Emeka Egbuka is ruled out for the Buccaneers' Week 8 clash with Atlanta after missing practice with concussion and foot issues, leaving his fantasy value nil. In his absence, veteran Chris Godwin remains the safer WR option, while Tez Johnson emerges as a deep‑league flex with a season‑high 41 snaps and a touchdown in the run‑heavy win over Carolina. Johnson’s upside hinges on whether Tampa Bay is forced into a passing attack against the Falcons; a grind‑game would limit both receivers. Fantasy owners should drop Egbuka and consider Godwin for stability, with Johnson as a speculative play in deeper formats.

The Detroit Red Wings routed the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 on Oct. 30, 2026, despite the pregame news that Dylan Larkin will leave Detroit.

While Syracuse’s aggressive fourth‑down play and a strong showing from QB Steve Angeli sparked the upset, UNC’s offense still shows promise, ranking 56.7 overall.
