McVay hints that there will be Rams starters “who won’t play at all” on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

The Rams are locked into a No. 3 or a No. 4 seed, which means they won't have a first-round bye.

Panthers QB Bryce Young (high ankle sprain) to miss time

Pro Football Talk

3 minutes ago

Bryce Young was not able to finish Sunday’s win for the Panthers and now he is unlikely to suit up for Week 8.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, Young is expected to miss next Sunday’s game against the Bills with a high-ankle sprain.

Related players: Andy Dalton

Fantasy Impact:

Dalton will get the start against the Bills. Young has been playing better since the start of the season and has been supported by a very good running game as of late. It will be a tough game against the Bills but Dalton at least has some streaming value in deeper QB leagues. The story added while the return timetable for Young's injury is usually 2-to-4 weeks, it’s currently unclear how long Young will be out.

Dolphins say no changes 'at this time'

Big change seem inevitable for the 1-6 Miami Dolphins. No changes reportedly are coming today.

Ian Rapoport of NFL media reports that no changes are expected “at this time” from owner Stephen Ross. As explained on Sunday’s Football Night in America, Ross intended before the season began to give coach Mike McDaniel and G.M. Chris Grier the full year before making decisions about the future.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say Sunday’s loss to the Browns becomes the low point in a lost season for the Dolphins. With Ross taking heavy flak from Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald and with a customer base potentially on the verge of revolt or (even worse) full-blown apathy, it’s going to be hard to justify doing nothing, the story added. With a Week 8 game at Atlanta followed by a short-week visit from the Ravens, it’s likely that no changes will be made until after the Thursday night contest against Baltimore.

Jets not yet naming starting QB

Aaron Glenn says he hasn't decided on his QB yet.

Related players: Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor

Fantasy Impact:

Taylor came on to replace Fields in the second half of Sunday's game. He was just 10 for 22 for 126 yards and also threw two interceptions. But Fields again struggled in Week 7 after netting minus-10 yards in Week 6. The team was without Garrett Wilson at WR but Sunday's loss to the Panthers showed there may not be much of a difference between Fields and Taylor. It's a fantasy situation to stay far away from at this point as rumors circulate of a Jets trade deadline fire sale as well.
