Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) was ruled out after suffering a hip injury during the first half of Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, the team believes that Hendrickson's injury is not significant, according to Jordan Schultz of The Schultz Report. There's no clear timetable for his return to action, but Schultz's X post seems to suggest that Hendrickson has a chance to play against the Chicago Bears in Week 9. It's also possible that the Bengals hold him out since they have a Week 10 bye, giving him a full 21 days to rest and recover. Myles Murphy and Shemar Stewart could earn more defensive snaps if Hendrickson, a defensive star and potential trade target, misses time.

Philadelphia Eagles running back
Saquon Barkley (groin) "seems confident" that he'll be able to play in the team's next game during Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.com. Barkley injured his groin on the final play of the third quarter during Sunday's Week 8 win over the New York Giants. He didn't return to the game, but the decision to hold him out may have been precautionary since Philadelphia led by three scores at the time. The Eagles have a Week 9 bye, so Barkley will get 15 days to rest and recover before facing the Packers. His 174 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on Sunday will vault him back into RB1 territory going forward.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told the media that
Dillon Gabriel will remain the team's starting quarterback following their Week 9 bye. Gabriel struggled in Sunday's loss to the Patriots, completing 60 percent of his passes for just 156 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. The rookie had struggled through his three previous starts, but the lone bright spot during that span was the fact that Gabriel had not turned over the football. That streak came to an end in Week 8 as the Patriots picked him off twice. Cleveland's quarterback room also features
Shedeur Sanders (back) and
Bailey Zappe, neither of whom has played an NFL snap in 2025. Gabriel will have at least one more opportunity to save his job when the 2-6 Browns face the New York Jets in Week 10.

New York Giants running back
Cam Skattebo (ankle) was diagnosed with a dislocated ankle during Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. He has been taken to the hospital for further evaluation. Skattebo suffered the gruesome-looking ankle injury while being tackled near the middle of the field in the first quarter. He finished the game with 12 rushing yards plus an 18-yard touchdown reception. The rookie's season is likely over, pending an official diagnosis from medical professionals. If his injury is confirmed as season-ending,
Tyrone Tracy Jr. will take over as the Giants' lead running back while
Devin Singletary occupies the backup role.

Philadelphia Eagles running back
Saquon Barkley (groin) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 8 contest against the New York Giants. He was taken into the blue medical tent for further evaluation, and the team is now listing him as questionable to return. The Eagles may be keeping Barkley off the field as a precaution because they lead by three possessions in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. If his day is indeed done, he will finish with 14 carries, 150 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown, as well as four catches, 24 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown. This easily goes down as Barkley's best game of the year, getting him back on track after ranking as the overall RB14 (PPR) through the first seven weeks. The Eagles have a Week 9 bye and don't play again until Nov. 10 against the Packers, giving Barkley a full 15 days to rest and recover before his next game. In the event that he still can't suit up coming out of the bye, Tank Bigbsy would be in line to lead Philadelphia's backfield.

Cleveland Browns running back
Quinshon Judkins (shoulder) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 8 contest against the New England Patriots. He was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. Fortunately for Judkins and his fantasy managers, the Browns have a Week 9 bye, giving the rookie 14 days to recover before his next game (Nov. 9 against the Jets). In the event that Judkins' absence lasts multiple weeks and keeps him sidelined coming out of the bye,
Jerome Ford and
Dylan Sampson would be in line to lead Cleveland's backfield.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Luther Burden III (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. He initially exited in the third quarter and entered concussion protocol before being ruled out. The rookie finishes the game with just one catch for a loss of one yard.
Rome Odunze,
DJ Moore, and
Olamide Zaccheaus will continue to operate as the Bears' top three receivers going forward. Burden is at risk of missing next Sunday's game against the Bengals, as he would need to clear concussion protocol in less than seven days to play.

Cleveland Browns running back
Quinshon Judkins (shoulder) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 8 contest against the New England Patriots. He is officially listed as questionable to return. With Cleveland trailing by three possessions in the fourth quarter, we could see the Browns exercise caution and limit Judkins' workload the rest of the way, or keep him sidelined entirely. If his day is indeed done, he finishes with just 19 rushing yards, plus three catches for a loss of two receiving yards.
Jerome Ford and
Dylan Sampson would be in line to lead Cleveland's backfield if Judkins misses extended time.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 8 matchup against the New York Jets due to a hip injury. Hendrickson missed Week 7 and was limited in practice heading into Week 8 with a hip issue, so this appears to be a re-aggravation of an existing injury. Hendrickson recorded one solo tackle but was held without a sack in Week 8 before getting injured. The 30-year-old pass-rusher entered Week 8 with four sacks and eight QB hits in six games played so far this season. With Hendrickson sidelined, Myles Murphy and rookie Shemar Stewart will likely both see an increase in playing time at defensive end for Cincinnati.

New York Giants running back
Cam Skattebo (ankle) has officially been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles after suffering a serious-looking ankle injury. Skattebo had his lower leg placed in an air cast and was carted off the field. Before getting injured, Skattebo recorded 30 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on four total touches. With Skattebo sidelined for the remainder of Week 8 and potentially much longer, the Giants will turn to a backfield combination of
Tyrone Tracy Jr. and
Devin Singletary. Tracy Jr. had recorded 174 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 43 total touches across five games entering Week 8.

Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Ed Oliver (biceps) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 8 matchup against the Carolina Panthers due to a biceps injury. Oliver recorded two QB hits and a sack before being forced to leave the game. The 27-year-old had been limited to just two games played this season heading into Week 8, and it appears he will now be battling a new ailment coming out of the week. Oliver is widely considered one of the better interior pass rushers in the NFL, so his absence is a big loss for the Buffalo defense. Larry Ogunjobi, Deone Walker, and Jordan Phillips will all likely see an uptick in playing time at defensive tackle for the Bills with Oliver sidelined.

New York Giants rookie running back
Cam Skattebo (ankle) suffered a serious-looking ankle injury during his team's Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Skattebo had an air cast placed on his leg and was carted off the field. Assuming the rookie's day is done, he will finish Week 8 with 30 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on four total touches. With Skattebo likely out for the remainder of Week 8 and possibly much longer, the Giants will turn to the combination of
Tyrone Tracy Jr. and
Devin Singletary in the backfield. Tracy Jr. recorded 1,123 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns across 17 games in 2024, so he's capable of producing in a lead-back role.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback
Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) underwent surgery on Monday to repair his orbital fracture, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. He has been sidelined since Week 6 following a freak accident with a piece of workout equipment. The Colts are leaving the door open for Richardson to return later this season, but his fantasy stock is at an all-time low. Even if he does play again this year, Richardson would merely operate as the backup quarterback behind
Daniel Jones, who has revived his career during his first year in Indianapolis.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Luke Gifford (hamstring) and defensive back Deommodore Lenoir (quadriceps) are both active for Sunday's tilt against the Houston Texans. Gifford practiced in a limited capacity on Friday and progressed enough to be cleared for action. Lenoir opened the week as a non-participating but was able to log a limited session on Friday to suit up. Gifford has had a prominent role on special teams, totaling 18 tackles with five of them being solo. Lenoir has been a lead option in the secondary and enters Week 8 with 26 tackles (19 solo) and two pass deflections.

Atlanta Falcons defensive back Jordan Fuller (knee) is active, and defensive lineman Zac Harrison (knee) is inactive for their contest against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon. Fuller has been on the shelf since suffering this knee injury during their opening contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In 2024, Fuller tallied 54 tackles (28 solo) with one forced fumble as a Carolina Panther. Harrison sustained this injury during their loss to the 49ers last weekend and will miss his first game of the campaign. With Harrison sidleined, managers should expect Leonard Floyd and Ta'Quon Graham to see more snaps on the defensive line.
