Fantasy Football 2019: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 8
START ‘EM – TE
Jimmy Graham. 1. player. 49. . Tight End. Green Bay Packers
Just about anyone on the Packers offense is a good play this weekend, as Green Bay faces the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Kansas City’s defense played better last week, but that was the Broncos. The Packers are a far superior team, especially on offense.
Jimmy Graham is a wishy washy fantasy player, but his chances of putting up points this week is quite high given the opposition. Michael Fabiano of NFL.com notes that the Chiefs have allowed an average of 13.7 points to opposing tight ends this year.
Roll with Graham in week eight.
SIT ‘EM – TE
Tight End. Philadelphia Eagles. Dallas Goedert. 2. player. 54.
While Dallas Goedert isn’t usually a TE1 option anyway, his chances of putting up points aren’t high against the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo has a really good defense and has been especially tough on tight ends, surrendering an average of 1.7 catches to this point.
Considering Goedert already has to compete for targets with Zach Ertz, it’s not promising for him to have a breakout performance in Buffalo. Keep Dallas Goedert on your bench this week.
