  • Kyler Murray QB | ARI

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Leads successful comeback

    Murray completed 26 of 36 pass attempts for 307 yards and two touchdowns while rushing five times for 19 yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins.

    Murray helped erase a nine-point deficit on the road to lift the Cardinals back to .500 on the season. The dual-threat quarterback had his worst rushing total of 2024, but he offset that for fantasy managers by eclipsing 300 passing yards for the first time through eight games. Murray has been a strong fantasy option when healthy over the course of his career, and he looks as healthy as ever heading into next Sunday's home tilt against the Bears.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: Injures groin Sunday

    Love exited Sunday's game at Jacksonville in the third quarter due to a groin injury.

    Love seemed to be favoring his lower body late in the first half and then sustained a hit in the third quarter that forced an early departure. If he's unable to return, Love will finish Week 8 having completed 14 of 22 passes for 196 yards, no touchdowns and one interception and with one carry for minus-1 yard. Malik Willis took over for Love under center.

  • Andy Dalton QB | CAR

    Panthers' Andy Dalton: Inactive in Week 8

    Dalton (thumb) is inactive for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Broncos, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Dalton was already projected to serve as no better than the No. 2 quarterback behind Bryce Young for Sunday's game after the former suffered a thumb sprain during a Tuesday car accident. However, Dalton was never able to get on the practice field during Week 8 prep, making his inactive status fully expected. Undrafted rookie Jack Plummer, who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, will serve as Young's backup Sunday, while Dalton will turn his attention to at least being able to dress for a Week 9 home divisional matchup against the Saints.

  • Jeff Driskel QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jeff Driskel: Emergency QB for Week 8

    Driskel (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Chicago, but he will serve as Washington's emergency quarterback, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    As the emergency quarterback, Driskel will not be eligible to see the field Sunday unless starter Jayden Daniels and backup Marcus Mariota are both injured.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Active in Week 8

    Daniels (ribs) is listed as active Sunday versus the Bears.

    One week removed from lasting just one possession due to a rib injury, Daniels will suit up after being capped to just one limited session (Friday) during Week 8 prep. He'll thus continue to start under center as he and the Commanders take on fellow rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Saints' Derek Carr: Sitting out Sunday

    Carr (oblique) is inactive for Sunday's game at the Chargers, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

    Carr has been tending to an oblique injury since a Week 5 loss at Kansas City, resulting in three straight absences. He hasn't practiced in the meantime, so his activity level in the coming days may be key for his odds to return to action next Sunday in Carolina. Spencer Rattler will continue to start under center for the Saints in Week 8.

  • Drake Maye QB | NE

    Patriots' Drake Maye: Done for day with concussion

    Maye was diagnosed with a concussion after exiting in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Jets and has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest.

    Maye appeared to suffer the head injury when he took a helmet-to-helmet hit during a scramble on the Patriots' third possession. Though he stayed in the game for the remainder of the drive, he gave way to backup Jacoby Brissett on the Patriots' next possession while he headed to the locker room for a concussion test. Brissett will now direct the New England offense for the rest of the day, while Joe Milton -- who is inactive as the emergency third quarterback -- will be the next man up for reps if Brissett is forced to leave the game early. Maye completed three of six pass attempts for 23 yards and carried three times for 46 yards and a touchdown prior to his departure.

  • Drake Maye QB | NE

    Patriots' Drake Maye: Exits Sunday's game

    Maye exited Sunday's game against the Jets in the second quarter due to a head injury.

    Per Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald, Maye took a hit to the back of his helmet during a scramble on the Patriots' third drive of the game, and now the quarterback is questionable to return to action Sunday. Jacoby Brissett has entered the game in place of Maye, who completed three of six passes for 23 yards while adding 46 yards and a touchdown on three carries prior to exiting the contest.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Slated to start Sunday

    Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Daniels (ribs) remains listed as questionable but is slated to start Sunday against the Bears, barring a last-minute setback, Tracy Wolfson of CBS Sports reports.

    Daniels is still planning on going through a pregame workout before the Commanders officially clear him to play when the team releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Due to the rib cartilage injury he sustained early in last week's win over the Panthers, Daniels didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he returned to the field as a limited participant Friday. Quinn told Wolfson that Daniels looked good during that session, and with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network noting that Daniels attended every walk-through session this week, the full playbook should be available for the rookie quarterback Sunday.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Confirmation on status to arrive soon

    Daniels (ribs) remains listed as questionable but will meet with team officials roughly around 12:45 p.m. ET before the Commanders confirm definitively whether or not he'll play Sunday against the Bears, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."

    All reports in the past 24 hours regarding Daniels have been positive in the run-up to the Commanders' 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming team officials are comfortable with Daniels' health coming out of his upcoming meeting, he should get the Week 8 starting nod over Marcus Mariota.
