Artturi Lehkonen Stretches Point Streak to Seven Games
Colorado Avalanche winger Artturi Lehkonen took his point streak to seven games on Sunday, scoring the team's first goal in a 6-2 loss to Nashville. Only Edmonton's Connor McDavid (11 games) and Evan Bouchard (8) have had a longer point streak this season. Lehkonen's prolific run includes a three-game goal streak. Ranking third in the league in goals, Lehkonen is in the form of his life. He has posted 14 points (10 goals, four assists) in 12 games. At best, Lehkonen has been a 50-point guy in the NHL, so he's unlikely to maintain his scoring rate until the end of the season. But he's a very appealing fantasy option right now.

Antonio Williams a Week 8 PPR Waiver Target With WR2 Opportunity
Washington Commanders wide receiver Antonio Williams is worth adding in 10-team and deeper PPR leagues as a bench add, not an immediate starter, against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8, with Terry McLaurin's (knee) season-ending injury creating an opportunity for a larger receiving role. McLaurin exited Washington's Week 6 loss to the San Francisco 49ers after just seven snaps, and Williams led the team's wide receivers with 45, ahead of Stefon Diggs (41) and Treylon Burks (37). However, the rookie drew only four targets despite Jayden Daniels attempting 40 passes, finishing with three receptions for 50 yards. Diggs received seven targets and Burks six, highlighting the competition for opportunities in Washington's passing attack. Williams has caught 18 passes for 205 yards and a touchdown through six games, recording three receptions in each of his last three appearances. He has a legitimate chance to emerge as Washington's No. 2 receiver, though his target volume remains limited.

Ryan O'Reilly Amasses Four Points Against Avalanche
Nashville Predators center Ryan O'Reilly was the main man in Sunday's matchup with Colorado, recording two goals and two assists in a 6-2 victory. He finished with three power-play points. Nashville ranks third in power-play efficiency, which adds fantasy appeal for its players. O'Reilly is part of a well-functioning top line in Nashville. He has six goals and six assists in 11 outings. Half of his points (6), including four goals, have come with the man advantage. While O'Reilly has averaged over a point per game this season, he could have trouble contributing offensively in Tuesday's clash against the Islanders, who are fourth in the league with an 86.1 percent penalty kill.

Jonah Coleman a Priority Week 8 Waiver Add After Leading Broncos RBs
Denver Broncos running back Jonah Coleman is a priority waiver addition in 10-team and deeper leagues ahead of a Week 8 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs after making a compelling case for more playing time in Sunday's 30-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, leading the team's backfield with 30 offensive snaps in his return from a four-game absence. Coleman rushed nine times for 54 yards and caught both of his targets for 15 yards, averaging 6.0 yards per carry. His 49% snap share exceeded those of RJ Harvey (26%) and J.K. Dobbins (23%), while his 13 pass routes also led Denver's running backs. Head coach Sean Payton praised Coleman's performance afterward, saying the rookie looked really good and needed more touches. Dobbins retained a goal-line role with a one-yard touchdown, while Harvey scored on a 52-yard reception, leaving the backfield distribution unsettled, but Payton's comments strengthen Coleman's case.

Jason Robertson Strikes Twice in Sunday's Win
Dallas Stars winger Jason Robertson extended his multi-point streak to four games with a two-goal effort in Sunday's 6-3 victory over the New York Islanders. Recently, Robertson has stood out with his playmaking, but he showed great finishing ability in this contest, grabbing two goals on three SOG. Overall, he has notched five goals and eight assists in 11 games. To set a new career high with a five-game multi-point streak, Robertson must find a way to do damage against the Devils' solid defense on Tuesday.

Mike Rizzo Interviewing For Astros General Manager Job
Former Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo is interviewing for the vacant Houston Astros general manager role, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. As general manager of the Nationals, Rizzo built up the franchise and led Washington to its first-ever World Series title in 2019, defeating the Houston Astros. Rizzo and manager Dave Martinez were fired in 2025, ending Rizzo's 19-year tenure with the franchise. Rizzo was considered for the Athletics job in a similar role this offseason, but withdrew his name from consideration to focus on the Astros position, according to Nightengale.

Quinn Hughes Reaches 500 Career Points in Return to Vancouver
Minnesota Wild defenseman Quinn Hughes showed the Vancouver Canucks what they are missing on Sunday, registering a goal and an assist in a 4-2 road win. A second-period power-play goal that proved to be the game-winner gave Hughes 500 career points. His assist came early in the third during even-strength play, helping Kirill Kaprizov continue his extraordinary start to the campaign. Hughes has been on fire since opening night, amassing 16 points (three goals, 13 assists) in 13 games. He has been held off the score sheet just twice. If Hughes maintains his current scoring rate and avoids health issues, he would post his first career 100-point season.

Omar Cooper Jr. a Must-Add Week 8 Waiver Target
New York Jets wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. is a must-add waiver target who warrants a claim in 10-team and deeper leagues and offers immediate WR3/flex appeal against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8, having produced 218 receiving yards and two touchdowns in two games since returning from an ankle injury. The rookie caught all five targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins, highlighted by explosive gains of 52 and 60 yards. Those two receptions accounted for 112 of his 115 yards, demonstrating his big-play ability while raising some questions about the sustainability of his production on limited targets. Cooper also caught six of seven targets for 103 yards and a touchdown against the New England Patriots in Week 6. Garrett Wilson, Mason Taylor, and Adonai Mitchell remain involved in New York's passing attack, but Cooper has quickly established himself as another dangerous receiving option for Geno Smith.

Cole Caufield Records Two Assists in Heritage Classic Win
Montreal Canadiens winger Cole Caufield had his first multi-assist game of the season when the team beat the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 in the Heritage Classic on Sunday. Montreal's rising star showed world-class playmaking in the second frame, matching an NHL outdoor-game record with a two-assist period. After a disappointing start to the season, Caufield has recently built momentum. He has picked up multiple points in three of his last four appearances. 11 games into the season, Caufield leads the Canadiens with six goals and has 10 points.

Rangers Sign James Reimer to One-Year Deal
Goaltender James Reimer joined the New York Rangers on Sunday, signing a one-year, $850,000 contract. The Rangers needed to add goalie depth after losing Igor Shesterkin (knee) for the year. Currently, the team is also without Joonas Korpisalo (lower body). Reimer is a highly experienced netminder with nearly 500 career starts. Last season, he had a stint with the Ottawa Senators, posting a 7-4-2 record, a 2.42 goals-against average, and an .886 save percentage. In New York, Reimer will fill backup duties behind Dylan Garand.

Rocco Baldelli Withdraws From Mariners' Managerial Search
Los Angeles Dodgers special assistant Rocco Baldelli has withdrawn from the search for a new Seattle Mariners manager, according to a report from The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. Rosenthal reports that Baldelli has cited "family considerations" in withdrawing his name from consideration for the Mariners' open position. Baldelli currently serves as a special assistant to the president of baseball operations with the Dodgers. He was previously the manager of the Minnesota Twins from 2019 to 2025 and was the American League Manager of the Year in 2019 and won three AL Central division titles.

Cam Skattebo Expected to Be OK After Hamstring Scare
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) is expected to be OK after experiencing discomfort during his 42-yard overtime run in Sunday's 27-21 victory over the Houston Texans, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, and while the early outlook is encouraging, his availability for Week 9 has not been confirmed. Skattebo told ESPN's Dan Graziano that he felt something in his hamstring and went down at the Houston 30-yard line, setting up Devin Singletary's game-winning touchdown on the following play. The second-year back rushed for a career-high 124 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries, reclaiming a significant role after receiving no touches in Week 6. The Giants have a Week 8 bye before visiting the Philadelphia Eagles on November 8, giving Skattebo additional recovery time.

Wyndham Clark Looking to Bounce Back This Week at Vidanta Vallarta
It was a disappointing trip to Japan for Wyndham Clark for the Baycurrent Classic a couple of weeks ago, finishing T63. It was the first appearance in a month, and while the lack of strokes-gained data makes it hard to pinpoint what exactly went wrong, it's easy to assume that the putter wasn't working with the same efficiency that won three times in 2026. The US Open Champion will make his third career appearance this week at the Mexico Open, his first since 2023. He's struggled off the tee at this venue, averaging -0.307 strokes gained over his eight rounds played. Vidanta Vallarta is a bigger ballpark, and the 32-year-old needs his driver to cooperate more to improve his record here, especially when scores reach -20 under par or more. Though he still commands consideration in DFS lineups.

Jordyn Tyson a Waiver-Wire Target Ahead of Potential Return
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is a player to watch on the waiver wire as he prepares to return. Tyson suffered a hamstring injury in August, expected to cost him two months. He was placed on injured reserve but traveled with the team to France for their Week 7 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. With the Saints heading into their Week 8 bye, many have speculated that Tyson could return to the lineup in Week 9, though the exact timing is unclear. The eighth overall pick is an unbelievable talent, totaling 1,817 yards and 19 touchdowns in 20 college games. With Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele operating as the top two receivers for quarterback Tyler Shough, Tyson may have trouble finding a fantasy-relevant role in this offense, but his elite talent will be hard to keep off the field once he's healthy.

Chris Godwin Jr. Struggles Again, Droppable in Most Leagues
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. hauled in four of five targets for 27 yards in the 43-13 win over the Carolina Panthers. Godwin also had a touchdown called back due to an illegal shift penalty in the first half. After Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) was ruled out for Week 7, many expected Godwin to step up as the Buccaneers' lead receiver. Although he led the team in targets, Tampa Bay was unstoppable on the ground, leaving quarterback Baker Mayfield to throw only 11 times. Egbuka practiced on Friday, so signs point to a Week 8 return for the second-year receiver. If Egbuka returns, Godwin is a droppable player in fantasy leagues, as he continues to struggle to start his 10th season.
