The NBA today looks at lot different than it did back in the Spectrum days.

Last week, Miles Sanders went down just as it appeared he and the Eagles run-adverse offense were turning a corner.

Some very important fantasy football stars are fighting injuries after a Week 8 that saw more than a few backup quarterbacks hit the field. With an entire week ahead before fantasy lineups need to be solidified, a lot of news could change. But it's helpful to stay on top of the latest news so you can make the best decisions when it comes to waiver wire pickups.

Eagles

It would be easy to just shrug off the Eagles' 44-6 dismantling of the now 0-8 Lions as them simply beating down the NFL's worst. After all, the weaknesses and problems this Philly team has struggled with through the first half of the season are far from easy fixes, and with so much ground to make up in the NFC East and wild card races, a win against a crappy team shouldn't make fans suddenly start thinking about playoffs.

With so much draft capital already heading into the 2022 offseason, it would make sense for Howie Roseman and the Eagles front office to do whatever they can to enhance their ability to make a big splash, via the draft, free agency and the trade market, come the spring.

It's Week 8 in the NFL and the obvious suspects will surely be in your fantasy football starting lineup, from Patrick Mahomes to Derek Henry to Calvin Ridley. But what if you have a borderline call? Or what if you are stuck between two middle of the road players and don't know which button to press?

Week 8 is here, and thankfully (and illogically) the NFL has gone from six teams on bye weeks last weekend to just two — the Raiders and Ravens. Which certainly makes things a little easier.

Phillies

If you look at the Phillies starting pitching numbers in totality, you are painted a misleading picture. The starters — all 18 who started a game in 2021 — combine for the seventh best SP WAR, nestled right in between the Giants and Braves, two NL contenders. But then when you consider that nearly all of that WAR stems from Cy Young candidate Zack Wheeler, whose number of 7.6 is nearly an entire win above replacement better than the next highest total (LA's Walker Buehler), it's clear the rotation is top heavy.

Thankfully for fantasy football team owners — many of whom struggled mightily to field an entire roster of playable skill players in Week 7 — there were not a ton of new injuries across the NFL slate. However there were some significant setbacks to key, widely started guys like Patrick Mahomes, Josh Jacobs and Miles Sanders.

Poor Miles Sanders. Just when the Eagles finally decide to start handing him the ball early in a game (he had almost all of his carries last week in the second half), the running back went down with an ankle injury.
