San Francisco 49ers D/ST Falls Out Of Top-10

The San Francisco 49ers D/ST will take on a rested Cincinnati Bengals offense on Sunday in Santa Clara. The 49ers have been consistently ranked in the top five up to this point in 2023 but have shown some cracks as of late. San Francisco brass has put together a defense predicated on getting to the […]

Jake Moody A Good Option In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody will carry a tenuous momentum into a home matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. A week after a disastrous performance in Cleveland in which he missed two crucial kicks, including a game-deciding fourth-quarter attempt, Moody missed his first field goal attempt in Minnesota from 40 yards away. […]

George Kittle Faces Good Matchup With Momentum

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is set for a productive day in his Week 8 matchup at home versus the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Last week, in a tough loss to Minnesota, Kittle led all 49ers in receiving yards with 78 on five receptions while adding one carry for two yards. Cincinnati's defense […]

Jauan Jennings A Back-End Flex Play

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings may be worth a gamble in 12-team leagues this Sunday when the team faces the Cincinnati Bengals at home. In Week 7 at Minnesota, Jennings paced the 49ers with a career-high nine targets which he turned into five catches for 54 yards receiving. With starting wide receiver Deebo […]

Brandon Aiyuk A Borderline WR1 In Week 8

As odd as it sounds, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will attempt to reclaim his role as the team's No. 1 receiving target this Sunday when the Cincinnati Bengals come to the Bay Area. Last week against Minnesota with Deebo Samuel out with a shoulder injury, Aiyuk should have been a slam dunk […]

Christian McCaffrey Could Extend Record Streak Sunday

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey will square up with a struggling Cincinnati Bengals run defense on Sunday in Santa Clara. Last week the overall RB1 broke the NFL record for most consecutive games with a touchdown, including playoffs. He finished the game with a solid line of 15 carries for 45 yards and […]

Elijah Mitchell Not Viable For Lineups In Week 8

Fantasy managers should consider San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell to be no more than a bench stash in Week 8 when the team hosts the Cincinnati Bengals. For most of the week leading up to San Francisco's Week 7 matchup with Minnesota, Mitchell stashers were licking their chops in anticipation of starter Christian […]

Sam Darnold Might Draw Start On Sunday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Sam Darnold could be in line for his first start of the year in Week 8 at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. Regular quarterback Brock Purdy remained in the league's concussion protocol on Friday and could be forced to sit. In 2022 with the Panthers, Darnold averaged 14.4 fantasy points per […]

Matt Prater Not A Reliable Option For Week 8

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater shouldn't be considered a reliable fantasy option in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens. In Week 7 Prater made one of two field-goal attempts and his only point-after try during Sunday's 20-10 defeat at Seattle. However, his team is facing a brutal matchup from a Ravens defense that ranks at […]

Arizona Cardinals Defense Not Worth A Week 8 Start

The Arizona Cardinals' defense should not be counted on to produce meaningful fantasy statistics in Week 8. They have been gashed for the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs, rank 29th in run defense DVOA, and are 28th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs. In Week 8 they go up against Lamar Jackson and […]

Trey McBride A Week 8 TE2

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride is in line for an expanded workload when the team faces off against the Baltimore Ravens. This week the team placed veteran starter Zach Ertz on IR (quadriceps), opening the door for McBride to make an impact. Over the past two weeks, McBride has started to become a bit […]

Rondale Moore Off The Fantasy Radar

Arizona Cardinals wideout Rondale Moore isn't worth a start in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens. Even though Moore continues to be somewhat utilized by the team in the backfield with starter James Conner (knee) out, he has been surpassed by rookie Michael Wilson in the passing game. In addition to his declining role, this […]

Michael Wilson Too Risky To Start In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Michael Wilson has a tough matchup in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens rank at or near the top in almost every defensive passing category, including allowing the lowest yards per target (5.7) to opposing wideouts. Add to it the fact that quarterback Joshua Dobbs will most likely […]

Marquise Brown With A Brutal Week 8 Matchup

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown has a brutal matchup in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens. Even though Brown is currently the WR28 in all of fantasy, the odds of him doing well in this game are not good. Baltimore is at or near the top in almost every defensive passing statistic, and the […]

NFL DFS Stacks: Week 8 (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. The Week 7 DFS slate was all about Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Rashee Rice singlehandedly giving me a profitable week. I typically play three lineups, and that Chiefs stack offset my massive losses with my other two lineups. Hopefully, if you included a […]

Emari Demercado Looks To Gain Momentum In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado is worth a start in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens. Last week, Demercado played 80% of the offensive snaps for the Cardinals and totaled 17 touches to go with 75 total yards, making him the RB21 for the week. Even though the Ravens are at or near the […]

Keaontay Ingram Not Worth A Start

Arizona Cardinals running back Keaontay Ingram should remain on the fantasy bench in Week 8. In Week 7, Ingram tallied just nine snaps on special teams and none on offense. One week after leading the Cardinals in carries with 10, he was relegated entirely to special teams, currently giving him zero fantasy value. With teammate […]

Joshua Dobbs A Week 8 Bench Stash

While Arizona waits on Kyler Murray's return (knee), quarterback Joshua Dobbs prepares for potentially his last start of the season in Week 8. Even though Dobbs will most likely be on the field when the game begins, the matchup is brutal. Arizona will go up against a Baltimore defense that is at or near the […]

Tee Higgins Needs A Strong Showing In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has struggled with injuries and underwhelming play throughout the 2023-24 campaign. Higgins' best showing of the year was in Week 2 against Baltimore, with the wideout catching eight of his 12 targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns. Outside of that, he has just two receptions in each of […]

Ja'Marr Chase Looks To Lead Cincinnati To Another Win

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase hasn't had the year many had envisioned entering the 2023-24 campaign. Chase didn't find the end zone until the Week 5 win over the Cardinals, with the former LSU Tiger amassing 15 catches for 192 yards and three touchdowns. However, outside of a couple of games this season, Chase […]

Fantasy Football Tight End Preparation for Week 8

The tight end position may actually be getting some reinforcements over the second half of the season. We'll talk about Dalton Kincaid and Trey McBride and their breakout potential. While on the surface it may look as though Michael Mayer's role moved backward, a lot of that can be explained by the blowout nature of […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 8: Geno Smith, Miles Sanders, and Tyler Lockett

Week 8 of the fantasy football season is underway and while we may have drafted certain players at a premium, it is okay to consider benching them despite their name value.

Joe Mixon Still A Flex Option In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon hasn't had the best season. The 27-year-old still hasn't surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark. Even worse, he has only one touchdown while averaging a mediocre 3.8 yards per carry. With the Bengals coming off a bye in Week 7, Mixon and company will look for a third-straight win on […]
