Week 8 Start/Sit: Who Has Been Released From Fantasy Jail?

In fantasy sports, timing is as important as opportunity. We are now at the midway point in the season, and certain players who were expected to be star performers have simply been falling stars that we keep wishing on, week after week. This week, before we get to out start/sit section, I want to look at a few players that you want to target as nice buy low prospects, before they have a blow-out game, and a couple of guys you want to avoid, thinking they will finally turn the corner.

Greg Jennings, WR, GBP - There may be no more potentially fantasy explosive player out there with as much potential for stealing in a trade. This week I packaged Mike Bell and Roy Williams for Greg Jennings and Kenny Britt, in a keeper league. However, you need not be in a keeper league to reap the benefits of Jennings the remainder of the year. I expect a big game from him as early as this week. There is simply too much talent there, and earlier in the season he had a hand injury that was impacting his performance. His time is coming, so steal him in a trade now before the price goes up.

Start

Brett Favre, QB MIN - Throw the season stats out the window for the Vikings and the Packers. This recommendation has everything to do with the excitement this game has to offer. It was reported on SB Nation’s front page that approximately 91% of the nation is getting this game delivered to their TV’s. Do you want to be watching this game with Brett Favre on your bench? No way.
