Who Should I Pickup for Fantasy Football Week 8? Oronde Gadsden, Kyle Monangai, Romeo Doubs, Wan'Dale Robinson, Nick Chubb, Brashard Smith, Woody Marks, Alec Pierce, Kyle Pitts, Troy Franklin

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden caught seven of his nine targets for 164 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The highlight of his game was a 53-yard catch on the second play of the third quarter, but his 15-yard touchdown was impressive, too.

The rookie has broken out recently, catching 14 passes for 232 yards and a touchdown over his last two contests. He is the overall TE1 in PPR leagues over the last two weeks. Although that's a relatively small sample size to assess, Sunday's big game showed that Gadsden's sudden success is no fluke.

Oronde Gadsden should continue to operate as a primary target for Justin Herbert, giving him high-end TE2 appeal with TE1 upside.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai had the best game of his young NFL career in his team's Week 7 win over the New Orleans Saints, recording 94 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 15 total touches.

The 23-year-old has been an efficient player so far this season, averaging 4.6 yards per carry and 5.4 yards per touch. Monangai remains the clear RB2 in Chicago behind D'Andre Swift, who had a similarly stellar game in Week 7 with 138 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 20 total touches. Still, Monangai could slowly steal work away from Swift over the course of the season.

At the very least, Monangai is a high-end handcuff option who should be rostered and stashed in deep fantasy leagues. The Bears will travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens in Week 8.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs continued to maintain a big role in the offense in the 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday in Week 7, catching six of his eight targets for a team-high 72 yards. Doubs wasn't able to find the end zone, but he led the team in receiving yards and also had a team-high six receptions.

The 25-year-old pass-catcher has had at least five catches and eight targets now in three straight games as one of quarterback Jordan Love's preferred passing-game targets. He has also scored four touchdowns in six games, although he has not found the end zone since scoring thrice in the 40-40 tie with the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 28.

Christian Watson (knee) could make his 2025 debut on Sunday night in Week 8 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but Doubs should maintain flex appeal with Jayden Reed (collarbone) still sidelined. Doubs is now up to 24 catches, 306 yards, and four TDs on 36 targets through six games.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin saw 10 targets in Sunday's 33-32 comeback win over the New York Giants to tie with counterpart wide receiver Courtland Sutton for the most on the team.

In what was a dramatic comeback win for the Broncos, as they were shut out for the first three quarters, Franklin caught their first offensive touchdown as it ricocheted off of a defender's hands that was guarding the primary target Sutton, into his hands for the score.

Franklin would only catch two more passes other than that one on the day, leaving him with three catches for 19 yards and a score for the day. While the target count is encouraging, Franklin will look to improve his efficiency next week against the Dallas Cowboys at home.
