Los Angeles Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert will look to keep his strong debut season going against the Denver Broncos in a Week 8 battle on Sunday. Herbert picked up his first victory versus the Jaguars in Week 7 and looked brilliant in doing so. The Broncos Defense has been playing very of late and has only allowed one touchdown over their last three games,

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde (hamstring) didn’t practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Week 8 against the 49ers. It’s a shame that he won’t be active since both Chris Carson (foot) and Travis Homer (knee) are also injured and are questionable for Sunday. Rookie DeeJay Dallas is the only healthy back on the team’s roster, so he could wind up seeing

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (foot) and All-Pro safety Jamal Adams (groin, illness) are questionable for Week 8 against the 49ers. No. 3 running back Travis Homer (knee) is also questionable. Carson is a true game-time decision on Sunday. With Carlos Hyde (hamstring) doubtful, rookie DeeJay Dallas is the only healthy back on the roster. Seattle will work out their injured backs before the

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has put together two reliable performances through the first six games of the season. Honestly, fantasy owners have absolutely no clue when Gesicki is about to go off. He finished with five receptions for 91 yards in Week 5 matchup versus the San Francisco 49ers. A respectable secondary that is usually able to hold tight ends in check. In

Miami Dolphins tight end Adam Shaheen (shoulder) has pretty much gone unnoticed in fantasy leagues until Week 6. He hauled in all three of his targets for 51 yards and one touchdown in the victory over the New York Jets. The team recently signed Shaheen to a new two-year $7.6 million deal. Clearly, the Dolphins want to keep Shaheen involved in their gameplan moving forward.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams has 12 total receptions through the first six games of the regular season. Luckily, he has held some fantasy value because he has been able to haul in three touchdowns. Although, Williams won’t have a favorable matchup ahead of him against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8. The Rams secondary has been tough to pass against this season.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (groin) remained limited during Thursday’s practice, which isn’t a great sign. However, Parker has already been playing at less than 100 percent, so he’ll likely fight through the pain. Sadly, Parker could be in for a rough week in fantasy leagues. He’s already banged up and will have to deal with Jalen Ramsey in Week 8. Right now, fantasy

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida was expected to have a significant role in the backfield this season, but that hasn’t been the case. Breida has not seen more than nine carries in a single game this season. That is unlikely going to change with Myles Gaskin playing well for Miami. Maybe the change at quarterback will bring new life to Breida’s value, but that’s

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has become the clear-cut lead back for this offense. He rushed the ball 18 times for 91 yards in the Week 6 victory over the New York Jets. Gaskin is used both in the passing attack and the running game, which makes him a favorable option in PPR leagues. The Dolphins are making a change at quarterback this week

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was surprisingly named the starter for the Week 8 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. This is quite odd timing since the team is 3-3 and was playing well with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. Regardless, Tagovailoa was always the future of the team. It’s tough to predict what kind of value he’ll have since he has only thrown two passes

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Titans. It will be Mixon’s second straight missed game for his fantasy managers. Cincinnati is playing it safe with their leading rusher with their bye coming in Week 9. Backup Giovani Bernard should once again see the majority of the backfield touches this Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (knee) has been ruled out for the Sunday night game against the division-rival Cowboys in Week 8. Sanders will now miss his second straight game after going down with a knee injury in Week 6 against the Ravens. Make sure he’s removed from all starting lineups this weekend. Backup Boston Scott filled in admirably in last week’s win over

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Marquez Callaway (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Bears. Callaway suffered an ankle injury in his Week 7 breakout with both Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders sidelined. The undrafted rookie caught eight passes for 75 yards in the win over the Panthers. Expect quarterback Drew Brees to rely heavily on running back Alvin

The Jacksonville Jaguars activated running back Chris Thompson from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Thompson will be ready to return in Week 9 against the Texans following the team’s bye this week. The 30-year-old has been an afterthought in Jacksonville’s backfield behind James Robinson, rushing the ball just six times for 17 yards. However, he’s contributed 16 receptions on 19 targets for 111 yards and

The Detroit Lions signed running back Jonathan Williams to their active roster on Friday off the Washington Football Team practice squad. The Lions already have rookie D’Andre Swift, Adrian Peterson, Kerryon Johnson, Jamal Agnew and Bo Scarbrough on their roster, so Williams will add to a crowded running back picture in Detroit. The former fifth-round selection of the Bills in 2016 carried the ball 49

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Week 8 against the Steelers. Ingram hasn’t practiced all week and needs to be removed from starting lineups this weekend. Most fantasy managers were already fading Ingram to their bench anyway, as the 30-year-old veteran hasn’t gone over 60 yards rushing in a single game this season. This could pave the way

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby (back, calf) and offensive tackle David Bakhtiari (chest) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Vikings. Crosby at least got in a limited practice on Friday, giving him a chance to suit up this Sunday in the divisional matchup. But he’s in danger of missing the first game of his career, and fantasy managers should be

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) missed his second straight practice on Friday. Freeman was injured in the Week 7 loss to the Giants and doesn’t look likely to play on Monday night this week against the Buccaneers. Wayne Gallman took over the majority of backfield touches last Thursday after Freeman went down, and he’d likely be the beneficiary on Monday if Freeman

New England Patriots wide receivers Julian Edelman (knee) and N’Keal Harry (concussion) have both been ruled out for Week 8 against the division-rival Bills. Edelman underwent a minor knee procedure this week and could miss multiple games. He’s become a drop candidate in 12-team leagues due to his injury and declining production sans Tom Brady. Harry missed last week’s game as well and didn’t practice

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Bears. Thomas returned to practice on Thursday, but he’ll miss yet another game after tweaking his hamstring last week. The first receiver off the board in fantasy drafts in the first round in most leagues, Thomas has been a huge bust this season and hasn’t played since
