New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis (hip) is listed as doubtful for Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals, while running back Tevin Coleman (hamstring) will officially miss his second straight game. Also, tight end Tyler Kroft (back) is questionable. Fantasy managers need to remove Davis from their lineups this weekend. With the team's No. […]

Eric Ebron Out Against The Browns

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns after suffering a hamstring injury in practice on Thursday. Ebron hasn't moved the fantasy needle at all this year behind rookie Pat Freiermuth, catching just seven of his 13 targets for 47 yards in six games (two […]

T.J. Hockenson Avoids Final Injury Report

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (ankle, knee) managed to practice in full on Friday and was removed from the team's final injury report for Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Hockenson has been questionable more times than not this season, but he hasn't missed any games and continues to play a full allotment of […]

D'Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams Questionable Again

Detroit Lions running backs D'Andre Swift (groin) and Jamaal Williams (thigh) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Swift has been questionable basically every week but continues to play and see the lion's share (pun intended) of the offensive workload on a weekly basis. He enters the week as the […]

Von Miller Questionable For Week 8

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller (ankle) missed practice all week and is questionable for the Week 8 contest against the Washington Football Team. The fact that Miller didn't practice at all this week is not a good sign that he'll be active after he suffered an ugly looking ankle injury in last Thursday's loss […]

Teddy Bridgewater - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (oblique) practiced in full on both Thursday and Friday and was removed from the final injury report for Week 8 against the Washington Football Team. Bridgewater will be good to go and gets a Washington defense that has allowed the most fantasy points per game to the QB position in […]

Marlon Mack (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Mack makes for an interesting stash off the waiver wire, if you have the room to afford it during these injured-riddled, bye-heavy weeks. He's still working well behind both Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines in the Colts' offense, topping out at a […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. (RB, SF) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Wilson is still recovering from having surgery for the torn meniscus he suffered back in May. Coach Kyle Shanahan recently noted that he expects Wilson to return this season, saying "It's not in the next couple weeks, but kind of beyond that. He's […]

Kenneth Gainwell (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Following the Week 7 injury to Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (ankle), Kenneth Gainwell is set up to be one of the top waiver wire priorities for Week 8. Sanders was carted off the field this past week after suffering an ankle […]

Khalil Herbert (RB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 59% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Herbert is currently rostered in under 60% of all leagues, just two weeks after he was only contained on 19% of all rosters. However, another surge in rostership is imminent, after Herbert flourished in a workhorse role for Chicago. He accumulated 18 […]

Boston Scott (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Boston Scott will be part of a one-two punch with Kenneth Gainwell as long as Miles Sanders is out. He played 34 percent of the snaps in Week 7 against the Raiders, tallying seven carries and two targets. He went for 29 total yards and scored a […]

C.J. Uzomah (TE, CIN) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Back in Week 4, everything pointed toward C.J. Uzomah's 26.5 PPR-point game as an outlier by nature. Three games after that and entering the mid-point of the season next weekend, though, are we sure this man can't turn into the WW steal […]

DeSean Jackson Won't Play This Week As He Seeks A Trade

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed that wide receiver DeSean Jackson has received permission to seek a trade, and he will not be active in Week 8 against the Houston Texans as a result. The 34-year-old and the Rams have mutually agreed that a trade is in the best interest of both parties, […]

Jerry Jeudy Misses Practice, Still Not Activated From IR

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) was given a day of rest on Friday and has yet to be activated from Injured Reserve. Jeudy practiced on for three straight days earlier this week and was a little sore. The Broncos plan all along was to activate the former first-rounder in order to make his […]

Deebo Samuel, Trey Lance Cleared To Play Against Bears

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (calf) and rookie quarterback Trey Lance (knee) have been cleared for Week 8 against the Chicago Bears and weren't on the final injury report on Friday. Left tackle Trent Williams (ankle, elbow) is questionable after missing last week's game. Samuel was never really in danger for this weekend, […]

Saquon Barkley, Kenny Golladay Miss Practice Friday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) missed a second straight day of practice on Friday, which isn't a good sign for their availability on Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. Barkley and Golladay still have Saturday, but as of right now, their fantasy managers shouldn't feel […]

Buccaneers Defense Could Have Upside In Week 8

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense could be an upside play against Jameis Winston and the Saints in Week 8. Winston has taken care of the football this year- but he could have to air out the ball more often if the Saints fall behind, opening up chances for more turnovers. The Buccaneers defense ranks sixth […]

Chargers Hopeful Austin Ekeler Can Play Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hip) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the New England Patriots. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that head coach Brandon Staley and the Chargers are "hopeful that he can play" on Sunday. "He just came up a little bit sore after the practice. It didn't happen […]

Chris Godwin - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin should be in line to see heavy volume against the Saints in Week 8. Godwin has seen double-digit targets in two of his last three games, including last week against the Bears, where he delivered an 8-111-1 line in the blowout win. Antonio Brown (ankle) will miss another […]

Mike Evans - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans will face off with an old rival in Marshon Lattimore when his team takes on the Saints in Week 8. Evans and Lattimore are no stranger to each other, as the star corner has routinely shadowed the star wideout when the two teams meet each year, with Evans […]

Ronald Jones II - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II will face a tough Saints' defense in Week 8. Jones recorded season-highs in both carries and rushing yards in a lopsided win over the Bears last week. However, the 35-point lead built up by Tampa Bay ensured that they could run out the clock, resulting in more […]

Bold Predictions for Week 8

Bold predictions are always meant to be taken with a grain of salt, but ideally, they are not a bunch of takes thrown like you-know-what at a wall with the hope of sticking. These predictions come with backing to make them somewhat substantiated with the obvious caveat that it's playing into a range of outcomes […]

Jani Hakanpaa Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Dallas Stars defenseman Jani Hakanpaa will be unavailable for Friday's home game against Ottawa because he has been put into the NHL's COVID-19 protocol. Joel Hanley will come into the lineup to skate on the third pairing with Andrej Sekera. The veteran blueliner will make his fifth appearance of the season. Hakanpaa had just picked […]

Leonard Fournette - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette will face a tough test in Week 8 against a stout Saints run defense. Fournette has been a weekly RB2 lately, as he's averaged 21 touches per game while exceeding 100 scrimmage yards in three of those contests. The star halfback is undoubtedly the team's best runner, but […]

Rickard Rakell Could Miss Friday's Action

Anaheim Ducks winger Rickard Rakell (upper body) is questionable for Friday's matchup versus Vegas. The 28-year-old exited Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Buffalo in the third period. Rakell boasts a team-high four goals through the first eight games of the season. Two of the goals have come on the power play, and he's fired off […]

Tom Brady - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will take on the division-rival Saints in Week 8. Brady has been spectacular this year, as he has completed 67 percent of his passes while throwing for 2,275 yards with a league-high 21 touchdown passes against just three interceptions. The Saints' defense has been one of the best units […]

William Carrier Is A Game-Time Decision On Friday

Vegas Golden Knights winger William Carrier (lower body) is a game-time decision for Friday's contest against the Ducks. He got hurt blocking a shot and logged only 6:41 in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime victory against Dallas. The Golden Knights are already down a number of forwards and it's bumped Carrier up in the lineup. Evgenii Dadonov […]

Antti Raanta Makes Hurricanes Debut Against Former Team

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Antti Raanta will make his team debut in a special matchup on Friday against his former team, the Chicago Blackhawks. The Finnish netminder started his NHL career with the Blackhawks, skating in 39 games over two seasons. He has found his way to Carolina via New York and Arizona. Raanta boasts strong […]

Saints Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 8

The New Orleans Saints defense will have a tall task in Week 8 against the Buccaneers. The Saints will attempt to slow down an offense that ranks third in points and second in total yards per game while sporting the eighth-fewest giveaways in the league. The Saints' best hope is to pressure Tom Brady similarly […]

Daniel Sprong Takes Over For T.J. Oshie On Second Line

Washington Capitals winger Daniel Sprong will re-enter the lineup on Friday against Arizona, taking over from T.J. Oshie (lower body) on the second line. The 24-year-old was a healthy scratch for Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Detroit, but Oshie got hurt in the game blocking a shot and his absence gives Sprong a chance to […]
