Mike Williams May See More Snaps Versus The Pats

New York Jets wide receiver Mike Williams could see some more snaps on Sunday versus the Patriots. With Allen Lazard (chest) doubtful, the former Charger may serve as the No. 3 wideout on the depth chart behind Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson. Williams tenure with the Jets hasn't been productive, amassing only 11 catches (19 […]

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Ready For More Involvement In Week 8?

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has only three catches this season. However, two of them resulted in a trip to the end zone. While the 27-year-old has a way to go before earning trust from fantasy managers, the door is open for more involvement after DeAndre Hopkins was traded to the Chiefs. Granted, Tyler […]

Tim Patrick Gaining Flex Attention For Week 8

Detroit Lions wide receiver Tim Patrick has just 10 catches for 165 yards this season. However, with Jameson Williams (suspension) out for the next few games, Patrick is starting to gain attention from fantasy managers heading into the Week 8 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Without question, it will be business as usual for Amon-Ra […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Now Doubtful For Monday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) is now listed as doubtful for Monday night against the New York Giants. He's been limited at practice throughout the week, and head coach Mike Tomlin indicated there was a shot he'd be back for Week 8. However, it appears the veteran will miss his fourth straight game […]

Lonzo Ball Available Versus OKC

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (injury maintenance) is available for Saturday's meeting with OKC. Ball played in his first game in years on Wednesday versus the Pelicans, amassing five points, four assists, and two rebounds in 14 minutes. But he didn't suit up on Friday against Milwaukee, the first of back-to-back contests. This will likely […]

Sam Hauser Out Again On Saturday

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) won't play in Saturday's game against the Pistons. Hauser had 10 points and five boards in the opening night win over the New York Knicks. However, he'll now miss his second game of the 2024-25 campaign because of low back pain. Without Hauser, Payton Pritchard, coming off a 15-point […]

Anders Carlson A Shaky Option In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers kicker Anders Carlson will kick off to the Dallas Cowboys at home in Week 8 on Sunday Night Football. The former Auburn Tiger and Green Bay Packer is the third kicker the 49ers have deployed this year, after Jake Moody (ankle) and Matthew Wright (shoulder) both were injured on tackle attempts. Last […]

Jaylen Warren A Desperation Flex Play In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has been quiet this season but could finally break through for fantasy purposes against the New York Giants in Week 8. Warren dealt with injuries to begin the campaign and started to look more like his explosive self last week. He took the field for over 50% of the […]

LaMelo Ball Questionable For Saturday Night

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (tailbone) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Miami Heat. The 23-year-old has been on fire this season, averaging 34.0 points, 7.5 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and 50.0% shooting from behind the arc. Unfortunately, he's in danger of missing Saturday's contest. If that happens, it would be a tough blow for […]

Steelers DST A Top-Five Option Against Giants

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense led the charge in a victory over the Jets last week and will hope to repeat this success against the New York Giants in Week 8. This contest has defensive slugfest written all over it, with the lowest over/under of the week and both defenses performing at a high level this […]

Broncos D/ST, A Smash Week 8 Play

The Denver Broncos D/ST is a top option in Week 8 when they square off against the Carolina Panthers this Sunday. Denver's defense has been one of the more staunch tests for opposing offenses in 2024, and they get a tantalizing outing this Sunday against the Bryce Young-led Panthers offense. Carolina is scoring just 15.7 […]

Ja Morant Uncertain To Face Orlando

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (thigh) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 2019 No. 2 overall pick has played well in his first two appearances in 2024-25, averaging 23.0 points and 6.0 assists. But now Morant is in danger of missing the third game on the Grizzlies' schedule because of thigh […]

Brian Burns Off The Injury Report

New York Giants linebacker Brian Burns (groin) is off the injury report and is expected to play on Monday evening against the Pittsburgh Steelers according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.

Alec Pierce A Boom/Bust WR5 In Week 8

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has had some big plays this season, however, they've come on few catches. The 24-year-old owns a superb 25.5 yards per reception average thus far but has just 15 total catches in seven games. One of those catches was a 60-yard touchdown back in Week 1 versus the Texans, […]

San Francisco 49ers D/ST Faces A Rested Cowboys In Week 8

The San Francisco 49ers D/ST hosts the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8 on Sunday Night Football. They come into the game as the fifth-most productive unit in fantasy, averaging eight points per game. Last week the 49ers D sacked Patrick Mahomes twice and picked him off twice, but allowed 28 points. Dallas' offense ranks near […]

Chris Boswell Can Remain In Starting Lineups Against Giants

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell continued what has been a sensational 2024 campaign in Week 7 and will stay at home this week for a Monday night showdown against the New York Giants. While it is worth noting that the Giants have not surrendered a ton of production to fantasy kickers, and that this contest […]

Wil Lutz An Excellent Week 8 Option

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz is one of the better Week 8 options when his team takes on the Carolina Panthers. Lutz has been outstanding this season, knocking through all 12 of his extra-point attempts while drilling 17-of-18 field goal tries (94.4%). The 30-year-old gets an excellent matchup this Sunday against a Panthers squad that's […]

Tyjae Spears Ruled Out For Week 8

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) was downgraded to out for Week 8. Spears did not suit up last weekend but returned to practice this week in a limited capacity. However, he was unable to progress enough and will now set his sights on returning in Week 9 to face the New England Patriots. […]

DeForest Buckner Activated, Evan Hull Waived

Indianapolis Colts defensive lineman DeForest Buckner (ankle) was activated off the injured reserve and will return to action on Sunday. In a corresponding move the Colts waived running back Evan Hull. Buckner has been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury during the second week of the season. In the season opener, Buckner had a productive […]

Pat Freiermuth Lacks Upside In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has been underwhelming in recent weeks and will look to get back on track against the New York Giants in Week 8. With Russell Wilson under center, Pittsburgh's passing attack was much more exciting last week, but Freiermuth ceded a surprising amount of opportunities to fellow tight end Darnell […]

Lucas Krull Not In Play Vs. Panthers

Denver Broncos tight end Lucas Krull will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 8 this Sunday. The third-year tight end was the team's second-leading receiver in Week 7's 33-10 domination of a depleted Saints squad. Despite being listed as the second-string option behind teammate Adam Trautman on Denver's depth chart, Krull has out-targeted, out-received, and […]

Dalvin Cook Set To Make Dallas Debut

Dallas Cowboys running back Dalvin Cook was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad on Saturday and is expected to make his Dallas debut on Sunday evening in San Francisco according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The veteran running back joined the Cowboys during the last week of August but has yet to […]

George Pickens Back In WR2 Consideration Against Giants

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens finally got rolling this season with Russell Wilson at quarterback in Week 7 and could continue heating up against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Pickens has been Pittsburgh's clear top option in the passing game all year but his talents seem to align perfectly with Wilson's […]

Kyle Dugger Added To Injury Report

New England Patriots safety Kyle Dugger (ankle) was added to the injury report and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Dugger initially opened the week as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice but then upgraded to full participation on Thursday. However, seeing Dugger return to the injury report and […]

Devaughn Vele, Not A Viable Week 8 Option

Denver Broncos wide receiver Devaughn Vele will square off against the Carolina Panthers this Sunday in Week 8. Vele recorded just one catch on three targets for 20 yards in last Thursday's win over the Saints, the lowest totals of his career thus far. It's a stark contrast to the 78 yards on 4-of-6 receiving […]

Najee Harris Should Stay Productive In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris got off to a slow start this season but has turned in two consecutive 100-yard performances with a touchdown. He should have a good shot of continuing this productive stretch against the New York Giants in Week 8. The Giants have given up the eighth-most rushing yards per game […]

Will Dissly Questionable For Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Dissly did not participate during Wednesday's and Thursday's practice but returned to practice on Friday in a limited capacity which is a promising sign for his status this weekend. Last weekend, the 28-year-old tight end […]

Russell Wilson A QB2 For MNF

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson will follow up an impressive Week 7 outing with a Monday night showdown against the New York Giants. Wilson found the end zone three times last week in what should have been a difficult matchup against the Jets' defense. The Giants have been much more generous to quarterbacks this season […]

Jayden Daniels Remains Questionable, Will Go Through Further Treatment On Saturday

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels (ribs) remains questionable for Sunday's game according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Rapoport further reported that the rookie will do a walk-through, and go through further treatment on Saturday.
