Kawhi Leonard Out Again On Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Sunday versus the Pelicans. The veteran recently felt tightness in his surgically repaired knee, so the team is remaining cautious. As a result, Norman Powell will continue to run with the starting unit. Powell has averaged only 9.8 points and 3.0 rebounds while shooting just […]

Tyus Jones Will Start On Saturday Night

Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyus Jones will start on Saturday night against Utah. Ja Morant (illness) is out, so Jones will be tasked with handling the point guard duties. He's played well as a starter during his career, averaging 10.8 points, 6.6 assists, and 2.8 rebounds, making him a must-start in all formats.

Collin Sexton To Start On Saturday Night

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton will start on Saturday versus the Grizzlies. With Mike Conley (rest) getting the night off, Sexton will make his first start of the season. The 23-year-old has struggled so far in 2022-23, averaging only 11.0 points while shooting 28.6% from behind the arc. However, he has a good chance of […]

Mike Conley Won't Play Against Grizzlies

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (rest) won't play on Saturday against Memphis. The veteran will get a routine night off with the team playing its second of back-to-back games. As a result, Collin Sexton will take his place. Sexton has averaged only 11.0 points, 3.0 boards, and 1.5 assists while shooting a disastrous 28.6% this […]

John Konchar Will Play On Saturday Night

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (shoulder) will play against the Jazz. The 26-year-old didn't play on Thursday versus the Sacramento Kings due to shoulder soreness. However, he is good to go and will be tasked with providing more firepower for a Grizzlies team that won't have Ja Morant (illness) on Saturday night

Ja Morant Out Against Utah

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (illness) won't play on Saturday against the Jazz. Morant is dealing with a non-COVID-related illness, so his next chance at suiting up will happen on Monday for the rematch with Utah. In the meantime, Tyus Jones will take his place, with the 26-year-old averaging 10.8 points, 6.6 points, and 2.8 […]

Bengals Defense Has Upside In Week 8

The Bengals defense hasn't been the most consistent group for fantasy managers in 2022-23. However, things look promising for the Monday night AFC North clash against the Browns. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett hasn't played the best this season, throwing for 1,584 yards, six touchdowns, and five picks while completing 62.7% of his throws. Although Cincy may […]

Evan McPherson May See More Action In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson wasn't needed during Sunday's win over Atlanta, as the 23-year-old didn't log a single field goal attempt. However, with Ja'Marr Chase (hip) unavailable for up to six weeks, McPherson could see more action if Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense struggle to adjust moving ahead. He is usually a must-start […]

Tee Higgins Has Big Shoes To Fill On Monday Night

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has played well this season, catching 31 passes for 455 yards and two touchdowns. With that said, the 23-year-old could be in store for a significant increase in production with Ja'Marr Chase out of the equation for up to six weeks. He's certainly up to the task. Yet, Chase's […]

Tyler Boyd Hoping To Thrive In Enhanced Role

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd will need to step things up in the wake of the injury to Ja'Marr Chase (hip), who will miss up to six weeks. The 28-year-old is up to the task, as he has shined when needed during his career. Boyd is coming off his best showing of the season, […]

Week 8 Team Defense Rankings for Fantasy Football: Colts DTS, Eagles DST, Broncos DST, Jets DST, Titans DST, 49ers DST, Cowboys DST

Week 8 features some juicy defensive opportunities, with the Cowboys squaring off with the offensively ineffective Chicago Bears. At the same time, the Jets hope to capitalize on the Patriots' quarterback woes, while the Eagles defense will face an inexperienced rookie signal-caller. There are other favorable matchups, so let's take a look at our updated […]

Khalil Herbert Remains Flex Option In Week 8

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert is expected to remain involved in Week 8 versus Dallas. Granted, he'll continue to split carries with David Montgomery, with both men combining for 27 attempts versus the Pats on Monday night. Yet, head coach Matt Eberflus indicated he'd continue utilizing both men's services, so the run game may […]

Cole Kmet Not A Fantasy Option On Sunday

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet has recorded only 12 catches for 148 yards this season. He also hasn't scored a touchdown. The 23-year-old was projected to have a breakout season in 2022-23. However, that hasn't happened, considering quarterback Justin Fields' lackluster play. With that said, he has no business starting on Sunday against an […]

Darnell Mooney Has Limited Upside On Sunday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney has played somewhat better recently than he did early in the 2022-23 campaign. With that said, the 24-year-old still hasn't found the end zone. While Mooney's upside remains higher than most, Justin Fields' underwhelming play this season won't do him any favors moving ahead. Considering Matt Eberflus has enjoyed […]

Keep Justin Fields Benched Versus Potent Cowboys D

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields hasn't had the breakout season most were expecting. The 23-year-old has thrown only five touchdowns while amassing six interceptions and completing just 55.9% of his attempts this season. He has been somewhat proficient on the run. However, with a potent Cowboys' defense on tap for Week 8, fantasy managers should […]

David Montgomery A Volatile Option In Week 8

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery logged 15 carries against the Patriots in Week 7. At the same time, Khalil Herbert had 12, resulting in head coach Matt Eberflus indicating that both men would be involved moving ahead. Fantasy managers should be concerned about the timeshare. However, while the setup certainly lowers the fantasy ceilings […]

Derek Carr Without An Injury Designation For Week 8

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (back) was removed from the injury report for Sunday's meeting with New Orleans. The 31-year-old practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday but was expected to play all along after returning for full sessions on Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately, the Raiders are dealing with several questionable tags, with Davante […]

Josh Jacobs Off The Injury Report

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (foot) was removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Jacobs logged a few limited practices during the week but returned for a full session on Friday. The 24-year-old has been on a roll, amassing 441 yards and six touchdowns off 69 […]

Joe Mixon Needs To Step Up In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon has struggled this season. The former Sooner has run for only 405 yards off 121 attempts, averaging a career-worst 3.3 yards per carry. Fortunately, he has three total touchdowns, helping soften the blow for fantasy managers. With the Bengals and Browns going at it on Monday night, Joe Burrow […]

Joe Burrow Looking For A Win Without Top Wideout

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will attempt to lead his team to a win on Monday night against the Browns. The former LSU Tiger has had three regular-season meetings with Cleveland in his career, averaging 334 yards and two touchdowns per game while completing 67.8% of his throws. Unfortunately, Burrow will be without Ja'Marr Chase […]

Nelson Agholor Questionable For Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (hamstring) is questionable for the Week 8 meeting with the New York Jets. The veteran has been limited at practice all week, so there's a chance he won't be in uniform for the AFC East showdown. He began the 2022-23 campaign by compiling 11 catches for 179 yards […]

Kendrick Bourne Off The Injury Report

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (toe) is off the injury report ahead of Sunday's AFC East clash with the Jets. The 27-year-old wasn't available in Week 7 for the Monday Night Football outing versus the Chicago Bears. However, he practiced in full on Friday and no longer has an injury designation. With that […]

Jamal Agnew Limited Again On Friday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jamal Agnew (knee) logged his third-straight limited practice session on Friday. The 27-year-old didn't play in the Week 7 meeting with the New York Jets and is currently riding a questionable tag heading into Sunday's game versus the Denver Broncos. Outside of Agnew's two-touchdown performance in Week 4 against the Philadelphia […]

Hayden Hurst Logs A Limited Practice Session Friday

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst (groin, ankle) logged his second-consecutive limited practice session on Friday. Hurst has dealt with the groin issue for nearly the entire season. However, his current ankle issue is new, although it's unknown how it will impact his availability for Monday night's meeting against the Cleveland Browns. The 29-year-old has […]

CJ McCollum Expected To Suit Up Versus Phoenix

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (finger) is expected to play on Friday against Phoenix, barring a setback during warmups. The 31-year-old has been riding a questionable tag heading into this one due to a sprained middle finger on his right hand. With Brandon Ingram (head) out and Zion Williamson (hip) uncertain to suit up, […]

Michael Porter Jr. Available On Friday Night

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) is available versus the Utah Jazz and will start. The 24-year-old got the night off against the Lakers on Wednesday to rest. Considering he entered 2022-23 coming off a season-ending back injury, Porter will sit sporadically moving ahead. The 2018 first-round pick is still having a fantastic year, […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Out Against The Jazz

Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) is out for Friday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. KCP has had a fanatic season, averaging 11.8 points, 3.8 boards, 3.0 assists, and 1.2 steals while shooting 50.0% from downtown. It's unknown how long he'll be out, so there's a chance he could be back for Sunday's game versus […]

Walker Kessler Won't Suit Up Versus Nuggets

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (illness) won't play on Friday against the Denver Nuggets. The rookie is under the weather, although fortunately, it's not COVID-related. Kessler has played well in his first five professional appearances, averaging 5.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks, including amassing a double-double in the season-opener. As a result, Udoka Azubuike […]

Rudy Gay Out Versus The Nuggets

Utah Jazz forward Rudy Gay (health and safety protocols) won't play on Friday against the Denver Nuggets. The 36-year-old has averaged only 5.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists this season, so his absence won't mean much for fantasy managers. However, it may indirectly open up some playing time for Collin Sexton, who has logged […]

Collin Sexton Available On Friday Night

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (oblique) is available for Friday's clash with the Denver Nuggets. The 23-year-old has struggled this season, averaging 10.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists while shooting 30.0% from deep. Sexton has also logged a career-low 17 minutes in 2022-23, so fantasy managers should remain cautious until he turns things around.
