Fantasy News

Robby Anderson (ankle) is inactive versus the Bears.

Anderson was listed as doubtful when the injury report was released, so this was expected. Expect Jermaine Kearse to be the top wide receiver for Sam Darnold against Chicago.

Paul Richardson (shoulder/knee) is active for Week 8.

After missing one game, Richardson is back for the Redskins. He’s probably not at 100%, but Richardson’s presence is an obvious boost for Alex Smith and the offense. Consider Richardson a weak FLEX option in his first game back.

Chris Thompson (rib/knee) is active against the Giants.

Thompson missed the last two games with rib and knee injuries, but he’s back in the lineup for the Redskins. This gives Alex Smith arguably his top target back, so it’s a boost for the 4-2 Redskins and their offense. Thompson is a FLEX option for Week 8.

Allen Robinson II (groin) is inactive for Week 8.

Robinson was listed as questionable after just one limited practice on Friday during the week, so this isn’t a surprise after he was limited during last week’s loss to the Patriots. The hope is that Robinson will be ready to play next week after one game off, but he’ll have a tough matchup with Tre’Davious White and the Bills assuming he plays in Week 9.

Pierre Garcon (shoulder, knee) has been ruled out for Week 8.

Garcon did not make the trip to San Francisco and has been declared out. He was listed as doubtful, so this was expected. Meanwhile, rookie receiver Dante Pettis is returning for the lineup for the first time in nearly a month and is a solid option in deeper leagues.

The Seahawks activated Ed Dickson to the active roster.

Dickson missed the first six games of the season and was on the non-football injury list while dealing with soft tissue injuries, but he’s set to make his Seahawks debut tomorrow against the Lions. The former Ravens and Panthers tight end might eventually work his way into the clear top tight end for the Seahawks and a solid fantasy option, but he’s not a recommended play in Week 8 as the team works him back into things.

Jacob Hollister (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 8.

Hollister was limited in practice during the week, but he’s been ruled out already and presumably will not make the trip to Buffalo with the team. The good news for the Patriots is Rob Gronkowski (ankle/back) is listed as questionable for the game and is expected to play barring a setback. But if Gronkowski is out, it’ll be Dwayne Allen leading New England at tight end against the Bills.
