2. Jalen Hurts at Detroit

The Detroit Lions are arguably the worst team in football, as they have yet to find their first win of the season through the first seven weeks. This weekend, they will be taking on a Philadelphia Eagles team that is nothing to write home about either, but they do have a dynamic young quarterback in Jalen Hurts.

Hurts is coming off a tough loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, but there is a lot to like about him in this matchup. The Lions are desperate for a win and are playing at home, but they also do not have anyone to stop what could be a monster day from the second-year pro.

1. Matt Ryan vs Carolina

The Carolina Panthers were downright embarrassed by the New York Giants this past weekend, as their offense could get nothing going, and eventually benched Sam Darnold. This weekend, they take on a division rival in the Atlanta Falcons and a quarterback in Matt Ryan who is playing excellent football right now.

For most, Matt Ryan is probably a must-start in fantasy at this point, but he is no longer considered one of the upper-echelon fantasy football quarterbacks. He will be just that in Week 8, as he shreds up his division rival for 300-plus yards and a handful of touchdown passes.
