Not everyone has the luxury of slotting Ja'Marr Chase, Puka Nacua or CeeDee Lamb into Week 8 Fantasy football lineups. Many people have to search for Fantasy sleepers or streamers at the wideout position, and a number of rookies should be on your radar. Omar Cooper has back-to-back 100-yard games, KC Concepcion is coming off an 8-catch, 129-yard outing, and Caleb Douglas found the endzone twice last Sunday. With four teams on byes and various injuries at the receiver position, it's interesting to see where these players find themselves in the Week 8 Fantasy football rankings.
When making Fantasy start-sit decisions, one shouldn't overlook the defenses a player is facing. No team allows more Fantasy points to receivers than the Bills, while no squad allows fewer points than the Seahawks. Where do the Week 8 Fantasy football projections forecast for the respective wideouts they're facing on Sunday?
Before setting your Week 8 Fantasy football lineups, you NEED to see the Week 8 Fantasy football rankings from SportsLine's advanced computer model.
When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine's model beat human experts for the past several seasons, especially when there were big differences in ranking! That could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home empty-handed.
Now the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has revealed its latest Week 8 Fantasy football rankings.
One player the model is high on this week: Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange, despite him being just the TE20 on the year. And a massive shocker: Quinshon Judkins, who's averaged 83.3 total yards with 3 TDs over his last three games, doesn't even crack the top 25 at his position this week!
The model is also calling for a SHOCKING wideout you aren't even thinking about to finish in the top 20 of its Week 8 Fantasy football rankings! This pick could be the difference between winning BIG and going home with nothing. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in your lineups.
