Zach Wilson Not A Fantasy Option In Week 8

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson remains off the fantasy radar for Week 8. The Jets face the New England Patriots in Week 8, which has not been a particularly difficult matchup for quarterbacks this season, but the way the Jets offense works is not conducive for fantasy points from the quarterback position. Even with […]

Russell Wilson Intends To Play Against Jaguars

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring), who was listed as being a limited participant in practice on Thursday for the second straight day, said he intends to play in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday morning.

Should I Pick Up Taylor Heinicke For Week 8 Fantasy Football? Waiver Wire Outlook

Just when you thought Taylor Heinicke’s fantasy value had dried up, he is a hot commodity on fantasy football league waiver wires once again. It is no surprise the oft-injured Carson Wentz fractured a finger and is out for a month or more. It is also no surprise that Heinicke, who proved he was a […]

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) was absent from practice on Wednesday. This missed practice now marks the third Wednesday in a row that Rodgers has been unavailable.

Ryan Tannehill Held Out Of Practice

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) was held out of practice on Wednesday after injuring his ankle in the Week 7 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Tannehill only missed one snap on Sunday but re-entered the game with his ankle heavily taped, so it's something to watch heading into Week 8's contest against the Houston […]

Derek Carr, Darren Waller Limited On Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (back) and tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Carr is dealing with what sounds to be a minor back injury, so as long as he doesn't suffer a setback later this week, he should be good to play in Week 8 against the […]

Tom Brady Looking To Bounce Back Against The Ravens

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will look to bounce back Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens after failing to throw a touchdown in the Week 7 loss to Carolina. The 45-year-old faces a Ravens defense that ranks 10th in pass DVOA. The Bucs' offense has struggled as of late, as Tampa Bay has scored […]

The Cut List – Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 8

Another week of NFL football, another edition of the Cut List. One of the biggest mistakes I see fantasy managers make is not making enough moves. Don't be afraid to be wrong.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Andy Dalton will make his fifth straight start in the Week 8 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to head coach Dennis Allen. Jameis Winston (ankle, back) hasn't played since Week 3 and entered the week still not 100 percent healthy, so the Saints won't rush him back. Dalton hasn't […]

Mac Jones Will Start Against Jets

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones took around 90 percent of the first-team repetitions in practice on Wednesday and will start in Week 8 against the New York Jets, according to a source.

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 8)

What more can be said about the continued lack of explosive offense in the NFL during the 2022 season? Scoring (real and fantasy) is down across the board as offenses struggle to find their footing this year. That is also true for offensive line units across the league. Just 10 teams had a combined PFF […]

Trade Compensation Won't Affect Decision On Carson Wentz

Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz (finger) joined the team via trade from the Indianapolis Colts. As part of the deal, there is a clause that if the 29-year-old plays on 70% or more of the offensive snaps, the compensation changes from a third-round pick to a second-round pick. He was playing 100% of the snaps […]

On Monday, the Indianapolis Colts announced that the team was benching quarterback Matt Ryan and would be replacing him with former Texas Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger.

Carolina Panthers quarterback P.J. Walker has started the last two games for the team since Baker Mayfield (ankle) has been out, and interim head coach Steve Wilks said Walker will remain the starter for Week 8 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Ravens vs. Buccaneers Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Tom Brady, Gus Edwards, Chris Godwin, Mark Andrews, Leonard Fournette, Rashod Bateman

Finally, we had touchdowns on a Thursday. I’m not sure who slipped sleeping pills to the entire Saints' defense, but they certainly couldn’t wake up. Thankfully this week, we have two offenses that should be near the top of the league in scoring. Let’s keep this ball rolling and hope to have another burner this […]

Lamar Jackson Hoping To Turn Things Around On Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson accounted for 12 total touchdowns in the first three weeks of the 2022-23 campaign. Yet, he's combined for only three in the last four games.
