Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year players who are ripe for a breakout performance. Oftentimes, rookies can provide some of the most value as under-the-radar options.

Free NFL Betting Picks - Week 8 Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (10/31/21)
Had some nice hits in Week 7 with Robert Woods topping his listed receiving yards total, followed by a snoozefest under in the Carolina/New York Giants game. I still love the Eagles moneyline play, but Miles Sanders getting hurt early put the nail in the coffin for that one. Onto a strong Week 8! 2021 […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts - Champs, Chumps, and Contenders
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 […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 8 - Daily Fantasy Football
Even though the season feels like it just began, we are nearly halfway through the 2021-22 campaign. Week 8 started with Thursday Night Football, featuring Aaron Rodgers and the Packers heading to the desert for a meeting with Kyler Murray and the Cardinals. Unfortunately for the reigning MVP, his favorite target, Davante Adams, wasn't in […]

Younghoe Koo - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a strong option against the Panthers in Week 8. Koo has gone 10-for-10 in field goals and 13-for-13 in extra points this season and has been one of the most reliable fantasy kicker options. The Panthers are average against fantasy kickers and Koo's role on a Falcons offense that […]

Falcons Defense Should Be Benched For Week 8
The Atlanta Falcons defense is not a starting-caliber option in Week 8. Though Sam Darnold and the Panthers have been really struggling the past few weeks, this unit is not potent enough to be a starting option. This unit is still generally young and inexperienced, so a capable QB like Sam Darnold could take advantage […]

Kyle Pitts - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts is a strong TE1 in Week 8. Pitts has been on fire the past two weeks and has shown why he was drafted so high this past draft. The youngster posted nine receptions for 119 yards and one score on 10 targets back in Week 5 while posting seven […]

Russell Gage - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is not a viable fantasy play in Week 8. The receiver posted a season-best four receptions for 67 yards and a score on seven targets last week but overall has been ineffective in 2021. What's encouraging is he has seen at least six targets in the last two games. […]

Calvin Ridley - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a low-end WR1 option against the Panthers. Ridley is one of the top-two pass-catchers on this team alongside Kyle Pitts and his target share reflects that. The WR has seen at least 10 targets in the past four games while posting at least 61 yards in three of […]

Cordarrelle Patterson - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson is an RB2 option against the Panthers in Week 8. Patterson has been fantastic this season for Atlanta in both the rushing and passing game. He has at least 14 carries and 54 rushing yards in the last two games and at least 60 receiving yards in three of […]

Matt Ryan - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a low-end QB1 against the Panthers in Week 8. Ryan has thrown for at least 342 yards in the last two games and overall has 12 touchdowns to four picks on the season. While he hasn't had any explosive games, the QB has been serviceable this season. The Panthers […]
