FantasyPros Issues Week 8 Start/Sit Advice for Packers–Panthers Thursday Night Game
Recent workload changes and matchup metrics shape which players FantasyPros tells fantasy managers to start and sit.
Overview
- FantasyPros published its Week 8 Thursday Night start/sit pieces offering direct lineup guidance for the Packers vs. Panthers game.
- Josh Jacobs is recommended as a start after returning last week with 53.8% snap share, 57.9% rushing workload, and RB7 fantasy output on 16 touches.
- Analysts flag Green Bay’s defense since Week 3 as tough in the pass game while remaining vulnerable to explosive runs, which tempers quarterback and receiver upside.
- Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker are noted for clear target-share patterns with McMillan posting roughly a 21% target share in four full games with Coker, making McMillan a matchup-dependent start.
- Matthew Golden is labeled a high-upside WR2 by FantasyPros and the site encourages readers to use its Start/Sit, Who Should I Start?, and Waiver Wire tools to act on the advice.
