Texans Notes:
Matt Schaub – Schaub is a top 3 overall scorer so far this year in almost every format.
Steve Slaton – Sell-high if you can get an undervalued stud, but certainly do not sell-low.
Andre Johnson – If he plays, he might have a quiet, yet solid, outing… monitor his health.
Player | Match-Up | Week 8 Projections |
QB Ryan Fitzpatrick | vs. Texans | 200 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Marshawn Lynch | 65 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 12 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Fred Jackson | 30 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 42 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Terrell Owens | 4 recs, 55 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Lee Evans | 4 recs, 45 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Josh Reed | 1 recs, 9 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Derek Fine | 0 recs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Bills Notes:
Ryan Fitzpatrick – Fitz should start.
Marshawn Lynch – Back to 15+ carries, which means he could start bouncing back moving forward.
Terrell Owens – We still would not give up. Buy-low, but just ride it out if you already own him.

Bears Notes:
Matt Forte – Ok, so have said this for two weeks now… but this will be the week… trade for him on the cheap. Even better that he had another rough outing, he might be even cheaper to get via trade this week than last week.
Devin Hester – He could be inconsistent, but should have big games here and there — Like last week.

Houshmandzadeh | 4 recs, 45 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Deion Branch | 2 recs, 19 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE John Carlson | 4 recs, 49 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Seahawks Notes:
Justin Forsett – Forsett could eventually start – Grab him in deep leagues.
Player | Match-Up | Week 8 Projections |
QB Tony Romo | vs. Seahawks | 270 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Marion Barber | 50 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 11 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Felix Jones | 38 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 14 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Miles Austin | 6 recs, 90 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Roy Williams | 3 recs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Patrick Crayton | 3 recs, 35 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Jason Witten | 4 recs, 40 rec yds, 1 rec TDs |
Cowboys Notes:
Tony Romo – If you still want to sell-high, it is hard to blame you, but Romo could have one more good outing here against SEA — selling high after this week would not be the worst idea, but it depends on what you are getting in return.
Miles Austin – Is Austin a fantasy WR2? Could be.
Roy Williams – Bust of the year when it comes to middle-round receivers.

Lions Notes:
Matthew Stafford – Monitor his health all week.
Calvin Johnson – Buy-low, especially coming off a bye. Monitor his health, but we expect him to play in Week 8.

Player | Match-Up | Week 8 Projections |
QB Brett Favre | vs. Packers | 245 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Adrian Peterson | 119 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 8 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Sidney Rice | 5 recs, 80 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Percy Harvin | 3 recs, 45 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Bernard Berrian | 3 recs, 33 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Visanthe Shiancoe | 4 recs, 44 rec yds, 1 rec TDs |
Vikings Notes:
Brett Favre – Favre should play big, but Rodgers will respond.
Adrian Peterson – Big game.
Sidney Rice – Favre always turns someone into a stud – Rice is that guy this year.
Percy Harvin – Monitor his health.
Player | Match-Up | Week 8 Projections |
QB Aaron Rodgers | vs. Vikings | 305 pass yds, 3 pass TDs, 0 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Ryan Grant | 65 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 11 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Brandon Jackson | 9 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Greg Jennings | 6 recs, 99 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Donald Driver | 5 recs, 77 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR James Jones | 2 recs, 22 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Donald Lee | 3 recs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Packers Notes:
Aaron Rodgers – Rodgers will have his day.
Greg Jennings – We will not stop advising fantasy owners to buy-low on Jennings. Sorry.
Donald Driver – Driver looks good right now.

Player | Match-Up | Week 8 Projections |
QB Alex Smith | vs. Colts | 195 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Frank Gore | 70 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 22 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Glen Coffee | 22 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Josh Morgan | 3 recs, 29 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Isaac Bruce | 3 recs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Michael Crabtree | 3 recs, 33 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Vernon Davis | 4 recs, 45 rec yds, 1 rec TDs |
49ers Notes:
Frank Gore – He should look better during his second game back from injury.
Vernon Davis – Davis has been rock solid. As we said last week, expect his solid play to continue.
Player | Match-Up | Week 8 Projections |
QB Peyton Manning | vs. 49ers | 300 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 0 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Joseph Addai | 70 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 11 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Donald Brown | 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Reggie Wayne | 6 recs, 90 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Pierre Garcon | 2 recs, 20 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Austin Collie | 2 recs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Dallas Clark | 4 recs, 44 rec yds, 1 rec TDs |
Colts Notes:
Peyton Manning – Manning should have a big day.
Donald Brown – Out for possibly a couple of weeks.
Reggie Wayne – Wayne is arguably the best fantasy WR moving forward.

Player | Match-Up | Week 8 Projections |
QB Chad Henne | vs. Jets | 200 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Ronnie Brown | 90 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 10 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Ricky Williams | 55 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 22 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Ted Ginn | 4 recs, 40 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Greg Camarillo | 3 recs, 29 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Davone Bess | 1 recs, 9 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Anthony Fasano | 3 recs, 25 rec yds, 1 rec TDs |
Dolphins Notes:
Chad Henne – He will have ups and downs this year, but Henne will be a solid QB in this league and we like this offense.
Ronnie Brown – Use his mediocre Week 7 to your advantage and try to buy him cheap. Some Brown owners might actually feel like the ride is over and they may sell-low.
Ricky Williams – Use his Week 7 outing to your advantage and sell-high. Ricky is a decent flex, but remember that he is going to be inconsistent. Sell-high if you can.
Anthony Fasano – Solid sleeper TE in Weeks 7-16.
Player | Match-Up | Week 8 Projections |
QB Mark Sanchez | vs. Dolphins | 205 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Shonn Greene | 45 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Braylon Edwards | 4 recs, 65 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Jerricho Cotchery | 3 recs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR David Clowney | 2 recs, 22 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Dustin Keller | 4 recs, 40 rec yds, 1 rec TDs |
Jets Notes:
Mark Sanchez – Sanchez will be solid in this league – Just wait..
Shonn Greene – He may not get the kind of touches he got last week, but he is one step closer to starting. Jones is the starter until he gets hurt or starts slowing down, know that, but know that Greene is the future.

Player | Match-Up | Week 8 Projections |
QB David Garrard | vs. Titans | 200 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Maurice Jones-Drew | 100 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 22 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Rashad Jennings | 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Mike Sims-Walker | 5 recs, 95 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Torry Holt | 3 recs, 35 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Mike Thomas | 1 recs, 14 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Marcedes Lewis | 1 recs, 6 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Jaguars Notes:
Maurice Jones-Drew – MJD is a top 5 overall player moving forward. If he is being valued outside of the top 5 in your league, go get him!
Mike Sims-Walker – Is he for real? Some still wonder, but we think all he has to do is stay healthy, something that he has struggled with in the past. Time will tell.
Player | Match-Up | Week 8 Projections |
QB Vince Young | vs. Jaguars | 224 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 22 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Chris Johnson | 85 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 40 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | RB Javon Ringer | 20 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Kenny Britt | 2 recs, 22 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Justin Gage | 2 recs, 24 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Nate Washington | 3 recs, 32 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Bo Scaife | 4 recs, 40 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Titans Notes:
Chris Johnson – Beast.

Raiders Notes:
Michael Bush – If only he would get the touches.
Chaz Schilens – Monitor his health.
Zach Miller – The only player worth starting on the Raiders right now…

Chargers Notes:
Philip Rivers – Should have a HUGE game.
Vincent Jackson – Last week we said that he was one of the most undervalued low-end fantasy WR2s in the game. He might just be a WR1 now…
Antonio Gates – Gates is due for a big game.

Player | Match-Up | Week 8 Projections |
RB DeAngelo Williams | vs. Cardinals | 65 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Jonathan Stewart | 39 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Steve Smith | 4 recs, 45 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Muhsin Muhammad | 3 recs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Dwayne Jarrett | 0 recs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Jeff King | 2 recs, 15 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Panthers Notes:
DeAngelo Williams – Tough D, but D-Will should have a decent outing.
Dwayne Jarrett – Out.
Player | Match-Up | Week 8 Projections |
QB Kurt Warner | vs. Panthers | 265 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 0 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Chris Wells | 55 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Timothy Hightower | 40 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Larry Fitzgerald | 5 recs, 99 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Steve Breaston | 4 recs, 40 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Stephen Spach | 0 recs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |

Player | Match-Up | Week 8 Projections |
QB Eli Manning | vs. Eagles | 300 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 0 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Brandon Jacobs | 55 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 8 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Ahmad Bradshaw | 55 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 15 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Hakeem Nicks | 5 recs, 90 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Steve Smith | 5 recs, 80 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Mario Manningham | 5 recs, 70 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | TE Kevin Boss | 1 recs, 9 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Giants Notes:
Eli Manning – Manning has too many weapons now not to expect these kinds of numbers.
Brandon Jacobs – Jacobs looks back to form and ready to rumble.
Ahmad Bradshaw – Even though Jacobs is back to playing good football, there is plenty of room for Bradshaw to explode. In fact, a tough running Jacobs will only help Bradshaw make big plays.
Player | Match-Up | Week 8 Projections |
QB Donovan McNabb | vs. Giants | 222 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB LeSean McCoy | 75 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR DeSean Jackson | 6 recs, 90 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Jeremy Maclin | 3 recs, 39 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Jason Avant | 1 recs, 15 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Brent Celek | 3 recs, 33 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Eagles Notes:
LeSean McCoy – If he gets the start, he is quite possibly a strong fantasy RB2 in Week 8.
DeSean Jackson – What did we say last week? Invest! Invest! Invest! That is what we said. Expect more domination by Jackson moving forward.

Player | Match-Up | Week 8 Projections |

Roddy White – Buy-low!

Saints Notes:
Pierre Thomas – Buy-low! Buy-low! Buy-low!
Devery Henderson – He is due for that long TD catch.
