Week 8 Fantasy Football Sleepers: 2 rookie receivers stick out as underrated options off the waiver wire
Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Week 7 fantasy sleepers Jaylin Noel and Tyrone Tracy Jr. were sidelined by injuries, while Geno Smith and Omar Cooper Jr. performed well against the Dolphins.
- QB Jacoby Brissett faces the Cowboys' weak defense in Week 8, with expectations of a high-volume passing game as Arizona aims for around 30 points.
- WR Makai Lemon could see increased targets if DeVonta Smith (hamstring) sits out against Washington, who ranks as a favorable matchup for wide receivers.
- TE Chig Okonkwo and WR Antonio Williams are key Washington players to watch with Terry McLaurin out for the season, especially against the Eagles' defense that struggles more with wide receivers than tight ends.
- TE Mike Gesicki remains a potential touchdown threat for the Dolphins against the Titans, while RB Bam Knight may carve out a role with Arizona due to recent productive touches and a vulnerable Cowboys defense.
