the NFL, and […]

Below are our updated consensus Week 8 PPR rankings for fantasy football, including some running notes on relevant injuries, player news and rankings updates: Keenan Allen is active, but is expected to be on a snap count.

Duke Williams Active For Week 8

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Duke Williams (shoulder) is active for Week 8 against the Eagles. Williams has an excellent matchup against a porous Eagles secondary this weekend. The first-year professional has caught all five of his targets in his two games played for Buffalo this year, going for 52 yards and one touchdown. However, quarterback […]
