The Week 8 Sheesh Report: a beyond-the-box-score breakdown of the near-miss opportunities you might have missed if you didn't watch every snap of every game. Ian Hartitz went through touchdowns called back by penalty, players tackled at the one-yard line, the unrealized air yards leaderboard, defensive pass interference, the interception doctor (all 23 Week 8 interceptions, and who was really at fault), and the drops and overthrows that cost six points.
Chase Brown made a truly awesome 20-yard contested touchdown catch, only for it to come off the board on a holding penalty; he is now at 122 touches since his last trip to the end zone. Derrick Henry and Rashee Rice lost scores to flags too. Dalton Kincaid dropped a wide-open 11-yard touchdown, Matthew Golden dropped a potential 24-yarder, and Golden now has 898 unrealized air yards on the season, 215 more than anyone else, plus the league lead in DPI penalties drawn and DPI yards.
Ian calls it the Sheesh Report, because these are the plays that make fantasy managers say exactly that.

Ian Hartitz and Billy Collins run through the full Week 8 fantasy football injury report after Friday's practices: who is good to go, who is questionable and who is out at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end, plus the fantasy fallout from every one of them.
Lamar Jackson is back and not even listed, and Saquon Barkley is set to play Sunday night despite the hamstring and back. Breece Hall, Kenneth Gainwell and TreVeyon Henderson are questionable, RJ Harvey, Brian Robinson and Tyjae Spears are out, and the Seahawks backfield gets crowded with Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price on the way back. At receiver, Rashee Rice and Ladd McConkey return, Stefon Diggs is good to go, DJ Moore, AJ Brown, Jaylen Waddle and Jakobi Meyers are questionable, and Emeka Egbuka, Carnell Tate, DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks are out. Tyler Warren is back at tight end, with Dalton Kincaid, Colston Loveland and Colby Parkinson to watch.
Then the o-line and defensive injuries worth knowing, the Ollie Williams weather report for all three Florida games, and a four-leg Betr slip built with Billy.
