Week 8 Fantasy QBs: Rushers and High-Volume Passers Gain Value

Rushing upside, opponent pressure, recent passing volume, injury reports are dictating Week 8 quarterback start‑sit choices.

Overview

  • Rankings published Wednesday recommend starting Kyler Murray, Dak Prescott and Tanner McKee while calling Jacoby Brissett a viable streaming option based on matchup and recent usage.
  • Murray’s rushing ability is highlighted as a floor-builder against Detroit because his mobility can produce fantasy points even when passing output is limited.
  • Analysts advise sitting Jared Goff, Bryce Young and Justin Herbert due to tough pass defenses or protection concerns that are likely to reduce passing touchdowns and big plays.
  • Brissett’s appeal comes from consistently high pass attempts for Arizona, which can drive yardage and touchdown chances in week-to-week streaming plays.
  • Fantasy managers are urged to check late injury reports and offensive-line news before lock, since byes and short sample sizes mean matchups and projected pass volume should guide final lineup choices.
