Dallas Cowboys rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci struggled in a loss to the Eagles in Week 8. Filling in for Andy Dalton (concussion), who was filling in for Dak Prescott (ankle), DiNucci completed 21 of his 40 pass attempts for 180 scoreless yards. He did not throw an interception, but he did lose two fumbles, one of which was a strip sack returned for a touchdown.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker has posted back-to-back rough performances. In Week 8, Parker hauled in one of his two targets for a touchdown in the win over the Los Angeles Rams. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa finished with 93 total passing yards, so it’s tough to put all the blame on Parker here. Sadly, Parker will draw elite defensive back Patrick Peterson next week in

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida was expected to have a significant role in this offense when he joined the organization over the offseason. However, Myles Gaskin has run away with the lead back role in Miami. Since then, Jordan Howard has been benched and Breida still can’t hold value even as the only other back getting touches. He rushed four times for 13 yards

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin continues to be a reliable contributor in both the running and passing game for this offense. He rushed 18 times for 47 yards and one touchdown in the Week 8 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He also hauled in three receptions for 16 yards through the air. The change at quarterback did not hurt Gaskin’s value, so fantasy

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa made his first career NFL start against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8. It was quite surprising that Miami made a change under center after the veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick was playing well with the team. Regardless, Tagovailoa was able to lead his team to victory. Although, they didn’t really win the game because of Tagovailoa. He completed 12 of

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon came into this game without a catch in each of his last two games. He finally hauled in a reception during the Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Herndon saw two targets, but hauled in one for three yards in the loss. The sad part is he fumbled that reception and lost it. Fantasy owners who

New York Jets wide receiver Jeff Smith was basically a non-factor in the Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. This offense was without Jamison Crowder (groin) and Breshad Perriman (head), so Smith saw plenty of targets. Sadly, he was only able to haul in three of his eight targets for 29 yards in the loss. Smith continues to fail when the ball is

New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios saw a season-high 11 targets during the Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Jets receivers are banged up, so Berrios was asked to step up here. He hauled in eight of his 11 targets for 34 yards in the loss. The yardage was nothing special, but he held decent PPR value here. Fantasy owners shouldn’t

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham caught only two passes for 13 yards in the Bears overtime loss to the Saints in Week 8. The veteran pass-catcher was targeted seven times in the game but failed to get on the same page with quarterback Nick Foles. Graham has been a fairly intriguing touchdown-dependent option in fantasy but the former Pro Bowler showed his age at

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims was expected to have a fairly significant role in the passing attack with the offense banged up. Sadly, quarterback Sam Darnold was unable to get much going on offense. Mims saw three targets, but hauled in two of them for 42 yards in the Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Somehow, those 42 yards actually lead

Chicago Bears wide receiver Javon Wims was ejected in the third quarter of the Bears 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints in Week 8. Wims caught one pass for nine yards and a first down in the first half but lost his cool in the third quarter. Replays appeared to show, without provocation, Wims walking right up to a Saints defender and swinging at him

New York Jets running back La’Mical Perine continues to split up the carries with veteran Frank Gore in the backfield. Honestly, it’s unclear why head coach Adam Gase continues to use Gore as the lead back on a winless football team. Perine rushed eight times for 27 yards and caught two receptions for six yards in the Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney caught five passes for 69 yards and one touchdown in the team’s 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints in Week 8. The rookie flashed his speed on a beautiful 50-yard reception and added a touchdown in the red zone as the Bears erased a 10-point deficit to force overtime. At this point, Mooney is a fixture in the Bears

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller caught eight passes for 73 yards in the Bears overtime loss to the Saints 26-23 in Week 8. Miller saw a team-high 11 targets in the game and enjoyed his most active top-to-bottom performance of the season. The Bears have made a concerted effort to get Miller involved early in games but the third-year receiver would quickly disappear from

New York Jets running back Frank Gore for some reason continues to be the lead back for this offense. The veteran back has been unable to do much damage with this horrendous offensive line. He rushed 10 times for 30 yards in the Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Fantasy owners holding onto Gore in the hope that he eventually has value should

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II caught six passes for 87 yards with one touchdown in the Bears 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints in Week 8. Robinson was quiet early but entered the action with a bang, snagging a beautiful 24-yard pass for a touchdown in the first half. Robinson received seven targets in the game but disappeared for long stretches. The veteran

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery carried the ball 21 times for 89 yards and added 16 receiving yards in the Bears overtime loss to the Saints in Week 8. The numbers may not bear it out but this was one of Montgomery’s better efforts. The second-year back was able to continue to break tackles for extra yards but also added a 38-yard scamper for

Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles completed 28-of-41 passes for 272 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the Bears crushing 26-23 loss to the Saints in Week 8. The Bears offense got off to a modestly efficient start in the first half, posting 13 points and hitting on some big plays. Foles worked the play-action game to hit rookie receiver Darnell Mooney for 50 yards

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has not thrown a touchdown pass since Week 3 against the Indianapolis Colts. To be fair, his weapons on offense are awful, but Darnold does not look good out there. He completed 18 of 30 passing attempts for 113 yards with zero touchdowns and zero interceptions in the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. He also

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk has surprisingly been a decent fantasy option over the last few weeks. In Week 8, Folk connected on both his field goal attempts in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. Folk accounted for seven of the 21 points that the Pats scored in this game. He should remain a solid fantasy option against the New York Jets in Week
