Fantasy football picks: Week 8 MNF Steelers vs. Dolphins

JuJu Smith-Schuster – Poor JuJu has saw a big dip in his production with a backup quarterback running the show. He is an immense talent, but he is just not seeing enough of the target share to return any sort of elite fantasy value. In the past three weeks, he has a total of 14 targets, on 97 yards, and one score. What better game to make it all right then with the Dolphins, who give up the 12th most points against receivers. He will likely see coverage from Xavier Howard who is the to corner on the team, but he is not unbeatable by any stretch of the imagination. This is another very popular play, but it is how you use him that can make your lineup different, than some of the others, which is something we will talk about in the game theory section of this article.

DeVante Parker – Our first Dolphin is Parker, who is doomed to another loosing season with this team. Year in, and year out, he is hyped up during training camp and preseason as the next big thing, and is having the best camp of his career. Then each year he comes out and completely bombs, and we all forget about it in just a few short months. At least this season, he actually does look better, except it does not make any sort of difference considering he has been getting passes from just about every quarterback that Miami has on the roster. He should continue to lead the team in targets, and if he gets lucky he might just score a touchdown in this game where Miami will more than likely be playing from behind, once again.
