Injuries are helping teams stay in contention for the fantasy playoffs while simultaneously knocking others out. We're loaded for the week 8 pickups, here we go!
QUARTERBACKS
- Joe Burrow (QB, CIN) - I'm about to start this guy in the right matchups regardless of what Matt Ryan is doing.
- Teddy Bridgewater (QB, CAR) - Mr. Consistency (and two gloves) is just what the doctor ordered. Great pickup versus Atlanta in week 8.
- Derek Carr (QB, LV) - With last season's back injuries all cleared up he has been consistently putting up honorable fantasy points.
