Nick Chubb is off the Week 8 injury report.

After missing the past two games with a calf injury, Chubb is ready to go for a divisional matchup with the Steelers this Sunday. You can fire up the star running back as a strong RB1 in Week 8 fantasy lineups.

Eric Ebron (hamstring) ruled out for Week 8.

Ebron hasn’t been a recommended fantasy option for Pittsburgh with rookie Pat Freiermuth emerging, but he is still a weekly factor for them, so this news should lead to more playing time for James Washington.

The Rams and DeSean Jackson have mutually agreed to seek a trade, according to NFL Network.

Playing time for the veteran hasn’t been what he’s hoped for, and the fact that he’s healthy could lead to another team trying to acquire him before next week’s deadline. Jackson could be worth a speculative add in deeper leagues, but it’s unlikely he becomes a reliable option in 10- or 12-team leagues.

Julio Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 8.

Jones has been dealing with this hamstring issue all season, and he’ll miss his third game of the year. Soft-tissue injuries have unfortunately lingered for Julio, but hopefully Tennessee is pulling him back in anticipation for another tough game next week against the Rams. Look for the offense to continue playing through Derrick Henry and A.J. Brown versus Indy on Sunday.

T.Y. Hilton (quad) is questionable for Week 8.

Hilton is making progress from his quad issue after missing last week’s game, and he’s looking like a game-time call to face the Titans. The Colts play at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, so Hilton’s status will be known that morning.

Robert Tonyan tore his ACL.

This was the fear when Tonyan left in the second half of last night’s win over the Cardinals. While the numbers haven’t necessarily been there for Tonyan this season, he was a key part of the Green Bay offense, and this is obviously a tough break for him personally. Tonyan’s season ends with 18 receptions for 204 yards and two touchdowns in eight games. We wish him a speedy recovery.

Mark Ingram signed a contract extension with the Saints.

As part of Ingram’s return to New Orleans and his trade from Houston, the veteran running back is now also under contract with the team through next season. The Alvin Kamara-Mark Ingram duo should be a key part of the Saints offense—which wants to run the ball more without Drew Brees—through 2022.
