Sam Darnold Might Draw Start On Sunday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Sam Darnold could be in line for his first start of the year in Week 8 at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. Regular quarterback Brock Purdy remained in the league's concussion protocol on Friday and could be forced to sit. In 2022 with the Panthers, Darnold averaged 14.4 fantasy points per […]

Joshua Dobbs A Week 8 Bench Stash

While Arizona waits on Kyler Murray's return (knee), quarterback Joshua Dobbs prepares for potentially his last start of the season in Week 8. Even though Dobbs will most likely be on the field when the game begins, the matchup is brutal. Arizona will go up against a Baltimore defense that is at or near the […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 8: Geno Smith, Miles Sanders, and Tyler Lockett

Week 8 of the fantasy football season is underway and while we may have drafted certain players at a premium, it is okay to consider benching them despite their name value.

Joe Burrow Looking To Lead Bengals To Another Win

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow looks to lead his team to a third-straight win on Sunday against the 49ers. The Bengals were off in Week 7, which couldn't have come soon enough for many players on Cincinnati's roster, including Burrow, who has battled a calf issue since training camp. Although the signal-caller claimed the injury […]

Jordan Love Has Another Great Matchup In Week 8

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love will take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. The 24-year-old has failed to clear 200 passing yards since Week 4 and has only done so three times this season. He has the lowest completion percentage among qualified quarterbacks and is struggling to get the offense in rhythm on […]

Zach Wilson Can't Be Trusted In Week 8

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson will return from a Week 7 bye to face the New York Giants on Sunday. Wilson has just four passing touchdowns to five interceptions on the season and could struggle against a Giants defense that has surrendered the 10th-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Although the third-year […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Gets In Full Practice Session

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (back) has been upgraded to a full participant during Friday's practice. That is good news as it appears Garoppolo is on track to return for Monday's game against the Detroit Lions. The veteran quarterback was forced to sit out last week due to a lingering back issue. The Raiders […]

Brock Purdy Considered Questionable For Week 8

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (concussion) is currently considered as questionable for the Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Purdy was able to practice on Friday, but remains in concussion protocol heading into the weekend. The fact Purdy has practiced each of the last two days is a good sign heading into this […]

Kenny Pickett Has Great Matchup In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett will be looking to lead the team to its third consecutive win as he faces the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 8. Pickett has just two showings this year with more than 15 fantasy points but he could surprise on Sunday. The Jaguars have surrendered the third-most fantasy points per contest […]

Jalen Hurts Looks To Stay Hot Against Washington

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will go on the road to take on the Washington Commanders in Week 8. The 25-year-old dismantled the Dolphins this past week, completing two touchdown passes and running in an additional score. He has been a top-10 quarterback seven weeks in a row and will look to continue to roll […]

Lamar Jackson Primed For Another Big Week

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is fresh off of his best performance of the season and will look to continue that momentum against a vulnerable Arizona Cardinals defense in Week 8. The Cardinals are currently the third-easiest matchup for opposing quarterbacks in terms of fantasy points per game. They allow 18.8 per game and have […]

Tua Tagovailoa Has Borderline QB1 Value In Week 8

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has finished as a QB1 in multiple weeks this season but not when he played against the New England Patriots in Week 2. Right now, the Patriots are the ninth toughest defense against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy terms. They're only giving up an average of 14.1 fantasy points per game […]

Kyler Murray Listed As Doubtful For Week 8 Against The Ravens

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Murray, who is coming off a torn ACL, had his 21-day practice window opened up last week so there was a chance that he could play this Sunday but it makes sense for the Cardinals to […]

Trevor Lawrence Questionable For Week 8 But Should Play

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Lawrence got in some limited practices this week and played last Thursday with the same knee issue, so he should be all systems go for Week 8. The 24-year-old has passed for 1683 yards to go […]

Kirk Cousins A QB1 Option Versus Packers In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to keep it rolling in Week 8 against the Packers after leading his team to an upset win over the 49ers with 378 passing yards and two touchdowns in Week 7. Cousins gave fantasy managers a boost in confidence as he was able to produce notable numbers without […]

Trevor Lawrence Looks To Build On Season-Best Fantasy Performance

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (knee) squares off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a tough Week 8 road tilt on Sunday. The star quarterback has been dealing with a knee injury that threatened to keep him out against the Saints, but Lawrence fought through and ended with a season-high in rushing yards (59). He has […]

Sam Howell Aiming For Repeat Performance Against Eagles

Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell will be aiming for a repeat performance against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8. During their previous matchup in Week 4, the second-year quarterback had his best performance of the season by completing 29-of-40 passes for 290 yards and a touchdown along with six carries for 40 yards while nearly […]

Justin Fields Ruled Out For Week 8

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (thumb) has been officially ruled out for the Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. This comes a no surprise given the fact Fields was considered doubtful up to this point. The expectation is that the Bears will once again start Tyson Bagent under center this week. He threw […]
