Fantasy Football Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 8 Including Stefon Diggs, Terry McLaurin, Kyler Murray, DeVonta Smith

Week 7 was a strange one. Multiple players went down with season-ending injuries and others simply did not show up. There were likely many fantasy lineups out there that failed to crack 50 points. If you struggled this week, just know that you're not alone and that there is still plenty of football yet to […]

Fantasy Football Matchups to Target, Avoid (Week 8) - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

After two weeks of great fantasy production, Week 7 was a regression to how the season started. Plenty of teams also suffered brutal injuries to key players. Thankfully, those effects weren’t felt along the offensive line despite the number of teams that entered the week missing starters. Through seven weeks, we have a strong enough […]

Trevor Lawrence Limited Upside Against Packers

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has looked better of late but might struggle against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Lawrence has averaged just under 15 fantasy points per game this season, which should be his expected output against Jaire Alexander and the stout Packers secondary. Evan Engram, Brian Thomas Jr., and Christian Kirk have […]

Spencer Rattler Not On Fantasy Radar In Week 8

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler popped up on the team's injury report this week with a hip injury but was able to practice in full. Rattler went down awkwardly near the end of the Saints' Week 7 matchup against the Broncos and was removed from that game to avoid aggravating the injury. With Derek […]

Patrick Mahomes With Easy Matchup In Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. The Raiders were already a favorable matchup before trading Davante Adams to the New York Jets, but now they are an even less formidable opponent. Despite his team's undefeated record, Mahomes has been one of the most disappointing quarterbacks […]

Bryce Young To Re-Enter The Belly Of The Beast In Week 8

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is set to make his third start of the year with Andy Dalton (thumb) doubtful to play in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Young was benched following a Week 2 thrashing by the Los Angeles Chargers, where he threw for just 84 yards and an interception. Despite notable offensive […]

Brock Purdy With Good Matchup, Depleted Weapons In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy takes his snaps in Week 8 at home against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Purdy had a bad game against Kansas City last week, but it wasn't his worst game in fantasy due to two QB sneaks for touchdowns. He went 17-of-31 for 212 yards passing with three […]

Tyler Huntley Lands On Injured Reserve

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder) was placed on the Injured Reserve list on Friday. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) missing the last few games, Huntley has been under center. However, he didn't do much with his afforded opportunity, throwing for 377 yards, one touchdown, and one interception off 59.1% passing. Fortunately for the Dolphins, Tagovailoa […]

Deshaun Watson Undergoes Successful Surgery

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) underwent successful surgery on Friday. He's expected to make a full recovery. The signal-caller suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in the divisional matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals, ending his season. Watson had a year to forget in 2024-25, throwing for 1,148 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions. He also […]

The Luck Is Made Podcast: How Kevin O'Connell & the Vikings Saved Sam Darnold's Career (10/25/24, Episode 13)

We're shifting gears a little bit this week. Instead of the regular fantasy jargon, here's an inside look at quarterback Sam Darnold's career revival in Minnesota. Despite losing their last two games, the Vikings are sitting pretty in the NFC playoff race at 5-2 and Darnold continues to play well. Today's topics include: After shining […]

Marcus Mariota Could Be High-End QB2 Against Chicago

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota could be a viable high-end QB2 in Superflex formats if he is given the starting nod in Week 8. Mariota replaced the injured Jayden Daniels (ribs) early in last week's game and performed quite well as he went 18-for-23 with 205 yards and two scores. He added 34 yards on […]

Kirk Cousins Looks To Bounce Back Against Tampa Bay

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins posted another lackluster performance in Week 7 despite facing an undermanned Seattle defense, finishing as QB23 for the week after throwing more interceptions (2) than touchdown passes (1) for the third time in seven games. Looking ahead to Week 8, the 36-year-old has a chance to get back on track […]

Will Levis Questionable For Second Straight Week

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's road tilt against the Detroit Lions. The second-year QB practiced in a limited fashion all week, but his status remains in the air for the team's Week 8 matchup. Levis sustained an AC joint sprain back in Week 4 before the team's […]

Joe Burrow Looking To Lead His Team To .500 In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow looks to lead his squad to a .500 record with a win over Philadelphia in Week 8. The signal-caller has been a quality fantasy quarterback in 2024-25. In the Bengals' seven games this season, he's thrown at least two or more touchdowns in five of those contests. Burrow has also […]

Baker Mayfield Could Struggle In Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has been an early season MVP candidate with his performance on the field. Last week, Mayfield completed 31-of-45 passing attempts for 370 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The Bucs have taken a huge hit to their offense with both Mike […]

Geno Smith Has A Slight Downgrade In Week 8 With DK Metcalf Doubtful

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith has been a solid quarterback streaming option in 2024. He should deliver solid value again in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills, but you should temper expectations with DK Metcalf (knee) unlikely to play in this game. The Bills are also an absolute run-funnel. Teams have been able to run […]

Jalen Hurts A Strong QB1 Play Against Bengals

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will go on the road to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8. The 26-year-old has looked strong since the bye week, tallying five touchdowns, and has turned the ball over zero times. Last week, Hurts threw the ball 14 times for only 114 yards and a touchdown, but […]

Jared Goff A Low-End QB1 Play In Week 8 Against Tennessee

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff faces the Tennessee Titans in Week 8, a team that has allowed the third-fewest passing yards per game (166.7) this season but gave up 315 yards to Josh Allen and the Bills last week. Goff has been a productive fantasy quarterback, ranking third in passing yards per game, first in […]

Jameis Winston A Week 8 Sleeper

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston will step in as the team's starter for a Week 8 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Winston will make his first start for the Browns after the team lost Deshaun Watson to a season-ending Achilles injury during a Week 7 loss. The veteran quarterback draws a plus matchup against a […]

Plus Matchup For C.J. Stroud In Week 8

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has a favorable Week 8 matchup against Indianapolis, welcome news after a rough performance last week at Green Bay in which he failed to crack 100 passing yards. Last year's Rookie of the Year has been unremarkable as a fantasy option this season relative to where he was drafted. He […]
