Following the release of most team's initial Week 8 injury reports, several key pa s-catchers, including Tyreek Hill, Tyler Lockett, T.J. Hockenson, and Joshua Palmer, logged "DNPs" to start the practice week. While Wednesday can serve as a de facto "off-day" for veterans like the pa s-catchers mentioned above, it's never a good sign to see impactful players pop up with ailments to begin practice week.Below, we'll give you the latest news on these pa s catchers and break down how their injuries could potentially affect the Week 8 fantasy landscape.For updates on ailing RBsDavid Montgomery,Kenneth Walker III,Zack Mo s, andRaheem Mostert,; Gene Upshaw Jersey for the latest on hurting QBs Brock Purdy, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Daniel Jones,.WEEK 8 FANTASY ADVICE: | | | UPDATE:According to , Hill Sam Young Jersey (hip) is back at practice on Thursday. Fantasy owners can now breathe a sigh of relief, as the fantasy WR1 is on track to suit up in Week 8.Hill (hip) was a surprise "DNP" during the, putting the receiving leader and fantasy WR1 on track to get hit with a "questionable" tag ahead of Sunday's home tilt against the Patriots.Hill's fellow wideout, Jaylen Waddle,on Hill's status for Week 8, saying, "That's above my pay grade." It seems unlikely Hill will return to practice on Thursday, but if he can log a limited se sion at least today or tomorrow, he has a chance to play this Sunday. However, if Hill can't go, Waddle will see a significant boost in his Week 8 ranking alongside receivers Cedrick Wilson and Braxton Berrios.WEEK 8 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Lockettwith a hamstring injury. The steady veteran popped up on Marquel Lee Jersey Seattle's Week 7 injury report with the same injury and ended up suiting up in Week 7, so fantasy owners should remain optimistic about his Week 8 prospects. That said, another "DNP" on Thursday likely leads to Lockett getting labeled "questionable" ahead of Sunday's home contest against the Browns.If Lockett's hamstring injury forces him to mi s Week 8, DK Metcalf, who returned to practice in full after mi sing last week's game, figures to see plenty of work operating as Geno Smith's go-to wideout. Rookies Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Jake Bobo, who both hauled in receiving TDs in Week 7, will also see upticks in usage.WEEK 8 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | UPDATE:Hockenson was a in practice on Thursday.Hockenson (foot)to start the practice week. Hockenson briefly exited Monday night's win over San Francisco after suffering an apparent lower-body injury, and a "DNP" to begin the practice week complicates his Week 8 status. Ultimately, we're not too worried yet since Minnesota played on Monday night last week, and it's customary for banged-up veterans to get the following Charles Woodson Jersey Wednesday off.A Vikings offense down Justin Jefferson (hamstring) and potentially Hockenson doesn't bode well in their prospects of securing a road in Green Bay this week, but it's still too early to gauge Hockenson's playing status. If Hockenson can't go, fellow TE Josh Oliver will see a boost in his snap Alec Ingold Jersey share and be a legit streaming considering in deep leagues. Wideouts Jordan Addison and K.J. Osborn could be force-fed targets, making both at least flexes.WEEK 8 DFS: | | | Palmer (knee)Following a strong five-catch, 133-yard effort in Week 7, the last thing the Chargers need is their de facto No. 2 receiver watching Week 8 from the sidelines.If Palmer's knee injury forces him to mi s Week 8, look for rookies Quentin Johnston and Derius Davis to see an uptick in snap share, giving both deeper-league flex appeal against an exploitable Bears' pa s defense.
