Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott might be the only reliable fantasy option in the entire Cowboys lineup in Week 8. With seventh-round rookie Ben DiNucci looking like the likely starter in place of Andy Dalton (concussion), the Cowboys offense could be even more of a mess than they have been since Dak Prescott (ankle) went down. Elliott could be the only one on the

Dallas Cowboys rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci is looking more and more likely to get the start in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Starter Andy Dalton (concussion) still hasn’t been cleared to play and was not even able to practice on Wednesday. DiNucci played in Week 7 after he replaced Dalton, going 2-for-3 for 39 yards while absorbing three sacks. DiNucci under center would be

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is set for an excellent Week 8 performance against the Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton (concussion) has yet to be cleared to play, meaning rookie Ben DiNucci could end up getting the start on Sunday night. As much as Dalton has struggled to move the ball in the Cowboys offense, it may be even worse with DiNucci under center. The

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott won’t make for a great fantasy option in Week 8 lineups despite what is predicted to be a high-scoring game against the Dallas Cowboys. Elliott has been a solid kicker in previous years, but this season he’s only made eight of his 12 field goal attempts and 11 extra points. The Eagles offense isn’t giving him many chances, and he’s

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that rookie wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (calf) is returning to practice on Wednesday. Indianapolis will now have 21 days to activate Pittman from Injured Reserve. The USC product could return to face the Lions this weekend, but he’d likely play limited snaps if that was the case. The 23-year-old had nine receptions on 12 targets for 73

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers likely has one more week as the team’s top tight end, and it comes against a porous Dallas Cowboys Defense. Dallas Goedert (ankle) has returned to practice and is expected back from Injured Reserve after the team’s Week 9 bye, so this should be the final week for Rodgers at the top of the depth chart. He saw a

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett (ankle) is sitting out of practice on Wednesday. Garrett is a must-start IDP defensive lineman each and every week, so this is an injury to keep an eye on throughout the rest of the week. Garrett has a league-high nine sacks and four forced fumbles through seven weeks, including 22 combined tackles (19 solo), five tackles for loss, 13

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor (thumb) could be back on the field for a Week 8 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Reagor hasn’t played since Week 2 but has returned to practice and looks like he’ll play on Sunday night barring any setbacks. With the Eagles still desperate for pass catchers, it’s possible Reagor sees a big workload in his first game back.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) and rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor (thumb) are taking part in practice on Wednesday. Goedert will likely be limited, but Reagor is doing well. Goedert is expected to return in Week 10 after the team’s bye, but he should be stashed in all leagues right now since he’ll be the unquestioned top receiving tight end when he returns

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver John Hightower is not a reliable option for any Week 8 fantasy lineups. Hightower has caught a few deep passes this season, but he’s not seeing anywhere near consistent enough targets to be worth starting in almost any format. He’s a zero-floor big play threat who has caught nine passes on 21 targets for 166 scoreless yards so far this

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward scored a touchdown last week against the Giants, but isn’t a great fantasy option despite an even better matchup in Week 8. Ward spent some time as quarterback Carson Wentz‘s favorite target, but that title has been snatched by Travis Fulgham, who has drawn double-digit targets in three straight games. Ward has operated mostly as the second wide receiver

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II is in the league’s concussion protocol this week. Robinson had a season-low four targets in the Monday night loss to the Rams, but he caught all four of his targets for 70 yards. He’s had only nine catches the last two games against the Panthers and Rams in Chicago’s stagnant offense after catching 10 passes in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Travis Fulgham is set for another big game in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys. Fulgham didn’t score a touchdown last week for the first time in three games, but he did see 10 or more targets for the third game in a row. Through his first four games of the season, Fulgham has come out of nowhere to catch 23

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield had his fourth career game with a 125-plus passer rating in Week 7 against the Bengals when wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) suffered a torn ACL. The other three games came in 2018 before Beckham was with the team. OBJ’s 53.5 catch rate this year was the second-lowest among 34 receivers with 40-plus targets. Mayfield’s passer rating when targeting

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is unlikely to do much in Week 8 despite an excellent matchup and injuries ahead of him. Last week, with starter Miles Sanders (knee) out, Clement only received three touches, running the ball twice for nine yards and catching a pass for 12 yards. With Sanders not on the field, Boston Scott took over the backfield and operated as

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott could have a big game in Week 8. Scott went for 46 yards on the ground and 46 yards through the air last week, catching the game-winning touchdown in a win over the Giants. With starter Miles Sanders (knee) looking likely to miss another week, Scott should operate as the unquestioned lead back again in the Eagles backfield. Facing

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (knee) is still day-to-day and has not practiced yet this week. Sanders was forced to miss Week 7 and is on the wrong side of questionable heading into Week 8. With the Eagles scheduled for a Week 9 bye, the team may decide not to push their starting running back and could hold him out until after the bye.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz hasn’t been as good on the field as most people expected this season, but he’s still the seventh overall fantasy quarterback in standard scoring and has been third in the past three games. He’s somewhat quietly having one of those better-in-fantasy-than-in-real-life seasons. He’s been mostly buoyed by his rushing stats, but he’s averaging close to 26 fantasy points per game

The Seattle Seahawks acquired defensive end Carlos Dunlap from the Cincinnati Bengals on Wednesday in exchange for offensive lineman B.J. Finney and a seventh-round pick, according to sources. In his 11 years in Cincinnati, Dunlap has been one of the team’s best pass-rushers, but he became disgruntled with his role when the Bengals demoted him to a situational role this season. The two-time Pro Bowler

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton (concussion) attended meetings on Wednesday morning, but he hasn’t progressed enough in the concussion protocol to attend position meetings and will not practice on Wednesday. Head coach Mike McCarthy doesn’t expect Dalton to be available until the “end of the week at the earliest.” It’s looking increasingly likely that rookie Ben DiNucci will get the start in Week 8 against
