Steelers Defense Tough To Trust In Week 8

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense has been one of the best units in the NFL through the first seven weeks of the season. Pittsburgh's defense ranks No. 2 overall in DVOA and has proven to be a tough matchup for opposing offenses. That being said, they will face a stiff test in Week 8 in a […]

Eric Ebron Tough To Trust In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron has been productive over the last month of the season, catching at least five passes in three of his last four games.

Diontae Johnson A WR3 In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (toe) is coming off a two-touchdown outing in Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans. Johnson's big day was evidence that he is still the No. 1 wide receiver in Pittsburgh, despite the emergence of rookie Chase Claypool.

James Conner An RB2 Against Baltimore

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner has been a productive fantasy option for much of the season, having found the end zone four times in six games.

Ben Roethlisberger A QB2 Against Baltimore

Baltimore's defense is allowing the […]

Browns Defense A Solid Option In Week 8

The Cleveland Browns Defense has been a solid play in fantasy for much of the 2020 season. While they are allowing opposing offenses to score frequently, Cleveland's defense has been opportunistic, leading the league with 14 takeaways through seven games. Cleveland is installed as three-point home favorites for their Week 8 matchup against the Las […]

Harrison Bryant A TE2 In Week 8

Cleveland Browns tight end Harrison Bryant had a huge game in Week 7, finishing with four catches for 56 yards and two touchdowns.

Rashard Higgins A Solid Flex In Week 8

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins set season-highs in Week 7 with six catches for 110 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals. Slated to see a larger role thanks to Odell Beckham's season-ending knee injury, Higgins is all of a sudden very fantasy viable in Week 8 against a weak Las Vegas Raiders defense. Las Vegas […]

Jarvis Landry A WR2 For Week 8

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is averaging just 5.57 targets per game through the first seven weeks of the season. He should, however, see an uptick in targets with Odell Beckham Jr. out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL. Now Cleveland's No. 1 WR, Landry draws an excellent Week 8 […]

Kareem Hunt An RB1 Versus Raiders

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt has managed to find the end zone seven times through seven games thus far in the 2020 season.

Baker Mayfield A High-End QB2 In Week 8

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off an excellent five-touchdown game in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7.
