Fantasy Football 2020 Week 8 Rankings: Who to start and sit

Start:

Jared Cook, NO, @ CHI

Jared Cook proved to be useful for fantasy owners this past weekend as he was the first targeted player in the redzone for the Saints and came down with a touchdown. With Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders expected to be out again, Cook should see various looks in a battle with the Chicago Bears.

Harrison Bryant, CLE, vs. LV

Austin Hooper’s illness resulted in a start for the rookie Harrison Bryant and he showed up big time. Bryant registered two touchdowns in his first career start and with Hooper expected to be out once again, that vaults Bryant into TE1 territory in a game vs. the Raiders.

Sit:

Eric Ebron, PIT, @ BAL

Eric Ebron was fed a lot of looks on Sunday which is an excellent sign. Too bad a matchup with the Baltimore Ravens should see him not have nearly the same success. Sit him, there are better options.

T.J. Hockenson, DET, vs. IND

T.J. Hockenson is one week removed from being on the start list for tight ends and in doing so, he delivered. It’s good and bad, as Hockenson has earned the right to be a weekly starter but Week 8 has other plans for the Iowa product.

The Indianapolis Colts have been hard on almost everyone this season and I expect that to be the same with Hockenson. You may need to start him, but there are other streaming options worth the look this week over him.
