Rico Dowdle Now Questionable For Sunday Night

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle (illness) is questionable for Sunday night's matchup with the 49ers. He arrived to the stadium with an illness, which would explain his late addition to the injury report. The 26-year-old has only 246 yards off 59 carries, adding 16 catches for 131 yards and two touchdowns this season. While […]

Raheem Mostert Scores Twice In Loss To Cardinals

Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss had five carries for 11 yards in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. He added four catches for 28 yards. The 26-year-old began the 2024-25 campaign by finding the end zone in three of the team's first four contests. However, he's gone cold since then, with Chase Brown emerging as the […]

Chase Brown Finds The End Zone In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had 32 yards off 12 carries in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He added two catches for two yards. While Brown had trouble getting anything going on the ground, he at least found the end zone in Week 8, scoring off a four-yard run in the third quarter. Even […]

Khalil Herbert Scratched Ahead Of Week 8

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old has seen his role essentially disappear this season. He hasn't registered a touch since Week 3, logging only a few snaps during that span. Now, with Travis Homer active, Herbert is the odd man […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Not Playing Against Raiders

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He was activated from the non-football injury list earlier this month but has not played since then.

Panthers Head Into Week 8 Without Andy Dalton, Jonathon Brooks

The Carolina Panthers will not have quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) or running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Dalton is inactive after injuring his right thumb during a minor car accident earlier this week. His absence re-inserts Bryce Young into the Panthers starting lineup for Week 8. Meanwhile, Brooks is […]

Ezekiel Elliott - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is the RB58 in full-PPR on the season. He's taken a backseat to fellow RB Rico Dowdle and might be about to participate in a disgusting three-way commitee -- former Minnesota Vikings star RB Dalvin Cook is joining the fray, and was […]

Jacob Cowing - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5/WR6 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jacob Cowing could have fantasy value if a lot of things went right. If fellow WRs Deebo Samuel Sr. (wrist/illness) and Ricky Pearsall didn't start, he might be worth a start. Or if head coach and playcaller Kyle Shanahan liked using rookies more. But neither […]

Dalvin Cook - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB6/RB (insert bigger number here) ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys running back Dalvin Cook was elevated to the active roster for Sunday Night Football in Week 8. That's interesting news, but he should not be started in any leagues right now. He took first-team reps in practice, but will face a stout […]

Is Jerome Ford The Starting Running Back For The Browns When He Returns?

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (hamstring) will miss his second week in a row due to a hamstring ailment. He wasn't quite the fantasy asset he was in 2023, when he filled in for injured running back Nick Chubb after he went down with a season-ending knee injury. Ford was seen as a great […]

Is Jonathon Brooks The Starting Running Back For The Panthers When He Returns?

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) is inching closer and closer to his return (we swear he is, barring something extreme). As many know, he tore his ACL in November last year after a great season with the Texas Longhorns and was drafted in the second round of the NFL Draft by the blue […]

Romeo Doubs, Rashod Bateman, Chris Olave: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 8

Through seven weeks of the 2024 NFL campaign, we've seen plenty of unpredictable performances and enough injuries to drive any fantasy manager mad. It's important to keep in mind that despite how tumultuous the season has been so far, there is still more than enough time to right the ship. To do so, however, you'll […]

Bucky Irving Active For Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (toe) will suit up on Sunday afternoon when the Buccaneers face the Atlanta Falcons. Irving did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was able to return to a limited participation on Friday afternoon. Fantasy managers should expect the rookie to be deployed as the N2. 2 option […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Inactive Against Green Bay

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction Sunday morning. Etienne will ultimately miss his second consecutive game, creating yet another opportunity for Tank Bigsby to strengthen his hold on the […]

Tank Bigsby, Jalen McMillan, Darnell Mooney: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 8

Week 8 of the NFL season is upon us and it's time to make some crucial decisions about your starting lineup. With so many players dealing with injuries, there are plenty of fantasy gamers rolling with players they managed to add from the waiver wire. Tank Bigsby, Jalen McMillan, and Darnell Mooney were not drafted […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Ruled Out For Monday's Game

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the New York Giants. The veteran back has been limited in practice all week and now will miss his fourth straight game. His absence won't mean too much with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren both healthy heading […]

Is Isiah Pacheco The Starting Running Back For The Chiefs When He Returns?

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (fibula) fractured his leg in Week 2 of this season. He was put on injured reserve and underwent successful surgery to repair the issue, and has since been in rehab. It's a tough loss for the Chiefs, fantasy managers, and the RB himself. He was coming off a […]

Is Gus Edwards The Starting Running Back For The Chargers When He Returns?

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards (ankle) is currently on injured reserve after suffering an ankle injury after his Week 4 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He won't be eligible to return to the field until Week 10, when his team will take on the Tennessee Titans.  Not that that makes much of […]

Is JuJu Smith-Schuster A Starter For The Chiefs When He Returns?

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) looked like he would be a breakout fantasy start for exactly one game in 2024. In Week 5, he caught 7 passes on eight targets for 130 yards. The role of Chief Chain-Mover that was vacated by the fallen Rashee Rice (Patty Patomic-induced knee break) seemed to […]
