Week 8 FLEX Outlooks for Fantasy Football

Jayden Reed, Green Bay Packers - Fantasy Football Outlook

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (ankle) put in a full practice on Friday after two limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday to be removed from the injury report for the Packers' Week 8 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Reed has been up and down this season and is coming off a down week where he only caught two passes for 10 yards on four targets. Luckily for Reed and the Packers, they'll get a true pass funnel defense in the Jaguars, where Reed should be able to carve them up.

Reed has been used mostly in the short passing game at the line of scrimmage on most of his targets this season, but the hope is that some of the targets he'll receive are deeper, as he's been immensely successful downfield, too. With Jordan Love dominating opposing defenses this season and Reed being his main target, fire up Reed as a low-end WR1 option with massive upside in Week 8.

- Kevin Tompkins, RotoBaller

Tank Dell, Houston Texans - Fantasy Football Outlook

Coming off his worst game of the year, Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is a boom-or-bust flex option in a decent matchup in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts. Fantasy managers who played the 24-year-old receiver last week got crickets: no catches on four targets, including a drop of a would-have-been touchdown.

However, Houston remains committed to keeping him involved, and leading receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) is out for at least two more weeks. The Colts have allowed 10 passing touchdowns in seven games and rank 26th in air yards allowed. Dell believers will feel he's due for a rebound in Week 8, but he comes with obvious risk.

- Nick Piotrowicz, RotoBaller

J.K. Dobbins, Los Angeles Chargers - Fantasy Football Outlook

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins has an excellent matchup in Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints. Dobbins is the overall fantasy RB18 so far this season, and that's even with two real duds in Weeks 3 and 4.

He's averaging just under 93 yards per game, and the Saints' defense has allowed the fourth-most rushing yards and the third-most rushing touchdowns per game so far this season. With the backfield pretty much all to himself, Dobbins is a clear RB1 option with a high floor in this matchup.

- David A. Marcillo, RotoBaller
