NFL Week 8 Start or Sit by Position
Updated · News Hub Fantasy projections in DraftKings points (full PPR)
Week 8 start/sit calls get complicated at the top of two positions, where News Hub Fantasy's DraftKings projections show no separation at all. At quarterback, Geno Smith, Michael Penix Jr., and Kirk Cousins are bunched together with zero gap between them, meaning the projections give analysts no edge to lean on for this trio.
Running back brings the same problem twice over. J.K. Dobbins and Jeremiyah Love project dead even, as do Omarion Hampton and Jordan Mason. With no statistical daylight separating these names, lineup decisions at QB and RB this week come down to factors outside the raw projection numbers themselves.
That's the call from the red zone. — Rhett
