Saints D/ST A Potential Streamer In Week 8

The New Orleans Saints defense had a solid start to the season, racking up 11 sacks and seven turnovers in their first three weeks while allowing no more than 19 points to their opponents. However, over their last four games, the unit has not lived up to those standards and gave up an average of […]

Blake Grupe A Bad Bet For Week 8

New Orleans Saints placekicker Blake Grupe was good on his only field goal attempt in Week 7. The make, from 35 yards out, kept Grupe perfect on field goal tries this season. He also converted his only extra-point attempt of the night. Facing the stiff defense of the Denver Broncos, the Saints found it hard […]

Juwan Johnson Ready For Week 8

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (shoulder) was limited in practice all week but carries no designation going into Sunday's matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Over the last two weeks with Spencer Rattler under center, Johnson has six receptions for 66 yards on nine targets. The production represents a modest bump up over […]

Cedrick Wilson Jr. Out For Week 8

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. (hip) was the Saints' most productive fantasy player in Week 7, catching six of his eight targets for 57 yards and a garbage-time touchdown. Unfortunately, he will not have a chance to repeat that feat in Week 8. Wilson logged a limited practice to start the week […]

Kendre Miller Just A Bench Stash

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller ended up as the team's leading rusher in Week 7, taking six carries for 36 yards. Featured back Alvin Kamara (hand, ribs) is nursing injuries that may finally be impacting his productivity (2.5 YPC in the last three weeks) which might open the door for Miller to see […]

Chris Olave Expected To Return In Week 8

After starting the week with a limited practice session, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave logged back-to-back full practices ahead of the team's Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Olave suffered a concussion on the Saints' third play from scrimmage in Week 6 and was removed from that game accordingly and sat […]

Alvin Kamara Good To Go For Week 8

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hand, ribs) was limited in practice all week but carries no designation for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Kamara revealed earlier this week that he broke his hand in Week 5 against the Chiefs and has been playing through the pain ever since. That may explain […]

Spencer Rattler Not On Fantasy Radar In Week 8

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler popped up on the team's injury report this week with a hip injury but was able to practice in full. Rattler went down awkwardly near the end of the Saints' Week 7 matchup against the Broncos and was removed from that game to avoid aggravating the injury. With Derek […]

Kansas City Chiefs Defense With A Favorable Week 8 Matchup

The Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 8. Despite being visitors at Allegiant Stadium, the Chiefs are nearly 10-point favorites against the Raiders. The Kansas City defense has been one of the steadiest options in fantasy football this season. The Chiefs have given up more than […]

Harrison Butker To Continue Kicking Success

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. Butker knocked through all four extra-point attempts in Week 7 against the San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs kicker did not attempt a field goal in last week's contest. From a fantasy perspective, Butker's performance was poor, but he made every […]

Xavier Worthy Hoping To Benefit From Hopkins Trade

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. With the Chief acquiring All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins from the Tennessee Titans, Worthy will likely slide to WR2 on the depth chart. Although the rookie receiver is bursting with potential, he has shown he's not yet ready to […]

Eddy Pineiro Should Expect Another Quiet Day At Work In Week 8

There's not much to say about Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro this season. He's the least of Carolina's problems, maybe because they've hardly seen him. Pineiro has attempted just 10 field goals this year—making nine of them—and is 11-for-11 on PATs. While not a trustworthy fantasy option, but it will be interesting to see if […]

Ja'Tavion Sanders Doesn't Carry An Injury Designation Against Denver

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (groin, wrist) doesn't carry an injury designation against the Denver Broncos in Week 8. He was dealing with a groin and wrist injury but fully practiced on Friday and is good to go for Sunday's game. Sanders has some momentum heading into their Week 8 matchup against Denver. The […]

Travis Kelce To Bounce Back In Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. Since the loss of Rashee Rice due to a knee injury, Kelce has been the benefactor of the relinquished targets. After two weeks of strong utilization in the offense, Kelce had a down game in Week 7. Kelce had […]

Jonathan Mingo To See Increased Reps Against Broncos

With Carolina Panthers wide receivers Adam Thielen (hamstring) and Diontae Johnson (ribs) out in Week 8, sophomore wideout Jonathan Mingo is set to make his first start against the Denver Broncos. It's been a disappointing start to the career of Mingo, who was a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft. He has yet to […]

Panthers DST Still To Be Avoided In Week 8

The Carolina Panthers' organizational dysfunction should leave any manager wary of relying on Carolina players, never mind banking on two-thirds of their team. While the Denver Broncos' offense ranks bottom third of the league in scoring, yards per game, and giveaways, the Panthers' defense matches their skill. Carolina ranks dead last in opponent points per […]

Kareem Hunt Should Be Busy In Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. Hunt has been the undisputed leader of the backfield since his first game back in Kansas City, and that should continue to be the case until the eventual return of Isiah Pacheco. The Raiders ranked 25th in fantasy […]

Xavier Legette Has Major Opportunity, And Test, In Week 8

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette finds himself in unfamiliar territory against the Denver Broncos in Week 8. With receivers Adam Thielen (hamstring) and Diontae Johnson (ribs) ruled out, Legette should slide in as WR1 in Carolina's offense. Quarterback Bryce Young will also take the reigns from Andy Dalton (thumb), making his third start […]

Chuba Hubbard Looks To Remain Consistent Against Denver

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard aims to remain the team's lone offensive constant as they head to Denver in Week 8. While not a high bar, Hubbard has undoubtedly been the Panthers' MVP through seven games, accounting for 33% of their total touchdowns. Last week, he posted his lowest yardage total since Week 1—52 […]

Patrick Mahomes With Easy Matchup In Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. The Raiders were already a favorable matchup before trading Davante Adams to the New York Jets, but now they are an even less formidable opponent. Despite his team's undefeated record, Mahomes has been one of the most disappointing quarterbacks […]

Bryce Young To Re-Enter The Belly Of The Beast In Week 8

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is set to make his third start of the year with Andy Dalton (thumb) doubtful to play in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Young was benched following a Week 2 thrashing by the Los Angeles Chargers, where he threw for just 84 yards and an interception. Despite notable offensive […]

Jacob Cowing Has Outside Chance At Fantasy Relevance In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers rookie Jacob Cowing should see some involvement at wide receiver when the team hosts the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. The fourth-rounder spent the first weeks of the season on the active roster returning punts before seeing his first career offensive action in Week 7. He delivered two catches on three targets […]

Ricky Pearsall Has Starting Potential In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall will suit up for his second NFL game in Week 8 at home against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. The 31st-overall pick in the 2024 draft was modestly involved in his debut, producing three catches on five targets for 21 yards in a game that saw […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Causes Havoc On Basepaths

New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. made his presence known in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday, swiping three bags and scoring an important run late in the game. Jazz stole third base in the top of the 10th and scored on a fielder's choice right after, giving the Yanks a […]

Brock Purdy With Good Matchup, Depleted Weapons In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy takes his snaps in Week 8 at home against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Purdy had a bad game against Kansas City last week, but it wasn't his worst game in fantasy due to two QB sneaks for touchdowns. He went 17-of-31 for 212 yards passing with three […]

Giancarlo Stanton Keeps On Raking In Postseason

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton did it again in Game 1 on Friday, smacking a two-run homer to give the Yanks a 2-1 lead. They would end up losing 6-3, but Stanton cannot be faulted. He now has a whopping six homers in 39 postseason at-bats, and has homered in four straight. His […]

Freddie Freeman Hits First Ever Walk-Off Grand Slam In World Series

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman played the hero in Game 1 of the World Series, hitting a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the 10th to send the crowd into a frenzy and give the Dodgers a 6-3 win. Freeman demolished the first pitch he saw from lefty Nestor Cortes, who was […]

Tyler Huntley Lands On Injured Reserve

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder) was placed on the Injured Reserve list on Friday. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) missing the last few games, Huntley has been under center. However, he didn't do much with his afforded opportunity, throwing for 377 yards, one touchdown, and one interception off 59.1% passing. Fortunately for the Dolphins, Tagovailoa […]

DJ Chark Jr. Questionable For Week 8

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (groin) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the New Orleans Saints. The 28-year-old has yet to take the field as a Charger. However, he's moving in the right direction after logging three limited practices throughout the week. Los Angeles is hurting on the offensive side of the […]

Deshaun Watson Undergoes Successful Surgery

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) underwent successful surgery on Friday. He's expected to make a full recovery. The signal-caller suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in the divisional matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals, ending his season. Watson had a year to forget in 2024-25, throwing for 1,148 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions. He also […]
