Khalil Herbert Scratched Ahead Of Week 8

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old has seen his role essentially disappear this season. He hasn't registered a touch since Week 3, logging only a few snaps during that span. Now, with Travis Homer active, Herbert is the odd man […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Not Playing Against Raiders

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He was activated from the non-football injury list earlier this month but has not played since then. Sunday represents the second consecutive absence for Edwards-Helaire, who is evidently behind Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine, and Carson Steele […]

Panthers Head Into Week 8 Without Andy Dalton, Jonathon Brooks

The Carolina Panthers will not have quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) or running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Dalton is inactive after injuring his right thumb during a minor car accident earlier this week. His absence re-inserts Bryce Young into the Panthers starting lineup for Week 8. Meanwhile, Brooks is […]

Tommy Tremble Active For Week 8

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble (back) is officially active for Week 8 against the Denver Broncos. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The 24-year-old has been active for four games this season, totaling just seven catches and 59 yards. Despite […]

Jakobi Meyers Officially Active Versus Chiefs

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (abdomen) is officially active for Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday.

Harrison Bryant Inactive Against Chiefs Sunday

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Harrison Bryant (elbow) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing three consecutive practices. Bryant hasn't been on the fantasy radar this year, but he has been playing well with five catches […]

Jayden Daniels Will Suit Up Against Bears

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (ribs) will officially play and start against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The rookie phenom was questionable heading into the day, and it looks like he's feeling good enough to start against a solid Bears defense. This also means we'll get to see the first and second-overall picks go head-to-head. […]

DK Metcalf Officially Inactive Against Bills

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) was originally listed as doubtful heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. He has now been deemed inactive which will move Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett into the top two receiver spots. Jake Bobo will also likely see some snaps and targets while the Seahawks […]

Sterling Shepard Questionable To Return With Hamstring Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hamstring) has now been listed as questionable to return to Sunday's contest as he deals with a hamstring injury that he picked up in the second quarter. The Buccaneers are already dealing with a thin receiver corps, so they'll now have to rely on fewer pass-catchers. Cade Otton […]

Drake Maye Will Not Return Sunday

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye (head) left Sunday's game against the New York Jets with a head injury in the first half. He was originally ruled questionable to return, but has since been downgraded and will not come back in this contest. He leaves after throwing 3-for-6 for 23 yards and taking three carries […]

Gabe Davis Questionable To Return Against Packers

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder) has been deemed questionable to return Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. The veteran pass-catcher left in the second quarter with a shoulder issue and hasn't received the green light to go back into the game. Christian Kirk and Brian Thomas Jr. should see more opportunities while both […]

Drake Maye Questionable To Return In Week 8

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye (head) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the New York Jets and is officially questionable to return. The No. 3 overall pick looked solid before departing in Week 8 as he racked up 23 passing yards, 46 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown. He also took […]

Jayden Daniels Expected To Start Barring Setback

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels (ribs) is expected to start barring a late setback according to Tracy Wolfson of CBS Sports. Wolfson reported that head coach Dan Quinn feels "really good where Jayden is at" and should be in line to start barring a pregame setback. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status […]

Ezekiel Elliott - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is the RB58 in full-PPR on the season. He's taken a backseat to fellow RB Rico Dowdle and might be about to participate in a disgusting three-way commitee -- former Minnesota Vikings star RB Dalvin Cook is joining the fray, and was […]

It’s great to be back in the swing of things in the NBA, RotoBallers. In these articles, I focus on the top plays, traditionally geared toward cash games. However, with over a decade of NBA DFS experience under my belt—and as someone who rarely dives into cash formats—I'm selecting picks that also typically come with […]

Jacob Cowing - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5/WR6 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jacob Cowing could have fantasy value if a lot of things went right. If fellow WRs Deebo Samuel Sr. (wrist/illness) and Ricky Pearsall didn't start, he might be worth a start. Or if head coach and playcaller Kyle Shanahan liked using rookies more. But neither […]

Dalvin Cook - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB6/RB (insert bigger number here) ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys running back Dalvin Cook was elevated to the active roster for Sunday Night Football in Week 8. That's interesting news, but he should not be started in any leagues right now. He took first-team reps in practice, but will face a stout […]

Is Jerome Ford The Starting Running Back For The Browns When He Returns?

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (hamstring) will miss his second week in a row due to a hamstring ailment. He wasn't quite the fantasy asset he was in 2023, when he filled in for injured running back Nick Chubb after he went down with a season-ending knee injury. Ford was seen as a great […]

Devonte Wyatt Suiting Up In Week 8

Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt (ankle) will play in Week 8 according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

Is Jonathon Brooks The Starting Running Back For The Panthers When He Returns?

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) is inching closer and closer to his return (we swear he is, barring something extreme). As many know, he tore his ACL in November last year after a great season with the Texas Longhorns and was drafted in the second round of the NFL Draft by the blue […]

Romeo Doubs, Rashod Bateman, Chris Olave: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 8

Through seven weeks of the 2024 NFL campaign, we've seen plenty of unpredictable performances and enough injuries to drive any fantasy manager mad. It's important to keep in mind that despite how tumultuous the season has been so far, there is still more than enough time to right the ship. To do so, however, you'll […]

Sean Murphy-Bunting, Roy Lopez Inactive For Week 8

Arizona Cardinals defensive back Sean Murphy-Bunting (neck) and defensive tackle Roy Lopez (ankle) will not suit up in Week 8 to face the Miami Dolphins. Bunting was unable to practice all week due to a neck injury he suffered in last week's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Lopez was also unable to practice all […]

Will Levis Inactive, Mason Rudolph To Start Week 8

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (right shoulder) is inactive for Week 8 against the Detroit Lions. He was listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week. With Levis sidelined, the Titans will roll out Mason Rudolph as their starting quarterback for the second consecutive week. Last Sunday, he completed a respectable 62.5 percent […]

Quay Walker Sitting Out In Week 8

Kyle Dugger, Josh Uche Inactive Versus Jets

New England Patriots safety Kyle Dugger (ankle) and linebacker Josh Uche (coach's decision) are both inactive for Week 8 against the New York Jets.

Justin Simmons Inactive For Week 8

Atlanta Falcons defensive back Justin Simmons (hamstring) will not suit up on Sunday according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The 30-year-old safety will now set his sights on returning in Week 9 to face the Dallas Cowboys. […]

Marlon Humphrey Inactive Versus Cleveland

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (knee) is officially inactive for Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns. This news is not surprising given that Humphrey missed all three practices this week and was listed as doubtful heading into the weekend. With the 28-year-old officially sidelined for the first time this year, look for Arthur Maulet to […]

Bucky Irving Active For Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (toe) will suit up on Sunday afternoon when the Buccaneers face the Atlanta Falcons. Irving did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was able to return to a limited participation on Friday afternoon. Fantasy managers should expect the rookie to be deployed as the N2. 2 option […]

Zay Flowers Active For Week 8

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (ankle) is active for Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns. He had been listed as questionable. The young pass-catcher missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before logging a limited session on Friday, so his availability for Week 8 was far from guaranteed. In the end, though, he'll be able […]
