Miles Sanders injury updateUPDATE:Sanders mi sed practice again on Thursday.UPDATE 2:Sanders has been placed on the IR and will be out until at least Week 11.Sanders (ankle) is considered week-to-week, so it's no surprise . In fact, it would be a shock if he takes the practice field in any capacity this week. We fully expect him to be out, but it's not official yet.If he is out, Kenneth Gainwell is the player with the most upside and presumably the safest floor, but Boston Scott and Jordan Howard are also candidates to take on some work. Those two have the potential to frustrate Gainwell owners, but for now, it's worth taking the gamble and inserting Gainwell into your starting lineup. Against a generous Lions' defense, we rank Gainwell as the and WEEK 8 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Nick Chubb injury updateUPDATE:Chubb is not on the Browns' final injury report, indicating he'll be good to go for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.Chubb (calf) is reportedly , barring any setbacks in practice. We're treating his status as if he'll be ready to go, but we'll make adjustments to our rankings and update this post if something goes south. However, this is a tricky spot for Chubb.

game-time decision, and since this is the last game of the week, everyone else except for Giants and Chiefs players will be locked. Devontae Booker is presumably already rostered in most leagues, so if you don't already own him, you won't be able to pick him up. The only saving grace from a zero-point dud in your RB spot would be picking up Jerick McKinnon, but he's not guaranteed any kind of workload. Ideally, you want to make a decision before Sunday, so keep up with status updates. If Barkley is in your flex spot, you'll have more pivot options.WEEK 8 DFS LINEUPS: | | If Barkley does play, we're going to a sume New York is confident he's healthy. It wouldn't make a lot of sense to play him at all if he's limited, so we rank him as the and against one of the league's worst defenses.However, the chance still exists that he could be limited or on a snap count, so proceed at your own risk.
