Bills RB James Cook expected to practice

Aug 12, 2025

Bills HC Sean McDermott tells reporters he’s confident that RB James Cook will practice today noting "things have changed.”

Fantasy Impact:

There were no specifics as to what has changed exactly, but one can speculate his hold-out or hold-in is - hopefully - over. Cook wants a new deal and missed several practices and also declined to play in the team's last preseason game.

Texans WRs Nico Collins, Christian Kirk both Out Week 8

The Texans ruled out WRs Nico Collins and Christian Kirk for Sunday vs. San Francisco.

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like Houston is going to have to feature their two rookie WRs, whether they like it or not. We don't have to like it in fantasy, though, and there are better WR rooms to attack in Week 8.

49ers QB Brock Purdy, WR Ricky Pearsall officially Out Week 8

49ers ruled out Brock Purdy (toe) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) for Sunday’s game at Houston.

Mac Jones starts again.

Fantasy Impact:

The 49ers passing attack has been quite conservative with Jones on the field, so it would be a stretch to consider him a QB streamer against the Texans' defense. Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne are both in the WR3/4 fringe.

Commanders WRs Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel on track to return Week 8

Commanders WRs Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. were full participants in practice again today and are on track to return to action Monday night at Kansas City.

Related Players: Chris Moore, Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey

Fantasy Impact:

Great news for the wide receivers, but they will get a talent downgrade with Marcus Mariota, and they face a tough Chiefs defense. Put them both in WR3 consideration this week.
