Miles Sanders (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday night.

Sanders not even going into the weekend as questionable isn’t a great sign, but hopefully the bye week will allow him to heal up for the second half of the year. Boston Scott will draw another start against Dallas and is a top-15 option in all formats.

N’Keal Harry (concussion) ruled out for Week 8.

Harry will join Julian Edelman (knee) on the sideline, so New England’s receiving corps is extremely thin. Look for Damiere Byrd to be the top option, and Jakobi Meyers should also see more snaps on Sunday.

Michael Thomas (hamstring/ankle) has been ruled out for Week 8.

This was expected despite limited practice for Thomas, and fantasy owners—missing him since the opener—will be without their WR1 for at least one more week. Tre’Quan Smith will operate as the team’s top receiver on Sunday, but the matchup against Chicago downgrades him from low-end WR2/FLEX status to volatile FLEX range.

Allen Robinson (concussion) was downgraded to doubtful for Week 8.

It is now very likely that Robinson will be out on a short week (having just played on Monday night), but at least fantasy owners have some added clarity with Chicago playing in the late-afternoon slate this weekend. If Robinson does indeed sit, both Darnell Mooney and Anthony Miller would see boosts as upside FLEX options.

The Patriots have officially listed Damien Harris (ankle) as questionable for Week 8.

Harris was limited in practice all week, but we think he’ll be ready to go for Sunday against the Bills. New England tends to utilize the questionable tag liberally when players are at less than 100%, especially with no “probable” designation available to utilize.

Andy Dalton (concussion) is officially doubtful for Week 8.

Ben DiNucci is fully expected to start on Sunday night with first place in the NFC East on the line, but there are probably better fantasy options to consider despite the weapons Dallas has. Hopefully Dalton can get cleared before Week 9 against the Steelers.

Mark Ingram (ankle) is doubtful for Week 8.

It was reported prior to the bye that Ingram wasn’t expected to miss time, but he likely will, so the Ravens should lean on Gus Edwards and rookie J.K. Dobbins this week against Pittsburgh. If you need the roster space, Ingram can probably be dropped, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if Dobbins turned into a difference-maker down the stretch.
