NY Giants trade for Jonathan Taylor with Colts reportedly faces key obstacle after Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner left Indianapolis

The Indianapolis Colts have begun a mid‑season shake‑up, trading guard Quenton Nelson to Seattle and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to San Francisco, but they draw a firm line at running back Jonathan Taylor. NFL insider Adam Schefter says ownership still views the 27‑year‑old All‑Pro as a franchise cornerstone and has no intention of moving him, despite the Giants' interest and their need for backfield help after Tyrone Tracy Jr. lands on IR. Unless the Colts change course, New York’s trade‑deadline options for a star rusher remain limited.

Nets’ Egor Demin ruled out for rest of Celtics game with concerning injury

Despite starting 0-3, the Brooklyn Nets should show some fight with two-time All-NBA selection Julius Randle and 2023 NBA champion Michael Porter Jr. leading the way. The youth movement is most important, however. This franchise needs its young players to progress this season, but that probably cannot happen unless they are on the court. Egor […] The post Nets’ Egor Demin ruled out for rest of Celtics game with concerning injury appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Greg Dulcich Fantasy Risk vs. Reward Week 8

Greg Dulcich emerges as a low‑risk Week 8 fantasy streamer after posting a career‑high 5 catches for 86 yards in Miami’s 28‑25 win over the Jets. He led the Dolphins in receptions, yards and targets (five), averaging 17.2 yards per catch and snapping 42 of 65 offensive plays. Through six games he has 18 receptions for 213 yards but no touchdowns. With a similar target load against New England, he could provide modest TE upside in deeper leagues, though his role remains secondary in a spread passing attack.

Frustrations Grow: No Kyle Monangai at Practice

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai skips Tuesday's media-open walk‑through, leaving his Week 8 availability against Seattle in doubt. The 24‑year‑old has missed the last three games with toe and thumb injuries but has already logged 324 rushing yards and three TDs in four appearances, including a 146‑yard effort versus the Jets. He may return to practice later this week, but the first official injury report isn’t due until Thursday. With D’Andre Swift leading the backfield and Roschon Johnson handling change‑of‑pace duties, fantasy owners should treat Monangai as a risky play until his status is confirmed.
