Josh Allen Remains Must Start at Carolina Week 8

Saturday, October 25, 1:54 PM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen remains a must-start QB1 option despite a tough Week 8 matchup against a top-10 Carolina Panthers defense. Allen has eclipsed the 20-point mark in four of six games this season, proving his worth as the most consistent quarterback in the league. Allen managed 17.4 fantasy points in his last game, against the Falcons, who allow the second-fewest points to opposing quarterbacks. Allen remains a matchup-proof option the rest of the way, with a high floor due to his scrambling ability.

NFL to Review Practice "Situation" Surrounding Lamar Jackson

Saturday, October 25, 8:21 PM

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the NFL will review the "practice and participation situation" surrounding Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring). He was initially listed as a full participant at practice on Friday, implying there was a chance he would be active in Week 8 versus the Chicago Bears. However, after the signal-caller was ruled out on Saturday, the designation was retroactively modified from "full" to "limited." The Ravens denied any malicious intent, indicating that Jackson was a full participant, although after speaking with the league office, his status was changed since he didn't take reps with the starters. Rapoport added that the NFL "reviews any matter involving a change to a player's status," suggesting there may not be anything more to this story. Still, it's something to monitor moving ahead. As of now, Jackson is expected to suit up for the Week 9 matchup with the Miami Dolphins, with Tyler Huntley taking over under center against the Bears.
