The Giants have officially ruled RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) out for Monday night's game against the Chiefs. That comes as no surprise, with Barkley yet to return to practice. It locks in Devontae Booker as a solid RB2 for PPR lineups.
Broncos OLB Von Miller (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against Washington. He missed practice all week, though, despite the longer break after playing Thursday night in Week 7. It was reported after he got hurt in Cleveland that Miller appeared likely to miss team. We'd try to not use him in IDP lineups this week even if active.
Buccaneers LB Lavonte David (ankle), EDGE Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder, hand) and CB Richard Sherman (hamstring) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints. David finished the week with a full practice and should be ready to return. JPP missed practice all week but did so last week as well and then played through a questionable tag. Sherman was limited all week but shouldn't be in anyone's IDP plans anyway.
Chargers LB Drue Tranquill (chest) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots. We'll check his status Sunday afternoon, but Tranquill isn't a high-level IDP option even if active. S Nasir Adderley is good to go after missing the last game with a hip injury. He practiced in full all week and didn't appear on the final injury report.
The Patriots rolled out their usual list of questionable starters Friday, this time including LB Ja'Whaun Bentley (ribs), DB Kyle Dugger (neck), DT Davon Godchaux (finger), LB Dont'a Hightower (ankle), LB Kyle Van Noy (groin) and DE Deatrich Wise (knee). We'll check the status for all Sunday afternoon. All of those players put in limited practices all week.
Titans LB Rashaan Evans is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after popping up on Friday's injury report with an ankle issue that kept him out of practice. That should keep Evans out of IDP lineups even if he's active. The team also designated LB Jayon Brown to return from IR this week. We don't yet know whether he has a chance to play Sunday.
Lions EDGE Trey Flowers (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles. He spent all week limited in practice after playing through a questionable tag last week. We'd bet he'll play, but we'll confirm his status Sunday.
Texans LB Christian Kirksey is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams. He fractured a thumb late in last week's game. Kirksey said Thursday, though, that he plans to play through the injury. We'll confirm his status Sunday.
Rams CB Jalen Ramsey and S Jordan Fuller are questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans. Ramsey missed Thursday and Friday practices with an illness. We'd bet on him being ready for the game. Fuller sat out Wednesday's and Thursday's workouts completely with a knee issue but return for a full Friday practice. We'll check the status for both Sunday morning.
Panthers LB Shaq Thompson (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. He put in limited practices all week after missing the previous game. It sounds like Thompson expects to be ready, but we'll check his status Sunday morning.
Dolphins LB Jerome Baker (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills after putting in limited practices all week. We'll check his status Sunday morning.
Seahawks HC Pete Carroll suggested Friday that RB Chris Carson's neck issue isn't improving and that he might not be able to return this season. “He’s got to make a turn here to show us that he’s feeling better and good enough to really go for it,” Carroll said. “He hasn’t been able to come out to practice yet and go. Pretty soon, you’re going to say, ‘Is he going to make it back?’ and I’m not ready to do that yet. But really keeping my fingers crossed for him that he gets to come back and play." We'll continue to keep an eye on the situation, but fantasy owners can't be counting on Carson contributing the rest of the way.
Chargers HC Brandon Staley said Friday that he's "hopeful" RB Austin Ekeler (hip) will be able to play vs. the Patriots on Sunday. Ekeler was sore after Wednesday's practice, Staley said, so they decided to hold him out on Thursday and Friday. It's a relatively optimistic report, but Ekeler's Week 8 status remains uncertain. We'll continue looking for updates on the situation. Patriots-Chargers doesn't kick off until 4:05 pm ET on Sunday.
49ers QB Trey Lance (knee) is not listed on the final injury report and will return for Sunday's game against the Bears. QB Jimmy Garoppolo will start, but Lance could steal a handful of snaps.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) is not listed on the final injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. He should be ready for his usual target-hogging role against the Bears this weekend.
Seahawks RB Alex Collins (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars. Just like last week, he was sidelined on Thursday before returning to a limited practice on Friday. We’re expecting Collins to play this weekend. But he’s not at 100% and will likely lead a committee backfield alongside Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas. It leaves Collins as just a RB3 or flex play.
Chargers WR Mike Williams (knee) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll be in his usual role in Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots.
ESPN's Rich Cimini reports that the Jets will be activating LB Jarrad Davis (ankle) off IR for Sunday's game against the Bengals. We'll see how much playing time he gets.
Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (hip) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game against the Patriots. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and didn’t practice on Thursday or Friday. Not a good look. We’ll continue to look for updates on Ekeler’s status. If he misses Sunday’s game, the Chargers would likely deploy a 3-back committee with Joshua Kelley, Justin Jackson and Larry Rountree.
Jets LB C.J. Mosley (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals. ESPN's Rich Cimini reports that he's "expected to play barring any setbacks." We'll check Mosley's status Sunday morning.
