8. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 8: Kalif Raymond, Detroit Lions

Rostered: 0.4%

Last Sunday, Raymond led the Lions in receptions (5), receiving yards (75), and targets (6). After suffering a concussion, Amon-Ra St. Brown was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. DJ Chark and Jameson Williams remain out, while Josh Reynolds is listed as questionable with a knee injury.

Raymond is not guaranteed to serve as the lead wideout again this Sunday, but due to the influx of injuries, he is worth a flier.

7. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 8: Donovan Peoples-Jones, Cleveland Browns

Rostered: 12.4%

Peoples-Jones has been surprisingly consistent. He has recorded 4+ receptions and 50+ receiving yards in four consecutive games.

His upside has been limited by his lack of red zone production, though. This season, he has not scored a touchdown, and he has zero receptions inside the 10.

Other wide receivers on this list have higher ceilings, but Peoples-Jones projects to be a safe, high-floor option. He is a solid FLEX play.
