Congratulations for making it through the byepocalypse. Hopefully, you survived and are ready for another amazing week of football.

Snap Count and Usage Analysis for Week 8

Snap counts are not the be-all-end-all for fantasy production but they paint a clear picture with the necessary context. Every snap is an opportunity for a player to make his presence felt and if their snaps go up or down, you get an idea of what the team thinks of their skill set. A running […]

Willson Contreras Could Be Shopped

The Chicago Cubs will likely try to work out a contract extension with catcher Willson Contreras, who can become a free agent a year from now. However, if a deal can't be reached, president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer "will almost certainly shop" the 29-year-old backstop. Contreras was worth 2.1 Wins Above Replacement in 2021, […]

Richard Sherman, Lavonte David Return To Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman (hamstring) and linebacker Lavonte David (ankle) both returned to limited practices on Wednesday, while outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (finger, shoulder) didn't practice. Getting Sherman back would be excellent news for a depleted secondary as they get ready to face the division-rival New Orleans Saints this Sunday, even if he's […]

Javon Kinlaw May Need Season-Ending Surgery

San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) is currently in Los Angeles being evaluated, and he could need season-ending surgery.

It's possible that the Saints traded for […]

Joe Flacco Likely To Be Inactive In Week 8

New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco, who was acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles this week, is likely to be inactive in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to head coach Robert Saleh. As a result, Josh Johnson will be active as the backup to Mike White with rookie first-rounder Zach Wilson (knee) out two […]

Tevin Coleman Out Wednesday, Tyler Kroft Limited

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday, while tight end Tyler Kroft (back) was limited. Coleman sat out of the Week 7 loss to the New England Patriots, which meant more work for Michael Carter and Ty Johnson in the blowout loss. Even if the 28-year-old Coleman returns to […]

Isaac Okoro Ruled Out For Wednesday's Game

Cleveland Cavaliers small forward Isaac Okoro (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

DeVante Parker On Track To Return In Week 8?

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring, shoulder), who has missed the last three games due to injury, was limited in practice on Wednesday.

Cade Cunningham Could Make His Debut On Saturday

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during training camp. He went on sit out the entire preseason and he has yet to play during the regular season. However, it sounds as if his debut isn't too far away. In a recent press conference, Pistons general manager Troy Weaver suggested that […]

Curtis Samuel, Dyami Brown Not Practicing

Washington Football Team wide receivers Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) remained out of practice on Wednesday. Samuel's groin injury has been bothering him since June, and he's played in only two games in his first season in D.C., catching four of his five targets for just 19 yards. If the 25-year-old doesn't make […]

Jerami Grant Questionable For Thursday

Detroit Pistons power forward Jerami Grant (elbow) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Grant was a game time decision for the team's most recent game against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday and he was ruled out just before tip-off. He is dealing with a left elbow infection. It doesn't sound […]

Ricky Seals-Jones On The Week 8 Injury Report

Washington Football Team tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (quadriceps) is on the Week 8 injury report and managed a limited practice showing on Wednesday.
