Week 8 Start/Sit: Wide Receivers
Wide receiver decisions can swing your fantasy football matchup in Week 8. Here’s who to start and sit at WR based on targets, matchups, and trends.

STARTS
Tee Higgins is thriving with Joe Flacco, racking up 11 catches for 158 yards and a touchdown over two games. With the Jets possibly missing Sauce Gardner, Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase could feast. He’s a confident WR2 start in Week 8.
Wan’Dale Robinson has clicked with Jaxson Dart, commanding a 26% target share and averaging 90 yards and 18 fantasy points over two weeks. A potential shootout makes him a strong WR3 with upside.
SITS
DJ Moore is mired in a five-game slump under 50 yards, with one touchdown all season. Even with Baltimore’s favorable matchup, Rome Odunze is the Bears’ WR to trust. Moore’s a WR3 at best.
Marquise Brown has faded in Kansas City, with Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy taking targets. Limited snaps and Travis Kelce’s presence make him a bench candidate.
