Fantasy Football picks: Five bounce back players for Week 8

Cooper Kupp – I feel like we have to go right back to this play after Kupp burned us last week in what seemed like the spot of a lifetime against Atlanta. Cincinnati ranks 30th with a 36.4% DVOA against the pass. Kupp has now put up two straight game of less than ten fantasy points, yet his price tag is going up on FanDuel. Why is that you ask? I have literally no idea, but what I do know is that will drive down ownership on him.

Kupp still leads this team in targets, yards, and touchdowns, which is something people are very quick to forget about after one or two games. That is where we find an edge like this, and exploit it. He runs routes out of the slot, and on the outside, getting plenty of targets inside the red-zone as well. Gerald Everett has been a red-zone leach, but that is something I am not overly concerned about. He will still get plenty of targets throughout this entire game, which is exactly what we need for a player to bounce back. Goff is not going to stop feeding him the ball now just because of two bad games. One thing we will have to worry about is a risk of a blowout. The Bengals are not a good team at all, and Andy Dalton looks like he is one more throw away from retirement. While I can not guarantee that this game stays close, I can say that this is the game the Kupp bounces back in.
