Fantasy Football picks: Five bounce back players for Week 8

Fantasy Football picks: Five bounce back players for Week 8

Kenny Golladay – Let me start of this section by saying that I do not care if you are a Lions fan or not, you have to feel bad for Matt Stafford. He just broke the record for fastest quarterback in the history of the NFL to reach 40,000 passing yards, and he will never sniff a super-bowl unless he leaves Detroit. Year in, and year out this team lets him down, but yet he always stays. Now back to Kenny Golladay, who got overshadowed last week by the game of a lifetime put up by Marvin Jones where he scored four touchdowns, and Kenny caught one pass for 21 yards.

Of course a game with the Giants is a spot that Kenny should be really excited about. They give up the third most points to opposing receivers, with a 24% DVOA against the pass, which is good for 28th in the league. They did get away with minimal damage, in the passing department last week, but Golladay has a skill-set that Janoris Jenkins is going to struggle with. A very tall lanky receiver, with good hands, and solid route running skills means bad news for the so called top corner in New York. Golladay was averaging nine targets per game before last weeks stinker, scoring four times, on well over 300 yards. He is still the top dog in Detroit, and should go back to his usual nine targets in this game.
