Dak Prescott In Danger Of Missing Week 8?

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) was sore on Friday after ramping up the intensity in practice on Thursday, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. "It's more than just one game. We're obviously in our seventh game, so there is a ton of football left to play," McCarthy said on a decision on Prescott's status […]

Baker Mayfield Has A Chance to Play In Week 8

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) has a "chance" to play in Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He missed last Thursday's win over the Denver Broncos with a fully torn labrum and fractured humerus bone in his left, non-throwing shoulder. Fantasy managers should know if Mayfield will suit up on Sunday once the Browns […]

Justin Herbert - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

After a performance to forget in Week 6 and a bye week in Week 7, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will seek to return to form against the New England Patriots in Week 8. The sophomore slinger has been having a very positive season overall, but his last performance left a bad taste in […]

Kyler Murray Suffers Ankle Injury In Thursday's Loss

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) limped off the field with an ankle injury at the end of Thursday's 24-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The 24-year-old was spotted in a walking boot and told the media that his "ankle is fine after the game." He has 10 days to recover for Week 9's […]

Tape Tells All: Patrick Mahomes' Sudden Breakdown

Welcome back to Tape Tells All, the weekly-ish series where I look at film for something that happened in the NFL this week. Patrick Mahomes is bad now. Alright, not bad, but he definitely doesn't look like vintage Patrick Mahomes right now. There's a lot of things that factor into that. Let's see if we can […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 8 - Daily Fantasy Football

Even though the season feels like it just began, we are nearly halfway through the 2021-22 campaign. Week 8 started with Thursday Night Football, featuring Aaron Rodgers and the Packers heading to the desert for a meeting with Kyler Murray and the Cardinals. Unfortunately for the reigning MVP, his favorite target, Davante Adams, wasn't in […]

Andrus Peat Needs Surgery For Torn Pectoral

New Orleans Saints offensive guard Andrus Peat (pectoral) will undergo season-ending surgery on his torn pectoral on Friday, according to a source. Peat suffered the torn pectoral early on in the Monday night win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7. The injuries continue for Peat, as he's never played a full season in the […]

Teddy Bridgewater Dealing With Oblique Injury

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (oblique) was added to the Week 8 injury report, but he was able to get in a full practice on Thursday. The oblique is a new injury for Bridgewater, but it doesn't look like it will keep him from starting in a Week 8 matchup against the Washington Football Team. […]

DeAndre Hopkins Officially Active Thursday Night

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is officially active on Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers. Hopkins didn't practice at all this week, but he should still be the top target for quarterback Kyler Murray against a Packers defense that remains without top cornerbacks Jaire Alexander (shoulder) and Kevin King (shoulder). The bad […]

Matt Ryan - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a low-end QB1 against the Panthers in Week 8. Ryan has thrown for at least 342 yards in the last two games and overall has 12 touchdowns to four picks on the season. While he hasn't had any explosive games, the QB has been serviceable this season. The Panthers […]

Baker Mayfield Making Good Progress

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) looked good on short and intermediate routes again in practice on Thursday and is making progress towards starting in Week 8 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Mayfield missed last Thursday's win over the Denver Broncos with a fully torn labrum and fractured humerus bone in his left, non-throwing shoulder. […]

Taysom Hill Absent From Practice Again

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (concussion) was absent from practice again on Thursday. Though Hill has no immediate fantasy value, if he were healthy, perhaps he would have an opportunity to relieve Jameis Winston of his starting quarterback duties. When Drew Brees was injured in 2020, although Winston was on the roster, Hill was […]

Tua Tagovailoa - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has put together two solid performances following his return from the IR. Despite that, the trade rumors continue to swirl involving Deshaun Watson heading to Miami. Obviously, these rumors are going to bother Tagovailoa and hopefully won't impact his performance on the field. Tagovailoa has played well over the last […]

Jalen Hurts - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts hasn't been great on the NFL field, but he's been an excellent fantasy quarterback regardless. There are already loud whispers about backup Gardner Minshew potentially taking over under center for the Eagles, while Hurts is currently having a top-five fantasy season. Much of his production is coming on rushing touchdowns […]

Dak Prescott Believes He Can Play Against Vikings

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) believes he can play in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings, although he's not sure "if it's just my decision." Prescott suffered a right calf strain late in the Week 6 win over the New England Patriots, but he had the bye week to recover and should be fine […]

Patrick Mahomes Good To Go For Monday Night

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that there are no injury concerns for quarterback Patrick Mahomes (head), and he is good to go for Monday night's game against the New York Giants. Mahomes took an ugly hit late in the Week 7 loss to the Tennessee Titans and was slow to get up. […]

Mac Jones - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones shouldn't be viewed as a favorable fantasy option for Week 8. Although, he is coming off the best performance of his young NFL career. Last week, Jones posted 300-plus yards and two touchdowns in the victory over the New York Jets. However, it's not going to be as easy […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (10/29/21)

We are back down to two college football games on Friday this week. That's a bit disappointing after the larger slates last week, but we still have some good plays on this slate. Let's see what we have to work with. We kick this off with Tulsa hosting a Navy team that almost pulled the […]

Josh Allen - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has turned it around after a fairly slow start to the season. Over the last two games, Allen has thrown over 300 yards in both contests with six combined touchdowns. Now, Allen will head into a matchup against a Dolphins defense that ranks 26th in pass DVOA so far in […]

Trevor Lawrence - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is a solid QB2/streamer option against Seattle in Week 8. Lawrence has cleaned up his play over his last three starts, averaging 265 passing yards per game and throwing just one interception in that time frame. Additionally, the Seahawks are hardly a daunting matchup considering that they've allowed opposing signal-callers […]

The Deshaun Watson Dilemma in Fantasy Football

We know what Deshaun Watson can do when he is on the field. Last season, he led the NFL with 4,823 passing yards. He's thrown 104 touchdowns over the better part of three and a half seasons. He has taken what looks to be a terrible team and made it into a playoff contender on […]

La'el Collins Working At Tackle And Guard

Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman La'el Collins is back from his five-game suspension and is working at both tackle and guard in practice this week, as head coach Mike McCarthy said that Terence Steele will continue to start at right tackle in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings. "We're going to push him in there," McCarthy […]

49ers Thinking About Future With Trey Lance

San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Trey Lance (knee), the third overall pick in this year's draft, is expected to return to backup duties after returning to a limited practice on Wednesday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan reiterated that Lance's health and readiness, not the team's record, would dictate how much he'll play and when he'll take […]

Kirk Cousins - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been one of the best bargains at the position all season. Completing 69.5% of his passes while averaging 295 yards per game with 13 touchdowns and only two interceptions, fantasy managers have to be thrilled with a player that was drafted around the QB18. Before the Vikings Week 7 […]

Justin Fields Has Struggled In His Rookie Season

Chicago Bears first-round rookie quarterback Justin Fields, who was drafted 11th overall, has the lowest passer rating (61.8) of any current starter heading into Week 8. He's also been sacked a league-high 22 times, has thrown six interceptions to two touchdowns and is completing just 57.3% of his 131 pass attempts. Chicago's shoddy offensive line […]

Dak Prescott - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) is a strong fantasy option, like always, if he plays in a Week 8 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Prescott and the Cowboys are coming off their bye week, but the last time he was on the field, Prescott threw for 445 yards and three touchdowns. Even […]
