Tua Tagovailoa, Romeo Doubs Lead List

Week 7 was a difficult week for injuries. Brandon Aiyuk and DeShaun Watson are out for the season, while superstar wideouts Mike Evans and DK Metcalf also suffered injuries that could cause them to miss several weeks.

Drake Maye also left the game early and did not return with a rib injury, but there is optimism he won’t miss much time.

Some backfields remain difficult to predict, including the Dolphins and Buccaneers. Sean Tucker and Jalen Wright are two players who should be added to the roster based on their future potential if you have the space.

There are no teams on byes this week, but that shouldn’t stop you from taking action and keeping your roster fresh. Here’s our top fantasy news for Week 8.

Drake Maye, Patriots, 87% available

Maye is off to another solid fantasy start in London, putting up more than 20 fantasy points in each of his two starts. That was good enough to finish Week 6 as QB10, and he was the QB4 heading into Monday Night Football. His next matchups aren’t ideal (Jets, Titans, Bears), but Maye has some mobility and should continue to improve as a passer. He is worth adding in the Superflex leagues.

Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins, 73% available

Tua will reportedly be back this weekend, to the relief of those who have Tyreek Hill, De’Von Achane and Jaylen Waddle on their fantasy roster.

When he starts this week, he will face the Arizona Cardinals, who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. In his only complete game this season, Tua finished the game as the fantasy QB9.

Russell Wilson, Steelers, 94% available

Wilson appeared to be cooking again Sunday night against a banged up Jets defense. Wilson still throws a beautiful, deep ball, and his connection to George Pickens should be great for fantasy. Wilson completed 16 of 29 pass attempts for 264 yards and two touchdowns and also scored a third touchdown in Sunday’s 37-15 win. This week’s matchup with the Giants is also favorable for quarterbacks.

Other: Sam Darnold

Alexander Mattison, Raiders, 57% available

Mattison appears to have taken over the backfield in Las Vegas, running the ball 23 times for 92 yards against the Rams on Sunday despite Zamir White being active in that game. It was the most carries for Mattison and any Raiders running back this season. It’s unlikely the Raiders will feature in many game scripts favorable to runners, but the volume could make Mattison a weekly flex play.

Tyrone Tracy, Giants, 52% available

Tracy appears to have earned more playing time as he was on the field more often than Devin Singletary, who returned from injury this week. Neither runner saw much action in a game where the Giants were shut out, but Tracy was the more efficient runner this season, averaging 4.36 yards per carry to Singletary’s 3.92. Singletary also has a few fumbles this year.

Tyler Goodson, Colts, 95% available

Jonathan Taylor continues to battle an ankle injury and Goodson played this week ahead of Trey Sermon, who is dealing with a knee injury. Goodson was far more effective in the three weeks without Taylor, averaging 4.74 yards per carry while Sermon managed just 2.86 yards. If Taylor continues to miss time, Goodson should be used in more leagues.

Ray Davis, Bills, 85% available

Davis still trails Cook despite an impressive performance in Week 6 in which he rushed for 20 carries and racked up 152 all-purpose yards. However, the Bills could find themselves leaning on the run in many game scripts, and Davis should get more of the timeshare.

Dameon Pierce, Texans, 96% available

The Texans traded Cam Akers back to the Vikings, and Pierce is the early handcuff for Joe Mixon in a running game that has become even more important for Houston with the loss of Nico Collins.

Jaylen Wright, Dolphins, 92% available

When Wright had the ball on Sunday, he was dynamic, averaging 6.6 yards per carry with an explosive 20% rushing rate. He’s still in the timeshare with Mostert and Achane, but if you have space, the talented newcomer is worth betting on.

Others: Sean Tucker, Kendre Miller, Keaton Mitchell

Romeo Doubs, Packers, 63% available

With an 80% participation rate, Doubs leads all Packers receivers, and he has impressed since returning from his year-long layoff. Doubs scored a total of 14 in the last two games and led all receivers with 11 grabs, 143 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Jauan Jennings, 49ers, 55% available

The 49ers are struggling. They will not only be without Christian McCaffrey this season, but also Brandon Aiyuk. Aiyuk suffered a torn ACL and ACL in Week 7. Deebo Samuel is in the hospital with pneumonia and George Kittle has a sprained ankle.

The last time the Niners needed a WR to step up, Jennings answered the call. In Week 3, Jennings caught 11 of 12 targets and scored 3 touchdowns against the Rams without Deebo Samuel.

Jalen Tolbert, Cowboys, 74% available

Tolbert will continue to be targeted on the outside routes while Brandin Cooks serves as the IR for Dallas. Only the Seahawks have averaged more passing yards per game than the Dallas Cowboys.

Keon Coleman, Bills, 56% available

Coleman had a huge game in Week 7, going 4 of 7 for 125 yards against the Titans.

Others: Ricky Pearsall, Juju Smith-Schuster, Michael Wilson

Noah Fant, Seahawks, 92% available

No team has completed more passes than the Seahawks this season, and Fant has capitalized over the past two weeks, catching all 10 of his targets in that span and racking up 128 yards. If you need something at the position, Fant is a good dart.

Hunter Henry, Patriots, 73% available

Rookie Drake Maye relied on his tight end. Henry caught 3 of 5 targets and scored a touchdown in Maye’s first start. Last week he targeted Henry nine times, and Henry caught eight of them for 92 yards.

Others: Jonnu Smith, Taysom Hill, Cade Otton
