5 best fantasy football matchups to exploit for Week 8

1. Mike Evans & Chris Godwin, WRs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs. BAL)

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are at a pretty severe low point in the season after getting crushed by the tanking Carolina Panthers 21-3. Even though Mike Evans dropped a long, wide-open touchdown, he and Chris Godwin both gave valiant efforts to help keep the Bucs in the game, going 9-96 and 7-43 respectively. The Bucs throw enough to maintain pretty steady volume for both of their receivers.

This Thursday, Brady and his two elite wideouts get a vanilla matchup against Baltimore’s 26th-ranked secondary, who have notoriously allowed plenty of fantasy points to opposing receivers this year (sixth-most in the league). If the Bucs want to save their season rather than watch what could be Brady’s final year go down the drain, this game against an easy secondary is a good chance to do that. Both Evans and Godwin are high-end WR2s this week.
