Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 8

The Week 7 wide receiver matchup article was either feast or famine. Diontae Johnson absolutely crushed it, scoring twice on his way to finish as the No. 3 receiver on the week. Kenny Golladay went over 100 yards and Terry McLaurin scored, finishing as a WR1. On the other side of things, CeeDee Lamb, Gabriel Davis […]

Lamar Jackson Still A Top Option In Week 8

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will be tasked with squaring off against the effective Steelers Defense in Week 8. Despite a decrease in fantasy output in 2020, the signal-caller has possibly the highest ceiling at the position, especially with the options available to him on the offensive side of the ball. In terms of his […]

J.K. Dobbins Has Upside In Week 8

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins will potentially see an expanded role in Week 8 against the Steelers.

Although Edwards could see more carries, Dobbins may do […]

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) won't play in Week 8 against the Steelers and may also not be available to suit up against the Colts in Week 9.

Week 8 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 7 was relatively successful with seven correctly predicted top-10 defenses after the Los Angeles Rams strong effort on Monday night.

NFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 8 GPP Contests (DFS Tournaments)

There are quite a few "chalk" stacks I felt I needed to exclude from my Week 8 GPP DFS stack consideration set. Like most weeks, Kansas City is a chalky stack, but this week against the Jets they are nearly too easy. The addition of Carlos Dunlap will help Seattle, but that secondary has been […]

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Week 8 against the Steelers.
