It's Week 8, and by now you should know what works and what doesn't for your Fantasy roster. You know the players who are helping you win -- and the ones who are dragging you down.
If your roster is struggling, don't be afraid to make a change. You don't have to start someone just because you drafted them with an early-round pick. Trust me, you aren't hurting anyone's feelings by benching a player in your Fantasy lineup.
For those of you who are 4-3, 5-2, 6-1 or 7-0, it might be time to start thinking about the Fantasy playoffs. Find players with long-term success who have high ceilings and don't worry about the floor. You want league-winners who can carry you across the finish line.
It's different for Fantasy managers who are 3-4, 2-5, 1-6 or the dreaded 0-7. You need to do whatever it takes to win now. And it's not too late to still make the playoffs.
Of course, injuries and bye weeks are an issue, and we have four teams off in Week 8 (Houston, New Orleans, the Giants and San Francisco). That's a lot of star power missing. But, as always, we'll help you manage with your start and sit suggestions.
So let's get those lineups right. And let's start our playoff push now. It's time to start thinking about a championship.

He has now scored at least 25.7 Fantasy points in three of his past four games, and he should stay hot against the Colts in Week 8. Indianapolis just traded away standout defensive lineman DeForest Buckner to San Francisco, and the Colts have allowed three quarterbacks this season to score at least 26.9 Fantasy points. Lawrence has also scored at least 23.1 Fantasy points in each of his past three meetings with Indianapolis, and I don't expect the Colts to stop him in Week 8. He has top-five upside in all leagues.

He had a bye in Week 7, and I expect him to stay hot in Week 8 against Philadelphia. Daniels had 21.7 Fantasy points against the Eagles in Week 1, and he's averaging 27.2 Fantasy points per game in three-career outings against Philadelphia. The Eagles are No. 9 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, and only Matthew Stafford in Week 4 failed to score at least 20.1 Fantasy points against Philadelphia this year. 
Jordan Love QB GB Green Bay • #10

He only scored 20.9 Fantasy points against the Lions, but he's now scored at least 20 Fantasy points in 21 of 32 career games when he has at least 30 attempts. That gives Love a safe floor since he should be in that range once again in Week 8 against the Panthers, who have allowed two of the past four opposing quarterbacks to score at least 22.5 Fantasy points. I'll continue to trust Love as a top-10 Fantasy quarterback in this matchup. 
Matthew Stafford QB LAR L.A. Rams • #9

He did that without Davante Adams (hamstring), and Stafford has now scored at least 20.9 Fantasy points in five of his past six games. The Chargers have only allowed one quarterback this season to score 20-plus Fantasy points, which was Kirk Cousins in Week 2, including matchups with Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. But I trust Stafford to stay productive in this game, and he remains a top-10 Fantasy quarterback in all leagues. 
Kirk Cousins QB LV Las Vegas • #8
Age: 38 • Experience: 15 yrs. YTD Stats PAYDS 1877 RUYDS 4 TD 16 INT 5 FPTS/G 23.4 The Raiders have lost four games in a row, so the fear with Cousins is that if he struggles, then he could get benched for Fernando Mendoza. That said, this is a winnable game for the Raiders at the Jets, and their four losses have come against Kansas City, New England, Buffalo and the Rams. The Jets have allowed three of the past five opposing quarterbacks to score at least 23.4 Fantasy points, including two in a row with Drake Maye and Malik Willis. Cousins has scored at least 22.5 Fantasy points in five of his past six games, and he has top-10 upside in all leagues in this matchup. Sleepers (Start/Sit) Projections powered by Sportsline 
Jacoby Brissett QB ARI Arizona • #7
Age: 33 • Experience: 11 year This is the setup we love for Brissett. Dallas should build a lead against Arizona, and Brissett should be throwing a lot in a comeback effort against the Cowboys, who are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Only Jalon Daniels in Week 5 and Tanner McKee in Week 7 failed to score at least 22.2 Fantasy points against Dallas, and Brissett has scored at least 18.5 Fantasy points in three of his past five games. I like Brissett as a low-end starter in all leagues. 
Geno Smith QB NYJ N.Y. Jets • #7
Age: 36 • Experience: 14 yrs. We love revenge games, and Smith gets to face his former team in Week 8 after spending a miserable season with the Raiders in 2025. He just scored 29.5 Fantasy points in Week 7 against Miami, and Las Vegas is No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Five quarterbacks in a row -- Tyler Shough, Patrick Mahomes, Drake Maye, Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford -- have scored at least 21 Fantasy points against the Raiders, and I expect Smith to follow suit. He's worth using as a low-end starter in all leagues. 
Kyler Murray QB MIN Minnesota • #1
Age: 29 • Experience: 8 yrs. I'll give Murray one more chance as a low-end starter in all leagues since he's facing the Lions, who are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Every opposing quarterback against Detroit has scored at least 20.9 Fantasy points, and I hope Murray can reach that total, which would be a season high. He was disappointing in Week 7 against Indianapolis with just 15.9 Fantasy points, and his best game was Week 5 at New Orleans with 20.3 points. Let's hope Murray can do what every other quarterback against the Lions has done this season in Week 8. QBs to Sit Projections powered by Sportsline

And this is a brutal matchup in Week 8 at Seattle. The Seahawks are No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, and only Marcus Mariota in Week 3 and Brock Purdy in Week 5 have scored at least 20 Fantasy points. Seattle has held Drake Maye, Jacoby Brissett, Justin Herbert, Bo Nix and Patrick Mahomes to 11.8 Fantasy points or less, and Nix and Mahomes combined for just 10.5 Fantasy points in the past two games. I would prefer to start Williams in just Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in Week 8.

But he's struggled in his past two outings against the Chargers and Seahawks with a combined 16.5 Fantasy points, and he has no touchdowns and two interceptions over that span. The Broncos have held Justin Herbert, Sam Darnold and Jacoby Brissett to 18.5 Fantasy points or less in three games in a row, with two touchdowns and three interceptions over that span. Mahomes has also combined for 516 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in his past two trips to Denver, including a fumble. I would only start Mahomes in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in Week 8.

I'm still skeptical of Nix as a starting Fantasy option in one-quarterback leagues, and he was held to 7.4 Fantasy points in Week 1 against the Chiefs. Nix only has one game this season with multiple touchdown passes, which was Week 3 against the Rams. Kansas City is No. 3 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, and Kirk Cousins in Week 4 is the lone quarterback with at least 20 Fantasy points against the Chiefs this season. I would only use Nix in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in Week 8. Bust Alert (Start/Sit) Projections powered by Sportsline

Minnesota has allowed just four touchdowns to quarterbacks in the past 15 games going back to Week 10 last season, which includes facing Lamar Jackson, Caleb Williams twice, Jordan Love twice, Sam Darnold, Jayden Daniels, Dak Prescott, Jaxson Dart, Goff, Baker Mayfield and Tyler Shough. Love threw two touchdowns in Week 1 this season, so the Vikings have 11 games with no touchdowns allowed during that stretch. Goff scored 4.1 Fantasy points against Minnesota in Week 17 last season and is averaging 17.1 Fantasy points in six career meetings against defensive coordinator Brian Flores. I'm starting Goff in all Superflex and two-quarterback leagues, but I would lower expectations for him in one-quarterback leagues in Week 8.

It was a fluky way to get 22.5 PPR points since he scored on a 48-yard catch right before halftime, but Stevenson has now scored at least 17.5 PPR points in three of his past four games. The Dolphins are No. 4 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and a running back has scored at least 15.8 PPR points against Miami in every game this season. Stevenson has top-10 upside in all leagues in Week 8. 
Bhayshul Tuten RB JAC Jacksonville • #33

He has scored at least 11.1 PPR points in each of his past five games, including a season-high 24.7 PPR points against Houston in Week 6 on the strength of his work in the passing game with four catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns on four targets. Indianapolis has allowed three running backs this season to score at least 23.8 PPR points with Derrick Henry in Week 1, Kenneth Walker III in Week 2 and Jaylen Warren in Week 5. I expect Tuten to have a big game in this matchup at home.

He scored 17.3 PPR points, and Gordon has now scored at least 14.5 PPR points in four games in a row, with four touchdowns over that span. The Patriots have allowed six running backs to score at least 10.7 PPR points in their past five games, with five rushing touchdowns over that span, and Gordon is worth using in all leagues as a No. 2 Fantasy running back.

Aaron Jones (knee) was injured against the Colts, and Mason could be looking at a hefty workload if Jones is out against the Lions. In five games in 2025 without Jones, Mason averaged 13.5 PPR points per game. Detroit has allowed a running back to score at least 14.8 PPR points in four of six games this season, and I like Mason as a low-end No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues.

He has scored at least 11.1 PPR points in three of his past four games, and he has a positive matchup against the Eagles in Week 8. Philadelphia has allowed a running back to score at least 10.8 PPR points in five games in a row, including three guys (Kyren Williams, Chuba Hubbard and Javonte Williams) scoring at least 19.1 PPR points. This could be a big outing for White in Week 8.

He's scored a touchdown in each of his past three games, but he also had 17 carries for 93 yards and one catch for 8 yards on one target in Week 7 against the Raiders. The Chargers are No. 10 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and a running back has scored at least 10.3 PPR points against this defense in every game this season. I'm counting on Corum and Kyren Williams to both have success against this defense in Week 8.

After the game, Sean Payton told reporters that they "got to get him (Coleman) more touches. Definitely." We'll see what happens with Coleman, J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey in Week 8 against Kansas City, but Coleman is worth using as a flex. This isn't an easy matchup since the Chiefs are No. 8 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, but four running backs have scored at least 14.5 PPR points against Kansas City this year. If Payton is true to his word, then Coleman could be a nice surprise for Fantasy managers in Week 8. Sits Projections powered by Sportsline

He has scored 7.9 PPR points or less in three of his past four games, and he will likely continue to share touches with Keaton Mitchell and Kimani Vidal. The Rams have allowed six running backs this season to score at least 10.7 PPR points, but there's no guarantee that Hampton will have more success than Mitchell or Vidal. I would only use Hampton as a flex in most formats.

But he's about to lose playing time -- and potentially his starting job -- to Jonah Coleman, and RJ Harvey remains in the mix. It could get messy for Dobbins, who should be considered a flex option at best in most leagues. He was also held to eight catches for 36 yards and no targets in Week 1 at Kansas City, and the Chiefs are No. 8 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs.

Age: 27 • Experience: 4 yrs. YTD Stats RUYDS 403 REC 6 REYDS 65 TD 4 FPTS/G 10.7 Wilson has been a great Fantasy running back for the past month, but Zach Charbonnet (knee) and Jadarian Price (chest) could potentially play in Week 8 against Chicago. If that happens, then it will be tough to trust Wilson in the majority of leagues, even with Seattle adding guard Quenton Nelson this week via trade from Indianapolis. Wilson has scored at least 13.2 PPR points in three of his past four games, including three outings with at least 20 carries over that span. Charbonnet could end up working in short-yardage situations and on passing downs when healthy, and Price is a wild card. The Bears also present a tough test since Chicago is No. 6 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. Only four running backs this season have scored at least 10.5 PPR points against the Bears. Wilson should be considered a flex at best in most formats in Week 8.

He actually has scored at least 13 PPR points in three of his past five games, and he has at least 18 total touches in four of his past five outings. But I would only consider him a low-end No. 2 Fantasy running back at best in Week 8 against the Bengals. Cincinnati is No. 3 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and the Bengals just held Derrick Henry to 5.9 PPR points in Week 7. I'm hopeful for Pollard to stay hot after his dominant performance against the Browns, but Cincinnati's defense should be able to keep Pollard in check in Week 8.

Washington played Indianapolis in Week 17 last season and had eight catches for 115 yards on 10 targets.

The Eagles are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and 10 receivers have already scored at least 14.6 PPR points against Philadelphia this season.

The Browns have allowed eight receivers to score at least 11.9 PPR points this season, including Metcalf and Roman Wilson in Week 4.

But he should get back on track in Week 8 against the Cowboys, who are No. 10 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. A receiver has scored at least 12.9 PPR points against Dallas in every game this season, and Wilson has the best chance to do that for the Cardinals in Week 8.

Wilson remains a must-start Fantasy receiver in all leagues, but Cooper is also worth using in two-receiver leagues against the Raiders. While Wilson has struggled, Cooper has thrived against the Patriots and Dolphins with a combined 11 catches for 218 yards and two touchdowns on 12 targets. The Raiders have allowed a pair of receivers to score at least 11 PPR points in three of their past four games, with Tyquan Thornton and Xavier Worthy in Week 4, Demario Douglas and Kyle Williams in Week 5, and Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir in Week 6.

Wicks led the Eagles in Week 1 against the Commanders with two catches for 73 yards and a touchdown on four targets, but that was with Jalen Hurts (calf). Tanner McKee and Lemon seem to have a solid rapport, and that should help Lemon's Fantasy outlook in the rematch. WRs to Sit Projections powered by Sportsline 
Denzel Boston WR CLE Cleveland • #12
Age: 22 • Experience: Rookie Weekly Breakdown MATCHUP @ PIT PIT -3.5 O/U 39.5 OPP VS WR 14th PROJ PTS 8.9 WR RNK 29th YTD Stats REC 20 TAR 42 REYDS 372 TD 3 FPTS/G 11 Boston played well in the first game against Pittsburgh in Week 4 with four catches for 89 yards on seven targets, but he's been relatively quiet since. In his past three games against the Jets, Baltimore and Tennessee, Boston has combined for just seven catches for 88 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets, and he's combined for just 8.2 PPR points in his past two outings against the Ravens and Titans. No receiver has gained more than 57 yards against the Steelers in their past three games against Indianapolis, Tampa Bay and New Orleans, and Boston could struggle in the rematch if he fails to find the end zone. He is only worth starting in three-receiver leagues. 
Rome Odunze WR CHI Chicago • #15

Weekly Breakdown MATCHUP @ SEA SEA -3 O/U 46.5 OPP VS WR 1st PROJ PTS 8.9 WR RNK 40th YTD Stats REC 24 TAR 38 REYDS 381 TD 0 FPTS/G 8.6 Odunze had four catches for 69 yards on five targets in Week 7 against New England for 10.9 PPR points, and that was the best outing he had all season with Caleb Williams. Odunze scored 7.3 PPR points or less in three other games with Williams, and I don't expect Odunze to have a breakout performance in Week 8 at Seattle. The Seahawks are No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and only Terry McLaurin in Week 3 and Mike Evans in Week 5 have scored double digits in PPR against Seattle this year. I would still use Luther Burden III as a low-end No. 2 Fantasy receiver, but Odunze is barely worth starting in three-receiver leagues.

In two games without Rice, Worthy combined for 10 catches for 84 yards and no touchdowns on 13 targets, but he scored 14.3 PPR points against the Chargers in Week 6 and just 4.1 PPR points against Seattle in Week 7. Worthy had three catches for 18 yards on six targets in Week 1 against Denver, and he would be a low-end starter in three-receiver leagues at best whether Rice plays or not. The Broncos are No. 6 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers.

He had five catches for 94 yards on seven targets in Week 1 at Las Vegas and two catches for 70 yards and two touchdowns on three targets in Week 7 at the Jets. He injured his ankle in Week 2 at San Francisco and then missed three games, but hopefully he'll stay healthy for the remainder of the season. This week, Douglas could get matched up against New England cornerback Christian Gonzalez, which would be tough for him to make plays. I would only use Douglas as a low-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in most leagues in Week 8. Bust Alert (Start/Sit) Projections powered by Sportsline

But this is a difficult matchup for him against the Vikings, who are No. 4 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. Minnesota has allowed just one touchdown to a receiver since Week 1, and Williams has a terrible history against the Vikings. In his past five games against Minnesota, Williams has one touchdown and one game with double digits in PPR. I'm still starting him in all three-receiver leagues, but I would lower expectations for Williams in this matchup. TEs to start Projections powered by Sportsline

He has scored at least 13.2 PPR points in three games in a row against Baltimore, Chicago and San Francisco, and he has four touchdowns over that span. The Buccaneers are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and five tight ends have scored at least 10.4 PPR points against Tampa Bay this year. Pitts also loves facing the Buccaneers and has scored at least 12.9 PPR points in each of his past five meetings with Tampa Bay, including six touchdowns over that span.

The Dolphins are No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and five tight ends have scored at least 10.4 PPR points against Miami this season. Henry has scored at least 11.2 PPR points in four games in a row, and he should be considered a No. 1 Fantasy tight end in all leagues. Henry has two touchdowns in his past three games, and he should remain a go-to target for Drake Maye in this matchup.

Eight tight ends have scored at least 13.3 PPR points against Detroit this season with 10 touchdowns. Hockenson just had four catches for 35 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Week 7 against Indianapolis, and he has now scored at least 13.5 PPR points in two of his past three games. Kyler Murray is leaning on Hockenson with 18 targets in his past two games, and I like Hockenson as a top-10 Fantasy tight end in all leagues in Week 8.

Okonkwo has played well in his past two games prior to Week 8, with at least 10 PPR points in each outing against the Giants and 49ers. He has 11 catches for 129 yards on 13 targets over that span, and he should do well against Philadelphia. Three tight ends in the past four games against the Eagles -- Tyler Higbee in Week 4, Brenton Strange in Week 5 and Tommy Tremble in Week 6 -- have scored at least 11.7 PPR points, and I expect Okonkwo to be in that range in Week 8.

Pat Freiermuth in Week 5 and T.J. Hockenson in Week 7 each scored at least 13.5 PPR points against Indianapolis in the past three games. Strange comes off his bye in Week 7 having scored at least 9.4 PPR points in three games in a row. He should continue to be a go-to option for Trevor Lawrence, and I like Strange as a low-end starter in all leagues. He has also scored at least 10.0 PPR points in three of his past five meetings with the Colts.

This week, Mayer should get back on track against the Jets, who have allowed three tight ends (Colston Loveland in Week 4, Hunter Henry in Week 6 and Greg Dulcich in Week 7) to score at least 11.7 PPR points in the past four games. Prior to facing the Rams, Mayer had scored at least 12.2 PPR points in three of his past four games, and he should continue to be a go-to option in this offense while working in tandem with Brock Bowers.

Or he could be third once again behind Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen. That's what happened in each of the past two games against Arizona and Las Vegas when Higbee scored 6.2 and 3.4 PPR points in each outing, while Parkinson had 14.1 and 9.8 PPR points in the same games. Allen scored two touchdowns in Week 7 against the Raiders, and it's a guessing game you might want to avoid. I like Parkinson the best since he has 12 targets in his past two games compared to Higbee, who only has seven over that span.

He's struggled in each of his past two games against Tampa Bay and New Orleans with a combined 7.1 PPR points over that span, and Freiermuth has yet to clear 46 yards in any game this year. He'll likely need a touchdown to save his Fantasy production, and Cleveland has allowed four touchdowns to tight ends this season. But Darnell Washington can always be the Steelers tight end to score, and he has a touchdown in each of his past two games. I would only use Freiermuth in deeper leagues in Week 8.

But Ferguson will need a touchdown to reach that total, and he has not found the end zone since Week 3. He also had his worst game of the season in Week 7 at Philadelphia with no catches on just one target. And he has combined for eight catches for 43 yards and no touchdowns on 14 targets in his past four games. It's easy to sit Ferguson in most formats in Week 8.

But Fannin is only the second tight end to score a touchdown against the Steelers this season, and none have reached the end zone in the past three games, including matchups with Tyler Warren and Juwan Johnson. Fannin always has the potential for a big game as we saw against the Titans, but this is a tough matchup. He should be considered a low-end starter at best in most leagues. DST Projections powered by Sportsline Jaguars (vs. IND)
The Jaguars defense has the chance for a big game against the Colts, who traded guard Quenton Nelson this week to Seattle and were already struggling on offense. Indianapolis has allowed 10 sacks in the past two games against Tennessee and Minnesota, with four turnovers over that span. The Jaguars only have one sack and one turnover in their past two games against Philadelphia and Houston, but this should be a big game for the Jaguars DST in Week 8.
Sleepers (Start/Sit) Projections powered by SportslineBengals (vs. TEN) Chiefs (at DEN) Buccaneers (vs. ATL)

The Ravens defense hasn't got a turnover in each of the past two games against Cleveland and Cincinnati, and Baltimore had one sack against the Bengals in Week 7 while giving up 35 points. The Bills have scored at least 33 points in four of six games this season, and Josh Allen has been sacked four times in his past three games. This should be a rough game for the Ravens DST in Week 8.

But you never know each week how many field goal attempts he's going to miss out on with Dan Campbell going for it on fourth down, and Bates has a tough matchup in Week 8 against Minnesota. The Vikings are No. 5 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing kickers, and only Trey Smack in Week 1 and Chase McLaughlin in Week 3 have made multiple field goals against Minnesota this year.
