Marshawn Lynch has been suspended one game.

Lynch inexcusably ran out onto the field to try and defense Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters and shoved an official in the process. The veteran running back won’t be able to play against his first team, the Bills, if the suspension is upheld. Lynch has three business days to appeal the suspension, which he’ll likely do—but don’t count on the suspension being overturned. Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington would split the work in Week 8, and they are both in FLEX consideration.

JuJu Smith-Schuster scores against the Bengals.

Smith-Schuster got behind the defense and was wide open on a 31-yard touchdown in the Steelers’ win, and he had two receptions for 39 yards and the touchdown overall in the game. JuJu also had a very original touchdown celebration, as he and Le’Veon Bell acted like they were playing hide-and-seek, with Smith-Schuster counting while Bell hid behind the goal post. The rookie is up to three touchdown this season, and we should be seeing a lot more celebrations in the future for the 20-year-old playmaker.

Keenan Allen (shoulder) is questionable for Week 7.

Allen suddenly didn’t practice today after being limited yesterday, so his shoulder might be an issue for Sunday. The Chargers play at 4:25 PM ET, so you need to make sure you have backup plans from the later games in case Allen is inactive. Already in a difficult matchup with Denver, Allen should be downgraded from his normal WR1/WR2 status this week while dealing with the injury.

Julio Jones caught three passes for 74 yards in Sunday’s win over the Jets.

It was a rainy game, but Julio owners are probably still disappointed. That said, he was at least targeted in the end zone again, which will inevitably lead to more touchdowns if it keeps happening. Also, his 53-yard reception against New York was easily his longest of the season. We would expect the big plays and scores to become for frequent for Julio, and he remains a top-two option with Antonio Brown. The Falcons take on the Panthers next; Jones had a 300-yard game against them in 2016.

Melvin Gordon (shoulder) is officially questionable for Sunday.

Gordon was limited in practice all week, but there really isn’t much question whether he’ll play. There is no probable injury designation anymore, so a questionable tag is more common today. The Chargers do play Denver in the late-afternoon games, which is a bit of an issue, but Gordon is fully expected to be ready to go.

Tyler Kroft gets six targets in Week 8.

Kroft caught five of the six targets versus Indianapolis, gaining 46 yards. Next week against the Jaguars, Kroft will continue to work as a streaming option or bye-week fill in with upside.

Nick Boyle catches four passes in Week 8.

Boyle was targeted in the flat off play-action and bootlegs, catching all four targets for 29 yards. He’s a good contributor to the Ravens, but Boyle isn’t a reliable fantasy option right now.
