Fantasy Football 2017: 10 Deep sleepers for Week 8

4. Tyler Kroft, TE, Cincinnati Bengals (36.1 percent owned)

Kroft has three total touchdowns over his last three games and has 4+ receptions in each of those three games. In a season where the tight end position has been a complete crapshoot and in a week where six teams are on a bye, Kroft is a TE1 who could easily finish in the top-five.

3. Dion Lewis, RB, New England Patriots (47.4 percent owned)

Lewis has now seen 11+ carries in each of the last two games and has 52+ total yards over his last three games. In my opinion, he’s the second-best Patriot fantasy football running back behind teammate James White. Yes, that means I would gladly take Lewis over Mike Gillislee who hasn’t done much since Week 2.

2.  DeAndre Washington, RB, Oakland Raiders (34.8 percent owned)

As mentioned earlier, Washington and Richard will share the load in the Raiders backfield this weekend. I prefer Washington over Richard because he’s the better pass-catcher and see how most leagues have transitioned to PPR, he gives owners a safer floor.

1. Andy Dalton, QB, Cincinnati Bengals (49.5 percent owned)

Dalton will be a top-ten fantasy football quarterback this week. Book it. The Bengals offense has been better since they fired Ken Zampese and Dalton has multiple touchdown passes in three out of his last four games. I honestly will be stunned if he finishes with fewer than 250 passing yards and 2 touchdowns against a pathetic Colts defense.
