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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Drake London A Reliable WR1 In Favorable Matchup

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has produced six consecutive games with at least six receptions while scoring a touchdown in five of seven overall.

Washington Commanders Defense Faces Tougher Task In Week 8

The Washington Commanders defense is coming off one of their best performances of the season, where they held the Carolina Panthers to just seven points.

Zach Ertz To See Low-End TE1 Production Against Chicago

After seeing a season-high eight targets and four receptions in Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens, Brown took a significant step back in Week 7 as he caught just one pass […]

Terry McLaurin Remains High-End WR2 In Week 8

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin should be viewed as a high-end WR2 in Week 8, even if he is without his QB1. Last weekend, with No. 2 QB Marcus Mariota playing most of the game, McLaurin caught six passes for 98 yards. This was his fifth straight game eclipsing double-digit PPR points. During this […]

Austin Ekeler Poised For Bounce Back Performance

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler should be poised for a bounce back performance in Week 8 after having his worst game of the campaign last weekend. Facing the Carolina Panthers, the Commanders had a sizeable lead all afternoon and did not need to deploy their primary pass-catching back too often. Ekeler totaled a season-low […]

Brian Robinson Jr. To See Heavy Workload In Week 8

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. should be viewed as a solid RB2 facing the Chicago Bears, as he could see an increased workload. With rookie QB Jayden Daniels (ribs) being a game-time decision, the Alabama product could be relieved heavily with Marcus Mariota under center. Even though Robinson was sidelined in Week 6 […]

Marcus Mariota Could Be High-End QB2 Against Chicago

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota could be a viable high-end QB2 in Superflex formats if he is given the starting nod in Week 8.

Dolphins Defense A Risky Streaming Option For Week 8

The Miami Dolphins DST has been a tale of two sides in 2024 and will look to limit the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. On one side, they are one of the best defenses in the NFL at defending the pass. On the other hand, they are one of the worst at defending the run. […]

Zion Williamson On Minutes Restriction

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (illness) will be under a minutes restriction for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
