Money Makers and Heart Breakers (Fantasy Football 2020 – Week 8)

0

Boom shaka laka yo here comes the Chief Rocka
Rock it down, so jump up off the tip you’re not my knocka
For sharper type to battle make the people say ooh ah
Think I won’t curse, I’ll break down and say puta

If you don’t know that song it is “Chief Rocka” from Lords of the Underground

Do you know who the Chief Rocka is, you probably expect me to say me. I hate to tell you this as I see people talking about this guy saying to play other people over him.  Justin Herbert, is literally the Chief Rocka right now at QB.  He is the overall QB15 after playing in only 5 games. Look at his numbers:

  • 311 passing yards, 2 total TD
  • 330 passing yards, 1 TD
  • 290 passing yards, 3 TD
  • 264 passing yards, 4 TD
  • 347 passing yards, 68 rushing yards, 4 total TD

There are only a few guys I am looking to start over this amazing player right now in fantasy.  He is literally up there with the best of the best.

So now what do they say, when Herbert’s walkin’ up the block?
Boom shaka laka there goes the Chief Rocka

If you are new around here this is how it works:

Money Maker – I think this person will perform well this week and be better than expectations

Heart Breaker – These players will not meet projections

Quarterbacks

💰 Money Makers

Jimmy Garopollo

Do you know who gets to play the Seahawks this week?  It’s Jimmy G and Niners. That’s right the same Seahawks team that is giving up an average of 378 passing yards and 2 touchdowns a game through the air. The Niners running game is dinged up but Jimmy G, Aiyuk, and Kittle will get it done on offense through the air.  ($6,600 on Fanduel and $5,400 on DraftKings)

Baker Mayfield

I know you read this and said “are you friggin kidding me? He just lost Odell Beckham and has been really bad all season”.  Well, he wasn’t bad last week, he was actually really good.  This week Mayfield is playing the Raiders who are the fourth friendliest defense to quarterbacks in the league.  Against the Bengals last week Mayfield dropped 297 yards and 5 touchdowns on the Bengals, I would look for him to break 300 again this week. ($7,200 on Fanduel and $6,100 on DraftKings)

NOTE: See more about Baker Mayfield in Stream Options by Kyle Larson

Derek Carr

Carr has multiple touchdowns in 5 straight games. He has also passed for over 250 yards in 5 straight games.  The Browns and Raiders are both bottom of the barrel defenses against the pass and this game looks like it could easily turn into a shootout. I like Carr’s rest of season schedule by the way as I have already mentioned in Untangling the Wire.  ($7,300 on Fanduel and $5,500 on DraftKings)

Other quarterbacks I like in week 5:

There is the obvious: Russell Wilson, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson.

The not so obvious: Brett Rypien, Justin Herbert and Ryan Tannehill.

💔 Heart Breakers

Drew Brees

Currently the QB20 in fantasy football he is going up against the toughest defense against quarterbacks in Week 8.  The Bears give up an average of 236 yards per game and less than one touchdown.  If he is your guy in season-long you are probably playing him, I would avoid in DFS this week.

Matthew Stafford

The Colts have been tough against the quarterback position all season.  Stafford has been the king of mediocrity thus far this season.  Stafford is currently the QB23.  Pretty much YUCK.

Others quarterbacks to avoid: Daniel Jones, Josh Allen, and Tua Tagovailoa

Running Backs

💰 Money Makers

Dalvin Cook

Cook is coming back from a groin injury in week 8.  The Packers are the worst defense against the running back position.  They practically hug and kiss running backs they are so friendly.  IN Week 1 Cook tagged them for 2 touchdowns.  I know he is a stud and you shouldn’t need me to tell you to play him but if he is active it doesn’t get better than this week. ($ 9,200 on Fanduel and $7,500 on DraftKings)

Jonathan Taylor

Taylor has been super consistent this season for the Colts. Detroit has also been super consistent with allowing running backs to do well against them.  Taylor will do it by land and by air against the Lions and produce for you in Week 8. ($7,300 on Fanduel and $6,600 on DraftKings)

Other running backs to play:

The obvious: Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara, Kareem Hunt, and Aaron Jones

The not so obvious: Miles Sanders (or Boston Scott), Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Darrel Henderson

💔 Heart Breakers

Carlos Hyde

Essentially whoever the running back is that is playing for the Seahawks in Week 8.  The Niners are the toughest run defense in the league at least for fantasy purposes and that is all we care about in this article. So unless you are VERY needy or Chris Carson plays I would avoid the running backs from the Seahawks this week.

J.K. Dobbins

The Steelers are SO tough against the run.  They have not allowed a 100-yard rusher yet this season.  The Steelers give up an average of 58 yards per game on the ground.  This is going to be tough going for the Ravens run game and I Would not be playing any of the Ravens running backs.

Ezekiel Elliott

If you have him on your roster you are playing him, but in Week 8 he is going up against a top ten run defense.  In the last two games without Dak Prescott he has totaled 131 yards an no touchdowns on 33 touches.  The volume is somewhat there but the production is way off.  Avoid Zeke in DFS.

Other running backs that will cost you in Week 8: David Montgomery, Myles Gaskin and Devonta Freeman.

Wide Receivers

💰 Money Makers

Brandon Aiyuk

In Week 7, Aiyuk had 28% of the target share being targeted 7 times and he had 6 receptions for 115 yards.  Deebo Samuel is going to miss Week 8.  The Niners are playing the Seahawks who allow the most points to wide receivers in fantasy football.  It is somewhat easy to see where this is going.  Aiyuk is going to have a lot of yards and a touchdown. ($5,900 on Fanduel and $5,800 on DraftKings)

Nelson Agholor

Agholor and potentially Henry Ruggs will produce in Week 8 against the Browns.  Why you ask will this happen.  In Week 7 Agholor had 25% of the target share for the Raiders. Agholor has a touchdown in 3 straight games and the Browns have given up touchdowns to wide receivers in 6 of 7 games this season.  ($5,000 on Fanduel and $4,700 on DraftKings)

Tee Higgins

Against the Browns Higgins has 5 receptions for 71 yards and a touchdown.  He has been heavily involved in the passing game and the Browns aren’t very good against wide receivers (2nd worst). Expect Higgins, Tyler Boyd, and even AJ Green to produce in Week 8. ($5,400 on Fanduel and $4,900 on DraftKings)

Marquise Brown

The Steelers are unbelievable against the run, against the pass they are a bottom 10 defense.  They have given up a touchdown to a wide receiver in all but one game this season. This is a nice place for Brown to get volume and have success.  He’s seen 6 or more targets in every game this season.  That should lead him to success in Week 8.  ($5,900 on Fanduel and $6,100 on DraftKings)

Other wide receivers to play:

The obvious: Davante Adams, Tyler Lockett, and Tyreek Hill

The not so obvious:  – Rashard Higgins, Jarvis Landry, Travis Fulgham, and Darnell Mooney

💔 Heart Breakers

Devante Parker

Parker has a rookie quarterback throwing him the ball in his first game and he gets to be covered by Jalen Ramsey. Not sure I need to say anything else in regards to this.  Only Cole Beasley has a 100 yard game against the Rams this season and the Rams have no given up a touchdown to a wide receiver in 2020. Avoid.

Other wide receivers will cost you: Sterling Shepard, Tim Patrick, and Dionte Johnson

Tight Ends Week 5

💰 Money Makers

Jimmy Graham

Graham has been getting targeted regularly in the Bears passing offense, having 5 or more targets in all but one game this season.  The Saints are the 2nd worst defense against the tight end this season. With Allen Robinson in concussion protocol and unlikely to play someone has to pick up the slack.  Graham is that someone. ($5,400 on Fanduel and $4,600 on DraftKings)

Richard Rodgers

In Week 7 Rodgers had 6 receptions for 85 yards. In Week 8 The Cowboys come to town with the 9th worst defense against the tight end.  The Cowboys give up 5 receptions and 50 yards to the position on average.  If you are TE needy this week here is your guy.

Other tight ends to play:

The obvious Jonnu Smith, Darren Waller, George Kittle, Mark Andrews and Travis Kelce

The not so obvious: Rob Gronkowski, Dalton Shultz, and Noah Fant

💔 Heart Breakers

T.J. Hockenson

The Colts are the best defense against tight ends, giving up an average of 22 yards per game.  The Colts have not given up a touchdown to the position yet this season. The Lions play the Colts in Week 8. You are definitely picking up what I am putting down.  The passing attack of the Lions will not move the ball through Hockenson in Week 8

Trey Burton

Burton has been pretty good as of late. In Week 6 he rushed for a touchdown and caught a touchdown, to go along with 58 yards receiving.  The Lions one give up 27 yards and 3 receptions a game to the position.  With an anemic QB, I am looking elsewhere in Week 8.

Other tight ends that will cost you: Tyler Higbee.

Respect the Flex (Fantasy Football 2020 – Week 8)

0

Welcome to The Undroppables weekly “Flex” play article, bringing you the flex suggestions for your league. As stated in previous articles, this article is written to help with difficult start options. If you boast a very strong team full of star caliber players, do not overthink it and switch out your guys. Lock in your studs and go with the safe points. For those not as lucky, we got you covered.

Our consensus panel now boasts a record of 17-6-2 (2 coming from postponed games) after a perfect Week 7. Onward to Week 8. To send your questions for future weeks, you can tag me @KayneRob on Twitter.

Let’s get to it!

Flex Plays of the Week

Shallow League Flex Plays (10 or fewer teams)

Jonathan Taylor @ Detroit Lions

The only teams to not find real success on the ground vs the Lions are the Bears & Cardinals. Outside of those two teams, the Lions have given up 2+ scores on the ground in 4/6 games. Taylor has had a slower start to the year, but this week needs to be a smash play with no second thoughts.

Justin Jefferson vs Green Bay Packers

In their first meeting, Jefferson wasn’t even a blip on the radar. Yet entering Week 8, this is a whole new WR with a whole lot of confidence. The Packers will likely continue to focus on stopping Thielen & Cook who have given the Packers problems. I expect that focus will allow Jefferson to have open looks and a big role in this Week 1 rematch.

Standard League Flex Plays (12 teams)

Brandon Aiyuk @ Seattle Seahawks

The injuries continue to pile up for the 49ers with Deebo Samuel and Jeff Wilson being added to the list. With Deebo down and going to play one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL Aiyuk is a smash play in week 8. Add in the fact that Aiyuk is coming off his most successful outing yet and his confidence should only continue to build this week.

Scotty Miller @ New York Giants

If you have Scotty Miller on the roster this will likely be the last week you can play him in 2020. Add in the fact that Godwin will be out due to injury and his opportunity and target share should be intriguing against a poor Giants team during primetime. Additionally, James Bradberry will be in coverage on Evans for the majority of the game so I anticipate Miller will find more open space on the field.

Deeper League Flex Plays (14 or more teams)

Donovan Peoples-Jones vs Las Vegas Raiders

With OBJ out for the rest of the year, DPJ (all the WR initials) should see a significant increase in opportunity. He was able to bring all three of his targets, including a game-winning TD, in Week 7. I like his upside in super deep leagues as opportunity drastically increases.

Darnell Mooney vs New Orleans Saints

I had Mooney as the guy in Week 7 as well and if it weren’t for Foles being extremely inaccurate on 3 big plays, Mooney would have had a MONSTER day. We are riding with him again as both the targets and snap % continue to increase. His breakout game is coming sooner than later.

Boom or Bust Flex Plays

Preston Williams vs Los Angeles Rams

This play is very risky but could reap nice rewards if the connection is there with new starting QB Tua Tagovailoa. They both had great training camps together and I don’t see why this can’t be the opportunity for them both to shine once again. Jalen Ramsey will likely cover Parker a lot in this game so Preston is a solid option for the rookie in his first start. You’ll need a TD but the boom could be great if it hits.

CeeDee Lamb @ Philadelphia Eagles

This is not the section I imagined Lamb showing up in when we first saw the Cowboys in 2020. That said the hits to QBs and OL both in Dallas leads to this designation. I believe the talent on the field and the ability to create space will allow for opportunities. Yet he will likely need to have a TD in order to have a solid outing for you. The Eagles have been in a lot of high scoring matches the past few weeks, leaving an opportunity for TDs in this game.

JaMycal Hasty @ Seattle Seahawks

Hasty has been efficient in the past two weeks with the opportunities he has been given. I think he should see a significant amount of work on the ground. That said, the bust risk comes with the 49ers playing from behind against this elite offense and week pass defense. Hasty likely will lead the groundwork though allowing the opportunity for a huge boom. Temper your expectations.

The Undroppables Survey Says

Best for last, we go back to the Twittersphere asking for your toughest flex questions. Below are some of those questions we received with a panel of 5 members of The Undroppables bringing you our consensus votes for Week 8:

The Undroppables Consensus: Aiyuk (5 votes)

Reason: (See reasoning in article above) AIYUK ABOUT TO EAT! –@fantasydukes

The Undroppables Consensus: Crowder, again, if he plays (3 votes)

Reason: Crowder is the only piece on the Jets roster that looks like a quality football player on the field when he is playing. He is 8th in fantasy ppg. Availability has been his only issue, so if he is on the field then he’s in my lineup. –@KayneRob

The Undroppables Consensus: Michael Thomas, if playing. If not, then Corey Davis (3 votes) (Scotty Miller 2 votes)

Reasons: Corey Davis is getting a large target share with a great QB exactly what you want in fantasy. –@BpoFSU

The Undroppables Consensus: Boston Scott (4 votes) (Fournette 1 vote)

Reason: I’m assuming Sanders will sit again. –@PauliesSleepers

The Undroppables Consensus: Perine (4 votes)

Reason: Gore is banged up. I expect Perine to see check down work late in this game. He saw 70% of snaps last week and NYJ wants to see what they have in him. That is enough for me to play him over any Giants WR vs Tampa defense. –@fantasydukes

The Stream Option (Fantasy Football 2020 – Week 8)

0

The Stream Option is a weekly article where The Undroppables explore the best options at Quarterback, Defense, and Tight End that should be available in most leagues.
*Note: ESPN rostership rates were gathered on 10/27/2020 and are subject to change.

Quarterbacks

Teddy Bridgewater – CAR vs ATL

Teddy Bridgewater, the current QB18, will get his second shot at the Falcons of the 2020 season in Week 8. In his first game against Atlanta, (who are the best fantasy matchup for QBs so far this season) Bridgewater ended with 20.82 fantasy points. Meanwhile, Bridgewater is coming off a 19.16 fantasy point output last week. In addition, the Panthers’ most dangerous weapon, Christian McCaffrey, may once again be in the fold in this Thursday Night Football matchup. Bridgewater is only rostered in 38.8% of ESPN leagues, but be mindful that he has to be in your lineup before 8:20PM EST on Thursday.

Baker Mayfield – CLE vs LV

Baker is coming off one of the best games of his young career after completing 22 of 23 passes and throwing five touchdowns after an 0 for 5 start against Cincinnati. The Las Vegas defense is probably even worse than the Bengals, as they are currently ranked as the 3rd best matchup for fantasy quarterbacks. I expect Baker to hold onto last week’s form going into this game and show out again in fantasy. Mayfield is only rostered in 17.5% of ESPN leagues, so expect him to be around for you to play.

Tight Ends

Richard Rodgers – PHI vs DAL

With Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert both on the injured reserve, Richard Rodgers has seen his role in the Eagles offense greatly increase. He saw eight targets in last week’s game versus the Giants and hauled in six of them for 85 yards. The opportunity is there against a Dallas defense that allowed 16.9 fantasy points to Washington’s Logan Thomas last week. Rodgers is only rostered in 6.5% of ESPN leagues, so he should be widely available. Rodgers is a great spot start for managers with starting tight ends facing tough defenses in Week 8, like T.J. Hockenson and Rob Gronkowski.

Mike Gesicki – MIA vs LAR

Not really a stream, but Gesicki’s rostership went down 17.3% over Miami’s bye last week. The young, athletic tight end has the opportunity to grow alongside rookie QB Tua Tagovailoa over the rest of the season, and he should see ample opportunity to showcase his abilities. Gesicki is only rostered in 61.3% of ESPN leagues and faces the 10th best defensive matchup for fantasy tight ends in the Rams next week.

Defenses

Kansas City Chiefs D/ST – KC vs NYJ

I recommended the Chiefs last week, and Week 8 offers another opportunity to start the Chiefs in a juicy matchup after they turned out an astounding 21 points last week. The Chiefs’ rostership increased by a large amount with last week’s matchup, now at 78.5% on ESPN. However, if you picked them up due to my recommendation last week just keep them plugged into your lineup. Just to wrap up: the Chiefs Defense is currently the fifth ranked defense in fantasy football while the Jets are the best matchup for fantasy defenses. Adam Gase and Sam Darnold just can not get anything going on the offensive side of the football, and while that is bad for offensive fantasy assets in New York, it is great for the opposing defenses.

Los Angeles Chargers D/ST – LAC @ DEN

The Denver Broncos allowed 21 fantasy points last week to the aforementioned Chiefs Defense, and the Chargers are coming off an eight point performance of their own against Jacksonville last week. They should be in line for another solid outing as one of the top defenses in fantasy. Currently, the Chargers are rostered in 46.5% of ESPN leagues, so they may be rostered in your leagues, but they are a great option if not.

Lower quality, lower rostership options: Saints D/ST @ CHI (42.5% rostership), Titans D/ST @ CIN (16.2% rostership)

For more options for additions to your lineup, check out Mike Reedy’s Waiver Wire article for Week 8, and feel free to reach out to me with questions on Twitter, @KL_Fantasy, or on my FF_Chat Discord AMA on 10/27 at 8:30 PM EST.

UNtangling the Waiver Wire (Fantasy Football 2020 – Week 8)

As you hit my intro this week, you might be thinking “he didn’t add a song”.  I needed to switch it up to keep my creative juice’s flowing.  It also will keep all of you on your toes.

Before we dive into waiver wire adds for this week, I am going to ask you all to go out and do something good for someone else.  Hold a door, let someone cross the street in front of you.  Do that thing where you pay for the coffee of the person behind you in line at the drive through.  Essentially anything.  Get out there, smile at the world and be kind to someone, anyone.  Do me that little favor before Week 8.  I am positive you will feel better about yourself by making someone else’s day.

Thank you!

NOTE: This column refers to players rostered in under 50% of Yahoo leagues and ESPN Leagues.

Quarterbacks

Derek Carr – Carr has passed for at least 1 touchdown in each game this season and has multiple touchdowns in 5 straight games.  In Week 7 Carr went against a very tough Tampa Bay defense and threw for 284 yards and 2 touchdowns.  Carr has a very nice rest of season schedule in which he draws the Chargers twice and the Falcons once. If you have been hit with losing Dak Prescott then Car will be a nice fill in. 29% rostered in Yahoo, 25% in ESPN, 90% on Sleeper (10% FAAB).

Teddy Bridgewater – In Week 5 Bridgewater threw for 313 yards and 3 touchdowns against the Falcons. The worst defense against the quarterback position after 7 weeks is the Atlanta Falcons.  In Week 8 Teddy gets to play the Falcons again.  This is pretty easy if you are streaming or needy at quarterback. 44% rostered in Yahoo, 30% in ESPN, 94% on Sleeper. (10% FAAB)

Baker Mayfield – Mayfield had an amazing Week 7 against the Bengals passing for 5 touchdowns and 297 yards.  6 players had 3 or more targets from Baker in this game.  Four different players caught touchdowns. Losing Odell Beckham is something that looked like it would be devastating to this team but appears to have been liberating to the passing offense. (4% FAAB)

Other Quarterbacks to consider: Kirk Cousins and Tua Tagovailoa.

Running Backs

Carlos Hyde – In Week 7 Chris Carson sprained his foot and will possibly miss some time. That brought Hyde to the forefront of the Seahawks rushing attack.  Hyde averaged 4.5 YPC for 68 yards and a touchdown, with 18 total touches in Week 8.  Hyde projects to be a RB2 Week 9 against the Niners.  12% rostered in Yahoo, 5% in ESPN, 72% in Sleeper. (10% FAAB)

JaMycal Hasty – I mentioned hasty as someone to consider last week.  In Week 7, the Niners lost another running back ahead of Hasty, and Hasty responded by averaging 5.2 yards per carry for 57 yards.  He may be the last man standing for the Niners in Week 8.  21% rostered in Yahoo, 3% in ESPN, 78% in Sleeper.   (4% FAAB)

Damien Harris –  Averaging 5 yards per carry for the Patriots this season, it’s only a matter of time before Harris has an uptick in carries. Harris had 11 touches for a total of 70 yards in Week 7. He is clearly the best option for success that the Patriots have on offense right now. 47% rostered in Yahoo, 28% in ESPN, 97% in Sleeper. (5% FAAB)

Other running backs to consider: Gus Edwards, Wayne Gallman, La’Mical Perine, and Joshua Kelley.

NOTE: If available, Chase Edmonds is the top pick up at running back. He is rostered in 63% of yahoo leagues.

Wide Receivers

Rashard Higgins – In the last three weeks, Higgins has had at least a touchdown or 100 yards.  With Odell Beckham out for the season with a knee injury, Higgins becomes an every-down player for the Browns. He saw 6 targets after Beckham’s injury on Sunday.  Higgins made the most of these targets with 6 receptions for 110 yards. 3% rostered in Yahoo, 0% rostered in ESPN, 23% in Sleeper.  (5% of FAAB)

Christian Kirk –  Yes, he was a money maker for Week 6 and again in Week 7.  Kirk had 2 touchdowns in Week 6 and followed it up again with 2 touchdowns in Week 7. On a bye this coming week, he is still worth an add if you are in need of a good wide receiver for the rest of the season. 55% rostered in Yahoo, 48% in ESPN, 99% in Sleeper. (10% FAAB)

Cole Beasley – Beasley only has one game with less than 6 targets on the season.  In Week 7 Beasley was targeted 12 times and had 11 receptions for 112 yards. If Beasley continues on this pace he is looking at a 90 reception season.  So, if you are playing PPR and he is available, I would make the add. 41% rostered in Yahoo, 41% in ESPN, 92% in Sleeper. (8% FAAB)

Brandon Aiyuk – In Week 7 Aiyuk had 6 receptions for 115 yards. Deebo Samuel left with an injury, which makes Aiyuk the #1 WR for the Niners. The friendliest defense to wide receivers is up in Week 9, the Seattle Seahawks.  Aiyuk is looking at perhaps his biggest week as a pro in Week 9. 49% rostered in Yahoo, 20% in ESPN, 99% in Sleeper. (8% FAAB)

Marquez Callaway – Callaway is a name you may or may not know.  The last two weeks of play for the Saints, Callaway has seen 16 targets for 12 receptions and 109 yards. If Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders miss more time it looks like Callaway will continue to grow his role in the Saints offense.  1% rostered in Yahoo, 0% in ESPN, 38% in Sleeper.

Other wide receivers to consider: Sterling Shepard, Nelson Agholor, Tim Patrick, and Corey Davis.

NOTE: Ruggs rostered in 51% of Yahoo leagues and is someone if available I would prioritize as an add as well.

Tight Ends

Dallas Goedert – Goedert came off of IR last week.  Ertz is out for 3-4 weeks. The Eagles need help with all of their injuries as DeSean Jackson is now added to the list again.  Goedert saw 17 targets in the first two games prior to his injury.  He is the top add at tight end if you are needy, and many of us are. 47% rostered in Yahoo, 28% in ESPN, 98% in Sleeper. (10% FAAB)

Trey Burton – Burton rushed for a touchdown and caught 4 passes for 58 yards and another touchdown against the Bengals in Week 6.  As I mentioned last week, here in this column. He is still only 21% rostered in Yahoo, 6% in ESPN, 80% rostered in Sleeper. (5% FAAB)

Other tight ends to consider: Logan Thomas and Eric Ebron
