Lions Defense Far From Fantasy Radar

The Detroit Lions defense has proven to be one of the worst units in the league through seven weeks of the regular season, so a matchup with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle spells bad news. Detroit's defense/special teams unit hasn't been playable all year long, so Week 8 is just more of the same. Even […]

Broncos Defense Has Real Potential This Week

The Denver Broncos defense has been better in real life than fantasy through the first seven weeks, but they have some real fantasy upside in a Week 8 matchup in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags offense is much more potent this year under second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence -- they're averaging 22.1 points per […]

Austin Hooper Has Low Ceiling In Week 8

Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper is not a great fantasy play in Week 8, even after having his best game of the season against the Indianapolis Colts last week. Houston is just a neutral matchup for tight ends, and with Ryan Tannehill (ankle) banged up, this will likely be a run-heavy and almost run-only […]

Titans Defense A Strong Week 8 Streamer

The Tennessee Titans defense picked off Colts quarterback Matt Ryan twice last week, returning one for a touchdown, and could be in line for another strong game against Houston. The Titans pass rush is coming alive and its secondary is starting to settle in. Ultimately, the positive outlook is based on a poor and ineffective […]

Brandon McManus Hard To Trust In Week 8

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus ranks ninth among all kickers in total fantasy points through seven weeks of the 2022 season. But he's coming off a miserable Week 7 performance in which he made one of his two field-goal tries while missing his lone extra-point attempt. The 31-year-old is also kicking for the lowest-scoring offense […]

George Kittle Looks To Continue Hot Streak

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle took some time to get going, but he has finished as the TE5 and the TE1 in the past two weeks. Against Kansas City in Week 7, he caught six passes for 98 yards and a touchdown. Both the Chiefs and Kittle's Week 6 opponent, the Falcons, allow […]

Randy Bullock Not A Strong Option In Week 8

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock has delivered two solid fantasy performances in 2022, but with a projected point total of just 40.5 in this Titans-Texans contest, it's tough to project a high-upside week for the veteran kicker. Bullock could deliver if the Titans are stalled in the red zone a few times, but this game […]

Greg Dulcich On The Streaming Radar Against Jacksonville

Denver Broncos third-round rookie tight end Greg Dulcich has made quite the impression in his first two NFL games the last two weeks. In his NFL debut in the Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, he had two catches for 44 yards and his first NFL touchdown. Last week in the loss to […]

Tyler Higbee Has TE1 Potential In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee could be in line for a big game in Week 8, as the Rams take on the division rival San Francisco 49ers. The last time Higbee faced the Rams in Week 4, he caught ten passes for 73 yards to finish as the TE4 in PPR. Higbee is […]

KJ Hamler Not A Realistic Fantasy Option

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler comes into the Week 8 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London with a grand total of five catches on 11 targets for 113 yards in five games in 2022. He added a 14-yard carry in last week's loss to the New York Jets. The 23-year-old speedy deep threat […]

Jerry Jeudy Hoping To Stay Hot In Week 8

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is coming off one of his best games of the season in the Week 7 loss to the New York Jets with a season-high seven catches on 11 targets for 96 yards with backup quarterback Brett Rypien under center. It was nice to see out of the 23-year-old, especially […]

Courtland Sutton Looking To Bounce Back In London

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton leads the team with 34 catches for 454 yards on 58 targets through seven weeks, but he's caught only five passes on 12 targets for 37 yards and no scores in the last two games, one without quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring). The good news is that Wilson will start […]

Brandon Aiyuk Could Have Expanded Role In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk could have a larger role in the offense in Week 8 with Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings limited by hamstring injuries. Neither have practiced on Wednesday or Thursday, putting their status for Sunday in doubt. Aiyuk has been on a roll. In the past two games, he has […]

Latavius Murray A Touchdown-Dependent Flex

Denver Broncos running back Latavius Murray surprisingly took over the backfield in the team's Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, carrying the ball 15 times for 66 yards. He took a back seat to Melvin Gordon III in last week's loss to the New York Jets, though, and finished with eight carries for […]

Robert Woods Has Low Floor Versus Texans

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods has only had one fantasy-friendly performance thanks to grabbing a touchdown reception, and that appears to be his only path to fantasy relevance in Week 8. Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is banged up and since Houston allows the most rushing yards per game, this should be a Derrick Henry monster-touch […]

Allen Robinson II A Poor Start In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II is coming off his best performance of the season in his last game--63 yards and a touchdown in Week 6. Unfortunately, he returns from his Week 7 bye to face one of the toughest defenses in football Week 8, the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners held the […]

Melvin Gordon III An RB3/Flex Against Jaguars

After being benched in the team's Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III started in the Week 7 loss to the New York Jets and led the backfield with 11 carries for 33 yards, also catching two of four targets for 17 yards. However, he only out-touched […]

Derrick Henry Has Overall RB1 Ceiling

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is poised for a huge day in his first meeting with the AFC South-rival Houston Texans. In his last three games against Houston, Henry has rushed for 673 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging just over 7.6 yards per carry. In 2022, Houston has allowed the most rushing yards per […]

Cooper Kupp Could Have Many Targets In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp faces his divisional rival, the San Francisco 49ers, in Week 8. In his Week 4 matchup against the Niners, a 24-9 loss, he was being force fed the football and ended up with 14 catches for 122 yards. The Niners have had the Rams' number, beating them in […]

Giants Defense A Mid-Tier Option In Week 8

The defense of the New York Giants should be considered a mid-tier option in a Week 8 road matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. The Giants have recorded only one interception on defense this season (tied for the lowest in the NFL) and they've registered a 30.4% pressure rate (22nd in the NFL). Meanwhile, Seattle's offense […]

Graham Gano Remains Elite Option In Week 8

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano remains an elite kicking option in Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran kicker made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Week 7 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 35-year-old kicker has converted multiple field goals in five of the first seven […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. May Have Value As A Handcuff

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. does not figure as a fantasy starter in Week 8. Last week, Christian McCaffrey played his first game as a Niner and had more touches than Wilson. Wilson still ran for 54 yards on seven carries, but, while Wilson has been having a good season, he doesn't […]

Darius Slayton Likely Worth Benching In Week 8

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is tough to trust in Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks. Slayton has been inconsistent this season amid the injuries the Giants have had at the wide receiver position. The former fifth-round pick posted three receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown in Week 7, but he tallied […]

Christian McCaffrey Will Have Full Workload In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is likely to have an increased workload in his Week 8 road matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. In his first game as a Niner, the former Stanford alum, who joined the team just two days before game day, played only 22 snaps and had 10 touches. Niners […]

Wan'Dale Robinson A Solid WR3/Flex Option In Week 8

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson should be considered a WR or flex option in Week 8 versus the Denver Broncos. The rookie wide receiver led the Giants with eight targets in Week 7, resulting in him catching six of those for 50 yards. The Kentucky product has not totaled nine receptions, 87 yards, […]

Saquon Barkley Has Very Favorable Matchup In Week 8

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley has an extremely favorable matchup in Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks. The star running back continues to see a consistent workload each week with 18-plus touches in six of the first seven games of the season. The former first-round pick has also accumulated over 100 scrimmage yards […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Faces Tough Matchup In Week 8

In Week 8, Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. faces a tough matchup against a San Francisco 49ers defense that limited him to just 27 yards in their last meeting in Week 4 of this year. The 49ers allow the 14th-fewest rushing yards per game and the second-fewest per attempt. The Rams are […]

Ryan Succop Connects On Three Field Goals In Thursday's Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop went 3-for-3 in field goal attempts and drilled his only extra-point try in Thursday's 27-22 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran has now tallied at least 10 points in two of the last three games. He is one of the most reliable kickers in 2022, converting 19-of-20 field […]

Cade Otton Catches Two Passes In Loss To Ravens

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton caught two of five targets for 15 yards in Thursday's 27-22 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Tom Brady connected with Otton for a touchdown during Thursday's loss, but it was negated by a Donovan Smith holding penalty. The 23-year-old is still searching for his first career touchdown and […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Facing Tough Rams Defense

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo leads the 14th-ranked Niners passing offense into Los Angeles for a rematch against the divisional-rival Rams, whom they blew out 24-9 in Week 4. The 30-year-old posted a QB21 finish that week, which was good for fantasy managers starting two QBs, as he threw for 239 yards, one touchdown […]
