Austin Ekeler (hip) will play tomorrow.

Ekeler, who is listed as questionable with his hip injury and missed practice on Thursday and Friday, told ESPN that he will face the Patriots tomorrow. The missed practices were definitely a cause for concern, but it looks like you can safely insert Ekeler as a strong option in Week 8 fantasy lineups.

The Eagles have elevated Jordan Howard from the practice squad.

This is notable with Miles Sanders (ankle) on injured reserve, as Howard could have a substantial early-down role for Philly. He’s worth considering as a touchdown-dependent FLEX in deeper leagues.

Jerry Jeudy (ankle) is officially being activated off injured reserve.

Juedy has been out since Week 1 due to a high-ankle sprain, but he’s back for tomorrow’s game versus Washington and should provide a great boost to the Denver offense.

Preston Williams has been ruled out for Week 8.

Williams wasn’t listed on the injury report this week, but he isn’t traveling with the team for tomorrow’s game against the Bills and has been ruled out. Perhaps Williams is involved in trade discussions and will be on the move ahead of next week’s deadline.

Sterling Shepard (hamstring) is officially questionable for Week 8.

As was the case last week (which Shepard ultimately missed), this is shaping up to be a true game-time call. With the Giants playing on Monday night, it might be difficult to count on using Shepard in your fantasy lineup. If you do, just be sure to have a backup plan from the final game of the week.

Kadarius Toney (ankle) is questionable for Monday night.

Toney looked good in practice from what we saw, and he’s expected to give it a go against the Chiefs. That said you should have a backup plan for Toney from the Monday night game if you plan to use him in your Week 8 fantasy lineup.

Kenny Golladay (knee) has officially been ruled out for Week 8.

There was hope that it would be just a one or two game absence for Golladay, but the knee issue is taking longer than anticipated, and him being ruled out a couple of days ahead of the game isn’t a great sign. Consider Golladay week-to-week.
