Week 7 of the Fantasy football season is in the books and it's time to decide who to start and who to sit in Week 8. 

But before you finalize your roster for Week 8, you'll want to see what SportsLine Fantasy analyst Brandon Marianne Lee has to say. Lee is a radio host on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio, an on-camera analyst for Fantasy Alarm, and a Fantasy contributor to The Athletic.

Now, she's giving SportsLine members 12 unconventional players to consider for starting lineups in Week 8. One we'll give away: Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson, whose target share will explode now that Amari Cooper is in Dallas.

"Lots of changes for the Raiders over the last week, one of which was when they traded away Amari Cooper," Lee said. "In Week 6 before the Raiders' bye, Nelson did little to nothing. He caught two of his three targets for six yards. Ouch. But in the three weeks before, he had a touchdown in each outing and averaged 6.7 targets per game. Now that Cooper is gone, I see the targets going up for Nelson, and if they get near an end zone, he's the guy. He's a volume play with exceptional value in PPR formats."

Lee has also identified a must-start quarterback who is set to go off against a defense that has struggled defending the pass. This pick could be the difference between winning your Week 8 matchup or going home with a loss.
