Jadarian Price returned from IR to lead the Seahawks backfield with 10 carries. He turned it into a team-high 29 rushing yards while adding 8 more yards on 2 receptions to finish with 5.7 PPR points. His fringe RB3 finish against the Bears defense remains a promising sign for the first-round rookie in just his fourth career game.
Colston Loveland matched WR Luther Burden III for the target lead in the Bears Monday Night Football win over the Seahawks. He caught seven of 9 targets for 65 yards on his way to ranking as the TE12 for his third straight TE1 finish.
Luther Burden matched TE Colston Loveland for the team lead in targets, hauling in seven of nine for 56 yards and a TD. He finished with 18.6 PPR points against a Seahawks defense that had allowed more than 18 PPR points to just two WRs prior. Burden ranks as a WR1 for a consecutive week.
D’Andre Swift handled a season-high 27 rush attempts for 69 yards and 3 TDs, while adding 10 yards on 2 receptions. That added up to 27.9 PPR points and an RB4 finish in Week 8. It’s the second time this season he’s found the endzone three times in a week, giving him his fifth RB1 week.
Commanders RB Jeremy McNichols is expected to miss multiple months with a foot injury suffered in Sunday night's win over the Eagles, according to The Athletic's Tashan Reed. McNichols had been working in a 3-RB committee with Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler the past two weeks, totaling 10 carries and one target. That 3-man committee will now be a 2-man committee, at least for the next two weeks with RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt on IR. Ekeler is still unlikely to be a fantasy asset, but White gets a boost.
Ravens K Tyler Loop is "dealing with a little bit of an injury" and might land on IR, HC Jesse Minter said Monday. We'll look for more details, but Loop can be dropped from all fantasy rosters. Baltimore will turn to K Jake Moody for Thursday night's game vs. the Jaguars, but he's not a viable fantasy play. Baltimore is implied for just 16.25 points.
Ravens QB Joe Fagnano has an ankle injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, putting his availability for Thursday night's game vs. the Jaguars in question. "He's kinda working through some things," HC Jesse Minter said Monday. "Expect him to have a chance to play on Thursday." With QB Lamar Jackson (thumb) heading to IR and QB Tyler Huntley (toe) expected to miss at least Week 9, Baltimore signed QB Austin Reed to the practice squad. Reed, who went undrafted in 2024, spent about two weeks with the Ravens in August. He completed 56% of his passes at 6.2 yards per attempt for the Dallas Renegades of the UFL earlier this year. The Ravens are down bad.
Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur said Monday that RB Jeremiyah Love suffered a new right ankle injury in the Week 8 win over the Cowboys. Love suffered a high right ankle sprain in the preseason, hurt his left ankle in Week 2, and then suffered this new right ankle injury vs. Dallas. LaFleur didn't give any more details on the latest injury, but we'd be surprised if Love played against the Seahawks this weekend. It's starting to feel like a lost rookie season. Arizona also lost RB Bam Knight to a concussion yesterday, leaving him no better than 50/50 for Week 9. His absence would likely leave Tyler Allgeier in an every-down role.
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (ankle) "has a chance" to practice this week, HC Sean McVay said Monday. He's been sidelined since Week 3. It's unclear if he'll be ready for Sunday's game vs. the Commanders, but Ferguson is nearing a return. The rookie was blanked in the opener but posted a 6-54-1 line in Week 2. He has a chance to emerge as the No. 2 target in the Rams' passing game for however long WR Davante Adams is out and is worth stashing now in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams.
Cardinals WR Kendrick Bourne broke his tibia in Sunday's win over the Cowboys, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Bourne doesn't need surgery but will be sidelined for 3 months, ending his 2026 campaign. Bourne registered a 61% route rate and 15% target share in three full games without WR Marvin Harrison. He joins Jalen Brooks on IR, leaving Arizona woefully thin at WR. Reggie Virgil, Simi Fehoko, and Devin Duvernay are on the active roster behind Michael Wilson, with Zay Jones and Harrison Wallace on the practice squad. You can ignore those guys on the waiver wire this week. Wilson and TE Trey McBride will continue dominating Cardinals targets.
Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur announced Monday that the team will stick with Gardner Minshew as the starter going forwar, according to multiple reports. He added that the team will elevate rookie Carson Beck to the backup role, which would mean demoting Jacoby Brissett all the way to the emergency third-QB spot.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta managed just 3 catches for 33 yards on a 20% target share in Sunday’s win over Minnesota. That followed an even quieter Week 7, when he caught only 1 of 2 targets for 18 yards.
The Seahawks activated RB Jadarian Price (chest) from IR, putting him on track to play vs. the Bears tonight. The rookie has been out since Week 3. Price averaged 4.3 yards per carry over his first three games but struggled with injuries and ball security. With RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) expected to make his 2026 debut tonight, it's completely unclear what Seattle's backfield will look like in terms of touch split.
The Vikings managed just 46 rushing yards from their backfield in Week 8, with Aaron Jones contributing 22 and Jordan Mason adding 20. Mason led the way with a 50% carry share, compared with 31% for Jones. Minnesota also mixed in No. 3 RB DeeJay Dallas, who handled one carry and played 34% of the snaps.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers was held without a catch in Sunday’s loss to Buffalo. Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley both departed with first half injuries, leaving Flowers to run routes for third-string rookie Joe Fagnano.
Packers WR Christian Watson broke a rib in Thursday night's win over the Panthers, passing game coordinator Jason Vrable said Monday. Watson, of course, heroically returned from the hospital to finish out that game, racking up 8 catches for 113 yards. Two of those grabs came after the injury. Vrable said Watson is sore but “doing great.” We'll keep tabs on him this week, but we're expecting Watson to play vs. the Patriots on Sunday.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is "likely" out for the season with the right thumb injury he suffered in the Week 8 loss to the Bills, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jackson is slated for surgery on that thumb, and we should get confirmation on a timeline for return then. We'll keep you updated on the situation, but Jackson is droppable from redraft rosters on this week's waiver run.
Bills WR D.J. Moore returned from a shoulder injury to post 4 catches, 82 yards, and 1 score vs. Baltimore. His 21% target share led the team. Buffalo didn't ease him into action, either, with his 89% route rate leading the team.
Bills TE Dalton Kincaid recorded a game-high 86 yards and 1 TD in Sunday’s win over Baltimore. Kincaid’s 4 catches and 6 targets both tied for second on the team.
Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon managed only 69 yards on 19 attempts in Sunday’s Week 8 matchup vs. the Patriots. He failed to haul in his only target.
