Fantasy Football Week 8 QB Studs or Duds
Fantasy Football Week 8 Studs or Duds: On any given Sunday you can find QBs that will perform well and others that will not. Here is a list of 3 quarterback studs and duds that might help or hurt your roster for fantasy football week 8.
QB – Quarterbacks Studs:
Matt Cassel – After his 3 TD performance last week and more confident play in the game, Cassel has earned himself a starting spot in any 12 team league. Playing the soft defense of St. Louis also helps his cause this week so I would give him the start.
Jason Campbell – Has been very consistent this and hasn’t thrown a pick so far this season. The TD’s aren’t quite there yet, but the match-up this week should help his cause. The Lions are second to last in passing yards per game so his numbers should be really good this week.
JT O’Sullivan – Yes, I said it. He has been playing pretty good and playing a team that gives up almost 250 passing yards per game and has only one pick on the year. He should put up starter type numbers this week and would be a good play.
QB – Quarterbacks Duds:
Matt Shaub – I know this looks like a good play this week, but the best part of Cincy’s game is the secondary. They are ranked around 5th lowest in yards per game and they have 10 picks already this year. He may have decent numbers but the downside is too great to play this week.
Eli Manning – This would be tough sit, but playing the Steelers this week on the road is not a friendly place to be. The Steelers D surges at home and being the #1 team against the pass this year makes it a tough day to be the QB for the big blue machine. He will have trouble finding the end zone and won’t rack up a lot of yards.
Matt Ryan – Matt’s been playing great this year and normally I would give him the benefit of the doubt, but rolling into Philly is not a good place to be for this first year QB. The fans are tough, the field is tough, and the Philly D is tough so I would hold off on using him this week on the road. Not to mention that the Philly D is ranked in the top 10 in pass and Ryan’s QB rating on the road is only 59.2, which is half of his home rating of 121.9.

You totally forgot to mention Tampa Bay’s QB, Jeff Garcia, who will do great Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboy’s middle-of-the-road pass defense. Jeff Garcia was Week 7’s passing leader. Also, Jeff Garcia gets Joey Galloway, whose been out with a foot injury, back this week, and although Galloway been moved to the W2 spot, he’ll take some of the heat off Antonio Bryant who I believe is one of the NFL’s rising stars. Week 7, Antionio Bryant garnered 6 receptions, 115 yards and a TD. Mark my words, the Garcia/Bryant duo will make some waves this season. Antonio Bryant and Jeff Garcia still might be available in most leagues; they’re great pick-ups if your fantasy team is weak in the QB or WR spots.

He is an okay play, but there were some questions so I didn’t want to make it a stud or a dud. The reason for no stud is because he is on the road, and has thrown 0 picks at home, and 2 on the road thus far. But given his weapons and consistent play I didn’t want to make him a dud either, thus the reason I didn’t want to mention Garcia. I wouldn’t play him this week as most of his average numbers are down on the road including completion %, yards per game, and QB rating, as well as those picks.

I think Chad Pennington is going to have a good week as well.

The Bills have a tough D, but ol’ Chad has been throwing well and he does make good decisions.

Culpepper may be back in the NFL, and I for one wouldn’t mind seeing how he would do on the Chiefs. I’d be ready to add him to my fantasy lineup if he got the starting job.
