Fantasy Football News

Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett was benched with a little under 2 minutes to go in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. He threw for just 119 yards with 0 TDs and 1 INT before getting the hook. QB Gardner Minshew has replaced Brissett. Rookie QB Carson Beck, who's been dealing with a back injury, is the emergency third QB.

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. He was listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. That adds some re-injury risk to a guy who already looked like a fringe fantasy option.

Broncos DT Zach Allen and S Brandon Jones are active for today's game against the Chiefs. Both guys entered the day questionable but appear ready to use as planned in IDP lineups.

Cardinals RB Bam Knight sustained a concussion in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys and won't return. RB Jeremiyah Love remains questionable to return with his ankle injury, but Arizona is down to RB Tyler Allgeier for now.

Cardinals WR Kendrick Bourne suffered a high-ankle sprain in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys and won't return, according to the Fox broadcast. Bourne finishes with 1 catch on 2 targets for 29 yards. He figures to miss multiple game if this diagnosis is accurate.

Rams TE Colby Parkinson (rib) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Chargers. That leaves Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen as the clear top TEs. Higbee is a viable Week 8 fantasy start.

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley is officially questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Bills with a toe injury. Baltimore lost QB Lamar Jackson on their first offensive snap, leaving emergency third-string QB Joe Fagnano under center. Huntley is not allowed to re-enter since Fagano took a snap, so it'll be the undrafted rookie at the controls the rest of the way.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love suffered an apparent right ankle injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. That's the same ankle he hurt this preseason. Love eventually headed back to the locker room with trainers. Stay tuned for an update.

Update: Love is officially questionable to return with an ankle injury.

Bills WR Josh Palmer injured his hamstring running a deep route in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. He's officially doubtful to return, but don't expect to see him back out there. That could mean a slight boost in snaps for WR Keon Coleman.

Falcons WR Zachariah Branch suffered a hamstring injury on a kickoff return in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Buccaneers and won't return. The rookie has been a non-factor in fantasy, totaling 10 catches for 64 scoreless yards through Week 7.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson suffered an apparent right hand injury on his very first throw of Sunday's game vs. the Bills. He headed straight back to the locker room with trainers. We'll update Jackson's status when we learn more.

Update: Jackson has been ruled out.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals and is questionable to return. With TE Luke Schoonmaker inactive today, Brevyn Spann-Ford is left as Dallas' lead TE for now.

Update: Ferguson returned later in the first quarter.

Update: Ferguson was ruled out at halftime.

Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) has a chance to make his debut vs. the Browns next weekend, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. "But even if it’s not then, he is not far away from playing," Schefter adds. Tyson has been sidelined since re-injuring his right hamstring in mid-August. That hamstring has given him trouble for over a year now. The Saints have wisely played it safe with the first-round rookie's return, and we don't expect him to play a full slate of snaps right away. But a healthy Tyson could become a big part of this Saints passing game down the stretch. He's worth rostering in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.

Falcons LB Divine Deablo is inactive for today's game against the Buccaneers. He had reportedly been "optimistic" about his chances of returning after missing last week's game with a forearm injury. Deablo's absence keeps rookie Kendal Daniels the lead LB for a second straight game. He makes for a strong IDP play after a big Week 7 performance. Check the Week 8 IDP rankings for Daniels' upward movement.

Cowboys WR George Pickens (shoulder, hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, but HC Brian Schottenheimer said Friday that Pickens would play. We haven’t heard anything about a snap count for him today. Pickens remains a high-upside start against Arizona’s 23rd-ranked WR defense.

Buccaneers RB Kenneth Gainwell (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice, so we’re expecting him to play his usual change-of-pace role behind RB Bucky Irving.

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (hamstring, ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Colts. He was listed as questionable after missing Friday’s practice, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said this morning that Meyers is “good to go.” He’s a fringe WR3 or flex play, sitting 40th in our Week 8 WR rankings.

Bills WR D.J. Moore (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Ravens. He originally hurt his shoulder in Week 2 and then aggravated it 23 snaps into Week 4. There remains re-injury risk here, but Moore also boasts a big ceiling in this likely shootout. He's posted 5-100-1 and 6-67-0 receiving lines in his only two full games this season.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (chest) is active for today’s game vs. the Ravens. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, but Kincaid played through this issue prior to Buffalo’s Week 7 bye. He seems relatively safe to get into Week 8 fantasy lineups.

Titans WR Calvin Ridley (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He should be in a full-time role with WR Carnell Tate out today. But Ridley is not a recommended fantasy start against a Cincinnati defense that’s allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to outside receivers.
