IDP Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 8 - Streamers, Fades, Matchups for Defensive Players

Week 8 marks an odd time in the NFL schedule. It is a period after several teams have had their bye weeks, yet it’s a time before many others do. Despite that, Week 8 is the eye of the storm. It’s a rare moment where no NFL team is on bye … for some reason. […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports for Tight Ends: Week 8 - Updates for Evan Engram, T.J. Hockenson, Dallas Goedert, George Kittle

It’s Week 8, nearly halfway through the 2024-25 campaign. It hasn’t been a memorable season for tight ends around the National Football League. Many in the position haven’t met expectations, while others have had issues just staying healthy enough to get on the field. Being up-to-date on NFL injury news can give you an edge […]

NFL DFS Lineup Picks For FanDuel, DraftKings - Vikings vs. Rams TNF Showdown (Week 8)

Welcome back, RotoBallers! That Cardinals game on Monday was quite the snoozefest up until the end. It did not go how I had imagined but that is okay as there is always the next game. This one should be a solid Thursday night game as Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings look to bounce back […]

Regression Due For Rams D/ST

The Los Angeles Rams' defense turned in their best game of the season in Week 7, holding the Las Vegas Raiders to 15 points and registering two sacks, three interceptions, and a fumble recovered and returned for a touchdown. It was the first time in 2024 that Los Angeles kept an opponent under 24 points […]

Joshua Karty Not A Good Option In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty's only field goal attempt in Week 7 caromed off the right upright for a miss, his second of 2024. Karty also missed an extra point attempt for the second time in as many contests, having missed a chance in the Rams' Week 5 contest against the Green Bay Packers […]

Colby Parkinson An Easy Pass In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson went from a high of 13 targets to matching a season-low of two on either side of the team's Week 6 bye. Even with the multi-week absences of Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee), Parkinson never made real headway in establishing himself as a bankable option in […]

Blake Corum Better Off Benched In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has seen minimal play on offense and Week 7 was no different. The third-rounder out of Michigan took three carries for 11 yards in the Rams' 20-15 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Kyren Williams has a firm grasp on the top of the running back depth chart […]

Demarcus Robinson A Risky Play With Cooper Kupp Returning

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson could not take advantage of the multi-week absences of teammates Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee). In Week 7's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Robinson experienced a new low, finishing with a single catch for nine yards, bringing his reception total to 13 through the Rams' […]

Tutu Atwell Has Favorable Matchup In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell's team-high nine targets in Week 7 translated to six catches for 51 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders. Atwell achieved PPR relevance in recent weeks, averaging five catches and 71 yards per game going back to Week 3. The influx of targets he saw over the last two […]

Kyren Williams Looks To Extend TD Streak In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams gained 76 rushing yards and scored two touchdowns on 21 carries against the Raiders in Week 7. It was his second multi-score game of 2024 and the ninth consecutive game dating back to last season where he made his way to the end zone. In Week 8 the […]

Matthew Stafford A QB2 In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been a fantasy dud since losing Cooper Kupp (ankle) to injury in Week 2. His last game epitomized his struggles as the once prolific passer went 14-for-23 for 154 yards and an interception against the Las Vegas Raiders, marking the third time Stafford failed to crack double digits […]

LeBron and Bronny James Make History in Lakers' Opening Night Win

This was a historic moment years in the making. Everyone was already talking about the prospect of seeing the first father-and-son duo to hit an NBA floor at the same time the moment the Los Angeles Lakers drafted Bronny James as the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Fortunately, the fans didn't have to […]

Is Jauan Jennings Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 8

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) had the biggest game of the season for any wide receiver in Week 3. While he hasn't even reached one third of that point total since, he clearly does have talent and can benefit from the absence of some receivers ahead of him on the depth chart. […]

Micah Parsons, DaRon Bland Don't Practice Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons (ankle) and cornerback DaRon Bland (foot) were both absent from practice on Wednesday. As prep for Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers begins, the Cowboys find themselves short two key defensive playmakers. Parsons has been sidelined since Week 4 against the Giants and now appears to be at risk […]

Taysom Hill, Juwan Johnson Limited As Week 8 Prep Begins

New Orleans Saints tight ends Taysom Hill (rib) and Juwan Johnson (shoulder) were both limited participants during practice on Wednesday. On one hand, any sort of appearance on the injury report is worth monitoring as it means the player in question is less than 100 percent. However, fantasy managers should find some optimism in the […]

Derek Carr Doesn't Practice Wednesday, Not Expected To Play In Week 8

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. The 33-year-old has been sidelined since Week 5 and is expected to miss his third consecutive game this Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to head coach Dennis Allen. Specifically, Allen noted that Carr has resumed throwing, which is a step […]

Nick Bosa Limited As Week 8 Prep Begins

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (elbow) was limited during Wednesday's practice. While any sort of appearance on the injury report is less than ideal, it's good to see that Bosa was able to get on the field in some capacity as the 49ers begin to practice ahead of Week 8 versus the Dallas […]

Jake Moody Absent From Practice To Begin Week 8

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody (right ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. As of now, it appears the second-year kicker is trending toward missing his third consecutive game. The kicking position has suddenly been a revolving door for San Francisco, which has depended on the legs of Moody, Matthew Wright, and Anders Carlson […]

Jordan Mason Limited In Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason (shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. The 25-year-old running back and interim starter with Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) sidelined, Mason finds himself on the injury report once again but is trending toward playing against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8. While the last few games haven't treated […]

Giants Not Expected To Fire Brian Daboll, Joe Schoen

New York Giants co-owner John Mara said on Wednesday that there will not be any changes during the regular season with the team and he doesn't expect any changes to happen during the offseason, either. While Mara and the rest of the Giants' front-office decision-makers could always change their minds later in the year, right […]

Patrick Surtain II Practicing In Full

Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II (concussion) put in a full practice to open the week on Wednesday. Surtain suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers and was unable to gain clearance to play on a quick turnaround in last Thursday night's blowout win over the New Orleans […]

Will Cooper Kupp Be Traded This Season? Potential Landing Spot For Rams Wide Receiver

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is now a 31-year-old on a 2-4 team that's been decimated by injuries and has a 36-year-old quarterback. Teams in situations like this tend to want to trade players away, so it's no surprise that the All-Pro has been the subject of swirling trade rumors in recent days. […]

Joey Bosa Logs Limited Session

Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Joey Bosa (hip) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday to open the week. Bosa has dealt with a litany of injuries over the last four seasons -- the most recent of which prevented him from suiting up since he played just two snaps back in Week 3. It's […]

Will Dissly, Hayden Hurst Listed As DNP

Los Angeles Chargers tight ends Will Dissly (shoulder) and Hayden Hurst (groin) were both listed as non-participants for Wednesday's practice. Hurst suffered a groin injury in the team's Week 6 victory over the Denver Broncos, playing just seven snaps before exiting the contest not to return. He's yet to practice since picking up the ailment. […]

DJ Chark Limited Again Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark (groin) was again listed as limited in his team's first practice of the week. It's Chark's fourth straight limited session since the Chargers activated his 21-day practice window last Wednesday. The 28-year-old was placed on Injured Reserve just one day before the team's season opener. He may return […]

Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston Miss Practice On Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Ladd McConkey (hip) and Quentin Johnston (ankle) were both tagged with DNPs on Wednesday to open the week. Johnston was listed as doubtful heading into Week 7 but was eventually ruled out and has yet to practice in any capacity since picking up an ankle injury in the team's 23-16 […]

Curtis Samuel Tagged With DNP Wednesday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (pectoral) was listed as a non-participant in the team's Wednesday practice. Samuel played on just two snaps in Buffalo's victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday before being ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The 28-year-old sustained the injury on what appeared to be a routine play […]

Mets Expect Active Offseason

New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said on Wednesday that the organization expects to be very active this offseason, with the matter of what to do with impending free-agent All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso at the top of the list. Restocking the starting pitching staff will also be important, as both right-hander […]

Nestor Cortes Expects To Be On World Series Roster

New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes (elbow) expects to be on the roster for the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, even though he knows there's long-term injury risk if he comes back a month after being diagnosed with a flexor strain in his left elbow. "We have weighed in the consequences this can […]
