With five games having projected totals of 48 points or more, according to Odds Shark, we could be in for a high-flying, offensively driven Week 8 slate on Sunday, which bodes well for our fantasy football teams.
Offense is always a good thing—it results in fantasy points for our teams as we have reached the halfway point of the season.
If you haven’t heard, there are a ton of teams on bye this week. To be exact, there are six—the Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers.
Because of this you likely have more players on bye than you can handle, thus you’ve scurried to the waiver wire this week for fill-in options.
If you play DFS, there are just 10 games on the main slate, which can ironically make things more difficult, though there are fewer players to choose from.
This is bye-pocalypse’s world this week, and we’re just living in it.
Let’s start by jumping across the pond and go over a game I might actually wake up to watch—the Cincinnati Bengals and the Washington Redskins.
