Rams QB Matt Stafford hurt his right (throwing) thumb in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. He appeared to bang it on a helmet at least twice. Stafford got the thumb taped and initially returned. But he exited again in the third quarter and has been replaced by QB Brett Rypien. Stay tuned for an update on Stafford.
Update: Stafford is officially questionable to return.
Patriots WR DeVante Parker has been ruled out of Week 8 with a head injury. The veteran posted 1 catch for 14 yards before departing.
Steelers QB Kenny Pickett suffered a rib injury in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars and has been ruled out. He's been replaced by QB Mitchell Trubisky. We'll update Pickett's status when we know more.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (concussion) is officially active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He cleared the protocol on Saturday after putting in a full practice on Friday. Purdy is safe to use in fantasy lineups as you normally would.
Jaguars RB Travis Etienne suffered an ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Steelers. He's officially questionable to return. We'll update Etienne's status when we know more. His absence would mean opportunity for RB Tank Bigsby.
Update: Etienne returned on Jacksonville's next possession.
Falcons QB Desmond Ridder was benched at halftime of Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He was evaluated for a concussion but cleared, per Tori McElhaney of the team's website. Ridder went 8-of-12 for 71 scoreless yards in the first half. He's been replaced by QB Taylor Heinicke. We'll see how he fares and who Atlanta rolls with under center in Week 9 and beyond.
Giants QB Tyrod Taylor suffered a ribs injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jets and has been ruled out. With QB Daniel Jones (neck) inactive, the Giants are down to QB Tommy DeVito.
Update: Taylor has been taken to a hospital, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Browns RB Jerome Ford (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. He went down with what was reported as a low-grade high-ankle sprain just last week. But Ford has evidently made a surprisingly quick recovery. It’s still safe to assume that he'll be at far less than 100% today, though. He’d be a risky fantasy start. See where Ford sits in the Week 8 RB Rankings.
Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice and should be ready to play his usual role today.
Giants WR Darren Waller has been ruled out of Sunday's game vs. the Jets with a hamstring injury. He's been dealing with hamstring trouble all season and was questionable coming into this one. We'll look for more info on Waller's status going forward.
Steelers S Minkah Fitzpatrick injured his right hamstring in the first quarter against the Jaguars. The team quickly labeled him doubtful to return, which doesn't bode well for Fitzpatrick's Week 9 status. We'll certainly be watching for more updates.
Update: Pittsburgh downgraded him to out before the end of the first half.
Rams RB Zach Evans is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Cowboys. Not a big surprise after he played zero snaps last week. RB Myles Gaskin is active for Los Angeles, but we're expecting RBs Darrell Henderson and Royce Freeman to again handle the majority of the work.
The Panthers will have S Xavier Woods (hamstring) back in the lineup for today's game against the Texans. It'll be his first game action since Week 3.
Jaguars S Andre Cisco (hamstring) and CB Tyson Campbell (hamstring) are inactive for today's game against the Steelers.
Giants Edge Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) is active for today's game against the Jets. He's not a high-level fantasy play but sits on the fringe of DL2 territory. CB Adoree' Jackson (neck) is also active. He's a low-level IDP option at most.
Dolphins S Jevon Holland (concussion) and CB Xavien Howard (groin) are inactive for today's game against the Patriots. That leaves Miami without half of its top four in the secondary. CB Jalen Ramsey is active, however, for the first time this season.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has been added to the injury report with an illness but will play vs. the Broncos later today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. At this point, there's no reason to believe that Mahomes' fantasy production will be affected. We'll let you know if that changes.
Packers LB De'Vondre Campbell (ankle) is active for today's game against the Vikings. It'll be his first action since suffering the injury back in Week 3. Campbell carries some risk but also plenty of upside for IDP lineups. CB Jaire Alexander (back) is also active.
Packers TE Luke Musgrave (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it’s tough to believe that Musgrave will be anywhere close to 100% for this one. He’s not a recommended TE1 play.
Giants TE Darren Wallker (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He was limited in practice all week, but we never heard any concern about his availability for this one. Waller is safe to get into Week 8 fantasy lineups.
