But with the second-highest salary of all running backs at DraftKings this week, Kamara is a fade in DFS.Ĭordarrelle Patterson, Atlanta Falcons (vs. Kamara can't be benched in season-long fantasy leagues, and to be fair, the Chicago Bears had some success running the ball against Tampa in Week 7.
#WEEK 8 SUPERFLEX RANKINGS PRO#
The second-year pro is rested coming off Jacksonville's bye, he has been red hot of late and the Seahawks rank near the top of the league in PPR points per game given up to running backs.Īlvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints (vs. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better confluence of circumstances this week than Robinson's. James Robinson, Jacksonville Jaguars (at SEA) There isn't a team in the National Football League allowing more yards per game on the ground than the 162.5 the Chargers have surrendered in 2021. Harris must be butter, because he's on a roll-two straight games with over 100 yards on the ground and a touchdown. Per Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com, colleague Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that Barkley will probably sit out next Monday night's trip to Kansas City, opening the door for at least one more start for Devontae Booker.ĭamien Harris, New England Patriots (at LAC) The news isn't as good for Saquon Barkley of the New York Giants. It's not a sure thing that the 13th-ranked running back in PPR points per game will be back in action Sunday against Pittsburgh, but things appear to be trending in that direction. But there appears to be some good news in that regard as Week 8 gets underway.Īs Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk reported, Nick Chubb of the Cleveland Browns was on the field for Monday's first practice of the week after missing the past two games with an injured calf. In addition to having half a dozen teams (and players like Austin Ekeler of the Chargers and Najee Harris of the Steelers) on the shelf in Week 7, fantasy managers also had to contend with a boatload of injuries at the position. But this week the Steelers are coming out of their bye to face a Cleveland team ravaged by injuries that bounced them out of the postseason last year in Pittsburgh.
Roethlisberger isn't close to being the fantasy asset he once was. Things aren't going to get much easier this week against a Patriots defense that looked dominant last week against the Jets.īen Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers (at CLE) Herbert is another weekly fantasy starter who had Week 7 off after a miserable performance against the Baltimore Ravens the week before.
Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers (vs. But the Saints are a bottom-five fantasy matchup that has already held Aaron Rodgers in check this season. Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (at NO) Įxactly zero people are going to sit the Golden Boy after he became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw 600 touchdown passes during last week's blowout win over the Chicago Bears. Wentz has quietly put together three straight games with multiple touchdown passes and no interceptions. But for most of the season, Tennessee has been quite kind to opposing fantasy quarterbacks. Yes, the Titans just put the clamps on Mahomes.
On Monday night, Jones and the G-Men face a Kansas City Chiefs defense that has essentially been non-existent this season.Ĭarson Wentz, Indianapolis Colts (vs. It was quite the gutpunch, both for the Chiefs as a team and fantasy managers who more likely than not took a loss.ĭaniel Jones, New York Giants (at KC) ĭespite a banged-up wide receiver corps, Jones threw for 203 yards and a score with another 28 yards on the ground and even caught a 16-yard pass (one-handed, no less). The quarterbacks who out-pointed Mahomes in Week 7 include Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions, Case Keenum of the Cleveland Browns and Mike White of the New York Jets, who was an in-game replacement for Zach Wilson.
#WEEK 8 SUPERFLEX RANKINGS PROFESSIONAL#
The last thing they needed was another high-end signal-caller posting the biggest dud of his professional career.įor the first time since he became the starter for the Chiefs, Kansas City failed to score a touchdown with Patrick Mahomes at the helm Sunday in Nashville-he threw for a season-low 206 yards with an interception and a lost fumble.
Fantasy football managers had enough problems in Week 7 with six teams on a bye-weekly fantasy starters like Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings, Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys and Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills were unavailable.
