Green Bay’s offense is deep with playmakers, which is good for the team in real life, yet the ball gets spread around a lot among several playmakers. That situation creates some additional fantasy unpredictability. However, this is a week to pinpoint Reed as a quality fantasy starter.

Jacksonville’s 31^st-ranked pass defense also ranks 28^th in FFPG allowed to WRs. Reed leads the Packers in receptions (29) and receiving yardage (452). Start him with confidence in Week 8.

Baltimore is known for its outstanding running game, yet the Ravens also rank sixth in the NFL in passing offense this season. Cleveland ranks 27^th in FFPG allowed to WRs. The Ravens featured Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman as pass-catchers last week, and Flowers may get a turn to shine against the Browns as Lamar Jackson makes sure to keep him involved.

Washington has allowed an NFC-high 10 TD receptions to WRs. Allen caught two TD passes in Week 6 and then had a bye week to get rest while the rising Chicago offense likely began to plan in advance for Week 8. Allen appears to be past a heel injury from earlier in the season and can be started at a WR3/flex spot.

Denver’s most established WR still commanded defensive attention in a win over New Orleans last week, even though he did not catch a pass. I expect that Bo Nix and the Broncos’ coaching staff will make it a point to get Sutton the ball early and often against Carolina’s 25^th-ranked pass defense.

1. Jauan Jennings: San Francisco’s WR group needs Jennings to step forward again because of the team’s problematic injury situation at WR. Check the status of his hip injury, but Jennings should still be a top fantasy football waiver wire pickup for Week 8.
2. Romeo Doubs: In Week 6, Doubs caught two TD passes, and in Week 7, he finished with eight receptions for 94 yards. The Green Bay WR can be added and immediately put into fantasy lineups.
3. Rashod Bateman: The current version of the Baltimore offense looks like the best of the Lamar Jackson era. Bateman posted a career-high 121 receiving yards on Monday Night and he is operating as a frequent TD threat.
4. Ricky Pearsall: The 49ers rookie might get his first opportunity to make an impact in a Week 8 Sunday night matchup with the Cowboys.
5. Jalen McMillan: Tampa Bay is also being hit hard by WR injuries and might need this first-year WR to take on a larger role.
6. Ladd McConkey: Bet on the potential of the Chargers rookie to provide increased fantasy production during the upcoming weeks.
7. Cedric Tillman: The Cleveland WR caught eight passes on 12 targets for 81 yards in Week 7 and may be Cleveland’s No. 1 WR in terms of fantasy production going forward.
8. Keon Coleman: Another promising Buffalo rookie, Coleman totaled a career-high 125 receiving yards in Week 7. He can benefit from the Bills’ acquisition of Amari Cooper.
9. Jerry Jeudy: Along with Tillman, Jeudy should continue to be rostered for potential increased production after the Browns traded Cooper to Buffalo.
10. Jalen Tolbert: In a busy Dallas passing game, Tolbert has some promise as a fantasy streamer.
11. Tyler Lockett: A longtime model of reliability and durability, Lockett was targeted eight-plus times in three of the past five games.
12. Demario Douglas: Drake Maye is already settling in as New England’s starting QB. Douglas will often function as his top target.
13. Troy Franklin: As Nix continues to progress as a pro, his former Oregon teammate may emerge as a respectable statistical producer. Franklin finished with five receptions for 50 yards in Week 7.
14. Dontayvion Wicks: TDs are his specialty, as Wicks is up to four so far this season.
15. Tutu Atwell: He can remain a respectable option for fantasy purposes until the Rams’ WR corps has all its personnel back and healthy again.
16. Mason Tipton: New Orleans is dealing with significant injury issues at WR. Tipton was targeted nine times in Week 7.
