Emmanuel Sanders gets five touches against the Chiefs.

Sanders caught four passes (on four targets) for 57 yards and had one carry for -6 yards in the Broncos’ Week 8 loss. The veteran receiver started the game hot with an early 49-yard reception, but he couldn’t get much going after that. He’ll look to have a bigger performance when Denver faces Houston in Week 9.

Tim Patrick catches first career touchdown in Week 8.

Patrick got wide-open in the end zone for a 24-yard touchdown on his lone target of the day for the Broncos, and he also added a 13-yard carry on his lone rushing attempt. It was the third career reception for the rookie receiver, so he’s off the fantasy radar for now, but congrats to him on his first NFL score.

Devontae Booker plays well in Week 8.

Royce Freeman missed this game with an ankle injury, which gave Booker more opportunities behind Phillip Lindsay (18 carries, 95 yards, touchdown). Booker had nine carries for 78 yards and added four receptions (on four targets) for 23 yards against the Chiefs. The 2016 fourth-round pick would be in the PPR FLEX conversation for Week 9 if Freeman misses more time.

Phillip Lindsay gets 21 touches against the Chiefs.

With fellow rookie running back Royce Freeman out, Lindsay basically worked as a workhorse in Denver’s Week 8 loss. Lindsay carried 18 times for 95 yards and a touchdown and added three receptions for 17 yards. Devontae Booker (13 touches) also received a good amount of work and ran the ball well, but Lindsay was the clear leader in the backfield, as expected. Lindsay’s score came by the goal line, as he continues to show toughness as a runner in between the tackles. If Freeman misses another game, Lindsay will be stronger than a FLEX option for Week 9 against Houston.

Case Keenum throws two touchdowns in Broncos’ loss.

Keenum was 23/34 for 262 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, and one fumble lost. He also added one cary for nine yards. The Chiefs did a good job of pressuring Keenum throughout the game, and they sacked him five times for -40 yards. The veteran quarterback’s touchdowns were to Jeff Heuerman for four yards and a wide-open Tim Patrick for 24 yards. Keenum has some upside next week against a banged-up Texans secondary, but he’s not a highly-recommended fantasy option.

David Johnson has returned for the Cardinals.

Johnson was evaluated for a concussion, but he’s back in the game for Arizona as they look to go ahead with a touchdown. Less than 90 seconds remain in regulation.

Sony Michel (knee) has been ruled out for Week 8.

Michel was listed as doubtful and presumably didn’t make the trip to Buffalo with the team. It’ll be James White leading New England’s backfield tomorrow night, but Kenjon Barner could also get a lot of work and is worth a look in fantasy lineups as a FLEX option. Michel was able to be limited in yesterday’s practice, so perhaps he’ll be ready to go for next Sunday night against the Packers.
