Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy was given Friday off with soreness in his ankle after practicing the previous 3 days. HC Vic Fangio still expects Jeudy to play vs. Washington on Sunday, but it's a situation worth monitoring. Jeudy will be a risk/reward fantasy play if he ends up active.
Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (quad) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Titans. He put in a full practice on Friday, though, so expect him to play. It’s good news for QB Carson Wentz, but Hilton is just a fantasy flier until we see him make it through at least 1 game healthy.
Bengals RB Chris Evans (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Jets. Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine will handle all of Cincinnati's backfield work.
Steelers TE Eric Ebron is out for this weekend’s game against the Browns after injuring his hamstring in Thursday’s practice. Ebron had already fallen behind TE Pat Freiermuth on the target totem pole. But Ebron’s absence is a slight boost to Freiermuth’s Week 8 outlook.
Browns WR Jarvis Landry (knee) is not listed on the final injury report. He only got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday but is evidently in no danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Steelers. Landry is a low-end WR3 for that one. WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (groin) has been ruled out.
Browns RB Nick Chubb (calf) is not listed on the final Week 8 injury report. He was a full-go in Friday's practice and will return for this weekend's game vs. the Steelers. Chubb will at least step back into his pre-injury role -- and it's plenty possible that he takes on even more with RB Kareem Hunt out with his calf injury.
Browns WR Odell Beckham (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. He was limited in practice all week. We’re expecting Beckham to play, but he’s a shaky fantasy option with both he and his QB dealing with shoulder injuries.
Titans WR Julio Jones (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Colts. It's unclear if he suffered a setback or if Tennessee has just decided to get that nagging hamstring injury some rest. Regardless, WR A.J. Brown should dominate targets this weekend.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray "should be fine" after hurting his left ankle in Thursday night's loss to the Packers and is expected to be available for Week 9's game vs. the 49ers, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. We'll keep an eye on Murray when Arizona gets back to work next week.
Panthers WR Terrace Marshall (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game against the Falcons. WR Keith Kirkwood replaced Marshall last week but obviously isn’t a fantasy option.
Packers TE Robert Tonyan tore his left ACL in Thursday night's win over the Cardinals, his agent announced Friday. Tonyan will miss the rest of the season but has a good shot to be ready for the start of the 2022 campaign. His absence leaves the Packers with TEs Marcedes Lewis and Josiah Deguara. We'll monitor that situation, but neither guy is worth adding to fantasy rosters right now.
Browns QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) will start this weekend's game vs. the Steelers, HC Kevin Stefanski announced Friday. Mayfield will be playing through what's been reported as a fractured humerus bone and torn labrum in his left shoulder. He's at risk of an in-game aggravation, making him an extremely shaky Week 8 fantasy play.
Washington WRs Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) are out for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. WR Cam Sims (hamstring) is listed as questionable. Terry McLaurin, of course, is the only Washington WR that should be in fantasy lineups.
Bucs WR Antonio Brown (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Saints. HC Bruce Arians suggested earlier this week that Brown isn't a lock to be ready after the Week 9 bye. His absence is good news for WRs Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. Tyler Johnson will operate as the #3 WR but would be a fantasy flier.
Texans QB Davis Mills will get another start against the Rams on Sunday. QB Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) returned to practice this week but will miss at least 1 more game. "We just don't feel Tyrod is ready right now," HC David Culley said Friday. Taylor figures to return for Week 9.
Jets RB Tevin Coleman (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. That'll again leave the backfield to RBs Michael Carter and Ty Johnson. With Coleman out last week, Carter handled 11 carries and 9 targets; Johnson 5 carries and 7 targets. Carter is a volume-based RB3 or flex play in Week 8.
Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy said QB Dak Prescott (calf) was sore on Friday after ramping up his work in Thursday's practice. McCarthy was non-committal on Prescott's status for Sunday night's game vs. the Vikings. Owner Jerry Jones remains optimistic. "I’d like to think Dak can go and will think that," Jones said. "We’ll see how things work at practice, but I’d say things are looking good right now about Dak.” Prescott seems 50/50 to play at this point. QB Cooper Rush will make his 1st career start on Sunday night if Prescott is out.
Jets WR Corey Davis suffered a hip injury in Thursday's practice. HC Robert Saleh admitted Friday morning that it's "not looking good" for Davis to play vs. the Bengals this weekend. Saleh suggested that WR Denzel Mims will step into Davis' role -- but he can't be trusted in fantasy lineups with QB Mike White under center.
The Eagles are placing RB Miles Sanders on IR for the ankle injury he suffered against the Raiders. That will leave the Philly backfield to Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott for at least the next 3 games. RB Jordan Howard appears likely to be elevated from the practice squad as well. We'd bet on Gainwell leading the group in fantasy scoring, but don't overrate the opportunity available. Gainwell trailed Scott in carries against Vegas, and the Eagles rank last in the league in RB rushes per game.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray appeared to injure his left ankle late in Thursday night's loss to the Packers. He was able to stay in for the final 2 plays -- a handoff and a game-ending INT -- but was limping around afterward. We'll look for updates on his status. Murray gets 10 days to heal up before Week 9's game vs. the 49ers.
