Fantasy Football Week 8 sleepers: Makai Lemon ready to shine amid Eagles injuries
CBS Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Emeka Egbuka (foot) is out for Week 8, with A.J. Brown (knee/ankle) and Carnell Tate (shoulder) also unlikely to play, opening opportunities for sleepers on the Buccaneers, Patriots, and Titans.
- Buccaneers' Chris Godwin is a solid No. 3 Fantasy receiver option against Atlanta, while Ted Hurst, Tez Johnson, and Cade Otton are viable deep-league or streaming picks due to Egbuka's absence.
- Patriots' Hunter Henry is a top-five Fantasy tight end candidate facing a favorable Dolphins defense, with Eli Raridon and receivers Demario Douglas and Efton Chism III also worth considering in deeper leagues.
- Titans' Wan'Dale Robinson is a potential starter in three-receiver leagues against Cincinnati, likely leading the team in targets with Tate out, despite recent struggles.
- Recommended Week 8 DFS lineup highlights include QB Geno Smith, RBs Javonte Williams and Rhamondre Stevenson, WRs Zay Flowers, Garrett Wilson, Tre Tucker, TE Hunter Henry, and Buccaneers defense, with several players benefiting from favorable matchups and key injuries.
