Overview
- Six teams are off in Week 8 — Cardinals, Lions, Jaguars, Raiders, Rams and Seahawks — shrinking starter-worthy running back choices in PPR and pushing managers to stream.
- Miami coach Mike McDaniel said Tua Tagovailoa will start against the Falcons, while Lamar Jackson missed Baltimore’s Monday bonus practice after the bye and his status remains uncertain.
- Mike Evans sustained a broken collarbone and is expected to miss significant time, positioning Tez Johnson as a key Tampa Bay add.
- Top widely recommended pickups include QBs Jaxson Dart, Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers, plus pass catchers Troy Franklin, Kayshon Boutte, Oronde Gadsden II and Juwan Johnson.
- Handcuff stashes are prioritized this week, with FantasyPros highlighting David Montgomery, Rachaad White, Zach Charbonnet, Tyler Allgeier, Blake Corum and Kyle Monangai among Tier 1 targets.
