Greg Gaines, Tykee Smith Inactive For Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Greg Gaines (calf) and safety Tykee Smith (concussion) are listed as inactive for Sunday's tilt against the Atlanta Falcons. Gaines logged a limited practice on Thursday but was downgraded to a non-participant on Friday with a calf injury. Smith entered concussion protocol in Week 7 and has been unable to […]

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

Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker (concussion) will not play in Week 8 when the Green Bay Packers face the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 24-year-old has been dealing with a concussion and was unable to pass through the league's protocol before the game. However, he was able to log two limited practice sessions on Thursday and […]

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. Dugger had logged two consecutive full practices to end the week but presumably suffered some sort of setback early in the weekend, making him unavailable to play versus the Jets. He […]

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. Simmons logged two limited practice sessions earlier in the week but was downgraded to a non-participant on Friday. 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 […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Inactive Against Green Bay

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction Sunday morning. Etienne will ultimately miss his second consecutive game, creating yet another opportunity for Tank Bigsby to strengthen his hold on the […]

Allen Lazard Officially Inactive Against Patriots

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (chest) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as doubtful, so this news does not come as a surprise. The veteran receiver has been productive this season, catching 30 passes for 412 yards and five touchdowns while ranking as the […]

Tyreek Hill Suiting Up Against Arizona

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (foot) is officially active for Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable after missing practice on Friday. In the end, though, he's suiting up. It figures to be a great week for fantasy managers invested in Hill because Tua Tagovailoa is making his return […]

Tee Higgins Inactive For Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quadricep) is inactive for Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Higgins was a late addition to the injury report on Friday and ended up entering this weekend listed as questionable. While he had optimism about his status, the Bengals decided to make him inactive following pregame warmups. Ja'Marr Chase […]

Tank Bigsby, Jalen McMillan, Darnell Mooney: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 8

Week 8 of the NFL season is upon us and it's time to make some crucial decisions about your starting lineup. With so many players dealing with injuries, there are plenty of fantasy gamers rolling with players they managed to add from the waiver wire. Tank Bigsby, Jalen McMillan, and Darnell Mooney were not drafted […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Ruled Out For Monday's Game

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the New York Giants. The veteran back has been limited in practice all week and now will miss his fourth straight game. His absence won't mean too much with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren both healthy heading […]

Is Isiah Pacheco The Starting Running Back For The Chiefs When He Returns?

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (fibula) fractured his leg in Week 2 of this season. He was put on injured reserve and underwent successful surgery to repair the issue, and has since been in rehab. It's a tough loss for the Chiefs, fantasy managers, and the RB himself. He was coming off a […]

Justin Fields Added To Injury Report

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields (hamstring) has been added to the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the New York Giants. This is not good news with Fields suffering an injury only a day before gameday. His absence shouldn't make much of an impact given the fact that Russell Wilson has taken over the […]

Chase McLaughlin Loses Streaming Appeal

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin finally missed his first field goal attempt of the season during last week's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Despite that, McLaughlin has been one of the more consistent fantasy options at the kicker spot this season. The biggest problem now is that the Bucs lost their top two wideouts […]

Dontayvion Wicks Has Shaky Flex Appeal

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks has been a boom-or-bust option throughout this season. Last week, Wicks hauled in three of his six targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Houston Texans. It was a nice outing from the 23-year-old, but his value is going to be shaky going […]

Is Gus Edwards The Starting Running Back For The Chargers When He Returns?

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards (ankle) is currently on injured reserve after suffering an ankle injury after his Week 4 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He won't be eligible to return to the field until Week 10, when his team will take on the Tennessee Titans.  Not that that makes much of […]

Cowboys Defense Off Fantasy Radar For Week 8

The Dallas Cowboys defense is coming off of their worst outing of the season after surrendering 47 points to the Detroit Lions in Week 6. With Micah Parsons (ankle), DaRon Bland (foot), and Jordan Phillips (wrist) all sidelined and Eric Kendricks (shoulder) and Caelen Carson (shoulder) listed as questionable, this unit remains beaten up. The […]

Is JuJu Smith-Schuster A Starter For The Chiefs When He Returns?

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) looked like he would be a breakout fantasy start for exactly one game in 2024. In Week 5, he caught 7 passes on eight targets for 130 yards. The role of Chief Chain-Mover that was vacated by the fallen Rashee Rice (Patty Patomic-induced knee break) seemed to […]

Tee Higgins Facing Uphill Battle To Play

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) remains uncertain heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Higgins suffered a quad injury on Friday and now faces an uphill battle to suit up this weekend. The Bengals are likely going to wait and see how Higgins feels during warmups before making a final […]

D'Ernest Johnson Could Carry Flex Value

Jacksonville Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson is expected to once again see a heavier workload in the backfield. It seems likely that fellow back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is going to be sidelined once again. That means, Johnson should serve as the primary backup to Tank Bigsby on Sunday. Last week, Johnson rushed nine times […]

Mason Tipton Risky For Week 8

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Mason Tipton is coming off his best performance of the season. He hauled in six of his nine targets for 45 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. It was a surprisingly high workload for Tipton who hadn't finished with more than two receptions in any previous contests. It's […]

Justice Hill Tough To Trust In Week 8

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has been an inconsistent fantasy option throughout the season. Last week, Hill was able to salvage his fantasy value with three receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown through the air. Hill has struggled as a runner this season with only two games over 20 yards heading into the […]

Pierre Strong Jr. Avoidable For Week 8

Cleveland Browns running back Pierre Strong Jr. is expected to serve as the top backup for the Week 8 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Browns are shorthanded at running back with Jerome Ford (hamstring) sidelined again. That means, Strong should get mixed in as the change-of-pace back behind Nick Chubb. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect […]

Simi Fehoko Could See More Involvement

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Simi Fehoko was hardly involved in the offense until a few weeks ago. However, the 26-year-old has seen an increased role lately with the Chargers banged up at wideout. Over the last two weeks, Fehoko has hauled in five of his 10 targets for 89 yards. There's a good chance […]
