[DET - WR Amon-Ra St. Brown questionable for Week 8]( Source: DetroitLions.com Detroit Lions WR [Amon-Ra St. Brown](=) (concussion) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 28, and is listed as questionable for Week 8. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] St. Brown appears to be on track to play against the Dolphins. He should be in lineups as long as he is active. The Lions are likely to get St. Brown and D'Andre Swift back this week in a big boost to the offense. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [SF - WR Deebo Samuel absent from practice again Friday](=) Source: ESPN.com - Nick Wagoner San Francisco 49ers WR [Deebo Samuel](=) (hamstring) did not practice for a third consecutive day on Friday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Samuel will miss Week 8. The 49ers have a bye next week, so hopefully he'll be ready to go in Week 10. George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk become better plays with Samuel sidelined. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [LAR - WR Van Jefferson expected to play a lot in Week 8]() Source: ESPN.com - Sarah Barshop Los Angeles Rams WR Van Jefferson (knee) will be monitored throughout the game, but head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday, Oct. 28, that he anticipates Jefferson to have 'a normal workload' in Week 8 versus the San Francisco 49ers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jefferson gives the team more of a downfield threat from the #3 receiver role, but the offensive line still needs to hold up to give Matthew Stafford time to find him. Jefferson isn't worth picking up, but he could help the offense perform better. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [WAS - RB Antonio Gibson staying put]() Source: The Washington Post - Sam Fortier Washington Commanders RB [Antonio Gibson](=) is unlikely to be dealt before the league's Nov. 1 trade deadline, according to head coach Ron Rivera on Friday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Gibson still has a year left on his rookie deal and he seems to be flourishing in his new role. Kareem Hunt is more likely to change teams before the deadline than Gibson. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [DAL - Dallas' Week 8 injury report]() Source: DallasCowboys.com Dallas Cowboys RB [Ezekiel Elliott](=) (knee) did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Week 8 against the Chicago Bears. WR [Noah Brown](=) (foot) and S Malik Hooker (hamstring) also did not practice all week but are listed as questionable. LB Devin Harper (Achilles), TE [Dalton Schultz](=) (knee), OT Terence Steele (neck), LB Micah Parsons (shoulder) and DE Sam Williams (knee) were limited in practice Friday and are also listed as questionable. DT Quinton Bohanna (shoulder), LB Damone Clark (neck), DT Neville Gallimore (wrist), S Jayron Kearse (foot) and DT Trysten Hill (thigh) practiced in full Friday, Oct. 28, and have been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Tony Pollard will get the start and is a must play against this weekend. UDFA Malik Davis will back him up. If Noah Brown can't go, Michael Gallup will be a suitable WR3/Flex play. Schultz will be a good tight end play if active after he and Dak Prescott reestablished their connection last week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [SEA - QB Russell Wilson will start]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Denver Broncos QB [Russell Wilson](=) (hamstring) will start in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's not that big an upgrade for the Broncos offense, but it is still better than Brett Rypien, except for Jerry Jeudy, who was Rypien's favorite target last week. The Broncos will have a bye after their game in London this week, so Wilson should be even healthier in Week 10. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [ARI - RB James Conner sitting again]( Source: ArizonaSports.com - Craig Grialou Arizona Cardinals RB [James Conner](=) (ribs) did not participate during the portion of practice open to the media Friday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Conner is out this week, which probably puts Eno Benjamin in the lead back role again. Darrel Williams is a game-time decision, so we won't know if Keaontay Ingram is the #2 back until Sunday morning. Benjamin is worth an RB2/Flex start after posting a big game in Week 7. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [ATL - Atlanta's Week 8 injury report]() Source: AtlantaFalcons.com Atlanta Falcons CB A.J. Terrell (hamstring) and S Jaylinn Hawkins (concussion) were ruled out on the final Week 8 injury report Friday, Oct. 28. CB Dee Alford (hamstring) is listed as questionable. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Terrell sitting will weaken the Falcons pass offense and make both D.J. Moore and P.J. Walker better plays this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [CAR - RB Chuba Hubbard absent Friday]( Source: Panthers.com - Darin Gantt Carolina Panthers RB [Chuba Hubbard](=) (ankle) was absent from practice Friday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Hubbard will miss Week 8. D'Onta Foreman should be the clear lead back and worth an RB2/Flex start, while Raheem Blackshear has some deep dynasty watch list appeal and could even have some redraft value if Foreman gets dinged. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [DEN - Week 8 injury report for Denver](=) Source: DenverBroncos.com Denver Broncos CB Essang Bassey (hamstring), LB Baron Browning (hip), WR [Tyrie Cleveland](=) (groin), OT Cameron Fleming (quad) and S Caden Sterns (hip) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. DL Mike Purcell (knee), LB Josey Jewell (knee) and QB [Russell Wilson](=) (hamstring) practiced in full Friday, Oct. 28, and no longer appear the injury report. CB K'Waun Williams (wrist, elbow) was not given a practice designation Friday but is also expected to play. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Broncos pass rush will miss Browning, who has looked like a future star since Randy Gregory went down. Trevor Lawrence should be a little more comfortable in the pocket Sunday morning. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [GB - Green Bay's Week 8 injury report](=) Source: Packers.com Green Bay Packers CB Shemar Jean-Charles (ankle) and WR [Allen Lazard](=) (shoulder) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. OT David Bakhtiari (knee), OG Elgton Jenkins (knee) and WR [Christian Watson](=) (hamstring) were limited in practice Friday, Oct. 28, and are listed as questionable. LB Rashan Gary (concussion) was upgraded to a full practice Friday but is also listed as questionable. QB [Aaron Rodgers](=) (thumb) and WR [Sammy Watkins](=) (hamstring) were limited in practice Friday but no longer appear on the injury report. TE [Marcedes Lewis](=) (rest) practiced in full Friday and is expected to be available. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Lazard will sit this week and might miss a great matchup against the Lions next week. There's no clear play from the Packers passing game outside of Aaron Jones, and Aaron Rodgers is out of consideration as a fantasy play in 1QB leagues facing the rested and fierce Bills defense. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [NYJ - WR Corey Davis ruled out Week 8]() Source: NewYorkJets.com New York Jets WR [Corey Davis](=) (knee) was ruled out Friday, Oct. 28, for the Week 8 matchup against the New England Patriots. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Elijah Moore, Garrett Wilson, and Braxton Berrios will be the top three receivers against the Patriots. Zach Wilson has been an underwhelming passer, so there's still no Jets receiver worth playing this week.

[DET - WR Josh Reynolds on track to play]( Source: DetroitLions.com Detroit Lions WR [Josh Reynolds](=) (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 28, and is not on the injury report for Week 8. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Reynolds is a what the heck flex play this week as the top outside receiver for an offense that should be invigorated by the return of D'Andre Swift and Amon-Ra St. Brown. This is a big change from last week, when he missed two practices and only got in a limited Friday practice after the bye. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [WAS - TE Logan Thomas listed as questionable]() Source: Sirius XM NFL Radio - Adam Caplan Washington Commanders TE [Logan Thomas](=) (calf) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 28, and is listed as questionable for Week 8. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Thomas isn't 100% so even if he's active, we should avoid him. This does make him possibly worth an add in very deep or TE premium leagues. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [DAL - RB Ezekiel Elliott unlikely to play]( Source: NFLCommunications.com Dallas Cowboys RB [Ezekiel Elliott](=) (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 28, and is listed as doubtful for Week 8. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Keep an eye on this but it looks like Elliott misses this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [LAR - RB Cam Akers to sit again in Week 8](=) Source: TheRams.com - Stu Jackson Los Angeles Rams RB [Cam Akers](=) (personal) will not play in Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Akers is likely to be traded or released before the deadline next week. The Bills have some connections to him and might be willing to add him as a reclamation project. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [NO - Week 8 injury report for New Orleans](=) Source: NewOrleansSaints.com New Orleans Saints WR [Michael Thomas](=) (foot), WR [Jarvis Landry](=) (ankle) and CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 8 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. DT David Onyemata (illness) did not practice Friday, Oct. 28, and is listed as questionable. TE [Adam Trautman](=) (ankle), OG Andrus Peat (chest), CB Paulson Adebo (knee) and TE [Juwan Johnson](=) (hamstring) were limited in practice Friday and are also listed as questionable. WR [Keith Kirkwood](=) (ankle), OT Ryan Ramczyk (rest, knee), OT Calvin Throckmorton (hip), DE Payton Turner (chest) and QB [Jameis Winston](=) (back, ankle) practiced in full Friday and no longer appear on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We're starting to wonder when we'll see Thomas and Landry. Both players have missed at least four games now and either should have been put on injured reserve or are not recovering as well as hoped. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [PIT - Week 8 injury report for Pittsburgh]() Source: Steelers.com Pittsburgh Steelers CB Levi Wallace (shoulder) and DT Larry Ogunjobi (knee) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. PK Chris Boswell (groin) was added to the injury report and did not practice Friday, Oct. 28, and is listed as questionable. CB Josh Jackson (groin) was limited in practice Friday and is also listed as questionable. CB Ahkello Witherspoon (hamstring), DT Montravius Adams (hamstring), WR [Steven Sims](=) (hamstring), TE [Pat Freiermuth](=) (ankle) and DT Cameron Heyward (rest) practiced in full Friday and no longer appear on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We'll see if the Steelers add a kicker before Sunday's game. Even if Boswell can go, the possibility of injury or the team going for two or more fourth downs makes him a kicker to avoid this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 19. [SEA - Seattle's final Week 8 injury report]() Source: The Athletic - Michael-Shawn Dugar Seattle Seahawks LB Nick Bellore (concussion) did not practice on Friday, Oct. 28, and has been ruled out for Week 8. Also, WR [Penny Hart](=) (hamstring) did not practice and is listed as doubtful, WR [DK Metcalf](=) (knee), DE Poona Ford (ankle), LB Darrell Taylor (groin), OG Gabe Jackson (hip/knee) and WR [Tyler Lockett](=) (hamstring/ribs) were limited and are listed as questionable, OG Phil Haynes (concussion) and CB Sidney Jones (groin) practiced in full and are questionable, and DL Al Woods (knee/rest), S Ryan Neal (ankle), CB Artie Burns (groin) and DE Quinton Jefferson (foot) practiced in full and were removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Metcalf's questionable tag gives some hope of him playing, but set your lineup without him. Seattle plays in the afternoon, so make sure you have an afternoon/night hedge replacement if you are going to count him playing after getting in a limited practice today. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 20. [DET - D'Andre Swift in the clear for Week 8]( Source: DetroitLions.com Detroit Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) practiced in full all week and no longer appears on the injury report for Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This is great news after Swift was a surprise inactive last week. He should be in lineups against the Dolphins and will boost a struggling offense. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 21. [SEA - WR Tyler Lockett a game-time decision]( Source: Seahawks.com - John Boyle Seattle Seahawks WR [Tyler Lockett](=) (hamstring/ribs) was limited in practice on Friday, Oct. 28, and is listed as questionable for Week 8. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Lockett should play, but he's not 100%. Marquise Goodwin should have a big role in the Seattle passing game if DK Metcalf can't go on Sunday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 22. [CIN - Friday's practice report for Cincinnati](=) Source: Bengals.com Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip), DE Trey Hendrickson (neck), DT Josh Tupou (calf) and CB Eli Apple (hamstring) did not practice Friday, Oct. 28. OT La'el Collins (ankle), WR [Stanley Morgan](=) (hamstring) and TE [Hayden Hurst](=) (groin, ankle) were limited. DE Jeffrey Gunter (knee) and LB Logan Wilson (shoulder) practiced in full. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We're hoping Hurst can get in a full practice tomorrow to give us more confidence playing him. He should have a chance to get more targets while Chase is out. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 23. [LVR - WR Davante Adams back on the field Friday](=) Source: ESPN.com - Paul Gutierrez Las Vegas Raiders WR [Davante Adams](=) (illness) returned to practice Friday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Adams should be good to go Sunday in New Orleans after the illness sidelined him on Wednesday and Thursday.
