Week 8 Fantasy Football Sleepers and Disappointments

NEW YORK, NY — Week 8 of the NFL season brings “Bye-mageddon,” affecting numerous fantasy football managers. With six teams on bye, many players face challenging decisions about lineup choices. Fortunately, experts have shared insights on sleeper picks and potential disappointments to aid decision-making.

One notable sleeper is Jaylin Noel, a rookie wide receiver for the Houston Texans. Ranked outside the top 100, Noel had a strong performance in Week 7, catching four passes for 77 yards. With teammate Nico Collins likely out due to injury, Noel may see increased opportunities to shine.

Chimere Dike from the Tennessee Titans also stands out after a breakout game against the New England Patriots. Last week, he caught four passes for 70 yards and a touchdown and may step up again if fellow receiver Ridley remains sidelined.

Another player to watch is Garrett Wilson of the New York Jets. After an injury knocked him out of Week 7, if he plays this week, he could become a top-performing receiver with a better quarterback at the helm.

On the other hand, some players may disappoint this week. Alvin Kamara of the New Orleans Saints, once a top draft pick, is struggling. At 30, his performance has declined, and he often plays from behind, limiting his fantasy points.

Expectations for A.J. Brown of the Philadelphia Eagles are also tempered as he faces a tough matchup against the Giants. Previous performances raise concerns about whether he can produce at a level to satisfy fantasy owners.

With so many factors at play, staying updated and making strategic choices is crucial as Bye-mageddon unfolds. Managing risks and seizing opportunities could make all the difference in fantasy outcomes this week.
