Christian Watson Listed As Questionable
Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the Sunday night matchup against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. Watson has missed the last two games after injuring his hamstring in Week 5 in London. "Feeling really good, feeling really confident," said Watson on Thursday. "Obviously, I just have […]

Zion Williamson Likely Out Versus Suns
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (hip, back) isn't expected to play against the Suns, the first of the team's three-game road trip. The 22-year-old took a hard fall late in Sunday's matchup against the Jazz, resulting in an injury to his right hip and lower back. Fortunately, there's a good chance he'll return on […]

Allen Lazard Officially Ruled Out
The Green Bay Packers officially ruled out wide receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder) for the Week 8 contest against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football. Lazard was unable to practice at all this week after injuring his shoulder in the Week 7 loss to the Washington Commanders, and it remains to be seen if he'll […]

Artem Zub Out For 1-2 Weeks
Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub has been ruled out for 1-2 weeks with an upper-body injury. He was hurt after Thursday's loss to Minnesota and now looks set to miss three games at minimum. The Russian rearguard plays a massive part on the Senators blue line, averaging close to 22 minutes of ice time per […]

Deebo Samuel Ruled Out For Week 8
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and fullback Kyle Juszczyk (finger) have been ruled out for the Week 8 game against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. Wide receiver Jauan Jennings (hamstring) is also questionable, so San Fran's receiving corps could be very thin against a tough opponent on Sunday. Samuel didn't practice all […]

Brandon Ingram Out For Next Three Games
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (head) won't be available for the team's three-game road trip, beginning on Friday against the Suns. The 25-year-old remains in concussion protocols after exiting Sunday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. The Pelicans are dealing with a slew of injuries heading into the meeting with Phoenix, with Herbert Jones (knee), […]

Carolina Sends Ethan Bear To Vancouver
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Ethan Bear was traded to the Vancouver Canucks on Friday along with depth forward Lane Pederson. The Hurricanes received a 2023 fifth-round draft pick and Carolina is retaining 18 percent of Bear's $2.2 million salary as part of the deal. Bear has been a healthy scratch for every game this season and […]

Michael Rasmussen Suspended For Two Games
Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen has received a two-game suspension from the NHL. He is getting punished for high-sticking Boston's David Krejci in Thursday's 5-1 loss. Krejci was forced to leave the game after Rasmussen hit him in the head with his stick. The Red Wings are losing a player who has been very […]

Jake Bean Sits On Friday
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jake Bean (illness) will sit out Friday's battle with the Bruins. He has missed a pair of practices with an illness and hasn't managed to recover in time for the game. Bean had just enjoyed a bit of an offensive explosion with three points in two games. He boasts one goal […]

MacKenzie Blackwood Ready If Needed
New Jersey Devils goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood (upper body) is available for Friday's clash with Colorado. His status was initially uncertain after Blackwood missed Thursday's practice. This is great news for the Devils, although Vitek Vanecek is still expected to get the start against the defending Stanley Cup champions. Both goalies have struggled at the start […]

Framber Valdez To Start Game 2 Of World Series
Houston Astros left-hander Framber Valdez will start Game 2 of the World Series in Houston on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies. The one-two punch of Justin Verlander and Valdez has been dominant all year. Valdez finished the regular season 17-6 with a 2.82 ERA (3.06 FIP), a 1.16 WHIP, a career-high 194 strikeouts and 67 […]

Valeri Nichushkin Won't Play Friday
Colorado Avalanche winger Valeri Nichushkin (lower body) will sit out Friday's game against New Jersey, and he is considered day-to-day by the team. This is unfortunate news all around, as Nichushkin has started the season in great form and sits among the league's top goal-scorers with seven markers in as many games. He has also […]

Cardinals Defense Not A Good Option In Week 8
The Arizona Cardinals D/ST is a risky starting option in Week 8 as they take on the Vikings on the road. This is a defensive unit that just gave up 361 yards and four touchdowns to Andy Dalton, but they were bailed out by two defensive touchdowns late in the second half. They have given […]

Zach Ertz A Must-Start TE1 In Week 8
Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz is a must-start TE1 option in Week 8 as the Cardinals travel to take on the Vikings. They have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season, giving Ertz even more appeal than he already has. He has a legitimate chance to serve as the No. 2 […]

Rondale Moore Looks To Bounce Back In Week 8
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore will look to bounce back in Week 8 after catching just one pass for 31 yards on two targets in Week 7. Moore should get back into his slot role with Robbie Anderson taking over Marquise Brown's role on the outside, so fantasy managers can expect him to be […]

DeAndre Hopkins A WR1 Option In Week 8
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will look to build off a strong season debut, as he caught 10 passes for 103 yards in Week 7. Hopkins will be the primary option in the passing game as Marquise Brown continues to be sidelined, as he was targeted 14 times by Kyler Murray last week. The […]

Eno Benjamin A Solid RB2 Against Vikings
Arizona Cardinals running back Eno Benjamin will once again be a solid RB2 option as James Conner (ribs) will miss his third consecutive game. Benjamin totaled 115 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the Saints, so he has shown he can produce in a starting role out of the backfield. The former […]

Kyler Murray A Mid-Range QB1 in Week 8
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will look to lead his team to their second-straight win in Week 8 as they travel to Minnesota. Murray has failed to throw at least two touchdowns since Week 4 but has taken advantage of his dual-threat ability in the past three games as he has racked up 172 rushing […]

Tommy Tremble Will Look To Capitalize In Solid Matchup
Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble has seemingly surpassed Ian Thomas on the team's depth chart and will hope to become more involved in a Week 8 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Tremble hauled in his only target for a 29-yard score last week and could produce again on Sunday as Atlanta has allowed the […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. Not On The Fantasy Radar
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. played on 86 percent of offensive snaps last week in the team's first contest without Christian McCaffrey and Robbie Anderson. He has a strong case to be Carolina's WR2 moving forward and will have a great opportunity to prove himself against a struggling Atlanta Falcons secondary in Week […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Will Suit Up In Week 8
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. will not carry an injury designation into the weekend after being limited in practice this week with a hamstring injury. Shenault returned to the lineup in Week 7 after missing three consecutive games but played on just two offensive snaps. He could have an expanded role going forward […]

Kalif Raymond A Deep-League Flex Option
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond has fantasy appeal, even with Amon-Ra St. Brown (concussion) expected to play against the Dolphins. DJ Chark (ankle) has been placed on Injured Reserve, so Raymond will serve as the Lions' WR3 behind Josh Reynolds for the time being. Miami allows a ton of fantasy points to wideouts and […]

D'Andre Swift Off The Injury Report
Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) has been taken off the injury report on Friday and is expected to play in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins. Swift will make his return to the field for the first time since Week 3 after practicing in full this week. However, given the long layoff, […]

DJ Moore Set Up For Success In Week 8
Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore finally came through for fantasy purposes, finishing as the WR9 in PPR scoring last week. He will look to build on his chemistry with quarterback PJ Walker in an excellent Week 8 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons have allowed the most PPR fantasy points to wide receivers […]

Jamaal Williams Back To A Flex Play In Week 8
Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams will be rejoined by D'Andre Swift in the backfield, so his ceiling is capped, and he might return to being just a touchdown-or-bust flex play. That said, Detroit's offense should get back on track in a favorable matchup, so Williams has touchdown upside. There's also a chance Swift's touches […]

Greg Joseph A Solid Starting Option In Week 8
Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph has the look of a solid starting option in the kicker slot in Week 8, as he should have some chances to put points up against a weak Cardinals defense. Joseph has connected on nine of his 13 field goal attempts this season, with his longest connection going for 56 […]

T.J. Hockenson Remains A Must-Start
Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson is a strong TE1 candidate in a matchup with the seventh-worst defense against fantasy tight ends. Miami has given up a ton of receiving yards and touchdowns to wideouts and tight ends, so all notable Lions' pass-catchers are in a good spot this week. Hockenson's floor and ceiling are […]

D'Onta Foreman In Play For Week 8
Carolina Panthers running back D'Onta Foreman is in line to start and see the bulk of touches out of the backfield against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8. In the team's first game without Christian McCaffrey, Foreman was given 17 total opportunities and totaled 145 yards. The Panthers will also be missing Chuba Hubbard (ankle) […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Listed As Questionable
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (head) is listed as questionable for the Week 8 game against the Miami Dolphins. St. Brown remains in the concussion protocol after getting wobbly in the Week 7 loss to the Detroit Lions, but he's expected to be cleared to play this Sunday against Miami. If active, the […]

Vikings Defense A Risky Streaming Option In Week 8
The Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams is a risky streaming option in Week 8 against the Cardinals, as they have allowed the 10th-most passing yards this season despite already having their bye week. The Cardinals offense hasn't exactly been a terrifying matchup this season, but quarterback Kyler Murray and receiver DeAndre Hopkins looked to be on […]
