Fantasy football 2019 week 8 waiver wire pickups
By Bill Pivetz
Zach Pascal, IND
Pascal had the best game of his career last week. He caught six passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns. While defenses were focusing on T.Y. Hilton, Jacoby Brissett was able to find open space and make the most of it.
With Hilton and the tight end combination of Jack Doyle and Eric Ebron, it will be hard for Pascal to find consistent work but with the running game not putting up big numbers, the Colts should rely on the pass more.
Pascal and the Colts face the Broncos in week 8.
John Brown, BUF
Brown has been quietly having a good season. He has 92.7 PPR points, good for 20th among all receivers. In his most recent game against Miami, Brown caught five of six targets for 83 yards and a touchdown.
Josh Allen has been taking care of the ball a bit more, giving the offense more opportunity to score. Brown and the Bills face the weak Eagles secondary this week. He needs to be owned in more leagues.
Kenny Stills, HOU
Stills hasn’t been mentioned a lot in fantasy circles but with Will Fuller going down with an injury again, he stepped up as a potential WR2 for the Texans. Stills caught four passes for 105 yards.
Stills and the Texans take on the Raiders at home in week 8. Their defense allows just under 34 fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers. DeAndre Hopkins can’t do it all and Keke Coutee is better as the slot receiver.
