Bold Predictions for Week 8

Bold predictions are always meant to be taken with a grain of salt, but ideally, they are not a bunch of takes thrown like you-know-what at a wall with the hope of sticking. These predictions come with backing to make them somewhat substantiated with the obvious caveat that it's playing into a range of outcomes […]

There is nothing more annoying than when the results don't line up with the process. It is, without a doubt, the worst part about fantasy football – and the best, if we're being honest. If the process was always right, this game we love would be a lot less fun if we knew all the […]

Hunter Henry - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been a touchdown machine over the last month. He has scored a touchdown in each of the last four games heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. However, he has not surpassed the 25-yard mark in either of the last two games. It's […]

Kendrick Bourne - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has done his job whenever he is called upon this season. Last week, Bourne hauled in all four of his targets for 68 yards in the win over the New York Jets. He also added a 25-yard passing touchdown on a trick play. Clearly, the Patriots enjoy utilizing […]

Nelson Agholor - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor has been unable to make much of an impact on the field lately. In fact, Agholor has been held to three receptions or less in every game since the season opener. That is unlikely going to change against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 8. A defense that […]

Jakobi Meyers - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has been heavily involved in the passing attack throughout the first seven games of the season. In fact, Meyers has been targeted nearly 60 times, but his value has been limited due to the fact he cannot seem to score a touchdown. There is still plenty of upside […]

Brandon Bolden - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden put together a solid performance against the New York Jets last week. He hauled in six of his seven targets for 67 yards and one touchdown in the win. However, Bolden has failed to do much damage outside of his Week 7 performance. It's uncertain if he'll have […]

Damien Harris - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has posted back-to-back games with over 100 rushing yards. He has a solid chance of keeping that streak alive against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 8. A defense that ranks last in rush DVOA through the first seven weeks of the season. The Patriots have given Harris […]

Mac Jones - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones shouldn't be viewed as a favorable fantasy option for Week 8. Although, he is coming off the best performance of his young NFL career. Last week, Jones posted 300-plus yards and two touchdowns in the victory over the New York Jets. However, it's not going to be as easy […]

Jonnu Smith At Practice On Wednesday

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (shoulder) was present at practice on Wednesday despite suffering a shoulder injury during Sunday's win over the Jets. Smith has been getting increasingly more involved in the Patriots offense in recent weeks, so his return is well-timed with a matchup against the high-scoring Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. The […]
