Breece Hall, Nico Collins Top NFL Players on Week 8 Fantasy Football Injury Report
In this story:
If you are reading this then there is a good chance that your team has fallen victim to the injury bug. Some come and some go, but we always have players banged up that will contribute to our team management. You cannot make the best possible decision for your team until you know what you are working with. Is Lamar Jackson out? Is JJ McCarthy active? This injury report will stay updated to keep you guided in the right direction.
QUARTERBACKS
JJ McCarthy
McCarthy is listed questionable for Thursday Night Football, but Carson Wentz will be starting.
Lamar Jackson
There are rumors floating around that Jackson will not yet be ready to start this Sunday. He did practice in limited fashion on Wednesday so we will stay tuned into this. He remains in practice, but limited. He are optimistic that he plays.
Brock Purdy
Purdy's will be out again and Mac Jones will start again.
Michael Penix Jr.
He is being limited in practice due to a leg injury. Penix is commonly a fantasy football backup, so look to your others options in the meantime.
Jayden Daniels
He will be out in Week 8 with a hamstring strain. Marcus Mariota returns to the starting role.
Tyrod Taylor
Taylor was listed the starting on Tuesday, but now he is working with a knee injury. It is unclear if Fields or Brady Cook would start if Taylor were absent.
Bryce Young
He is working through an ankle injury and now he expects jato miss Week 8. Andy Dalton will start.
RUNNING BACKS
Hassan Haskins
Haskins will be out this week, paving way for Kimani Vidal to have the bulk role again.
Aaron Jones
Jones will play in TNF.
D'Andre Swift
A groin injury has Swift sidelined for now, but he will be questionable with optimism. Keep an eye on Kyle Monangai. He trends towards playing.
Bucky Irving
He remains hurt and out in Week 8. Look to Rachaad White.
Breece Hall
He briefly left Sunday's game injured, but Hall returned. He is day-to-day. Isaiah Davis would back him up.
Josh Jacobs
He is battling injury again and now it is a calf. He was pulled off of the injury report on Friday and will play.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Calvin Ridley
He missed Week 7 and is questionable with the same hamstring injury. We seem to trend towards him missing Week 8, but it is unclear at the moment.
Ricky Pearsall
Pearsall misses practice again on Wednesday. At this point, it is surprising that he never joined the IR. He will miss Week 8.
Josh Downs
He has been cleared from concussion protocol.
DJ Moore
He now has a hip injury that results in questionable status. He expects to play.
Christian Kirk
He remains banged up with his hamstring and is not back at practice. He will be out.
Nico Collins
He is the newest concussion victim. We would be surprised to see him play in Week 8. As of Friday, he will not play.
Mike Evans
#Bucs WR Mike Evans is set for surgery this week to repair his broken collarbone, sources say, a clean break that should have Evans back in eight weeks or fewer. pic.twitter.com/3tBhmvp8LO

With a broken collarbone, there is a good chance that he is out for the season and definitely out for the fantasy football playoffs.
Chris Godwin
Godwin will miss Week 8 and the injury prone wideout stays the status. Emeka Egbuka will be a massive contributor going forward.
Garrett Wilson
The Jets hope to get him back in Week 8. The season is lost, so there is no reason to rush it.
Deebo Samuel
He seems to have optimism in his Monday status. We can count of Samuel being back.
Terry McLaurin
McLaurin is practing in full and is due back this Monday.
Stefon Diggs
His chest injury is back on the report, but we expect him to be active. o
AJ Brown
His season continues to not go to plan. Brown is out with a hamstring.
Matthew Golden
Golden is questionable to play with a hip issue. Doubs would be the beneficiary. Christian Watson could debut.
TIGHT ENDS
David Njoku
He is back at practice but remains questionable as of Friday.
Darren Waller
His hype was short lived. Waller has a pectoral injury that puts him on the IR, missing at least four weeks.
Dalton Kincaid
With an oblique injury, he will aim to get back this week.
Mason Taylor
He was added to the Thursday injury report with a quad. This will be concerning.
