Week 8 Fantasy Football Streaming Options

Cousins, MIN (37.4 percent owned)

In Week 8, Kirk Cousins and the Vikings welcome the Redskins to town. Not only has Cousins turned it up over the past two weeks, scoring an average of 23.9 fantasy points against two bad defenses. The good news is, Washington is another bad defense for him to take advantage of, giving up 20.8 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. You could do worse than Cousins.

Tannehill, TEN (1.9 percent owned)

We honestly don’t know what to expect from Ryan Tannehill as he takes over for Marcus Mariota in Tennessee. However, what we do know is that the Titans do have solid weapons around their quarterback and will face the Buccaneers in Week 8, a team conceding 21.4 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. You have to like the upside with a widely available player.

Minshew, JAX (50.7 percent owned)

Gardner Minshew came back to Earth against the Saints in Week 6 with 4.6 fantasy points but is still the 11th ranked quarterback in fantasy football this season. While the Jets, Minshew’s matchup next week, haven’t been overly generous to opposing quarterbacks this season, their secondary remains problematic and the Jaguars offense could take advantage of it in Week 8.

Rudolph, PIT (6.4 percent owned)

We should see Mason Rudolph return from his concussion after the bye in Week 7. That takes him up against the Miami Dolphins, who have been the most generous defense in terms of opposing quarterback production in fantasy. While Rudolph isn’t the safest bet, going up against the Dolphins defense is.
