Injuries: Jayden Daniels (ribs), Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), Deshaun Watson (Achilles), Derek Carr (oblique), Will Levis (shoulder) and Aidan O’Connell (thumb).

Check to see if available in shallow leagues: Geno Smith (81 percent) and Aaron Rodgers (66 percent). Let’s hope that Smith has DK Metcalf (knee) in Week 8 and beyond since Smith has scored at least 21.8 Fantasy points in three of his past four games and leads the NFL in passing yards. … Rodgers only has one game with more than 16 Fantasy points in his past four outings and has five touchdowns and six interceptions over that span. But his upcoming schedule is beautiful against New England, Houston, Arizona and Indianapolis before a bye in Week 12, and he scored 25 Fantasy points against the Patriots in Week 3 without Davante Adams.

Drop candidates: Anthony Richardson (89 percent rostered), Justin Herbert (69 percent), Justin Fields (50 percent), Daniel Jones (40 percent) and Deshaun Watson (38 percent). Richardson scored 30.1 Fantasy points in Week 1 against Houston. Since then he’s combined for 34.6 Fantasy points in three healthy games. He’s looking like a bust heading into a Week 8 rematch with the Texans, and it’s understandable if you drop him in all 10-team leagues. … Herbert just had a season-high 39 pass attempts and 349 yards at Arizona in Week 7 but failed to score a touchdown. He’s now scored 15.7 Fantasy points or less in every game this season. You can’t trust Herbert in any one-quarterback leagues. … Russell Wilson appears locked into the Steelers’ starting job, which means there’s little reason to roster Fields in any one-quarterback leagues. … Jones may be worth using in road games, where he’s scored at least 22.3 Fantasy points in three outings this season, compared to at home. Jones has scored 11.8 Fantasy points or less in four games at home. He plays at Pittsburgh in Week 8, but you can’t start him there, and the Giants may be forced to use Drew Lock soon if Jones continues to struggle. He’s worth dropping in all one-quarterback leagues.

Add in this order:

Injuries: Christian McCaffrey (calf), Jonathan Taylor (ankle), Aaron Jones (hamstring), Travis Etienne (hamstring), Jerome Ford (hamstring), Jonathon Brooks (knee), Isiah Pacheco (leg), Tyjae Spears (hamstring), Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle), Gus Edwards (ankle) and MarShawn Lloyd (ankle).

Check to see if available in shallow leagues: Alexander Mattison (85 percent rostered), Jonathon Brooks (82 percent) and Ray Davis (80 percent). Mattison kept the lead role for the Raiders in Week 7 at the Rams even though Zamir White was healthy, and Mattison excelled with 123 total yards on 26 total touches. He’s now scored at least 13.4 PPR points in four games this season, and he’s worth using as at least a flex in all leagues if he remains the starter for Las Vegas. … Brooks started practicing prior to Week 7, which means he’s close to making his NFL debut. Hopefully he’s 100 percent healthy following last year’s torn ACL at Texas, and he could emerge as a difference maker to close the season. He should be added in all leagues. … Even though James Cook is healthy, Davis should be rostered in most leagues as a potential lottery ticket. In Week 6 at the Jets with Cook out, Davis scored 18.2 PPR points, and he just scored 11.7 PPR points in Week 7 against the Titans in tandem with Cook.

Drop candidates: Antonio Gibson (70 percent rostered), Ty Chandler (63 percent) and Jerome Ford (62 percent). Gibson wasn’t able to finish Week 7 at Jacksonville with an undisclosed injury, and we’ll see what his status is for Week 8 against the Jets. With Rhamondre Stevenson healthy, Gibson has little value in most leagues, and he only scored 7.3 PPR points in Week 6 against Houston when Stevenson was out with a foot injury. … Aaron Jones was able to play in Week 7 against the Lions despite a hip injury, which left Chandler with just two carries for 4 yards. And now that Cam Akers is on the Vikings, it’s not clear that Chandler is the preferred handcuff should Jones miss any time in the near future. … Ford is dealing with a hamstring injury and missed Week 7 against the Bengals. And with Nick Chubb now healthy, Ford has minimal Fantasy value moving forward in most leagues.

Add in this order:

Injuries: Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (ankle), Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Deebo Samuel (illness), Jauan Jennings (hip), DK Metcalf (knee), Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee), Nico Collins (hamstring), Jakobi Meyers (ankle), Puka Nacua (knee), JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring), Demario Douglas (illness), Quentin Johnston (ankle), DeAndre Hopkins (leg), Brandin Cooks (knee) and Adam Thielen (hamstring)

Check to see if available in shallow leagues: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (85 percent rostered), Wan’Dale Robinson (80 percent), Jerry Jeudy (74 percent), Jakobi Meyers (73 percent), Christian Watson (73 percent), Ladd McConkey (71 percent), Khalil Shakir (71 percent), Romeo Doubs (67 percent) and Keenan Allen (67 percent). Smith-Njigba could benefit in a big way if Metcalf is set to miss any time, and Smith-Njigba has three games in his past six outings with at least 13.1 PPR points. … Robinson just had his worst game of the season in Week 7 against the Eagles with 8.3 PPR points, but he still has five games in a row with at least eight targets and five catches. Even though Daniel Jones is struggling, Robinson should still remain heavily involved in the passing game and should be rostered in all PPR leagues. … Jeudy will hopefully benefit with Jameis Winston taking over at quarterback for the Browns, as well as Amari Cooper now playing for the Bills. … Meyers has missed the past two games with an ankle injury, but hopefully he can return in Week 8. With Davante Adams now playing for the Jets, Meyers is the No. 1 receiver for the Raiders and a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues. … Doubs has scored at least 17.4 PPR points in each of his past two games, and he should be added in all leagues. And I still want to roster Watson even though he only scored 1.5 PPR points in Week 7 against Houston. Prior to that he had 15.8 PPR points in Week 6 against Arizona, and I still believe Watson can be a high-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all formats. … McConkey only scored 9.6 PPR points in Week 7 at Arizona, but he led the Los Angeles receivers in targets (seven) and receptions (five). He has the potential to be a No. 3 PPR receiver for the rest of the season, and he’s worth stashing on your bench where available. … Cooper played his first game with the Bills in Week 7 against Tennessee, and Shakir still had a solid game with seven catches for 65 yards on seven targets. He should continue to be a go-to option for Josh Allen even with Cooper on the roster, and I like Shakir as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues for the rest of the season. … The last time we saw Allen in Week 6 against Jacksonville in London he scored a season-high 21.1 PPR points with five catches for 41 yards and two touchdowns on five targets. Hopefully that’s the start of a big finish for Allen coming off Chicago’s bye in Week 7, and he’s worth adding in all leagues where available.

Drop candidates: Brandon Aiyuk (100 percent rostered), Chris Godwin (99 percent), Calvin Ridley (73 percent), JuJu Smith-Schuster (69 percent), Rashid Shaheed (63 percent), DeAndre Hopkins (61 percent), Darius Slayton (52 percent) and Quentin Johnston (52 percent). It stinks that Aiyuk, Godwin and Shaheed are out for the rest of the season, but you can now drop all three in all redraft leagues. … Ridley and Hopkins have each scored single digits in PPR in all but one game this season. Ridley had 24.7 PPR points in Week 2 against the Jets, and Hopkins had 19.3 PPR points in Week 3 against Green Bay. Other than that, both have struggled as Fantasy options and aren’t worth rostering in the majority of leagues. … We don’t know when Smith-Schuster will return to action, but being ruled out early in Week 8 with his hamstring injury is a bad sign. I would drop him in all 10-team leagues. … Slayton is worth dropping in all leagues while Malik Nabers and Wan’Dale Robinson are healthy. Nabers returned to action in Week 7 against the Eagles after a two-game absence with a concussion, and Slayton had one catch for 11 yards on three targets. … Johnston missed Week 7 at Arizona with an ankle injury, and we don’t know when he’ll return to action. When healthy, Johnston is at best a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues.

Add in this order:

Injuries: George Kittle (foot), Dallas Goedert (hamstring), Taysom Hill (ribs) and T.J. Hockenson (knee).

Check to see if available in shallow leagues: Jake Ferguson (84 percent rostered), Dallas Goedert (83 percent), T.J. Hockenson (81 percent), Tucker Kraft (79 percent), Zach Ertz (75 percent), Pat Freiermuth (75 percent) and Cole Kmet (74 percent). Ferguson should continue to be a top-10 Fantasy tight end all season, and he scored at least 11.9 PPR points in three of his past four games before Dallas’ bye in Week 7. … I’m hopeful Goedert is healthy for Week 8 against the Bengals after he missed Week 7 against the Giants. When healthy, Goedert is a top 12 tight end in all leagues. … Hockenson will hopefully make his 2024 debut in Week 8 against the Rams, and he could be a difference maker to close the season. When healthy, Hockenson can once again be a weekly starter in all leagues. … Kraft has scored at least 12.3 PPR points in three of his past four games, and he’s emerged as a No. 1 Fantasy tight end in all leagues. … Ertz just scored his first touchdown of the season in Week 7 against Carolina, and he now has 10 targets, eight catches, 108 yards and a touchdown in his past two games. … Freiermuth should benefit with Russell Wilson taking over at quarterback for the Steelers, and Freiermuth had two catches for 51 yards on three targets against the Jets in Week 7 in Wilson’s first start. Better games should be coming, and I want to stash Freiermuth if possible in all leagues. … Kmet had a huge game in Week 6 against Jacksonville in London with five catches for 70 yards and two touchdowns on five targets. The Bears have a crowded receiving corps, but Kmet can still be a low-end starting Fantasy option in most leagues. I’m hopeful Chicago keeps Kmet involved in the game plan coming off the Week 7 bye.

Drop candidate: Isaiah Likely (78 percent rostered). There’s always the chance that Likely could score a touchdown, which he did twice in Week 5 at Cincinnati. But he also has six games in a row with four targets or less, and Mark Andrews is starting to get going again for the Ravens. Likely also has six games in a row with 27 yards or less, so clearly he’s touchdown-dependent at this point.
