Fantasy Football Week 8 Rankings & Start/Sit Advice
Week 8 Player Notes & Start/Sit Advice
Jared Goff (DET) vs. MIA: Lions +3.5 | 51.5 O/U
- I can’t say much positive about Goff, but at least his 7.2 AY/A (No. 11) and 52.6 QBR (No. 15) are better than average.
- The Dolphins defense is No. 29 in dropback SR (50.7%).
Sam Ehlinger (IND) vs. WAS: Colts -3 | 40 O/U
- Thanks to former starter Matt Ryan’s post-salary benching, Ehlinger is one of our top Week 8 DFS value plays for both DraftKings and FanDuel.
- Ehlinger was a preseason star in August with 24-of-29 for 289-4-0 passing, and he has the running ability to accumulate fantasy points on the ground (459-2,510-33 rushing in college, excluding sacks).
- The Commanders are No. 29 in defensive pass DVOA (15.2%, per Football Outsiders).
- I’m buying Ehlinger.
