Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (ribs) will officially play and start against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The rookie phenom was questionable heading into the day, and it looks like he's feeling good enough to start against a solid Bears defense. This also means we'll get to see the first and second-overall picks go head-to-head. Daniels still has QB1 value and should be a quality start for fantasy managers that were waiting on his status.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Harrison Bryant (elbow) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing three consecutive practices. Bryant hasn't been on the fantasy radar this year, but he has been playing well with five catches and 43 yards over the last two weeks. John Samuel Shenker, who is still searching for his first career target, will back up Brock Bowers in Week 8.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (abdomen) is officially active for Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. This will be Meyers' first game of the season without Davante Adams on the roster, but he did play two games when Adams was inactive earlier this year. In those two games, Meyers caught 11 passes for 121 yards and zero touchdowns. He should see significant volume as the Raiders' No. 1 receiver this week, but he's nothing more than a low-end WR3/FLEX versus a strong Chiefs defense.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) was originally listed as doubtful heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. He has now been deemed inactive which will move Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett into the top two receiver spots. Jake Bobo will also likely see some snaps and targets while the Seahawks may be playing from behind against a solid Bills offense. Metcalf's status will be something to monitor next week as they have one more game right before their bye.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye (head) left Sunday's game against the New York Jets with a head injury in the first half. He was originally ruled questionable to return, but has since been downgraded and will not come back in this contest. He leaves after throwing 3-for-6 for 23 yards and taking three carries for 46 yards and a touchdown. Jacoby Brissett will take over for the rest of the game which means the fantasy ceiling for the passing game will likely take a hit.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hamstring) has now been listed as questionable to return to Sunday's contest as he deals with a hamstring injury that he picked up in the second quarter. The Buccaneers are already dealing with a thin receiver corps, so they'll now have to rely on fewer pass-catchers. Cade Otton will be even more important while Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer will be the top two receivers unless Shepard returns.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder) has been deemed questionable to return Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. The veteran pass-catcher left in the second quarter with a shoulder issue and hasn't received the green light to go back into the game. Christian Kirk and Brian Thomas Jr. should see more opportunities while both of them have broken off some longer plays in this matchup already.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye (head) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the New York Jets and is officially questionable to return. The No. 3 overall pick looked solid before departing in Week 8 as he racked up 23 passing yards, 46 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown. He also took one sack. Maye suffered the injury while taking a head-to-head hit from a Jets defender at the end of a run. Jacoby Brissett has entered the game and will remain the Patriots' quarterback until Maye is cleared to return.

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels (ribs) is expected to start barring a late setback according to Tracy Wolfson of CBS Sports. Wolfson reported that head coach Dan Quinn feels "really good where Jayden is at" and should be in line to start barring a pregame setback. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to kickoff in case he faces a setback. If the rookie standout is able to play he should be locked into all lineups as a high-end QB1. If not, Marcus Mariota should be viewed as a solid QB2 in Superflex formats.

Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt (ankle) will play in Week 8 according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Wyatt has been sidelined since Week 5 with an ankle injury but was able to log three limited practice sessions this week. Fantasy managers should expect Wyatt to return to his starting role on the defensive line going forward. During the first four games he tallied ten tackles (eight solo) with three sacks. The 26-year-old should bolster the Green Bay pass rush going forward.

Atlanta Falcons defensive back Antonio Hamilton (back) will not suit up in Week 8 when the Falcons face their division rival, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Hamilton logged three limited practice sessions during the week but is unable to suit up on Sunday afternoon. Hamilton has been deployed in a depth role this season and has only tallied four total tackles. As a result, fantasy managers should expect A.J. Terrell and Mike Hughes to operate as the starting defensive backs this afternoon.

From RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Greg Gaines (calf) and safety Tykee Smith (concussion) are listed as inactive for Sunday's tilt against the Atlanta Falcons. Gaines logged a limited practice on Thursday but was downgraded to a non-participant on Friday with a calf injury. Smith entered concussion protocol in Week 7 and has been unable to pass the necessary steps during the week. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Vita Vea, Calijah Kancey, and C.J. Brewer to see most of the snaps on the defensive line and Jordan Whitehead and Christian Izien should see most of the work at safety.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (right shoulder) is inactive for Week 8 against the Detroit Lions. He was listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week. With Levis sidelined, the Titans will roll out Mason Rudolph as their starting quarterback for the second consecutive week. Last Sunday, he completed a respectable 62.5 percent of his passes for 215 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Ball security was an issue as he finished with three fumbles, including one recovered by the defense. Moving forward, Rudolph falls outside the top 24 fantasy quarterbacks.

Arizona Cardinals defensive back Sean Murphy-Bunting (neck) and defensive tackle Roy Lopez (ankle) will not suit up in Week 8 to face the Miami Dolphins. Bunting was unable to practice all week due to a neck injury he suffered in last week's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Lopez was also unable to practice all week. Both defenders will hope to return in Week 9 to face the Chicago Bears. As a result, Starling Thomas, Garrett Williams, and Max Melton will see most of the snaps at cornerback while Khyiris Tonga will start at defensive tackle.

From RotoBaller

The Miami Dolphins have declared DB Kader Kohou, C Andrew Meyer, CB Storm Duck, TE Tanner Conner, RB Jeff Wilson Jr., LB Mohamed Kamara and DL Zach Sieler inactive for Week 8.

Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (foot) is officially active for the Week 8 game.

Fantasy Spin: Hill was added to the injury report during the week but has been cleared to play against the Arizona Cardinals. His numbers should improve significantly with Tua Tagovailoa back in the lineup and should be a starting option in all leagues.

From TheHuddle

Atlanta Falcons defensive back Justin Simmons (hamstring) will not suit up on Sunday according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Simmons logged two limited practice sessions earlier in the week but was downgraded to a non-participant on Friday. The 30-year-old safety will now set his sights on returning in Week 9 to face the Dallas Cowboys. Through seven games, Simmons has tallied 28 total tackles with one interception. As a result, IDP managers should expect Richie Grant to see an uptick in snaps.

New England Patriots safety Kyle Dugger (ankle) and linebacker Josh Uche (coach's decision) are both inactive for Week 8 against the New York Jets. Dugger had logged two consecutive full practices to end the week but presumably suffered some sort of setback early in the weekend, making him unavailable to play versus the Jets. He has been one of the Patriots' most impactful defenders this year, amassing 33 tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble through five games. Jaylinn Hawkins should see more opportunities in his absence. Uche being sidelined is a little more curious as he wasn't on the injury report. The 26-year-old has registered 13 tackles and two sacks this year. His absence could be related to trade chatter as Uche has reportedly garnered interest from other teams. However, it could also be performance-based; the young defender played a season-low 11 percent of snaps last weekend and failed to register a tackle.

Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker (concussion) will not play in Week 8 when the Green Bay Packers face the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 24-year-old has been dealing with a concussion and was unable to pass through the league's protocol before the game. However, he was able to log two limited practice sessions on Thursday and Friday which suggests he may able to return next weekend. Through seven games this season, Walker has tallied 52 tackles (39 solo) and 1.5 sacks. As a result, Isaiah McDuffie should see an uptick in opportunities.

From RotoBaller

The Houston Texans have declared LB Azeez Al-Shaair, WR Steven Sims, SS Jimmie Ward, CB Myles Bryant, LB Henry To'oTo'o and OG Nick Broeker inactive for Week 8.
