Fantasy Football Week 8 Injuries: Player Updates Ahead Of NFL Kickoffs

Who's in, and who's out?

Week 8 of the 2020 NFL season has arrived and, unsurprisingly, injuries are piling up across the league.

Consequently, life has been made awfully difficult for many fantasy football managers.

If you want to succeed Sunday, you obviously can’t afford to start a player who isn’t even going to suit up for his team. But staying on top ofthings is easier said than done, especially with many players being true game-time decisions.

Thankfully, we’re here to guide you through another NFL Sunday.

Keep it here for all your relevant fantasy football injury updates ahead of Week 8 kickoffs:

The #Ravens are without RB Mark Ingram today, and they may be without him next week vs. the #Colts as well, source said. It?s more of a high-ankle sprain than a low-ankle sprain and those often cause multi-week absences.

#Broncos RB Phillip Lindsay (concussion) is expected to clear concussion protocol and play, source said, while WR Tim Patrick (hamstring) is pushing to play, but Denver called up another WR on Saturday. That?s generally an indication it?ll be another week for Patrick.

Seahawks? RB Chris Carson, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a foot injury, is expected to test how he feels in pre-game warmups, and one source said it is ?a true 50-50? chance for him be able to play against the 49ers.

#Rams TE Tyler Higbee (hand) is pushing to play against the #Dolphins, but with the bye coming up and Johnny Mundt filling in capably, it might make sense to rest Higbee again and let him heal. Higbee could sit for those reasons.

Saints? WR Emmanuel Sanders, who tested positive over a week ago and is out again today against Chicago, is recovering and expected to rejoin his team this week and play next Sunday at Tampa Bay, per league source.
