Fantasy football 2018, Week 8 rankings: Who to start and sit
By Jon Dove
Start: Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts
@ Oakland Raiders
The Oakland Raiders are a team in turmoil which has leaked onto the field of play. They are one of the league’s worst teams which includes issues on both sides of the ball. Oakland’s struggles have resulted in some strong fantasy performances for their opponents.
Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts broke out last week for 37 points against the Buffalo Bills. This week is another opportunity for the Colts to pad their offensive numbers.
Indianapolis’ offense, and in turn Luck, have seen a boost from the running game. Marlon Mack has added another element to the offense. This has given Luck more opportunities down the field and the ability utilize play action.
Sit: Carson Wentz, Philadelphia Eagles
@ Jacksonville Jaguars
Carson Wentz has been solid since returning to the lineup. However, this week he takes on a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that is looking to reestablish themselves as a dominant unit. There’s just too much talent on this defense for them to continue to struggle for much longer.
Philadelphia is becoming a bit of a one dimensional team thanks to their ineffective running game. Jacksonville’s pass rush and talented secondary makes this a very tough matchup for Wentz.
