Week 8 outlook

Flex in 12-team leagues · Bench in 10-team

Projected 8.3 PPR points (7.9 half-PPR, 7.5 standard) at DET, RB36 this week. 2026: 15 carries and 1 targets per game over 2 games (4.2% target share), 127 total yards, 1 TD. That is up from 2025, when he averaged 10.9 carries plus targets per game (8.1 PPR per game over 16 games, finished RB36). DET has allowed fewer fantasy points to RBs than average.

Injury status as of Sun, Nov 1, 9:14 AM ET. Official inactives come out about 90 minutes before kickoff — check them before you lock your lineup.

The desk on him

Drop Jordan Mason before the bandwagon fills up on carries alone

15 carries and 59 yards look like a lead-back workload, but 0 targets and a 0% target share strip out anything resembling receiving value, and last season he averaged only 1 target a game anyway. People are going to add him off the carry total; I'd rather be the one selling into that. Cut him for a name with an actual third-down role.
