- Jonah Coleman was on injured reserve for four games because of an ankle injury before leading Denver's backs in Week 7 with nine carries for 54 yards and two catches for 15 yards on two targets against Arizona; Sean Payton said the Broncos “got to get him (Coleman) more touches. Definitely.” The column recommends adding him for at least 25% of remaining FAAB and using him as a Week 8 flex against Kansas City.
- Rachaad White was on bye in Week 7 but has at least three more games as the Commanders' lead running back while Jacory Croskey-Merritt remains on injured reserve with a groin injury; he will share touches with Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols until Croskey-Merritt returns to action. In Week 6 against San Francisco, White had seven carries for 27 yards, four catches for 30 yards and a touchdown on five targets; the column recommends adding him for at least 20% of remaining FAAB.
- CBS Sports roster data places Coleman at 68%-69% and White at 72%, above the column's stated 65% cutoff; both are framed as availability checks for shallow leagues, with the article saying they are widely available on other platforms.
- Kirk Cousins will remain the Raiders' starting quarterback for Week 8 against the Jets, and the column calls him a low-end Fantasy starter after he scored at least 22.5 fantasy points in five of his past six games.
- Aaron Rodgers is a low-end starter option in deeper leagues for the Week 8 rematch with Cleveland after scoring at least 20.1 fantasy points in each of his previous four games, including 27.9 against the Browns in Week 4; he posted 15.1 against New Orleans in Week 7.
- Rico Dowdle ran for 41 yards on nine carries and added six catches for 45 yards on six targets against New Orleans in Week 7; the column keeps him in play as a flex option in all leagues.
- Emanuel Wilson is in play as a borderline starter in all leagues if Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price remain out against Chicago, after he scored at least 13.2 PPR points in three of his past four games.
Why it matters: Auction-league managers face a concrete FAAB tradeoff: the column recommends committing at least 25% of remaining FAAB to Coleman and 20% to White. With four teams on bye and a long injury list, those allocations leave less currency for the other adds in a crowded Week 8 market.
