Josh Jacobs Expected To Play Sunday

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden expects rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) to play in Week 8 against the Texans. Jacobs will be listed as questionable on the final injury report, but he's expected to give it a go against Houston on the road. The rookie has been exceptional this year and has seen […]

Drew Brees Still In Play For Week 8

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton has declined to name a starting quarterback for Week 8 against the Cardinals. Drew Brees (thumb) was limited in practice on Thursday and isn't being ruled out over Teddy Bridgewater just yet. It wouldn't be a surprise if the Saints hold Brees out another week with their bye […]

Chiefs Defense Won't Have Chris Jones, Frank Clark

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) and defensive end Frank Clark (neck) have both been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Packers. It's a big loss for the Chiefs defensive front and great news for Packers running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams. Jones should be considered a must-start in this […]

Sammy Watkins Will Play Against Packers

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) will play on Sunday night against the Packers in Week 8. Watkins will make his first start since Sept. 29 against the Lions. Aside from his 198-yard, three-touchdown outlier in Week 1, Watkins didn't top 64 yards in his other three […]

Keenan Allen, Michael Badgley Questionable

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) and kicker Michael Badgley (groin) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Bears. Allen suffered a mid-week injury and missed practice both Thursday and Friday, so he's in serious danger of missing Sunday's game or being limited. Allen will be a bust candidate against […]

Darren Fells Could Be Worth Streaming

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells has been decently involved in Houston's offense this year, though not so much so that he's been worthy of being a weekly fantasy start. But for owners in need of a tight end in Week 8, Fells has a juicy matchup with a Raiders team that's allowing the seventh-most […]

Keke Coutee Remains A Fringe Option

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee scored a touchdown in Week 7, but it came off a pitch play near the goal line and shouldn't really be considered an indication of his season turning around. The second-year slot receiver has been a disappointment this season, with 13 catches for just 154 yards in six games. […]

Patrick Mahomes Won't Play In Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) will miss Kansas City's Week 8 meeting with the Green Bay Packers. This had been the expected situation since Mahomes injured his knee last Thursday, but his appearances at practice this week had introduced some hope into his ability to return to the field without missing a game. […]

O.J. Howard Ruled Out For Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (hamstring) has been ruled out of Tampa's Week 8 meeting with the Tennessee Titans. With Howard out, Cameron Brate will work as the team's main tight end. The Titans allow the 10th-most points per game to opposing tight ends, but the Buccaneers have shown a reluctance to target […]

Chris Herndon IV Unlikely To Play In Week 8

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) will be limited in practice again on Friday, but the New York Post's Brian Costello thinks it's doubtful that Herndon will play in Week 8 against the Jaguars. Herndon has yet to make his season debut after a suspension and after tweaking his hamstring while practicing […]

Davante Adams Not Fully Recovered

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) said his toe isn't fully recovered yet, but he's feeling a lot better. "I’m a little limited right now," Adams said, "but for the most part I can do a lot of different footwork stuff. It’s just the full-speed routes right now that are a little tougher […]

David Johnson A Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said that running back David Johnson (ankle, back) will likely be a game-time decision in Week 8 against the Saints. Johnson was active last week but played just two snaps and saw Chase Edmonds rack up yardage and three touchdowns against the Giants. Johnson is shaping up to be […]

Adam Thielen Expected Back In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer expects wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) to return in Week 9 against the Chiefs. Thielen was held out as a precaution in Thursday night's win over the Redskins. Expect Thielen to return to a great matchup that could be a shootout with the Chiefs if Patrick Mahomes (knee) is […]

Tyrell Williams Expected To Return In Week 8

Oakland Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Olson said that wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) "looked good yesterday and followed it up with another good day today. So, we're excited to get him back." It sounds like the Raiders expect Williams to return this Sunday against the Texans for the first time since Week 4. The first-year […]

Kenny Stills Has Upside In Week 8

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills is expected to operate as Houston's second outside receiver with Will Fuller (hamstring) sidelined. Against a Raiders Defense that allows the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers, Stills makes for an intriguing flex option. Last week, Stills returned from his own hamstring injury, playing 94 percent […]

Fantasy Football IDP Rankings for Week 8 (Top 100)

Back to another short bye, where only the Ravens and Cowboys will rest. A couple of high-end LBs will need to be replaced but otherwise there aren't many significant gaps in player availability. With offenses exploding recently, it's a fair question to ask whether players on top-flight units like the Bears Defense and 49ers Defense […]

Parris Campbell Has Good Chance To Play

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said he thinks there's a good chance that rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell (abdomen) will play in Week 8 against the Broncos. Campbell has been out since Week 4 and has only 10 catches (13 targets) for 62 yards and a touchdown in his four games this season. He […]

Duke Williams Questionable For Week 8

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Duke Williams (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 8 against the Eagles. As the team's No. 3 wideout, Williams has just five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown in two games this year. He can't be trusted in fantasy starting lineups just yet, even […]

Noah Fant Should Play Against Colts

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Noah Fant (foot) isn't practicing on Friday but should be ready to play in Week 8 against the Colts, according to a source. Fant could be questionable on the final injury report, but he should be out there on Sunday. The first-round pick doesn't have more than four catches or […]

DeAndre Hopkins Has Good Week 8 Matchup

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins broke out in Week 7, recording his first 100-yard game since Week 1. It was also his first time finding the end zone since Week 1, as the star receiver shook off a disappointing season. It's interesting to note that Hopkins' big day mostly came after Will Fuller (hamstring) […]

Duke Johnson Has Some Appeal In Week 8

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson hasn't been heavily featured in 2019. While that shouldn't change too much against the Oakland Raiders in Week 8, Johnson does have some fantasy appeal in deeper leagues, as Oakland has allowed the 12th-most receptions to opposing running backs this season. Maybe Johnson gets more involved in the passing […]

Pair of Points from Jakub Vrana Not Enough to Overcome Oilers

Washington Capitals forward Jakub Vrana picked up a goal and a power-play assist during Thursday's loss to the Oilers. Back on the scoresheet, Vrana is continuing to make the most of his limited usage, scoring seven points in 12 games despite seeing more than 14 minutes of ice time only once in his last nine […]

Zack Kassian Cashing in on Excellent Deployment

Edmonton Oilers forward Zack Kassian played alongside Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl in Thursday night's win, picking up a pair of assists along the way. Kassian received a season-high 22 minutes of ice time, with just over 20 minutes coming with McDavid and Draisaitl on the ice as well. Playing with Edmonton's two most effective […]

Zay Jones Expected To Play In Week 8

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones is expected to make his team debut in Week 8 against the Texans. Tyrell Williams (foot) has a chance to return this week as well from his two-game absence. It's unclear how much Jones will actually play if he's active, but if both he and Williams are active, it's […]

Connor McDavid Snaps Cold Streak in Victory Over Capitals

Edmonton Oilers superstar center Connor McDavid picked up three points in Edmonton's win over Washington, scoring a goal and an assist in the third period before adding an assist on the overtime game-winner. McDavid had been held scoreless through his last three games, a feat that he avoided all of last season, before jumping back […]
