Fantasy Football 2017: Thursday Night Football Start Em, Sit Em Week 8

This game isn’t as compelling as the last few Thursday Night Football games have been, especially when it comes to fantasy football lineups. There just aren’t any stars playing in this game.

Stay away from starting either quarterback in this game. Joe Flacco has really gone downhill since the 2015 season and Matt Moore is a career backup quarterback. Neither should be playing on your fantasy team unless you’re absolutely desperate.

At running back, Jay Ajayi has a prime match-up against a weak Ravens run defense, which is literally the worst in the entire league. Baltimore running backs, however, should not be trusted this week.

Wide receiver wise, Jarvis Landry is a great option, but Kenny Stills is another name to consider playing. If Jeremy Maclin were healthy, he’d be a nice asset at one of your wide receiver spots, but the injuries have plagued him the last year or so.

The other good options are starting the Ravens defense and their kicker Justin Tucker. I mentioned earlier how I wasn’t going to waste a Start ‘Em spot on Tucker because it should be common sense to play him every week. He’s without question the best kicker in the NFL.

Be sure to check your lineups before Thursday night and best of luck!
