10 WR sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 8

1. Brandon Aiyuk (SF)

Game: San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks (Sunday, 11/1, 4:25 pm EST) 

San Francisco will now combat the injuries of Jeff Wilson and Deebo Samuel while already dealing with the absence of tailback Raheem Mostert. Instantly, that leaves Aiyuk as the best wide receiver on the 49ers healthy depth chart.

Seattle surrenders a ghoulish 36.3 PPR points per game to wide receivers. That is historically bad. Unless the Seahawks strangely quit this dirty little habit, Aiyuk should shred Pete Carroll’s secondary en route to a monster day.

Aiyuk has registered 12.2 fantasy points per game, which is more than players like Jarvis Landry, Russell Gage, Curtis Samuel, and his teammate, Samuel. He will act as a tremendous sleeper vs. a wretched Seattle defense this week.

2. Jamison Crowder (NYJ)

Game: New York Jets at Kansas City Chiefs (Sunday, 11/1, 1:00 pm EST) 

For a series of weeks, Crowder was too good to be considered a sleeper. He has since endured a few quieter weeks. Conveniently for us, we can reasonably designate the man as a sleeper once again.

Crowder makes the list for one reason: The Chiefs will hop out to a thunderous lead, and Sam Darnold will chew up the clock in garbage time. That’s a bittersweet forecast for Crowder as he will pad his stats while his team is being throttled.

Rake in the garbage time points from Crowder in Week 8.
