Fantasy Football News

Bills WR D.J. Moore (shoulder) is expected to play vs. the Ravens today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Moore has been out since aggravating his shoulder injury in Week 4. He's posted 5-100-1 and 6-67-0 receiving lines in his only two full games this season. Moore carries re-injury risk but also lots of upside in fantasy lineups today.

Jets RB Breece Hall (quad) is not expected to play vs. the Raiders today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That will keep RB Braelon Allen in a workhorse role against the 25th-ranked RB defense. He's a virtual must-start in fantasy lineups.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the "Raiders' plan continues to be to play Kirk Cousins as long as possible, and right now, they don't believe he is to blame for their recent struggles after a 3-0 start." Cousins has thrown a league-high 16 TD passes vs. just 5 INTs. His completion rate (62.6%) and yards per pass attempt (7.3) sit below his career rates in both categories but are also up vs. last year's numbers.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport writes that Jets RB Braelon Allen is "slated to start" vs. the Raiders today. He doesn't say whether RB Breece Hall will play. Hall is listed as questionable with his quad injury after a limited week of practice. We'll look for more info on Hall's status and get New York's inactives around 11:30 am. He'll be a risky fantasy start if he ends up playing. Allen looks like at least a RB2 -- and a RB1 if Hall ends up inactive.

Cowboys WR George Pickens (shoulder, hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Cardinals today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Pickens was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, but HC Brian Schottenheimer said Friday that he'd play. Barring further reports about a snap count for Pickens today, he remains a high-upside start against Arizona’s 23rd-ranked WR defense.

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (hamstring, ankle) is "good to go" for today's game vs. the Colts, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Meyers is listed as questionable after putting in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday but sitting out Friday. That adds risk to his Week 8 profile, although there's plenty of upside here with Jacksonville rocking a 28.25-point implied total.

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) is "trending in the right direction to play" vs. the Chiefs this afternoon, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Waddle got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and is listed as questionable after aggravating a chest injury last week. That adds risk to a guy who's already been a fantasy bust. Waddle at least catches a Kansas City secondary missing CBs Mansoor Delane and L'Jarius Sneed.

Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed (knee) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Bears. WR Tory Horton should see a boost in playing time but is only in play in single-game daily contests.

Seahawks RBs Jadarian Price (chest) and Zach Charbonnet (knee) are off the final injury report and expected to play vs. the Bears on Monday night, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It'll be Charbonnet's season debut and Price's first game since Week 3. "Now we’re at the stage of the plan where Zach is gonna play, and we have a plan for how much, and what types of plays he’s gonna have, and all that," HC Mike Macdonald said Saturday. It's impossible to know how work will be divvied between Charbonnet, Price, and RB Emanuel Wilson, leaving all 3 as shaky Week 8 fantasy plays.

The Broncos are placing RB RJ Harvey on short-term IR because of the knee injury he suffered in practice this week. That'll knock him out for at least four games, though it doesn't sound like the team expects him to remain out longer than that. The timing helps by giving Harvey extra time via the Week 10 bye. He'll be eligible to return for the Week 13 home date with the Dolphins.

Bears TE Colston Loveland (neck) is off the final Week 8 injury report. He was limited in Friday's practice but back to full participation on Saturday. He should be ready for his usual role vs. the Seahawks on Monday night and sits sixth in our Week 8 TE rankings.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (thumb, toe) remained sidelined in practice all week and is out for Monday night's game against the Seahawks. RB D'Andre Swift has averaged 15.7 carries and 4.7 targets with Monangai out over the last 3 games. He's a fringe RB1 play in Week 8, despite the matchup with Seattle's ninth-ranked RB defense.

The Patriots have downgraded WR A.J. Brown and RB TreVeyon Henderson to out for Sunday's game at Miami. That's not a shock in either case, given that both players missed practice Thursday and Friday. The absences provide boosts in opportunity upside to RB Rhamondre Stevenson, RB Corey Kiner, and WR Demario Douglas. Before Brown returned for last week's game at Chicago, Douglas supplied receiving lines of 4-65-2 and 7-86-1 the previous two weeks. He becomes an intriguing PPR play against a weak Miami defense. Check our Week 8 rankings for all the adjustments.

The Colts are "open" to trading RB Jonathan Taylor ahead of the November 10 deadline, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. "Multiple teams have reached out to Indianapolis, and those talks are said to be active and ongoing," Schefter adds. Teams believed to be interested in Taylor include the Broncos, Packers, Vikings, Giants, and Seahawks. The price will be high, though. The Ringer's Tom Pelissero reports that the Colts already turned down a 2027 second-round draft pick plus an additional pick for Taylor. We'd still consider him no better than 50/50 to be traded. A move out of Indianapolis would likely help his fantasy value. Taylor would see plenty of volume in his new home, and he'd be getting an upgrade in situation from a mostly dead Colts offense.

The Packers expect to get Edge Micah Parsons back at practice for the first time this season ahead of Week 9, but don't look for him on the field that week. According to multiple reports, Parsons and the team are targeting the Wednesday night game of Week 12 for his return to game action. Parsons tore the ACL and meniscus in his left knee last December.

The Denver Post's Sam Jane reports that Broncos RB R.J. Harvey's knee injury "is not believed to be severe or hold him out long term." We'll see if we get any other details on the injury that Harvey seemingly suffered in Thursday's practice. He's been ruled out for this weekend's game vs. the Chiefs. Denver then gets Carolina in Week 9 before a Week 10 bye. Harvey is worth keeping rostered in most fantasy leagues for now.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins. He missed the final two practices of the week. Players rarely miss games with illnesses, but Henderson’s status is worth checking on Sunday morning.

Cowboys WR George Pickens (shoulder, hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. HC Brian Schottenheimer said Friday that he expects Pickens to play. The injuries add some risk to his profile, but Pickens would be very tough to leave out of fantasy lineups against Arizona’s 23rd-ranked WR defense.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, and is off the final injury report. HC Mike LaFleur said Friday that Love is "feeling as good as he can feel." It certainly doesn’t sound like he’s all the way back to 100%. Consider the rookie a risk/reward fantasy start in Sunday’s plus matchup against the Cowboys’ league-worst RB defense. RB Tyler Allgeier (toe) only got in two limited practices this week but is off the final injury report.

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Waddle seemingly has a chance to play in this one but would be a risky fantasy start at less than 100% against the Chiefs’ fifth-ranked WR defense.
