Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlooks

Joe Flacco, Cincinnati Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco has momentum on his side as he prepares for a favorable Week 8 matchup against the New York Jets. Flacco is coming off one of his best games in recent memory, completing 31 passes for 342 yards and three touchdowns while surrendering zero turnovers. He looks like a completely different quarterback than the Flacco who was benched by the Browns and subsequently traded just a few weeks ago.

While we don't expect the veteran to replicate last week's line every game, it was encouraging to see him break out because it confirms that he's at least capable of throwing the football effectively while limiting turnovers. It also provided optimism for fantasy managers with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The 40-year-old is on track to have another productive game against the 0-7 Jets, who have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks despite having a secondary anchored by Sauce Gardner. Flacco is a mid-range fantasy QB2 with legitimate QB1 upside.

Breece Hall, New York Jets

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Bengals. The 24-year-old was limited to 38 yards off 11 carries in the Week 7 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He also picked up a knee injury, limiting him in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. While Hall managed to log a full session on Friday, his presence still wasn't enough to dodge a questionable designation for Week 8.

The Jets' injury report is loaded, with Garrett Wilson (knee), Tyrod Taylor (knee), and Josh Reynolds (hip) all ruled out. As a result, it could be a busy day for Hall versus a Bengals defense that has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing backs throughout the 2025 campaign, giving him plenty of upside for managers in any format.

D'Andre Swift, Chicago Bears

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. The 26-year-old has been dealing with the groin issue for a few weeks. However, it didn't stop him from suiting up for the Week 7 win over the New Orleans Saints.

It also didn't prevent him from amassing 124 yards and a touchdown off 19 touches. While Swift should continue to split carries out of the backfield with rookie Kyle Monangai, he's still a solid fantasy option for the meeting with the Ravens, a team that has struggled to slow down opposing fantasy running backs throughout the 2025 campaign.

Kirk Cousins, Atlanta Falcons

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins will get the start in Sunday's meeting with the Dolphins. Michael Penix Jr. (knee) was limited during the week because of a bone bruise. Although it appears he's moving in the right direction, potentially returning in Week 9 versus the New England Patriots, he won't be out there in Week 8. As far as Cousins is concerned, he's not getting any younger. However, there's no denying he's had a productive career in the National Football League.

The 37-year-old has appeared in 165 regular-season contests, throwing for 43,008 yards, 288 touchdowns, and 126 interceptions while completing 66.9% of his throws. He's also found the end zone 19 times on the run. Cousins has a favorable matchup against a Dolphins defense that hasn't looked the best. While he's still not the safest or trustworthy fantasy option, desperate managers can look his way for streaming purposes, considering the number of injured quarterbacks along with six teams getting the week off for their bye.
