A fantasy sport (also known less commonly as rotisserie or roto) is a type of game, often played using the Internet, where participants assemble imaginary or virtual teams composed of proxies of real players of a professional sport. These teams compete based on the statistical performance of those players in actual games. This performance is converted into points that are compiled and totaled according to a roster selected by each fantasy team’s manager. Today we will discuss about Fantasy Injury Updates: Latest news on Saquon Barkley| Nick Chubb| David Montgomery affecting Week 8 RB rankings.
Fantasy Injury Updates: Latest news on Saquon Barkley| Nick Chubb| David Montgomery affecting Week 8 RB rankings…
The injured reserve list (abbr. IR list) is a designation used in North American professional sports leagues for athletes who become injured and temporarily unable to play. The exact name of the list varies by league; it is known as “injured reserve” in the National Football League (NFL) and National Hockey League (NHL), the “injured list” in the Canadian Football League (CFL), and the injured list (historically known as the “disabled list”) in Major League Baseball (MLB).
Latest news on Saquon Barkley
When you drafted Saquon Barkley before this season, likely in Round 1, you probably had hopes of him anchoring your fantasy football roster with elite RB1 performances. That hasn’t happened. After seemingly being eased back in with a moderate workload, Barkley injured his ankle after only 2 carries in Week 5 and missed Week 6. He has yet to top 16 carries in any game this year and hasn’t reached 60 rushing yards.
The New York Giants have announced that Saquon Barkley will not play this week against the Carolina Panthers.
Nick Chubb
Josina Anderson of USA Today reported that Nick Chubb is expected back when the Browns take on the Steelers this week. Chubb will have missed just two games with a calf injury.
David Montgomery affecting Week 8 RB rankings
Montgomery (knee) is eligible to return from the IR this week, but when he was injured three weeks ago, the return timetable was set between four and five weeks. With so little news coming from Bear’s practice about his condition, we don’t expect him to return. In his absence, rookie Khaleel Herbert has shone, as Damien Williams has missed most of the past two weeks (and one game) due to COVID. Against Tampa Bay, Herbert dismissed Williams from 23 to five and became one of the few rushers to rush more than 100 yards against that strong defense over the past few seasons.
That said, it is time to prioritize Herbert over Williams, and we have placed Herbert in RB28 place in the standard and RB27 in the PPR. They have high ceilings with the usage they are using, but San Francisco still has one of the best front-seven in football. He allowed D’Andre Swift and Jamal Williams to feast in Week 1, but almost all of the work was done in waste time. Aaron Jones and Jonathan Taylor are the two RBs who had real success against them, but we expect the Bears to have problems with their offensive line.
