We reached the middle of the campaign in our leagues of Fantasy Football this NFL Season 2021, and that’s why we show you the players you should leave on the bench for week 8, the famous Sit’Em that cannot be missed in our weekly planning de rosters.
Remember that it is not about them being bad players, but about the matchups or situations that they are going to face every week. These are the fine points that separate the winners in Fantasy Football leagues from the rest. So don’t be afraid to pull the trigger and bank these names, at least this week.
NOTE: Below the player you will find my specific point projections for this week. These projections are from the system (Non-PPR) and are conservative predictions.
Quarterbacks
Jameis Winston vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Projection: 14.5 points
Jameis Winston He played a decent game against the Seahawks, but this week against one of the best defenses in pass rush it will be difficult for him to have the time to drop his bombs that make him a profitable QB in a few weeks.
Sam Darnold @ Atlanta Falcons
Projection: 13.1 points
I had mentioned throughout my shows that the Sam Darnold It was a cruel lie and to think that he was at the level he started the campaign at was completely delusional. He is the second-highest quarterback with the highest percentage of plays that could end in turnover, just behind Justin Fields.
Running Backs
Antonio Gibson @ Denver Broncos
Projection: 8 points
Last week he had the lowest volume of his entire season and he can’t be trusted with just 43% of snaps and just 61% of carries. For me Antonio Gibson It is nothing more than a low RB2, out of the Top 20 due to its zero air involvement and little ground involvement.
Devin Singletary vs Miami Dolphins
Projection: 4.2 points
This backfield is arguably the most volatile in the entire NFL, with one week Sack Moss owning all snaps and the next week being removed by Singletary on all third downs and fast offenses. Let’s not expect something from Devin SingletaryWe don’t even know if he will have a role in this game.
Wide Receivers
Corey Davis vs Cincinnati Bengals
Projection: 6.6 points
This player ran only 68% of the routes last game, being the game in which he has run the fewest routes throughout the season. For a WR to be relevant in Fantasy Football it must be above 75% and Corey Davis he wasn’t there last week. Without Zach Wilson and his ability to make big plays, it will be difficult for him to establish himself.
Darnell Mooney vs San Francisco 49ers
Projection: 6.2 points
This offense is completely inoperative through the air and, despite facing the 49ers secondary defense, Darnell Mooney it does not have the volume that we all want for its breakout. I do not recommend having expectations in this offense that does not work.
Tight Ends
Mo Alie-Cox vs Tennessee Titans
Projection: 3.8 points
This is my favorite player in the whole NFL and it is a very big pain for me to put him in this column, but it is not the fault of the great Mo, but that the Colts rotate to three TEs, so it is completely dependent on the TDs. Jack Doyle ran 57% of the routes and Mo Alie-Cox only 34%.
Jared Cook vs New England Patriots
Projection. 3.5 points
There are high expectations with this player, but he is in a similar situation to Mo Alie-Cox, where he shares many of the routes, so it depends purely on how many TDs he may have in this offense. Don’t start Jared Cook in this deceptive match.
