  Chargers | Ladd McConkey set to play Sunday vs. Rams    Fri Oct 30, 04:36 PM

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey is set to play in Sunday's Week 8 game at the Rams. McConkey had been in the concussion protocol this week but was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.

Footballguys view: McConkey looked great for about the first quarter of Week 1 before suffering a rib injury. Other injuries have piled up since, and McConkey's season has been mostly lost. The Chargers can hopefully figure things out coming out of last week's bye. Until they can show that, though, McConkey is a risky RB3.

  Chargers | Tre' Harris off injury report, set to play vs. Rams    Fri Oct 30, 04:35 PM

Chargers WR Tre' Harris (hamstring) is off the injury report and set to play in Sunday's Week 8 game at the Rams. Harris was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.

Footballguys view: Coming off the bye, the hope is that the winless Chargers made some changes to get the offense back on track. You can't trust Harris in lineups, but he's worth a stash in extremely deep leagues.

  Raiders | Brock Bowers off injury report, set to play Sunday against Jets    Fri Oct 30, 04:20 PM

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (calf) is off the injury report and does not carry a game designation for Sunday's game against the Jets. Bowers had been limited in Wednesday's practice with the calf injury. TE Ian Thomas (shoulder) is also off the injury report.

Footballguys view: Another week, another injury for Bowers. After missing the first two games of the season due to unexpected knee surgery, Bowers has been on and off most injury reports since. He's played admirably this season and leads all tight ends in fantasy points per game. He's a no-brainer TE1 any time he's active.

  Commanders | Treylon Burks listed as questionable for Sunday night vs. Eagles    Fri Oct 30, 04:06 PM

Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) is questionable for Sunday night's Week 8 game against the Eagles. He is one of four Commanders players listed as questionable, a group that also includes Payne. Burks did not practice on Thursday.

Footballguys view: With Terry McLaurin out for the year, the WR2 spot is up for grabs. Stefon Diggs should be the team's primary guy, while Burks, rookie Antonio Williams, and tight end Chig Okonkwo all look to carve out a role. Burks is a former first-round pick who has struggled to stay healthy between exciting feats of athleticism. He's worth a stash in deep leagues, but fantasy managers have understandably lost patience with Burks over the years.

  Jaguars | Jakobi Meyers questionable after missing Friday practice    Fri Oct 30, 04:04 PM

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (hamstring/ankle) did not practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Colts. Meyers told the Florida Times-Union's Demetrius Harvey after practice that he "felt okay." He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday with only a hamstring issue before the ankle was added on Friday. Rain and a wet field are in the forecast for Sunday.

  Jaguars | Brenton Strange carries no game status for Week 8    Fri Oct 30, 04:00 PM

Jaguars TE Brenton Strange (eye) was listed without a game status on Friday's final injury report, meaning he is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Footballguys view: Strange practiced fully all week and can be started as a TE1 this week against the Colts.

  Broncos | RJ Harvey not present at Friday's practice    Fri Oct 30, 03:59 PM

Broncos RB RJ Harvey (knee) was not present at practice on Friday. Harvey popped up on the injury report as limited on Thursday, when he was seen for only a portion of the practice viewing period. Friday's injury report, with game designations for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, is due out Friday afternoon.

Footballguys view: FP to LP to DNP isn't a good progression for any player in a week of practice, and Harvey's availability for Sunday is now officially in doubt. The Broncos play in the afternoon slate, so fantasy managers will have to plan accordingly. The best-case scenario is having J.K. Dobbins or Jonah Coleman as a pivot, as both would benefit from a Harvey absence. But you should pick up any other player in the late slate or primetime games. We'll hope for an update on Harvey after Friday's practice.

  Eagles | Dontayvion Wicks ruled out again for Sunday night    Fri Oct 30, 03:54 PM

Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday night's Week 8 game against the Commanders. Wicks also missed last Monday's game against the Cowboys with the ankle injury. WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is also out for Sunday.

Footballguys view: Wicks will miss his second straight game, as will DeVonta Smith. Expect Makai Lemon to be the team's top receiver, and he's a solid WR3 against the Commanders.

  Eagles | DeVonta Smith ruled out again for Sunday night    Fri Oct 30, 03:51 PM

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is out again for Sunday night's game against the Commanders. Smith did not practice Wednesday and remained sidelined at Thursday's and Friday's practices.

Footballguys view: Smith missed Weeks 4 and 5 with a hamstring injury, played through it in Week 6, and will miss at least the next two games. The team is downplaying the severity, and he hasn't been placed on IR, which is a promising sign. Still, being declared out on a Friday after a full week of DNPs isn't reassuring. He'll hope to return to practice next week. Makai Lemon had the best game of his young career last week and should serve as the team's top option again on Sunday night against the Commanders.

  Eagles | Saquon Barkley off injury report, 'good to go' Sunday night at Washington    Fri Oct 30, 03:51 PM

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday night's game against the Commanders. Earlier in the week Barkley had been tracking to miss the game, with no sign of him at Thursday's practice, before he was spotted at practice on Friday.

Footballguys view: This is a bit of a surprise, since Barkley missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. The Eagles were down to Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue after Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, and Dameon Pierce all landed on IR. Barkley is expected to get the bulk of the work, and it remains to be seen whether and how the team will monitor his workload. He's a risky back-end RB2 this week.

  Chiefs | Travis Kelce off injury report, set to play Sunday    Fri Oct 30, 03:44 PM

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) is off the injury report and set to play Sunday against the Broncos.

Footballguys view: There was a bit of a scare when Kelce was downgraded to a limited participant at yesterday's practice, but he returned today and was removed from the final injury report. Start him this week as a middling TE1.

  Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes off injury report, set to play Sunday    Fri Oct 30, 03:44 PM

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) is off the injury report and set to play Sunday against the Broncos.

Footballguys view: Mahomes has been on the injury report every week this year since last year's season-ending ACL tear, but it hasn't impacted his ability to practice or play. Despite two down games, he's a high-end QB2 this week, with Rashee Rice expected back in the fold.

  Titans | Tyjae Spears ruled out for Sunday at Bengals    Fri Oct 30, 03:43 PM

Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Bengals. Spears did not practice Wednesday or Thursday this week.

Footballguys view: Spears will miss his second straight game with this knee injury. Tony Pollard scored three touchdowns as the team's workhorse last week, while Michael Carter played as the team's RB2. Expect similar usage this week, though the matchup against the Bengals could be tougher than last week's against the Browns.

  Titans | Carnell Tate ruled out for Sunday at Bengals    Fri Oct 30, 03:43 PM

Titans rookie WR Carnell Tate (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Bengals. Tate did not practice Wednesday or Thursday this week.

Footballguys view: Tate missed practice all week, so it's no surprise that he won't be good to go in this one. Wan'Dale Robinson should be the team's top option, working primarily underneath. Elic Ayomanor should see some extra work out wide, but he'll draw tough coverage from DJ Turner. Tony Pollard is a decent volume-based play this week, but there's not much else to trust in the Titans' offense.

  Bears | Colston Loveland added to injury report, limited with neck injury    Fri Oct 30, 03:41 PM

Bears TE Colston Loveland was added to the injury report after Thursday's practice and was listed as limited with a neck injury. Chicago plays at Seattle on Monday night.

Footballguys view: Loveland and the Bears will have another practice tomorrow that will hopefully help us get a better understanding of this new injury. The Bears are already down Cole Kmet, who suffered a season-ending knee injury last week. Behind Loveland is rookie Sam Roush, who has struggled to get up to NFL speed so far. Check back in after tomorrow's practice for an update on Loveland.

  Lions | Amon-Ra St. Brown off injury report, 'good to go' for Week 8    Fri Oct 30, 03:33 PM

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Vikings. St. Brown was a full participant in practice Thursday.

Footballguys view: St. Brown was one of a handful of vets who missed Wednesday's practice, but he'll play Sunday against the Vikings after practicing on Thursday and Friday. He's a plug-and-play WR1.

  Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs off injury report, 'good to go' for Week 8    Fri Oct 30, 03:33 PM

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs (shoulder) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Vikings. Gibbs did not practice Wednesday before returning to practice Thursday.

Footballguys view: Wednesday seemed to be a light practice, as quite a few veterans were off. Gibbs has logged back-to-back practices since then and can be relied on as an elite RB1 against the Vikings this week.

  Lions | Kerby Joseph eased back into practice, 'real practice' planned for next week    Fri Oct 30, 03:27 PM

Lions S Kerby Joseph returned to practice this week after the team opened his 21-day window to return from the PUP list; he has not played since Week 6 last season because of a knee injury. Joseph has done mostly individual and side work, taking part in practice on Wednesday and Thursday before working off to the side on Friday. "We haven't taken any team reps. It's all been individual in group, but he's handled that well," head coach Dan Campbell said on Friday. "And then next week we'll have him in real practice. That'll be the plan."

  Bears | Kyle Monangai does not practice again Friday    Fri Oct 30, 03:25 PM

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe, thumb) did not participate in practice on Friday. Monangai was not practicing Wednesday, when he was on a bike in the weight room, and was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated report. The Bears play at the Seahawks on Monday night.

Footballguys view: With the Bears playing Monday night, fantasy managers should probably just prepare for the worst. Monangai hasn't played since Week 4, when he handled 31 touches. The injury he suffered in that game, turf toe, is notorious for lingering and flaring up. With a Week 10 bye, don't be surprised if Monangai sits the next two weeks and returns in Week 11 after the bye. D'Andre Swift is an RB1 with Monangai out, even with a touch matchup in Seattle this week. Roschon Johnson should get some relief work, and he's in the desperation flex range.

  Jaguars | Jakobi Meyers questionable, says he 'felt okay' despite missing practice    Fri Oct 30, 03:24 PM

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (hamstring/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. Meyers did not practice on Friday but told the beat writer in the locker room on Friday that he felt okay. He was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Footballguys view: Meyers is a tough veteran, no stranger to playing through injuries. He was limited all week and didn't practice Friday, but you can't really apply typical trends to Meyers' outlook. If he tells the media he feels okay, he'll probably play. Sunday inactives publish at 11:30 am E.T. Check back in before kickoff to see if Meyers is active. If so, he's a viable WR3. If not, expect rookie Josh Cameron to see some extra snaps.

  Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield off injury report, set to play vs. Falcons    Fri Oct 30, 02:36 PM

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (right thumb) is off the injury report and is set to play in Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Footballguys view: No surprise, since Mayfield played through this injury last week. He shed his protective glove at Friday's practice, showing that he may be ready to play without it.

  Rams | Colby Parkinson questionable for Sunday vs. Chargers    Fri Oct 30, 02:31 PM

Rams TE Colby Parkinson (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers. Parkinson missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday after getting hurt in the third quarter of last Sunday's win over the Raiders.

Footballguys view: If active, Parkinson will be a pass-catcher alongside Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen. At least one touchdown will probably go to one of them, but good luck guessing which one. If Parkinson is active, he's a touchdown-dependent streamer.

  Rams | Jordan Whittington questionable after back tightened up following Thursday practice    Fri Oct 30, 02:31 PM

Rams WR Jordan Whittington is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers. Whittington's back tightened up after Thursday's practice.

Footballguys view: Injuries have been common for the Rams this year, and Whittington already missed one game earlier this year due to an unrelated injury. There was hope that his role would grow after Davante Adams suffered a ruptured hamstring, but Whittington hasn't played more than 21% of the offensive snaps since Week 4. He's firmly benchable in all formats until we see a drastic change in usage.

  Buccaneers | Kenny Gainwell listed as questionable for Week 8    Fri Oct 30, 02:09 PM

Buccaneers RB Kenny Gainwell (hip) was listed as questionable on Friday for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Falcons. Gainwell was back at practice on Thursday after his hip kept him out on Wednesday.

Footballguys view: Gainwell exited last week's game with a hip injury but returned late in a blowout win. That injury kept him out of Wednesday's practice and has limited him since. Even if Gainwell is active, Bucky Irving has started to pull away with the backfield. Gainwell and Sean Tucker have some utility for desperate managers, with the former being the preferred guy in PPR leagues, but both backs would likely need an Irving injury to be preferred starters.

  Chiefs | Rashee Rice 'will be up' Sunday against the Broncos    Fri Oct 30, 02:09 PM

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring) will be active for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Broncos, Sam McDowell reported on Friday. Rice was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday in his return to the field.

Footballguys view: Rice strung together back-to-back games with 80-plus yards before exiting Week 4's game with a hamstring injury. He returned to practice this week and should be good to go on Sunday against the Broncos. The Chiefs' passing offense has sputtered the last couple of weeks, and Rice should resume his role as the team's primary target. He's a WR2 this week and has extra value in PPR leagues.

  Cardinals | Budda Baker on trade speculation: 'I just live in the present'    Fri Oct 30, 02:09 PM

Cardinals S Budda Baker said on Friday that he is not concerned with speculation that he could be a trade candidate ahead of the November 10 trade deadline. "I just live in the present, like today having a great time with (the media), and going to have a great Friday practice," Baker said. "I'm going to just focus on playing the Dallas Cowboys at their stadium." Baker told ESPN he had not asked for a trade but had not asked not to be traded either; he is under contract through 2027 and already has a career-best 3.5 sacks this season.

  Bills | Dalton Kincaid listed as questionable for Sunday    Fri Oct 30, 01:42 PM

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (chest) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Ravens, head coach Joe Brady said on Friday. Kincaid wore a red non-contact jersey at practice on Wednesday and Thursday.

Footballguys view: Kincaid has 225 yards and a touchdown in his first two games, looking absolutely dominant. Since then, he's averaged just 22.5 yards per game and hasn't scored a touchdown. Injuries have been a common theme of Kincaid's career, and he came out of the bye week dealing with the same injury he suffered in Week 6. He landed awkwardly on a ball, left the game in the third quarter, and returned late. If he's active, he can be started as a back-end TE1 in what's projected to be a high-scoring game with the Ravens.

  Bills | DJ Moore listed as questionable for Week 8 vs. Ravens    Fri Oct 30, 01:42 PM

Bills WR DJ Moore (shoulder) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Ravens, head coach Joe Brady said on Friday. Moore practiced in a red non-contact jersey on Wednesday and Thursday.

Footballguys view: Moore's injury is hard to read, as he's recovering from an aggravation of a previous shoulder injury. He hasn't played since Week 4, when he was forced to exit early. The upside for Moore is obvious, and we saw it when he had 100 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. Since then, injuries have forced him to leave early, play limited, or miss entirely. If he's active, he can be a risky WR3 start. Once he proves healthy, he'll be in the weekly discussion as a high-end WR2.

  Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson questionable for Sunday at Dolphins    Fri Oct 30, 01:35 PM

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game at the Dolphins, coach Mike Vrabel said on Friday. Henderson missed Thursday's practice with the illness.

Footballguys view: Even if he's active, Henderson can't be trusted in lineups right now. He's averaging 34.4 scoreless yards per game over his last five outings. He's worth stashing in case Rhamondre Stevenson gets hurt, but the Patriots seem to be losing faith in him as ball security and pass blocking remain issues. He's a shaky RB4 if active.

  Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love will play Sunday against Cowboys, LaFleur says    Fri Oct 30, 01:35 PM

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love will play Sunday against the Cowboys, head coach Mike LaFleur said on Friday. Love, who has been dealing with an ankle injury, was limited in practice on Thursday after missing the Cardinals' previous game.

Footballguys view: After a two-week absence, Love will make his return. The rookie suffered a high ankle sprain this preseason, and his efficiency was trending down every week of the regular season as he worked through it. The Cardinals decided to put him on ice for a couple of weeks, and he'll hope to return healthy. He's a high-ceiling RB2 in fantasy lineups. The big question is how backup work will be split between Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight. Knight has handily outplayed Allgeier over the last couple of weeks and earned a larger role. One of Knight or Allgeier could be inactive for this matchup, and savvy fantasy managers can drop the inactive back for a waiver option with a higher ceiling.

  Ravens | Lamar Jackson set to return Sunday at Bills: 'We do think we will have Lamar'    Fri Oct 30, 01:29 PM

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is set to return for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Bills after missing the last three games with a high ankle sprain. "We do think we will have Lamar this game," Ravens coach Jesse Minter said on Friday. Jackson was a full participant in practice again Friday, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reported.

Footballguys view: Jackson looked close to returning last week and logged full practices all of this week. The Bills have found themselves in plenty of barn burners this year, and this matchup against a potent Ravens offense could be another. Get Jackson in your lineup as an elite QB1.

  Patriots | Vrabel says A.J. Brown's status for Sunday 'is questionable'    Fri Oct 30, 01:12 PM

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said on Friday that WR A.J. Brown is questionable for Sunday's game at the Dolphins. "His status is questionable," Vrabel said. Brown, who has a knee injury, was not seen at practice on Thursday or Friday.

Footballguys view: Brown was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice and then downgraded to back-to-back DNPs. While the team hasn't said anything officially, Daniel Rotman said Brown "will be out multiple weeks due to injury." Brown landed on IR after injuring his ankle in Week 1, but his recent injury involved his knee. Reports swirled this offseason about a degenerative knee condition that caused the Rams to back out of a trade, but the Patriots were willing to sign off on it. There's hope that Brown can recover and be the guy the Patriots traded for, but he's looking like a riskier play as we get deeper into the season. With an afternoon kickoff, fantasy managers will want a plan if Brown can't go. We'll hope for more information before the early games kick off.

  Falcons | Olamide Zaccheaus questionable for Sunday against Buccaneers    Fri Oct 30, 01:11 PM

Falcons WR Olamide Zaccheaus is questionable for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Buccaneers. He is one of eight Falcons players listed as questionable on Friday's injury report.

Footballguys view: The Falcons' offense has been hyper-concentrated on Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts. Almost any spillover has gone Jahan Dotson or Brian Robinson's way. Even if Zaccheaus is active, he's a touchdown-or-bust option for managers with no better options.

  Falcons | Brian Robinson Jr. ruled out for Week 8 against Buccaneers    Fri Oct 30, 01:07 PM

Falcons RB Brian Robinson Jr. has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, his second straight missed game with a hamstring injury. Robinson is the only Falcons player ruled out. The Falcons elevated RB Khalil Herbert to replace Robinson in last Sunday's win over the 49ers, and Herbert played well in his first action with the team, particularly on special teams, where he returned two kicks for 65 yards.

Footballguys view: Herbert was respectable with his three touches last week while Brian Robinson was sidelined, and he should maintain that role in Week 8. However, Bijan Robinson is the only running back who matters here. He's an elite RB1 this week against the Buccaneers, and only the most desperate managers should even consider Herbert, whose value will rely almost entirely on his unlikely ability to get into the end zone.

  Colts | Tyler Warren 'good to go' for Sunday at Jaguars    Fri Oct 30, 12:46 PM

Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, head coach Shane Steichen said on Friday. Warren had missed two straight games with the groin injury and was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.

Footballguys view: Warren suffered this groin injury in practice leading up to Week 6, so the severity was largely unknown. He was able to start this week with a couple of limited practices and is now cleared for Sunday. There's been little to be excited about in the Colts' offense this year, but Warren could help. As a short target underneath, he averaged 7.8 targets over his last four games. Warren, even coming off the injury, is a fantasy TE1 this week against the Jaguars.

  Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka out vs. Falcons despite clearing concussion protocol, foot still a problem    Fri Oct 30, 12:28 PM

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons even though he has cleared the concussion protocol. Egbuka's foot injury is still a problem, and he was limited all week.

Footballguys view: The Buccaneers won last week on the back of their defense, while Baker Mayfield needed only 11 pass attempts. The Falcons could push them a bit harder this week, but Mayfield hasn't looked like himself so far this year. Chris Godwin and Ted Hurst should step into larger roles with Egbuka out, but both are risky WR4s rather than must-start options. Expect the Buccaneers to lean on their defense and Bucky Irving, as that's proven to be a winning recipe.

  Colts | Jonathan Taylor practicing Friday amid trade speculation    Fri Oct 30, 12:27 PM

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor was practicing on Friday. Taylor has been the subject of trade speculation, though head coach Shane Steichen said on Wednesday that Taylor has not requested a trade.

Footballguys view: Taylor has scoffed at the idea of a rebuild. He's tried to ignore the trade speculation while maintaining his image as a consummate professional. The Colts remain steadfast in their desire to get a first-round pick in return, so a deal is unlikely unless they change their asking price. Fantasy managers should hope for a trade after the team shipped off Quenton Nelson. Taylor has proven to be a bit gamescipt-dependant in Indianapolis, and gamescripts are not expected to favor him for the rest of this season. He can be started as a back-end RB1 this week, but his floor is shaky if he can't score early.

  Eagles | DeVonta Smith 'still sidelined' at Friday practice    Fri Oct 30, 12:22 PM

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was still sidelined at Friday's practice, the team's last of the week. Smith did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday either, and he missed the Week 7 game against the Cowboys.

Footballguys view: It sure seems like Smith won't play this week. The Eagles are decimated by injuries now and have little reason to rush Smith back. Expect Makai Lemon to operate as the team's top receiver on Sunday night.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase is good to go for Sunday's game against the Titans, head coach Zac Taylor said on Friday. Chase, who has been dealing with an ankle injury, missed practice on Wednesday before returning as a full participant on Thursday.

Footballguys view: The full participation on Thursday calmed any concerns after Wednesday's DNP. Start Chase in your fantasy lineups without any reservations.
