Jimmy Graham Fired Up To Face Former Team

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will be fired up to face his former team, the Saints, in Week 8. Graham isn't racking up tons of targets on a weekly basis but is still a legitimate red zone threat for a struggling Bears offense. The Saints have allowed the second most fantasy points to opposing […]

Marlins Exercise Starling Marte's Option

The Miami Marlins exercised the club option for outfielder Starling Marte on Wednesday, and he'll make $12.5 million next year. The Marlins would've been on the hook for $1 million if they had decided not to pick up Marte's option. Miami acquired the center fielder from Arizona on Aug. 31 for pitchers Caleb Smith and […]

David Montgomery To Carry RB3 Value

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will try and get his season kick-started in Week 8 against the Saints. It has been a disappointing season to this point for Montgomery, who has 537 all-purpose yards and posting only 3.7 yards per carry. The Bears running game has gone off the rails since quarterback Nick Foles […]

Allen Lazard Returning To Practice This Week

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Allen Lazard (core) will return to practice this week. Lazard blew up for his fantasy managers in Week 3 against the Saints with six catches, 146 yards and a touchdown, but then he needed core muscle surgery. The 24-year-old has been out ever since, […]

Can Nick Foles Get Offense On Track?

Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles will try and shake the team's offense out of a huge slump in Week 8 against the Saints. Foles has three touchdowns and four interceptions over his last three games, a span in which the Bears offense is averaging only 15 points a game. Things are not trending in the […]

Sammy Watkins Won't Practice Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday. Watkins has missed the last two games after getting injured in the Week 5 loss to the Raiders, and he looks likely to miss his third straight game this weekend against the winless Jets. Wideout Tyreek […]

Adrian Peterson Losing Grip On Starting Job

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson will face a Colts Defense in Week 8 that is allowing the fifth fewest fantasy points to the running back position this season. Peterson continues to sit atop the depth chart for the Lions but is losing touches to rookie D'Andre Swift by the week. Peterson has totaled only […]

D'Andre Swift In Line For More Touches

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift is slowly gaining more traction in the Lions backfield heading into the team's Week 8 matchup against the Colts. Swift has four touchdowns over his last three games and has 11 receptions and 27 carries during that span. He is not the official bell-cow in the offense with veteran […]

Quinnen Williams Trade Rumors Are False

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said trade rumors swirling around defensive tackle Quinnen Williams are false. "He's going to be here," Gase said. General manager Joe Douglas has traded away two of the team's previous top-10 picks in the last year, but it appears that Williams won't be on the move. The first-round […]

T.J. Hockenson Has Stiff Test Against Colts

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson will try and extend his touchdown streak to four games in Week 8 against the Colts. Hockenson has amassed only 85 receiving yards over his last three games but has touchdowns in each contest to boost his fantasy value. The second-year tight end will have a tough matchup against […]

Drew Brees Likes Facing The Bears

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is 4-0 in his last four meetings with the Chicago Bears, who he will face once again in Week 8. Brees is averaging 308 passing yards per game while completing 78.7 percent of his passes for an 8-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio and a passer rating of 124 in his last […]

Kenny Golladay Has Challenging Matchup

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay will try and keep his hot streak alive against a tough Colts Defense in Week 8. Golladay will take back-to-back 100-yard games into this contest but the Colts defense is loaded with talent. Since Week 1, Indy's secondary has given up yards in the passing game but have allowed […]

Matthew Stafford Has Tough Test Against Colts

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will try and get his team over .500 in Week 8 against a talented Colts Defense. Stafford passed for 340 yard last week but has only two touchdown passes over his past two games. Now he will take on a rested Colts defense that is allowing the second fewest fantasy […]

Cowboys Defense Not A Good Option In Week 8

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is not a good option for fantasy lineups in Week 8. With their entire offense in shambles, the Cowboys defense may end up being on the field for most of the game on Sunday night. Last week, they allowed 397 total yards to a Washington Football Team that came into that […]

Greg Zuerlein Not A Starting Option In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 8. Despite going up against an Eagles team that doesn't particularly limit opposing kickers, Zuerlein will certainly be limited by his own team's offense. Andy Dalton (concussion) already wasn't doing much, and now seventh-round rookie Ben DiNucci may be the one in […]

Dalton Schultz Sees His Stock Keep Dropping

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz is no longer in the TE1 rankings for Week 8. Despite a matchup with an Eagles team that allows tons of points to opposing tight ends, Schultz cannot be trusted with seventh-round rookie Ben DiNucci likely in charge of the Cowboys offense. Schultz and all of the Cowboys pass […]

Michael Gallup Tough To Trust In Week 8 Lineups

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup is not a strong starting option in most leagues for a Week 8 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Gallup was held without a catch in Week 7, coming up empty on just two targets. While Gallup made for a sometimes exciting boom-or-bust play with Dak Prescott (ankle) calling the […]

CeeDee Lamb Looks To Put Last Week Behind Him

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will look to put last week's near-zero performance behind him in Week 8 against a struggling Eagles secondary. Last week, Lamb could not come up with any of his five targets and rushed for one yard, putting up a score of 0.1 fantasy points in standard formats. Lamb […]

Amari Cooper Takes A Dip In Rankings For Week 8

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper has tumbled out of the WR1 rankings for a Week 8 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Through no fault of his own, Cooper is unlikely to do much in a game that looks like it will have seventh-round rookie Ben DiNucci starting under center in place of Andy Dalton […]

Tony Pollard Not A Strong Option Despite Increasing Role

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard doesn't make for a strong fantasy option in Week 8 despite an increasing role in the previous week. With starter Ezekiel Elliott failing to distance himself from Pollard and losing two fumbles last week, Pollard has been seeing more and more touches, with a season-high 12 in Week 6 […]

Yankees Unlikely To Reunite With Didi Gregorius

Philadelphia Phillies impending free-agent shortstop Didi Gregorius said that he doesn't foresee the Yankees wanting to sign him this offseason. Current Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres battling injuries and defensive issues in 2020, hitting only .243 with three home runs and nine errors in 42 games. Gregorius hit .284 with 10 home runs and 40 RBI […]

Ezekiel Elliott Might See A Heavy Workload Against Eagles

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott might be the only reliable fantasy option in the entire Cowboys lineup in Week 8. With seventh-round rookie Ben DiNucci looking like the likely starter in place of Andy Dalton (concussion), the Cowboys offense could be even more of a mess than they have been since Dak Prescott (ankle) […]

Ben DiNucci Looking Likely To Start In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci is looking more and more likely to get the start in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Starter Andy Dalton (concussion) still hasn't been cleared to play and was not even able to practice on Wednesday. DiNucci played in Week 7 after he replaced Dalton, going 2-for-3 for 39 […]

George Springer Doesn't Want To Return To Astros

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer, who is set to become a free agent, doesn't want to return to the team. It would be a big loss for an Astros team that will already be without starting pitcher Justin Verlander (elbow) in 2021 as he recovers from Tommy John surgery. Fellow outfielders Michael Brantley and Josh […]

Eagles Defense Set For An Excellent Week 8

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is set for an excellent Week 8 performance against the Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton (concussion) has yet to be cleared to play, meaning rookie Ben DiNucci could end up getting the start on Sunday night. As much as Dalton has struggled to move the ball in the Cowboys offense, […]

Jake Elliott Not A Great Option For Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott won't make for a great fantasy option in Week 8 lineups despite what is predicted to be a high-scoring game against the Dallas Cowboys. Elliott has been a solid kicker in previous years, but this season he's only made eight of his 12 field goal attempts and 11 extra points. […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Returning To Practice

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that rookie wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (calf) is returning to practice on Wednesday. Indianapolis will now have 21 days to activate Pittman from Injured Reserve. The USC product could return to face the Lions this weekend, but he'd likely play limited snaps if that was the case. […]

Richard Rodgers Likely Has One More Week As The Top Tight End

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers likely has one more week as the team's top tight end, and it comes against a porous Dallas Cowboys Defense. Dallas Goedert (ankle) has returned to practice and is expected back from Injured Reserve after the team's Week 9 bye, so this should be the final week for Rodgers […]

Myles Garrett Not Practicing Wednesday

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett (ankle) is sitting out of practice on Wednesday. Garrett is a must-start IDP defensive lineman each and every week, so this is an injury to keep an eye on throughout the rest of the week. Garrett has a league-high nine sacks and four forced fumbles through seven weeks, including […]

Jalen Reagor Could Be Back In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor (thumb) could be back on the field for a Week 8 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Reagor hasn't played since Week 2 but has returned to practice and looks like he'll play on Sunday night barring any setbacks. With the Eagles still desperate for pass catchers, it's possible […]
