More Week 8

Editor's Note: Welcome to Week 8! We are dealing with the column Start & Em & Sit & # 39; Em from Jamey Eisenberg a little differently this season. You always get the same in-depth analysis as you always do, we just present a little differently, in order to get it to you earlier in the day. This article takes a lot of time to write and in the past we usually sent it to you at night. This year, we will publish it position by position to put it quickly in your hands. Here is Jamey's view on wide receivers for this week.

Do not worry: if you want the classic Start & Em & Sit & # 39; Em, we'll publish it anyway at the end of the day, with each post included. For now, here is wide receiver.

Sleepers

• Danny Amendola (to HOU): Dolphins need Amendola with Kenny Stills (groin) and Albert Wilson (hip), and he has been great in the last two outings against Chicago and Detroit. In these matches, with Brock Osweiler in the center, Amendola has 14 catches for 143 yards and 18 touchdowns. It is worth using at least one flex # 3 / PPR on Thursday night.
• Geronimo Allison (at LAR): I'm waiting for Allison to play this week after being away since week 4 with a concussion injury. Before being injured, Allison had accumulated at least 12 PPR points in all four games he played this year, and he should be back in this range this week. We expect this game to be very powerful (Las Vegas has the over / under at 56.5 points), and all the main options of the attack by the Green Bay pass are worth it. To be used, especially if Allison is in good health.
• Tre "Quan Smith (at MIN): Smith made 73% of the shots at Week 7 in Baltimore, but he only managed three catches for 44 yards on six targets. He plays against Mary Minnesota, but he should avoid Xavier Rhodes, which could mean some shots on goal from Drew Brees. He is probably better suited to daily leagues than to seasonal formats, but Smith should be added in all leagues in case he starts to take off soon as No. 2 catcher in front of Michael Thomas.
• Chester Rogers (OAK): Andrew Luck only made 23 assists in Week 7 against Buffalo, but Rogers was tied for second with four goals, the total of TY Hilton, just behind Eric Ebron (seven years). He equalized Hilton at receptions with four and led the team with 40 yards. This is not impressive, but it shows that Rogers is not going away now that Hilton is back. And Ryan Grant (ankle) is also injured. Rogers can still be a No. 3 Fantasy receiver, especially in PPR, during Week 8 in Oakland.
• Chris Godwin (at CIN): Godwin did not score in Week 7 against Cleveland, and he finished with a minimal production with five catches for 59 yards on six targets, but I still have it against the Bengals this week . Cincinnati has allowed at least two receivers to score at least 11 PPR points in three of the last four games against Atlanta in Week 4, Pittsburgh in Week 6 and Kansas City last week. Godwin will obviously compete with Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson for the targets, but I still love Godwin as the No. 3 receiver of high-end fantasy in this match.
