Fantasy Football News & Latest NFL Updates

Falcons WR Drake London (hip) has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. He was originally added to the injury report on Friday and limited in practice, but he was given no game designation at that point. It looks like the hip issue did not improve or got worse today. We'll look for more info on London's status and get Atlanta's inactives around 11:30 am ET tomorrow.

Commanders WRs Terry McLaurin (quad) and Deebo Samuel (heel) are off the final injury report and will play vs. the Chiefs on Monday night. Both guys were full participants in practice all week, so they should be ready for full workloads. They'll be catching passes from QB Marcus Mariota, though, against Kansas City's sixth-ranked WR defense. That has McLaurin and Samuel sitting in WR3 territory in the Week 8 rankings.

Jets WR Josh Reynold (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. He was added to the injury report on Friday and originally listed as questionable. Reynolds was the best target bet in New York's Garrett Wilson-less WR corps. Now the Jets are down to WRs Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson, and Isaiah Williams. Avoid the situation in all fantasy formats. TE Mason Taylor is the favorite to lead the team in targets vs. Cincinnati -- if he's able to play through the quad injury that has him listed as questionable.

The Jets have downgraded QB Tyrod Taylor to out for Sunday's game against the Bengals. He won't even travel with the team. That means Justin Fields will start once again, whether HC Aaron Glenn is willing to say so or not.

The Baltimore Ravens have officially ruled QB Lamar Jackson out for the team's Week 8 game against the Chicago Bears. Jackson missed 2 games with a hamstring injury and had the bye week to recover. He returned to full practices but took the field with the scout team on Friday, which hinted at his status. Tyler Huntley will start for the Ravens on Sunday.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Falcons QB Kirk Cousins is "highly likely" to start Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Michael Penix Jr. is recovering from a bone bruise to his left knee. Penix practiced all week but in limited fashion, and Cousins got reps with the first team.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is "trending in the right direction" for Sunday's game vs. the Bears, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Jackson is still "considered internally a game-time decision," Fowler adds. But the team "feels a lot better about Lamar's chances after Friday's practice. He was throwing dimes on the field. There was a relief." We'll keep you updated on Jackson's status between now and kickoff, but we continue to expect him to play vs. Chicago.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. He was limited in all three practices for the second straight week. We’ll see if Purdy can make it back for Week 9’s game against the Giants. QB Mac Jones makes his sixth start of the season in a tough test against Houston’s top-ranked QB defense. That knocks Jones out of consideration in 1-QB fantasy leagues.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. He remained sidelined in practice all week and has no timetable for return. Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne will again operate as San Francisco’s lead WRs this week.

Texans WRs Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) are out for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. Neither guy practiced all week. Collins should have a good chance to make it back for Week 9, but Kirk could miss more time. Their absences this week leave Houston with WRs Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel, Xavier Hutchinson, and Braxtos Berrios. Higgins and Noel land in WR4 territory in the Week 8 rankings.

Packers WR Matthew Golden (hip) was added to the injury report on Friday, limited in practice, and listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Steelers. We’ll look for more info on his status, but the late kickoff could leave fantasy owners in a tough spot. WR Christian Watson (knee) is also listed as questionable. He has a chance to make his 2025 debut in this one but shouldn’t be in Week 8 fantasy lineups. WR Dontayvion Wicks (calf) has been ruled out.

Packers K Brandon McManus (quad) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Steelers. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Lucas Havrisik will kick again for Green Bay if McManus can’t. With the late kickoff, you’re best off avoiding this situation in Week 8 fantasy lineups.

Colts WR Josh Downs (concussion) practiced all week and is off the final injury report. He’ll be back in his usual No. 3 WR, slot role for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. The Colts are 14.5-point favorites with a 31-point implied total in that one. That gives Downs elevated TD upside, but we’re unlikely to get big volume.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (hamstring/rest) is off the final injury report. He was added on Thursday and limited in practice but put in a full workout on Friday. Waddle should be ready for his usual role in this weekend’s game vs. the Falcons.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (oblique) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Panthers. He was limited in practice all week – after missing Week 6 and getting a Week 7 bye. We’ll look for further updates on Kincaid and get Buffalo’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. If he plays, he has an excellent matchup against Carolina’s 25th-ranked TE defense. Kincaid's absence would turn TE Dawson Knox into a low-level spot starter.

Jets WR Josh Reynold (hip) popped up on the injury report on Friday and is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bengals. He wasn’t on the injury report on Wednesday or Thursday but then missed Friday’s practice. We’ll look for further updates on Reynolds, who was slated to operate as New York’s No. 1 WR with Garrett Wilson out. Reynolds’ absence would leave the Jets down to WRs Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson, Allen Lazard, and Isaiah Williams.

Jets TE Mason Taylor (quad) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bengals. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. We’ll look for further updates on Taylor and get New York’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Giants. This one came out of nowhere after Brown finished last week’s game – although he does have a lengthy history of hamstring trouble. The Eagles have a Week 9 bye, which might have played a part in the decision to sit Brown this week. His absence is a hit to QB Jalen Hurts’ fantasy outlook and should mean even more concentrated targets on WR DeVonta Smith and TE Dallas Goedert.

Jets QB Tyrod Taylor (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. New York is reportedly hoping to start Taylor if his knee checks out, although HC Aaron Glenn hasn’t revealed his plans all week. Keep an eye on Shark Bites for updates on the situation. Taylor would only be in play in 2-QB and superflex leagues if he starts.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bengals. He played through this injury last week and practiced all this week, including a full workout on Friday. Hall should be ready for his usual role on Sunday, but we’ll get New York’s inactives around 11:30 am ET. RB Isaiah Davis is the RB to stash in case Hall ends up out.
