The Saints have ruled CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) out for the 3rd straight game. CB Paulson Adebo (knee) is questionable after missing last Thursday's loss to the Cardinals. DT David Onyemata (illness) is also questionable after sitting out Friday's practice.
Raiders S Johnathan Abram (illness) and LB Divine Deablo (back, ankle) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints. Abram put in limited practices Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday. Deablo managed only a limited Friday and doesn't look like a great bet for fantasy football lineups. Denzel Perryman would likely lead LB playing time for the Raiders if Deablo can't go. LB Jason Brown is also ready to return after missing last week with a hamstring injury.
Titans DT Jeffery Simmons (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans. He missed practice all week and has moved down our Week 8 IDP rankings. We'll check his status Sunday (barring a change before then). Tennessee ruled EDGE Rashad Weaver (back) out for the game. LB David Long (groin), on the other hand, is off the final injury report. He put in a full Friday practice after limited workouts the previous 2 days.
Texans DL Rasheem Green (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. He popped up on the injury report Friday after a limited practice. We'll check his status Sunday.
Dolphins lead CB Xavien Howard (groin) and EDGE Emmanuel Ogbah (back) are questionable for Sunday's game in Detroit. Howard played through his injury for 100% of defensive snaps last Sunday night. Ogbah missed that game but finished the practice week with a full workout. We'll check both players' statuses Sunday morning.
The Lions have ruled S DeShon Elliott (finger), EDGE Charles Harris (groin) and CB Mike Hughes (knee) out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Broncos LB Josey Jewell is off the final injury report for Week 8. He missed the past 2 games after leaving Week 5 early with a knee injury. Jewell remained limited the 1st 2 practices this week but put in a full Friday and carries no game designation. He's fine as a low-LB2 or LB3 for fantasy football use this week and has moved up our Week 8 IDP rankings. LB Alex Singleton does not belong in IDP lineups with Jewell back. Denver also ruled EDGE Baron Browning (hip) out vs. the Jaguars.
Cowboys LB Micah Parsons (shoulder) and S Malik Hooker (hamstring) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears. HC Mike McCarthy said Friday he doesn't have "high concern" that Parsons will miss the game, so we should be good to use him in a high-upside sack matchup. Hooker didn't practice all week and shouldn't be in IDP lineups even if he's active.
Panthers LB Frankie Luvu (shoulder) and CB Jaycee Horn (ribs) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Horn's status is not surprising after he missed the past 2 games. A full Friday practice for him makes him appear likely to return, but he's a low-level IDP option against an Atlanta offense allergic to passing. Luvu entered last week's game questionable and played a season-low 68% of the snaps. He practiced every day this week, sandwiching a full Thursday workout between 2 limited days. Luvu will carry some risk for IDP lineups if he plays this week. He's sitting in low-RB3 territory in our Week 8 IDP rankings.
The Falcons have ruled CB A.J. Terrell (hamstring) and S Jaylinn Hawkins (concussion) out for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Already down CB Casey Hayward, the Atlanta secondary presents an even friendlier matchup to Carolina QB P.J. Walker and WR D.J. Moore.
Colts CB Kenny Moore is questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders after being added to Friday's injury report with a finger issue. We'll check his status Sunday. The team ruled EDGE Kwity Paye (ankle) out for the game.
Colts LB Shaquille Leonard will play Sunday against the Commanders, though he's not yet going full time. "He’s ahead of schedule, but not quite there yet so he will be on a pitch count," HC Frank Reich told the Indianapolis Star. "We feel he is the best defensive player in the league. Our goal is to get him out there for 100 percent of the snaps as soon as we can, but we’re just not quite there yet." Leonard is coming off surgery for a broken nose, as well as a concussion. That followed a slow start to the year coming off June back surgery. It's tough to know just how many snaps Leonard will play, but we've boosted Zaire Franklin to full playing time and moved him way up the Week 8 IDP rankings. He played 100% in the 1 game that has included Leonard so far this year (Week 4).
NFL Network's Mike Giardi reports that Patriots QB Mac Jones is dealing with numbness in the toes on his left foot as he continues to recover from his high-ankle sprain. It didn't impact Jones' on-field prep for the Jets this week, per Giardi, but it's safe to say that Jones still isn't at 100%. He shouldn't be in Week 8 fantasy lineups.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. He leaves behind 7.7 targets per game, which should mostly be absorbed by WR Brandon Aiyuk, TE George Kittle and RB Christian McCaffrey. San Francisco could also lean on the running game more with Samuel out. WR Jauan Jennings (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.
The Bengals will not be placing WR Ja'Marr Chase on IR with his hip injury, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Schultz reports that Chase is dealing with a hairline hip fracture and torn labrum. He doesn't give a timetable for Chase's return, but no IR would mean the Bengals expect him back before Week 13. Chase is worth keeping stashed in all fantasy leagues.
Cardinals K Matt Prater (hip) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings. We’ll see if he can make it back for that one after missing the past 3 weeks, but we’d look elsewhere for Week 8 fantasy lineups.
Texans WR Brandin Cooks (wrist) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Titans. He was added to the injury report on Friday but put in a full practice. We'll look for further updates on Cooks' status, but he can stay penciled into Week 8 fantasy lineups for now.
The Texans list WR Nico Collins (groin) as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. He didn’t practice all week, though, and is not expected to play. That’ll leave Phillip Dorsett and Chris Moore as Houston’s #2 and #3 WRs – and should mean more targets for WR Brandin Cooks.
Giants TE Daniel Bellinger (eye) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. The rookie is expected to miss multiple weeks after undergoing surgery this week to repair a fractured eye socket and septum. New York is down to Chris Myarick and Tanner Hudson at TE.
Steelers K Chris Boswell (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Friday. With Pittsburgh sporting a 16.5-point implied total, Boswell should not be in your Week 8 fantasy plans.
