Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders (back) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable after his back tightened up following practice on Friday. Sanders tested his injury pregame, and it was ultimately determined that the rookie wouldn't be able to suit up. Former Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe will be active against his old team, serving as Dillon Gabriel's backup.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Miami Dolphins due to a hip injury. London was able to practice in full on Wednesday and Thursday, but was downgraded to limited participation on Friday. On Saturday, the team officially listed him as questionable, but he was unable to progress enough to suit up. Managers should monitor his status leading up to their next game against the New England Patriots in Week 9. With London sitting out, managers should expect Darnell Mooney and Kyle Pitts Sr. to see the majority of the targets in the passing game. Quarterback Kirk Cousins will also see his upside limited without his top pass catcher this afternoon. Mooney projects to carry high-end WR3 upside operating as the clear WR1 in this offense.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the New England Patriots. He was listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice. The 29-year-old is returning from a one-game absence and should step back into the No. 1 tight end role on Sunday. Through six games this year, he has 23 catches, 223 yards, and one touchdown, ranking as the overall TE20 in PPR leagues. Njoku has 15 targets, nine catches, 95 yards, and a touchdown through two games with Dillon Gabriel, so perhaps he'll find success as a high-end TE2 this week. It helps that he's playing the Patriots, who have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points and eighth-most receptions to opposing tight ends in 2025.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) is officially active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the New York Jets. The 30-year-old is healthy again and will return to the defensive mix following a one-game absence. So far, he has played in six games, registering 15 tackles and four sacks. Widely regarded as one of the best defensive players in the league, Hendrickson should offer an immediate boost to Cincinnati's defense in his return.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The 24-year-old has carved out a decent season when you consider how poorly the rest of the offense has performed. He had 448 rushing yards and 164 receiving yards so far, ranking as the overall RB19 in PPR leagues. His ranking would be even higher if not for the fact that he hasn't scored a single touchdown in 2025. Hall's volume and pure talent keep him in the RB2 tier for Week 8 against Cincinnati, but the woes of the Jets' offense, led by Justin Fields, make it impossible to have full confidence in the Iowa State product.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (quadricep) is officially active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals despite being listed as questionable. Taylor missed practice on Thursday before returning in a limited capacity on Friday. The rookie has appeared in all six games this season, catching 24 passes for 208 yards and zero touchdowns while ranking as the overall TE22 in PPR leagues. Taylor has played at least 93 percent of the snaps in each of his last two games, but he has caught just four passes in that span as the Jets continue to struggle on both sides of the ball. As long as New York continues to operate as the worst team in the NFL, Taylor will have a reduced ceiling and very low floor. That's unfortunate given that Taylor has a juicy matchup against the Bengals, who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025. Nevertheless, Taylor remains in the low-end TE2 tier for this week.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (hip) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers despite being listed as questionable. Golden was a full participant earlier this week before being added to the injury report as a limited participant Friday. Despite his late addition, the rookie receiver is expected to suit up. He should operate as the Packers' No. 2 receiver behind Romeo Doubs, but he could face some competition from Christian Watson (knee), who is set to make his season debut on Sunday. Golden ranks outside the top 36 fantasy receivers this week, which means he can be benched in most formats.

Denver Broncos running back R.J. Harvey has been a minimal factor in the team's offense recently, giving way to a heavy workload from veteran J.K. Dobbins. Harvey had zero rushing yards on four carries last weekend, but he did salvage his fantasy performance with a touchdown catch. The rookie hasn't been a major scoring threat this year, though, ranking as the overall RB3 with fewer than 7.5 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his last three games. Furthermore, Harvey has played fewer than one-third of the snaps in each of his last three contests, as well as six of seven games this year. The UCF product's fantasy value has become highly dependent on breaking off a big play or scoring a touchdown. That could certainly happen this week against a Cowboys defense allowing the most total offense in 2025, but managers also need to remember that Dobbins has a firm grasp on the lead-back role in this backfield. Harvey ranks as low-floor RB3/flex against the Cowboys, who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (illness) has been added to the injury report ahead of today's game against the Atlanta Falcons. However, he does not carry an injury designation and will play. Tagovailoa is looking to bounce back from an ugly loss to the Cleveland Browns in which he threw three interceptions and was benched for Quinn Ewers. Unfortunately for the signal caller, the Falcons have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this year, even fewer than the Browns. Atlanta's six interceptions and seven passing touchdowns allowed do not bode well for Tagovailoa as he fights for his job in Week 8. He can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. saw a season-high workload last week, and he'll look to carry that momentum into Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Mims tied his season-high snap share (53%) in last week's victory and caught six of seven targets for 85 yards. His involvement took a significant leap, which is a very encouraging sign for this weekend's contest against Dallas. The Cowboys have played in plenty of shootouts this year, and we could see a similar scenario unfold on Sunday. Dallas has allowed the most offense (401.6 yards per game) this season, as well as the most passing yards per game (260.3). Meanwhile, the Cowboys' defense has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing receivers in 2025, as well as the third-most receiving yards (1,182) and the most touchdowns (12). There is an opportunity for several Broncos pass catchers to feast on Sunday, and Mims is one of them. As a deep threat with an increased role on offense, Mims has suddenly emerged as a potential WR3/flex in deeper leagues.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is expected to start against the Detroit Lions in Week 9, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. While Rapoport had previously reported that McCarthy would be the starter when healthy, his exact timetable for returning remained up in the air. Now, we have some clarity that the second-year quarterback should be active next weekend, barring a setback. Minnesota has managed to play 3-4 football despite starting Carson Wentz for five of its seven games, but it still ranks last in the NFC North as the division's only team below .500. McCarthy will face a tough task in his first game back, as the Lions are 5-2 with a strong defensive front. On a positive note, Detroit's defense has allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025, so Minnesota's signal-caller could have a solid performance. The 22-year-old ranks as a mid-range QB2 ahead of his third game this season -- and his first since Week 2.

Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (ankle, knee) will play in Week 8's game versus the Washington Commanders.

Fantasy Spin: Hunt was removed from the injury report after fully participating in practice Saturday, Oct. 25. Prior to that, he had been held out of practice Thursday, Oct. 23, and was only a limited participant Friday, Oct. 24. Hunt has only seen a handful of touches in recent weeks and is unlikely to see an uptick in usage on Monday night, so he is not a recommended fantasy lineup option.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco has momentum on his side as he prepares for a favorable Week 8 matchup against the New York Jets. Flacco is coming off one of his best games in recent memory, completing 31 passes for 342 yards and three touchdowns while surrendering zero turnovers. He looks like a completely different quarterback than the Flacco who was benched by the Browns and subsequently traded just a few weeks ago. While we don't expect the veteran to replicate last week's line every game, it was encouraging to see him break out because it confirms that he's at least capable of throwing the football effectively while limiting turnovers. It also provided optimism for fantasy managers with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The 40-year-old is on track to have another productive game against the 0-7 Jets, who have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks despite having a secondary anchored by Sauce Gardner. Flacco is a mid-range fantasy QB2 with legitimate QB1 upside.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 8 contest against the New York Jets, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The 30-year-old had played in six games, registering 15 tackles and four sacks, before missing last week's contest against the Steelers. He is now healthy again and will return to the defensive mix following a one-game absence. Widely regarded as one of the best defensive players in the league, Hendrickson should offer an immediate boost to Cincinnati's defense in his return.

New York Giants edge rusher Brian Burns (hip) told reporters that he expects to play in Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles despite being listed as questionable, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Burns missed two practices this week before logging a limited session on Friday. The 27-year-old has not yet missed a game this season, amassing 34 tackles, nine sacks, and one forced fumble while ranking as one of the best defensive players in fantasy football. His presence on Sunday is huge for the Giants' defense, as well as fantasy managers in IDP leagues.

Cincinnati Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson (hip) will play in Week 8's game versus the New York Jets, according to a source. He had been listed as questionable on the injury report after logging two limited practice sessions during the week.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (quad) is expected to suit up for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. He popped up on the injury report on Thursday and was able to get through a limited practice session on Friday. Barring any setbacks, Taylor should be out there for this weekend's matchup. Taylor could have a larger role than normal with the Jets shorthanded on offensive playmakers. If healthy, the rookie tight end makes for a possible flex play.

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson is expected to handle a significant workload against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8 after Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) were both ruled out. Hutchinson played a season-high 78 percent of the snaps last weekend, so we know he's capable of getting on the field at a high rate. He only caught one pass in that game, but in Week 5 against Baltimore, he had three catches for 18 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The 25-year-old may still lose some opportunities to Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, but if there's ever an opportunity for Hutchinson to break out, it's this Sunday with Collins and Kirk sidelined. Hutchinson has low-end WR3/flex appeal in deeper leagues.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) was a late addition to the injury report on Friday. The organization plans to check on London on Sunday morning to determine whether or not he'll be able to play against the Miami Dolphins in Week 8. His absence would be a huge hit to this offense. If he's unable to play, Darnell Mooney and Kyle Pitts Sr. would see their value skyrocket with Kirk Cousins under center this weekend. If active, London is a solid WR1, but fantasy managers will need to check back soon for another update.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers hasn't been quiet about wanting to be traded. Despite that, the Raiders aren't going to let Meyers go for free. The organization said they're only willing to trade Meyers if they get strong value in return. Coming into Week 8, Meyers has 29 receptions with 329 receiving yards and no touchdowns. The 28-year-old hauled in a career-high 87 receptions last season, but isn't having the same success. The Raiders offense is struggling and Meyers could certainly benefit from a move elsewhere. We'll see if any organization is willing to pay the right price to acquire the 28-year-old.
