DeShone Kizer avoids turnovers but the Browns drop to 0-8.

Against a tough defense like Minnesota’s, it was good to see the rookie avoid turnovers, but the Browns couldn’t get much going offensively. Kizer was 18/34 for 179 yards, along with five carries for 18 yards and a touchdown on a quarterback sneak. Kizer is off the fantasy radar at the moment.

Chris Thompson totals 94 yards on 12 touches in Week 8 loss.

Thompson rushed four times for 18 yards and caught eight passes for 76 yards. The former fifth-round pick has been Washington’s best offensive player so far this season, as he has five touchdowns through seven games and is averaging 14.3 yards per reception as a running game. Even in Seattle next Sunday, Thompson is worth a look, particularly in PPR leagues.

Bruce Ellington catches one pass in Week 8.

Ellington was targeted four times, catching the one pass for 13 yards. He’s a good contributor for the Texans on offense, but he doesn’t get enough looks to be considered a good fantasy option right now.

Corey Clement makes great touchdown catch in Week 7.

Clement carried once for six yards, and he caught his only target of the game on a spectacular reception in the end zone on a flat route that he wheeled up and got his feet in bounds for a nine-yarder. It’s awesome to see the undrafted rookie from Wisconsin—who frankly should have been drafted—to make a big impact in his first season in the NFL. He’ll make some plays for the Eagles this season, but Clement is not a recommended fantasy option yet.

Zach Ertz catches all five targets against the Redskins.

Ertz continued his stellar play against Washington (and his stellar play all 2017), gaining 89 yards with a touchdown on his five receptions in the game. The athletic tight end has at least 80 yards or a touchdown in each of his first seven games, and he’s become the best fantasy tight end option behind Rob Gronkowski. Expect another solid-to-great game in Week 8 against the 49ers.

J.D. McKissic gets five touches in Week 8.

McKissic carried four times for six yards and caught one of two targets for six yards. The Seahawks aren’t involving their running backs too much right now, so McKissic isn’t a recommended FLEX option, even in PPR leagues.

Will Fuller V scores two more touchdowns in Texans’ loss.

The second-year receiver caught five passes for 125 yards and two touchdown against the Seahawks, as he started things off with a bang on his 59-yard deep touchdown to start the game, then he added another touchdown on a nice back-shoulder type of catch in the end zone. Fuller has been simply unbelievable since returning from his collarbone injury, as he has seven touchdowns in four games on just 13 catches while looking like a big-time playmaker for his team. Maybe you have a lot of great options for your fantasy lineup and can’t play him, but you might as well ride Fuller next week against the Colts if possible.
