Week 8 Fantasy Football Guide

Updated: Oct 25

By: Jake Weiner


ree

 

Week 8 is here, and the fantasy football season is at its halfway point. By this point, we’ve seen enough to know which sleepers or breakout rookies are true fantasy starters and which can be left on your bench (i.e., TreVeyon Henderson). Still, every new week brings new opportunities: injuries keep coming with devastating season-ending repercussions (i.e., Mike Evans), depth charts are changing, and surprise performances continue to shake up the fantasy landscape.


Today, we will break down every matchup on the Week 8 schedule with detailed game-by-game analysis, spotlighting the players you should confidently start and the ones better left on your bench. We’ll also highlight the best waiver wire adds, identify sneaky starts that could change your matchup, and look at a few betting plays per game that are worth monitoring. Whether you’re sitting comfortably atop your league or sitting at the bottom of the table, our analysis will help you make the right choices for Week 8.

 


 New York Giants (2-5) @ Philadelphia Eagles (5-2) - Sunday, 1:00 PM ET


Quick Take:


  • Philadelphia’s dominant front seven should smother New York’s struggling offensive line, forcing rookie QB Jaxson Dart into mistakes. Jalen Hurts’ dual-threat ability and A.J. Brown’s physicality will likely overwhelm the Giants’ defense. Pick: Eagles win comfortably, not close.

Miami Dolphins (1-6) @ Atlanta Falcons (3-3) - Sunday, 1:00 PM ET


Quick Take:


  • Atlanta’s offense under Michael Penix has been solid, and facing Miami’s struggling defense and Tua’s turnover-prone play style should greatly benefit them at home. Expect a blowout contest where turnovers decide the outcome early. Pick: Falcons win, not a close game.


Injury Report:


  • Dolphins:

    • CB Storm Duck -- QUESTIONABLE -- Ankle

    • CB Elijah Campbell -- QUESTIONABLE -- Quad

  • Longshot Touchdown: Tyler Allgeier


Chicago Bears (4-2) @ Baltimore Ravens (1-5) - Sunday, 1:00 PM ET


Quick Take:


  • With Lamar Jackson out AGAIN, the Ravens’ rushing attack will have to control tempo at home against a weak Bears defense. The Bears’ offense can keep it interesting and we think the Ravens will continue to disappoint. Pick: Bears win, 4+ points.


Injury Report:


  • Bears:

    • WR DJ Moore -- QUESTIONABLE -- Ankle

    • RB D'Andre Swift -- QUESTIONABLE -- Groin

  • Rome Odunze 50+ yards

  • Longshot Touchdown: Kyle Monangai OR Colston Loveland


Buffalo Bills (4-2) @ Carolina Panthers (4-3) - Sunday, 1:00 PM ET


Quick Take:


  • Buffalo’s passing game with Josh Allen will likely torch a rebuilding Carolina defense, though the Panthers’ young offense could score in garbage time. With QB Bryce Young likely out and backup veteran Andy Dalton likely stepping in, the Bills' aggressive defense should take advantage. The Bills’ depth and defensive pressure should pull away early. Pick: Bills win easily, not close.

  • Bills:

    • WR Joshua Palmer -- QUESTIONABLE -- Ankle

    • TE Dalton Kincaid -- QUESTIONABLE -- Oblique

New York Jets (0-7) @ Cincinnati Bengals (3-4) - Sunday, 1:00 PM ET


Quick Take:


  • Joe Flacco’s connection with Chase and Higgins is growing fast and is likely going to be too much for a Jets defense that struggles against explosive plays. New York’s offense is struggling, and with backup QB Tyrod Taylor likely starting, the Bengals should take this one. Pick: Bengals win, not very close.


Injury Report:


  • Jets:

    • RB Breece Hall -- QUESTIONABLE -- Knee (EXPECTED TO PLAY)

    • WR Garrett Wilson -- QUESTIONABLE -- Hyper-Extended Leg

    • RB Braelon Allen -- OUT -- Knee

  • Longshot Touchdown: Noah Fant


San Francisco 49ers (5-2) @ Houston Texans (2-4) - Sunday, 1:00 PM ET


Quick Take:


  • San Francisco’s versatility on both sides of the ball gives them the upper hand. Houston’s defense plays hard, but lacks the firepower to keep up with Purdy, McCaffrey, and Shanahan’s scheming. Pick: 49ers win, not close.


Injury Report:


  • 49ers:

    • QB Brock Purdy -- QUESTIONABLE -- Shoulder/Toe

    • WR Ricky Pearsall -- QUESTIONABLE -- Ankle

  • Longshot Touchdown: Dalton Schultz


Cleveland Browns (2-5) @ New England Patriots (5-2) - Sunday, 1:00 PM ET


Quick Take:


  • Cleveland’s physical run defense could test New England early, but the Pats’ disciplined defense and balanced offense under Drake Maye and veteran leadership will eventually wear them down. Expect the Browns to make this game interesting, but the Pats to take the win. Pick: Patriots win, somewhat close (SURPRISINGLY).


Injury Report:


  • Browns:

    • T Dawand Jones -- OUT -- Knee

    • CB Tyson Campbell -- QUESTIONABLE -- Quad

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-2) @ New Orleans Saints (1-6) - Sunday, 4:05 PM ET


Quick Take:


  • This rivalry always brings intensity. Tampa’s passing attack, led by Baker Mayfield, looks electric, but New Orleans’ defense can always force chaos. Expect a high-scoring game with Tampa taking the win. Pick: Buccaneers win, moderately close game.


Injury Report:


  • Buccaneers:

    • WR Mike Evans -- OUT -- Collarbone

  • Baker Mayfield 2+ passing TDs

  • Longshot Touchdown: Tez Johnson OR Rashid Shaheed


Dallas Cowboys (3-3-1) @ Denver Broncos (5-2) - Sunday, 4:25 PM ET


Quick Take:


  • Dallas’ offense remains elite, and running back Javonte Williams should find success against Denver, as we saw Giants' Cam Skattebo did in week 7. The Broncos’ pass rush will let them hang around, but won’t keep up with the Cowboys' electric offense for all four quarters. Pick: Cowboys win, moderately close.


Injury Report:


  • Cowboys:

    • LB DeMarvion Overshown -- OUT -- ACL

    • OG Tyler Booker -- OUT -- High-Ankle

  • Javonte Williams anytime TD

  • Longshot Touchdown: Evan Engram


Tennessee Titans (1-6) @ Indianapolis Colts (6-1) - Sunday, 4:25 PM ET


Quick Take:


  • A big spread, but justified — Daniel Jones' growth and Jonathan Taylor’s resurgence make Indy dangerous. Tennessee’s offense is stagnant, and the Colts’ defense will dominate. Pick: Colts win easily, not close.


Injury Report:


  • Titans:

    • WR Calvin Ridley -- QUESTIONABLE -- Hamstring

    • DL Jeffrey Simmons-- QUESTIONABLE -- Hamstring

    • CB L'Jarius Sneed -- QUESTIONABLE -- Quad

Green Bay Packers (4-1-1) @ Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) - Sunday, 8:20 PM ET


Quick Take:


  • Pittsburgh’s defense will pressure Jordan Love relentlessly, and if Aaron Rodgers manages the game cleanly, they’ll control tempo. Expect a gritty, physical contest. Pick: Steelers win in a UPSET, close game.


Injury Report:

    • WR Calvin Austin III -- OUT -- Shoulder

Washington Commanders (3-4) @ Kansas City Chiefs (4-3) - Monday, 8:15 PM ET


Quick Take:


  • Patrick Mahomes versus an inexperienced Washington defense feels lopsided. The Chiefs’ offense should cruise, and their defense will contain either an injured Jayden Daniels or a weak backup in Marcus Mariota. Pick: Chiefs win big, not close.
