Rhamondre Stevenson Active, J.J. Taylor Inactive

The New England Patriots continue to play musical chairs with the team's running backs, as Rhamondre Stevenson is active for Week 8 while J.J. Taylor is a healthy scratch despite scoring a pair of touchdowns last week. It appears that New England is just going to continue to decide on game day who out of […]

Chris Boswell Questionable To Return

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell is being evaluated for a concussion after taking a hit on a fake field goal. If Boswell is unable to return, punter Pressley Harvin will take over kicking duties, but expect the Steelers to look to free agency for a Boswell replacement if he is concussed and has to miss […]

Jalen Reagor Out, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Questionable

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions, while wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (ankle) is questionable to return. The Eagles won't have a lot of weapons at receiver, so expect to see a little more of Quez Watkins and Greg Ward, but also don't be shocked to […]

Broncos Defense Won't Have Von Miller In Week 8

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller (ankle) won't play against the Washington Football Team on Sunday. Miller suffered the ankle injury last week and wanted to play in Week 8, but the team's medical staff decided to keep Miller off the field to be safe. Miller has 4.5 sacks and nine quarterback hits this season. His […]

Damien Williams Questionable To Return Against 49ers

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.

If he's unable […]

Jack Conklin Carted Off The Field Sunday

Cleveland Browns right tackle Jack Conklin was carted off the field on Sunday against the Steelers with an apparent arm/wrist injury. Blake Hance has come into the game at right tackle to relieve Conklin, who missed the previous two games with a knee injury. Against this Steelers front, not having a player as good as […]

Jalen Reagor Questionable To Return In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. Reagor has a zero-yard reception, as well as two carries for 21 yards in the game, but was carted to the locker room. The second-year wideout is a key piece of a shallow receiving corps — if […]

Trey Lance Could Be Starting Soon

The San Francisco 49ers have lost four games in a row heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Chicago Bears, and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo struggled badly in a Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. With rookie first-rounder Trey Lance (knee) returning from a sprained knee this week, he could be on the field […]

Jalen Ramsey Active Against Texans

Los Angeles Rams defensive back Jalen Ramsey (illness) is not listed on the team's inactive list ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the struggling Texans. His omission from the most recent report means he will be good to go against Houston on Sunday. Although most fantasy managers don't need much convincing that Davis Mills […]

D'Andre Swift Officially Active On Sunday

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is good to go for Sunday's showdown against the Eagles. The 22-year-old has been riding the injury report since he injured his groin during the preseason. However, he has continued to play despite the consistent questionable designation. Nonetheless, with Jamaal Williams (illness, thigh) out for Week 8, Swift […]

Pharaoh Brown Inactive In Week 8

Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown (thigh) is inactive for Week 8 against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Brown was added to the Week 8 injury report on Thursday and missed Friday's practice.

Trent Williams Officially Active For Week 8

San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams (ankle, elbow) is officially active for Sunday's bout against the Bears.

With the Chicago defense making […]

Corey Davis Officially Inactive For Jets

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis (hip) is officially inactive for the Week 8 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Auden Tate (thigh) has been ruled out for the Week 8 game against the New York Jets on Sunday. In addition, rookie running back Chris Evans (hamstring) will miss the Halloween game this weekend. Tate has found the end zone once this season, but otherwise he has only three receptions for […]

Jamaal Williams To Miss Sunday's Matchup Against Philly

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (thigh, illness) won't play on Sunday against the Eagles. Williams had been riding a questionable tag but still practiced, albeit limited, throughout the week. This is a tough pill to swallow for managers, especially those in deeper formats benefiting from his above-average production. Nonetheless, it appears as if D'Andre […]

T.Y. Hilton Returning In Week 8

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) is active for the Week 8 game against the Tennessee Titans. Hilton made his season debut in Week 6 by catching all four of his targets for 80 yards, but he sat out again last week. The 31-year-old has had a tough time staying healthy later in his […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Will Play Against Steelers

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (shoulder) is active for Week 8 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. However, the Browns will be without wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones (groin) and cornerback Denzel Ward (hamstring). Beckham battled through his shoulder issues in the Thursday night win over the Denver Broncos in Week 7, but he wasn't […]

Calvin Ridley Inactive For Week 8

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (personal) won't play on Sunday against Carolina. Although Ridley hasn't played the best, he has seen double-digit targets in all but one game this season, so this is still a tough blow for the fantasy managers who continue to eagerly anticipate a breakout performance. Nonetheless, the red-hot Kyle Pitts […]

DeVante Parker Officially Active Against Bills

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring, shoulder) is officially active, as expected, in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. Parker will be returning after a three-game absence to face a tough Bills defense on the road, and there's a chance that he might have his snaps limited after the extended layoff. While Parker should […]

Michael Gallup Could Return In Week 9

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (calf) won't play during Sunday Night Football against the Vikings. However, there remains a chance that he could make it back for the Week 9 matchup against the visiting Broncos.

Gabriel Landeskog's Four-Point Game Leads Avalanche To Win

Colorado Avalanche winger Gabriel Landeskog scored two goals and added a pair of assists in Saturday's 4-1 victory against the Wild.

Landeskog is up […]

Tyron Smith Expected To Play Against Minnesota

Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) is expected to play during Sunday Night Football against Minnesota.

With Dak Prescott (calf), who is a game-time call, looking to avoid as many […]

Broncos Likely To Play It Safe With Von Miller

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller (ankle), who is listed as questionable with an ankle injury, didn't practice all week. Miller wants to play and may give it a go during pre-game workouts, but the team will likely be smart and force him to think long term. That means he'll likely be held out of […]

Optimism Surrounding Rob Gronkowski's Status

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) is considered a game-time decision on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints after missing the last four games. However, one source described optimism about his playing status, which would be a big lift for the Buccaneers and fantasy managers in Week 8. Gronk last played in a […]

Rasmus Andersson Delivers Two Assists Saturday Night

Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson collected two assists in Saturday's 4-0 win over Philadelphia, adding two blocks and one shot to his tally in 21:11 on the ice. He helped Sean Monahan to notch a power-play goal and also had a helper on Mikael Backlund's second marker of the season. Andersson skates on the first […]

Trent Williams Expected To Suit Up In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers tackle Trent Williams (ankle, elbow) is on track to suit up against Chicago on Sunday. The 33-year-old didn't play during the loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7, but it appears he should be good to go for Week 8. With the Bears defense pulverizing opposing signal-callers this season, it will […]

Sean Monahan Enjoys A Two-Point Night

Calgary Flames center Sean Monahan produced a two-point performance in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Flyers, scoring a power-play goal and picking up an assist with the man advantage.
