D-Man's Week 8 Fantasy Football Sunday Report By: Dan Schreiber
Hello everyone, I'm Dan "D-Man" Schreiber, from the Empty The Bench Podcast Network. I'm going to explain, based on my three fantasy football PPR teams, what players you should start and bench for the week 8 Sunday games. Besides my three teams, I will discuss other players to start. I will discuss what players to bench that wouldn't be best to start and because of bye weeks as well. I'll also let you know which players not start because of injuries and bye weeks.
Players based on the three fantasy teams that I'm starting:
Team 1
QB: Justin Herbert
RB: Raheem Mostert & Derrick Henry
WR: Amon-Ra St. Brown & DJ Moore
TE: Dallas Goedert
W/R/T: Nico Collins
DEF: Chiefs
K: Brandon Aubrey
-It looks like Mostert will start Sunday, even though he has an ankle injury. If he ends up not playing, I'm putting him in his place Dameon Pierce.
-I used to have the kicker Jake Moody. Then I dropped him this week because he wasn't producing as well, putting up points for multiple weeks. I picked up Aubrey and dropped Moody. Aubrey is putting up points better, and I recommend picking him up.
Team 2
QB: Justin Herbert
RB: Austin Ekeler & Alvin Kamara
WR: Amon-Ra St. Brown & Chris Olave
TE: Darren Waller
W/R/T: Christian Kirk
DEF: Bills (Already Played Thursday)
K: Dustin Hopkins
-It looks like Waller will start Sunday, even though he's dealing with a hamstring injury. If he ends up not playing, I'm putting him in his place Dalton Schultz.
-I used to have the kicker, Tyler Bass. Then I dropped him this week because he wasn't putting up points well for multiple weeks, and when comparing Bass and Hopkins' stats, I picked up Hopkins because he is doing much better than Bass. I recommend picking him up.
Team 3
QB: Trevor Lawrence
RB: Bijan Robinson & Travis Etienne
WR: Amon-Ra St. Brown
Chris Godwin (Already Played Thursday)
TE: Dallas Goedert
W/R/T: Isiah Pacheco
DEF: Browns
K: Dustin Hopkins
Players based on my three fantasy teams because I feel not best to start, injuries, and bye weeks:
Team 1
RB: Dameon Pierce, Tyjae Spears, and Jerome Ford
TE: Gerald Everett
DEF: Browns
Team 2
