Fantasy football week 8 recap: Studs, duds, and sleepers

RB Sleepers

Charcandrick West-Kansas City Chiefs: West had another big game for the Chiefs as they crushed the Lions in London.  West had 97 yards on his 20 carries and scored his second rushing TD in the last two weeks. He’s not Jamaal Charles, but he’s getting plenty of work in KC’s offense and is a solid RB2 after the Chiefs’ bye next week.

Shane Vereen-New York Giants: Vereen had only two carries for three yards, but he still was a good play for his owners based on his work as a wide receiver.  Vereen hauled in eight passes for 60 yards and a touchdown int he Giants-Saints shootout in the Big Easy.

DeAngelo Williams-Pittsburgh Steelers: While we don’t know just how serious Le’Veon Bell’s knee injury is, Williams is sure to be the top name on the waiver wire claims list for most owners this week.  Williams filled in very well for Bell while Bell was suspended earlier this season and did so again yesterday running for 71 yards on his nine carries and adding 39 yards on his four catches.

Darren McFadden-Dallas Cowboys: McFadden didn’t have a huge game like last week, but given that he was going against the Seahawks he did enough to keep a firm hold on the starting job in the Dallas backfield.  Mcfadden ran 20 times for 64 yards and added 49 yards on six catches in Dallas’s 13-12 loss to Seattle.
