Start:

Teddy Bridgewater, CAR, vs. ATL (Thu.)

Teddy Bridgewater has been balling all season long as the starter for the Carolina Panthers. He almost pulled off a win over his former team on Sunday vs. the New Orleans Saints and played another great game. With a salivating matchup on Thursday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons, Bridgewater should be airing it out early and often for the Panthers and should get a whole lot of points.

Joe Burrow, CIN, vs. TEN

Joe Burrow is the real deal and his receivers are helping him show that. His chemistry with Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins has been great this year, but even A.J. Green is starting to get into the action. A matchup with the Tennessee Titans should lead to a lot of fantasy points and could be a low key shootout.

Sit:

Cam Newton, NE, @ BUF

Cam Newton was on the brink of returning to fantasy football stardom earlier this season. And then something happened where his arm wasn’t delivering nearly as much as it had earlier in the season and the New England Patriots stopped using his legs. For right now, you have to bench him until there is a clearer image as to how the Patriots will use him again moving forward.

Tua Tagovalioa, MIA, vs. LAR

The need, or want perse, is going to be there for people when it comes to Tua Tagovailoa. Of course, other rookie quarterbacks have been out of this world fantasy-wise this year so it makes sense. But calm yourself Week 8, as Tagovailoa’s first start comes against Aaron Donald and the Los Angeles Rams. There are better options out there, but keep tabs on Tagovailoa moving forward.
