Tyler Warren Questionable Ahead of Division Clash in Jacksonville

Warren remains questionable heading into Week 8 due to a groin injury that has lingered since mid-October. As the Colts' primary tight end, his availability is critical for an offense seeking to break a three-game losing streak. Groin injuries can easily flare up, so fantasy managers need to check back often for final updates regarding his game-day status.

If cleared, our weekly projection forecasts 11.2 fantasy points on roughly six targets and 42 receiving yards. As 9.5-point road underdogs against Jacksonville, Indianapolis could face a pass-heavy game script, enhancing Warren's target floor. Given that his start rate fell to 37%, he profiles as a risky option with obvious upside if completely healthy.

Michael Penix at Tampa Bay — Surging Efficiency in Division Tilt

Michael Penix is completely past his mid-October rib concern and enters Week 8 on fire after tossing three touchdowns with zero interceptions in a win over the 49ers. With six passing touchdowns over his last two contests, he has demonstrated command of the offense and elevated top targets Drake London and Kyle Pitts.

For this road matchup in Tampa Bay, our projections peg Penix for 15.3 fantasy points on roughly 232 passing yards and 1.5 passing scores. While his near-zero rushing floor limits his ceiling, his razor-sharp form makes him a viable streamer and high-end QB2 for fantasy managers needing bye-week quarterback help.
