Tyler Allgeier A Strong Handcuff But Low-End Flex Option In Week 8

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier tallied just six touches in Week 7 compared to Bijan Robinson's 24, returning to his clear backup role after leading the backfield in touches the week before. Despite averaging 5.7 yards per rush, which is top five among qualified running backs and better than Robinson's 4.7 YPR, Allgeier does […]

Fantasy Football Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 8 Including Stefon Diggs, Terry McLaurin, Kyler Murray, DeVonta Smith

Week 7 was a strange one. Multiple players went down with season-ending injuries and others simply did not show up. There were likely many fantasy lineups out there that failed to crack 50 points.

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

After two weeks of great fantasy production, Week 7 was a regression to how the season started. Plenty of teams also suffered brutal injuries to key players. Thankfully, those effects weren’t felt along the offensive line despite the number of teams that entered the week missing starters. Through seven weeks, we have a strong enough […]

Tank Bigsby High Upside Play Once Again In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby may have the opportunity to dominate touches again in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers defense has been great against the pass, but somewhat weak against the run, meaning as long as Travis Etienne Jr. (a game-time decision with a hamstring injury) misses out again, Bigsby […]

Dalvin Cook Ready To Play, Could Suit Up In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys running back Dalvin Cook is "ready" and "in position" to play, head coach Mike McCarthy told the media. Executive vice president Stephen Jones also noted that coaches "have been talking to us about how it's about time for him to get his opportunity" as Cook continues to impress in his role on the […]

Jordan Mason Cleared To Play In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason (shoulder) practiced in a full capacity on Friday. He has been removed from the final injury report and will play against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8.

Alexander Mattison May Have Lead Back Role In Tough Week 8 Matchup

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison will take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. He had to compete with fellow RB Zamir White for touches, but took the lion's share of the backfield work. The former Viking rushed 23 times for 92 yards and caught three passes for 31 yards in the […]

D'Andre Swift Set For Big Game Against Commanders

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is a solid borderline RB2 for Sunday's matchup against the Washington Commanders, which offers a favorable matchup for him. Before the Bears' bye week, Swift was on a roll, rushing for at least 70 yards in his last three games. Facing an average Washington run defense, he should be […]

Kendre Miller Just A Bench Stash

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller ended up as the team's leading rusher in Week 7, taking six carries for 36 yards. Featured back Alvin Kamara (hand, ribs) is nursing injuries that may finally be impacting his productivity (2.5 YPC in the last three weeks) which might open the door for Miller to see […]

Alvin Kamara Good To Go For Week 8

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hand, ribs) was limited in practice all week but carries no designation for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Kamara revealed earlier this week that he broke his hand in Week 5 against the Chiefs and has been playing through the pain ever since. That may explain […]

Kareem Hunt Should Be Busy In Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. Hunt has been the undisputed leader of the backfield since his first game back in Kansas City, and that should continue to be the case until the eventual return of Isiah Pacheco. The Raiders ranked 25th in fantasy […]

Chuba Hubbard Looks To Remain Consistent Against Denver

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard aims to remain the team's lone offensive constant as they head to Denver in Week 8. While not a high bar, Hubbard has undoubtedly been the Panthers' MVP through seven games, accounting for 33% of their total touchdowns. Last week, he posted his lowest yardage total since Week 1—52 […]

Austin Ekeler Poised For Bounce Back Performance

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler should be poised for a bounce back performance in Week 8 after having his worst game of the campaign last weekend. Facing the Carolina Panthers, the Commanders had a sizeable lead all afternoon and did not need to deploy their primary pass-catching back too often. Ekeler totaled a season-low […]

Brian Robinson Jr. To See Heavy Workload In Week 8

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. should be viewed as a solid RB2 facing the Chicago Bears, as he could see an increased workload. With rookie QB Jayden Daniels (ribs) being a game-time decision, the Alabama product could be relieved heavily with Marcus Mariota under center. Even though Robinson was sidelined in Week 6 […]

Jonathon Brooks' Debut In Question

When asked by the media about rookie running back Jonathon Brooks (knee), Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales did not provide the most jovial of outlooks. Specifically, Canales was asked if it was possible for Brooks not to play this year. "It could be," said the first-year head coach, "but again, we're just going to […]

Keep Zack Moss Sitting Versus The Eagles

Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss ran for just seven yards off six carries in the Week 7 win over the Browns. The 26-year-old found the end zone in three of the Bengals' first four games in 2024-25. However, he's gone cold since then, with Chase Brown emerging as the lead back in Cincinnati. While […]
