Panthers Head Into Week 8 Without Andy Dalton, Jonathon Brooks

Sunday, October 27, 3:13 PM

The Carolina Panthers will not have quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) or running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Dalton is inactive after injuring his right thumb during a minor car accident earlier this week. His absence re-inserts Bryce Young into the Panthers starting lineup for Week 8. Meanwhile, Brooks is still on the non-football injury list after Carolina failed to activate him on Saturday. The rookie still has not made his NFL debut. The Panthers must activate him by November 6; if they don't, Brooks won't be able to play this season. Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders will handle most of Carolina's rushing opportunities until Brooks is healthy enough to play.

Trey McBride Is A Locked-In Start In Week 8

Friday, October 25, 1:24 PM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride is a must-start at the position every week moving forward. The Cardinals travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins in Week 8, who have the No. 3 ranked defense against tight ends in fantasy. However, that should not concern fantasy managers, as McBride has emerged as the Cardinals' No. 1 passing option. He leads the team in targets, and that trend is likely to continue as the Cardinals frequently scheme plays for McBride to get the ball. Fantasy managers should have full confidence in McBride for the foreseeable future.
