Panthers WR Diontae Johnson officially Out Week 8

Oct 25, 2024

The Panthers ruled out WRs Diontae Johnson (rib) and WR Adam Thielen (hamstring), while QB Andy Dalton (right thumb) is doubtful.

So it'll be Bryce Young throwing to backup receivers on Sunday in Denver.

Related Players: Xavier Legette, Jonathan Mingo, David Moore, Jalen Coker

Fantasy Impact:

It's probably not a good idea to start any Panthers players this week, and that likely includes Chuba Hubbard.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins is listed as questionable for Sunday with a quad injury.
Higgins was limited in practice today and his status will be monitored through the weekend.
Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (knee) and safety Geno Stone (shin) both went full today and do not have a game status.

Related Players: Ja'Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin

Fantasy Impact:

If Higgins misses more time, expect Chase's target share to skyrocket, while Iosivas would once again be an interesting Flex play option.

Chris Olave has been cleared from the concussion protocol

Related Players: Bub Means, Mason Tipton, Cedrick Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

Olave should return to his tole as the WR1, but it still looks like Spencer Rattler will be out there, which slots him somewhere around a fantasy WR3.

Chiefs WR Juju Smith-Schuster officially Out, Deandre Hopkins "likely" In for Week 8

Andy Reid says WR JuJu Smith Schuster (hamstring) and DE Mike Danna (pectoral) won’t play Sunday vs Raiders. Deandre Hopkins likely will play.

Related Players: Xavier Worthy, Mecole Hardman, Justin Watson

Fantasy Impact:

We would put the odds quite high that Hopkins suits up, but it's fair to question how much he'll be involved right out of the gate. He's an interesting desperation play in Week 8, but with no byes, your team would really be banking on a high-risk, moderate-reward outcome. Worthy projects as a fringe WR2/3.
