Fantasy Football News: Kenneth Walker III, Tyreek Hill, Kyler Murray

At this point of the season, fantasy football managers are having to pay extra attention to injury reports. Most teams are dealing with injuries and how much, or how little, players are practicing is a good indication if they will be available for this week.

This week is no different as a number of top players at their positions could miss Week 8 while this week could also mark the return of a former first overall pick for the first time this season.

Tyreek Hill says he is playing in Week 8 against the New England Patriots

The biggest news this week was around Tyreek Hill and a hip injury that kept him out of practice on Wednesday. This was surprising and for anyone with Hill on their roster, it would be a big absence this week as he is easily the highest scorer at the position.

However, on Thursday the Dolphins wide receiver provided good news and said that he is fine and will be playing on Sunday against the Patriots, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. As long as he is active, he is a must-start and has a good chance to once again be the highest scoring player at wide receiver.
