Keelan Cole Quiet In Win

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole hasn't been able to make much noise for this offense this season. In Week 8, Cole hauled in three of his five targets for 25 yards in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals. It was assumed Cole would have a bigger role with Corey Davis (hip) sidelined. Instead, […]

Dak Prescott Will Be Inactive, Cooper Rush To Start

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) will be inactive on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8, according to a source. Backup Cooper Rush will get the start with Will Grier serving as his backup against Minnesota. Prescott's pre-game workouts did nothing to change the Cowboys mind after he suffered a strained calf […]

Cole Kmet Targeted Six Times In Loss

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet caught three passes for 24 yards in the Bears 33-22 loss to the 49ers in Week 8. Kmet was targeted six times, one of them coming in the red zone. Kmet is not a fantasy TE1 by any means but the Bears offense has made more of a concerted […]

Tyler Kroft Catches Game-Winning Touchdown

New York Jets tight end Tyler Kroft has been a forgotten man in this offense throughout most of the season. However, he was able to make an impact during the Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Kroft hauled in both of his targets 20 targets and the game-winning touchdown. Sadly, he was only targeted […]

Darnell Mooney Leads Bears With 64 Receiving Yards

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney caught a team-high six passes for 64 yards in the Bears loss to the 49ers in Week 8.

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore put together the best performance of his young NFL career during the Week 8 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Allen Robinson II Disappears Again

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II was held to only three receptions for 21 yards in the team's 33-22 loss to the 49ers in Week 8. This has become a common theme for the veteran receiver, who came into the season averaging 100 catches for 1198.5 yards over his last two seasons. The season […]

Justin Jackson Questionable To Return In Week 8

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (quadriceps) is questionable to return in the Week 8 game against the New England Patriots. Jackson had three carries for 79 yards, including a 75-yard carry in the first half, before leaving this game due to injury. Joshua Kelley was a healthy scratch on Sunday, so if Jackson […]

Ty Johnson Makes Impressive Touchdown Catch

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson has posted some low-end fantasy value in PPR formats over the last few weeks. The emergence of rookie running back Michael Carter has limited Johnson's impact in the offense. In Week 8, Johnson rushed four times for 15 yards in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals. However, he […]

Khalil Herbert Registers 72 Rushing Yards

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert carried the ball 23 times for 72 yards in the Bears 33-22 loss to the 49ers in Week 8. Herbert looked explosive early but left the game for several series with an injury. He was able to come back in the game but struggled to be productive. The rookie […]

Justin Fields Flashes Potential In Loss

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields completed 19-of-27 passes for 175 yards, two total touchdowns, one interception and 103 rushing yards in the Bears 33-22 loss to the 49ers in Week 8.

Rob Gronkowski Ruled Out With Back Spasms Against Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) has been ruled out for the remainder of the Week 8 contest against the New Orleans Saints due to back spasms.

Jameis Winston Ruled Out After Suffering Knee Injury

Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) was ruled out for the rest of the Week 8 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

The NBA is back, y'all! Hopefully the first two weeks of fantasy basketball treated you well. If it didn't — well, we're here for you. These recommendations are for 9-cat leagues, but if you play in another format, there's a good chance that the information here can still help you. We'll be looking at centers, […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Totals 46 Yards Against Eagles

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught three passes for 46 yards in the team's 44-6 loss to the Eagles in Week 8. The rookie has shown an ability to make a few plays each game but is not being featured in an abysmal Lions offense. St. Brown is not fantasy viable in most […]

Kalif Raymond Held Without A Catch In Week 8

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond failed to record a catch in the Lions blowout loss to the Eagles in Week 8. Raymond was targeted only one time one week removed from posting six catches for 115 yards against the Rams. Raymond has posted some tantalizing fantasy lines in a couple of games this season […]

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson caught 10 passes for 89 yards in the Lions 44-6 loss to the Eagles in Week 8.

D'Andre Swift's Touchdown Streak Snapped

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift carried the ball 12 times for 27 yards and was held to only 24 receiving yards in the Lions 44-6 loss to the Eagles in Week 8. Swift had scored touchdowns in each of his last four games but the Lions offense was inept throughout. The talented running back […]

Jared Goff's Season Keeps Getting Worse

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 25-of-34 passes for 222 yards in the Lions blowout loss to the Eagles 44-6 in Week 8. The Lions offense simply cannot stretch the field and a missed field goal early dampened the unit's spirits early. To be fair, the Lions trot out the worst wide receivers group in […]

Jameis Winston Carted To The Locker Room

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) left the game and was soon carted to the locker room after his leg buckled while being tackled. Although Winston has been disappointing this season, he's still a much more intriguing option than backup Trevor Siemian. If the former Buccaneer misses time, all of his weapons receive a […]

Ja'Marr Chase Disappoints Despite Touchdown

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught only 3-of-9 targets for 32 yards and a touchdown against the New York Jets in a stunning Week 8 loss. Chase has been one of the biggest surprises of the season and remains a top five wide receiver in spite of his underwhelming performance. Perhaps this can […]

Eagles Defense Stars In Week 8 Win

The Philadelphia Eagles defense was outstanding in an easy Week 8 win over the hapless Detroit Lions. In a blowout 44-6 win, the Eagles scored a defensive touchdown, recorded six sacks, and recovered a touchdown. In standard scoring, they put up 20 fantasy points. Through the first seven weeks, they'd put up a total of […]

Jordan Akins Totals Season-High 53 Yards

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins caught all five targets for a season-high 53 receiving yards in a blowout loss to the Rams. Akins was one of the bright spots in another bad loss for the Texans, as the offense couldn't muster any points until garbage time in the fourth quarter. It could have been […]

Jake Elliott Has A Huge Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott had an enormous game in an easy Week 8 win over the hapless Detroit Lions. He made all five of his extra point tries and all three of his field goals. His field goal kicks came from 43, 26, and 41 yards out. A low volume, inconsistent kicker all season […]

Joe Mixon Scores Again, Totals 91 Yards

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon had 18 touches for 91 yards from scrimmage with a touchdown against the New York Jets. Although the Bengals lost, they remain among the most electric offenses in the league, and Mixon remains one of the only workhorse running backs. Regardless of the Bengals' game script, Mixon will be […]

DeVonta Smith Catches Only One Pass In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith made only one catch in a Week 8 blowout win over the Detroit Lions. Smith's one catch came on three targets, and he gained just 15 yards.

Quez Watkins Makes Two Catches In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins made two catches in a Week 8 blowout win over the Detroit Lions. He gained a total of 18 yards, catching both of his targets.
