Hey!
Week 8 is just hours away and before it begins you need to know these 10 important news items that came in the last 24 hours:
#10 Drake London is questionable. He was added to the injury report Friday with a hip injury. Then downgraded to questionable Saturday, never a great sign. Track this closely. Atlanta kicks off at 1 pm et…
#9 Lamar Jackson is OUT. He’ll miss his 3rd straight game with a hamstring injury. Tyler Huntley starting makes Zay Flowers more of a WR3 or FLEX at best…
#8 Terry McLaurin + Deebo Samuel will play. The Commanders still won’t have Jayden Daniels but getting both wideouts back keeps this offense afloat…
#7 Michael Penix is OUT with a knee injury. Kirk Cousins will start. He completed 67% of his passes across 14 games last year. This should help Darnell Mooney…
#6 Josh Reynolds is OUT. With Garrett Wilson out too, the Jets are down their top 2 WRs. Mason Taylor becomes a sneaky play and a Top 12 TE option this week…
#5 Justin Fields will start for the Jets. Tyrod Taylor is OUT with a knee injury. Fields won’t have Wilson or Reynolds but his rushing keeps him inside my Top 15 QBs…
#4 Breece Hall is expected to play. He practiced in full on Friday. Hall is a Top 15 RB, start him confidently over guys like D’Andre Swift and JK Dobbins…
#3 Christian Watson will play. He was activated ahead of Week 8. The Packers have been cautious, so expect a limited ramp-up role…
#2 Kareem Hunt will play. This turns Pacheco from a smash play into a solid RB2. I have him projected for 10.4 points this week…
#1 AJ Brown is OUT. He has a chance to return after the Eagles Week 9 bye. There is also some speculation that he could be traded before the deadline…
That’s all for today, go lock in those final lineups.
