Alexander Mattison (RB, LV) - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit if you can POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison is an inefficient running back (3.62 yards per carry) on a losing team (2-5) with a depleted roster -- starting QB Aidan O'Connell (thumb) is on injured reserve, WR1 Davante Adams left for the New York Jets, and […]

Rico Dowdle - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: While he didn't have his best game in the Week 6 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions, Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle has had some incredibly encouraging things going for him in recent weeks. For one, fellow RB Ezekiel Elliott has looked completely washed, […]

NFL DFS: FanDuel Daily Fantasy Football Picks for Week 8 - Top Lineup Plays Include Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins, Travis Kelce, Jordan Love

It was a rough Week 7 for some teams around the National Football League. However, it may have been worse for the 49ers, with the team losing Brandon Aiyuk for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign. The Commanders also saw Jayden Daniels go down with a rib injury. Fortunately for Washington, the rookie may not […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Limited Again Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) logged his second consecutive limited practice on Thursday. The 25-year-old picked up the injury during Week 6 in London and hasn't been able to play since then. Although it sounds like he has a real chance to play this Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, Etienne is […]

Christian Darrisaw Injures Knee Against Rams

Minnesota Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee) was injured late in the second half of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams and subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The 25-year-old had previously been a beacon of availability, playing 100 percent of snaps in five of his six games this season. If […]

Tyjae Spears Remains Limited On Thursday

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. The organization is hopeful that Spears can get back on the field this week after sitting out in Week 7. If healthy, Spears figures to continue being the primary backup to Tony Pollard. Spears has struggled with only one game […]

Kenneth Walker III Back At Practice On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (illness) returned to practice on Thursday in a limited showing after being listed as a DNP on Wednesday with an illness that cropped up last weekend. Walker was listed as questionable in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons but played and saw 14 carries for 69 yards and […]

Jordan Mason Stays Limited On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason (shoulder) put in a second straight limited practice this week on Thursday. Mason suffered an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder in Week 6 but was active for the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, handling 14 carries for 58 yards while catching both his […]

Bucky Irving Trending Well

The Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud reports that although Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving (toe) missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday, he's trending well. The next two days will be crucial for Irving when it comes to his status for the Week 8 divisional game against the […]

Josh Downs - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is a great pass-catcher. We could rave about his route-running prowess, short-area quickness and dominance from the slot, but we're recommending you sit him, so we won't. This is because his current starting quarterback, Anthony Richardson, has played terribly in 2024. I […]

Tank Dell - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell has been one of the worst players to own in fantasy football this year. Players who were drafted highly in fantasy drafts but put up dud after dud can sink teams -- their past production keeps making you think you should start […]

Alvin Kamara Stays Limited On Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hand, rib) put in a second straight day with a limited practice this week on Thursday. Kamara is battling through both a broken hand and broken ribs, but he remarkably hasn't missed any time in 2024. He's the RB2 in half-PPR scoring heading into Week 8, although he […]

Tyler Lockett - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett will face a very tough assignment in Week 8 when he takes on the Buffalo Bills. They're one of the best defenses in the league against outside receivers, and if fellow WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba primarily plays out […]

Kareem Hunt Practicing In Full

After a limited practice session on Wednesday to start the week, Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt (hip) was a full-go in Thursday's practice. Hunt's return to a full practice should assure that he'll be active this Sunday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium unless he suffers a setback on Friday. […]

Is Tyreek Hill Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 8

The fantasy managers who drafted Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (foot) have been through enough this season. He's inconceivably the WR44 on the year -- the injury to his starting quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, has absolutely cratered his fantasy scoring ability. He incomprehensibly now has five games with single-digit PPR fantasy points, and many of […]

David Njoku - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: It's a whole new offense in Cleveland. With Deshaun Watson out for the season with an Achilles injury, Jameis Winston is the starting quarterback. There will be a new voice in his helmet, as well. Offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey takes over playcalling duties from head […]

Jerome Ford Remains Out During Thursday's Practice

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (hamstring) did not practice again on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Ford was unable to suit up last week due to this hamstring injury. Fantasy managers should monitor his status during Friday's practice. However, he will likely carry an injury designation into the weekend given that he has […]

Christian Kirk - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Evan Engram returned to the Jaguars' lineup, improving the offense. It came at the cost of Christian Kirk's production. Engram has been involved in the Jacksonville game plan for four weeks (he injured his hamstring […]

All other Premium Tools and Content can be accessed on the premium dashboard. This piece looks at the top running backs or wide receivers to build your cash or tournament lineups around. Most weeks, I will recommend two running backs and two wide receivers who you can use as building blocks, but occasionally, a tight […]

Jonathan Taylor Logs Full Practice On Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) returned to full participation during Thursday's practice. This is a great sign for his potential status for this Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. The star running back has been sidelined since suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 4. Fantasy managers should pay close attention his status […]

Jonathon Brooks Limited Again On Thursday

Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant for the second straight day this week. Brooks is making progress from a torn ACL that he suffered late last year while in college, but he's not guaranteed to be activated from the Non-Football Injury list to make his NFL […]

Jakobi Meyers - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: You're really hoping for garbage time in this one. Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) lost his starting quarterback Aidan O'Connell (thumb) to injured reserve last week. He was replaced by Gardner Minshew II, who proceeded to turn the ball over four times. 📸: @raiders pic.twitter.com/FPJmjYGcWg — Jakobi […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Suits Up For Thursday's Practice

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) is back on the practice field on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. The team listed him with a foot/not-injury-related designation on Wednesday, so he was likely held out as a precaution. Stevenson missed the Week 6 outing against the Houston Texans before returning to play against the […]
