Giants’ Jones looks comfortable at last
These players saw their fantasy values increase or decrease most based on their performances in Week 8:
Sizzlers
QB Daniel Jones, New York Giants: With critics wondering if he should remain the starter, Jones provided a clear answer with a 322-yard passing performance with four touchdowns and no interceptions.
RB Aaron Jones, Green Bay Packers: Green Bay has found a running game by effectively using both Jones and Jamaal Williams. Jones had 226 total yards and two touchdowns and had another long score called back due to a penalty.
RB Tevin Coleman, San Francisco 49ers: The Niners’ offense was unstoppable as Coleman had four total TDs in a rout of the Carolina Panthers. With Arizona up next on Oct. 31, Coleman should be glued into lineups everywhere.
WR Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Evans can catch anything thrown in his vicinity, as evidenced by him hauling in 11 of 12 targets for 198 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
WR Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams: Kupp has been a master at finding seams in the defense, torching the Cincinnati Bengals for 220 yards and a TD. His success is overshadowing the other Rams’ receivers.
Fizzlers
RB Le’Veon Bell, New York Jets: Bell has struggled to succeed in a slumping offense. If he can’t produce against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9, it might never happen this season.
WR Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals: Even in a blowout loss, Fitzgerald an afterthought with two receptions on four targets for 8 yards. Unfortunately, the Cardinals’ schedule doesn’t get any easier.
WR Corey Davis, Tennesee Titans: The chemistry he had with new quarterback Ryan Tannehill in Week 7 was apparently a mirage. Davis caught two passes for 9 yards against the 31st-ranked Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ pass defense.
TE Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles: Catching just two passes for 20 yards, Ertz once again took a back seat in the offense. It’s mind-boggling to see Dallas Goedert more involved in the game plan.
RB Ty Johnson, Detroit Lions: Last week’s waiver wire darling turned into a pumpkin. In a committee of four running backs, Johnson led the group with a mere 3.6 yards per carry.
