Top 10 Fantasy Football Busts for Week 8

2025 Fantasy Football Matchups and Start/Sit
Weekly fantasy football matchups analysis, including start/sit advice for lineups in both seasonal and DFS leagues.

Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 8 Lineups

Week 7 of the 2020 season seemed to be the week of the fill-in player in fantasy leagues. Players like Baker Mayfield, Jeff Wilson, and Cole Beasley all came into the week as looked over players. But they turned solid matchups into positive fantasy performances. Sure, those household names continue to play a major part […]


WR/CB Matchups to Target & Avoid - Week 8

With six or seven games of data for each team, situations are becoming more crystalized and teams are game-planning to exploit clear-cut coverage weaknesses. Compiling this data and writing this article each week has made it clear that a WR's talent and target share are more important than his opposition. With that said, fantasy managers […]


Week 8 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 7 was relatively successful with seven correctly predicted top-10 defenses after the Los Angeles Rams strong effort on Monday night. Washington was a close call as they made my top-12, but I never thought the Cowboys offense would fall off the cliff as steeply as it did on Sunday, and both Arizona and Jacksonville […]

Week 8 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

We’ve made it to Week 8. Everyone pour one out because the NFL season is nearly half over. We’ve seen more injuries to star players than I think we’ve ever come across before. Defenses continue to struggle to stop opposing offenses, and kickers are benefiting in a massive way thus far. We’ve now seen back-to-back […]


NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 8) - Targets and Avoids

Last week had the feel some underdogs would come through knocking remaining entrants of survivor pools in half. But that wasn't the case. Underdogs went 8-5 against the spread with four outright upsets. The biggest was the Cardinals +3.5 beating the Seahawks. The Chargers gave many remaining entrants a scare when they fell behind in […]

Lies, Damned Lies, and Fantasy Statistics - TD Rate

Over the last couple of weeks, this column has focused on the critical positions of running back and wide receivers. Now, it's time to give quarterbacks their due. It has been easier than ever to stick with the QB you drafted because, other than the tragic Dak Prescott injury, most have gone through the season […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 8

We had the pleasure of watching tremendous matchups for both fantasy and reality in Week seven. With a multitude of tight games (Pittsburgh-Tennessee, Seattle-Arizona, Cleveland-Cincinnati) and individual fantasy explosions (Devante Adams, Tyler Lockett), last week had it all. Week eight starts with one of the best Thursday Night Matchups of the season for fantasy purposes. […]

How Much Attention Should We Give WR/CB Matchups?

Depending on who you ask, you will get widely varying answers. Some fantasy GMs pay attention to opposing defenses as a whole, while others try to get a step further but looking at individual cornerback matchups. After a time in which I had not paid much attention to those individual battles, I just wanted to […]


Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Rams vs Bears

After salivating over the high scoring potential of fast-paced offenses last week, Week 7’s Monday night matchup feels downright underwhelming. The Bears (5-1) and Rams (4-2) both come in with winning records and early season playoff aspirations. Both teams feature stout defenses, so this game may be more of a slugfest than a shootout. However, […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 7

The Week 6 wide receiver matchup article featured Justin Jefferson who finished as the No. 1 wide receiver on the week after absolutely exploding against the Falcons Defense. Will Fuller went over 100 yards and scored again, finishing as the No. 3 wide receiver while Kenny Golladay was only targeted six times but he still had […]


Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 7 Lineups

Week 6 in the NFL brought what may be one of the cleanest weeks of action to begin the season. With no catastrophic injuries affecting teams for the remainder of the year, the play on the field seemed to settle in as the more well-known players performed up to par. With big weeks from Derrick […]


Top 10 Fantasy Football Busts for Week 7

It's Week 7 and we are officially halfway through the fantasy regular season. With fingers crossed that the season continues to operate with minimal disruption, we can allow football to the forefront of our minds as it appears all games will be played as scheduled this week. Assuming that's the case, fantasy GMs rostering Ravens, […]


WR/CB Matchups to Target and Avoid - Week 7

The CB Matchup Chart has been a helpful resource all season, specifically in Week 6. Last week's article was predictive in forecasting boom games for Julio Jones, Justin Jefferson, and Christian Kirk. It also predicted let-downs from Robby Anderson, Cooper Kupp, and Mike Evans. This week's chart will give the most accurate landscape of CB matchups yet, […]

Week 7 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

We had some surprise defenses crack the top-10 in Week 6 with the Atlanta Falcons picking off Kirk Cousins seemingly at will and the Tampa Bay Bucs easily handling Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Even with that, we were able to get six of the top-10 defensive units, but the Indianapolis Colts may be showing […]


Week 7 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

This NFL season continues to be the weirdest one that I’ve seen in my lifetime. In Week 6, we saw games that we expected to be close turn into blowouts, and we had blowouts turn into close games. If it weren’t for some winding back the clock magic by Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers, they […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 7) - Targets and Avoids

It started off as a great day of football but the decision to have just two 4 p.m. games quickly backfired when the Dolphins-Jets and Bucs-Packers became blowouts after the first quarter. Another decision that is still, and will continue to be, scrutinized is the Texans decision to go for two. It was the right […]

The more data we get as the season goes on, the better equipped we are to interpret matchups and make informed decisions. Then Week 6 comes along and blows it all to hell.

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 7

After the NFL started with a scorching hot offensive showcase, last week was somewhat of a letdown. Many players came back down to earth for the first time this year. From the Tampa Bay defense smothering Aaron Rodgers to the Cardinals overpowering the dwindling Cowboys, something just didn’t feel the same last week. Thankfully, we […]

Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Cardinals vs Cowboys

Week 5 is in the books and the NFL train just keeps on rolling. Week 6 begins our first week with a heavy dose of bye teams (Seattle Seahawks, New Orleans Saints, Los Angeles Chargers, and Las Vegas Raiders) with each team off providing at least two majorly fantasy-relevant players this season. Navigating these bye […]
