Fantasy football Week 8 projections: Texans-Titans featuring Arian Foster, DeAndre Hopkins and Kendall Wright

The Week 8 matchup between the Houston Texans and the Tennessee Titans features a stout defense against a lackluster offense. We've got the fantasy projections for you courtesy of numberFire.

Running back Arian Foster eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark for the third week in a row against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7. Although he had a tough game overall, fumbling the football and twisting his knee, Foster was again the most reliable offensive weapon for his team. Given his steady volume of work and the fact the Titans are one of the worst teams in the NFL this season, Foster should be able to continue his productive ways in Week 8.

When the Texans give Foster a break and go to the air, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is a prime target. After catching just a single pass in Week 6, Hopkins caught six for 108 yards against the Steelers last week. He's been targeted at least five times in all but one game this year and should be in for a great day against a Titans secondary that gives up a ton of fantasy points to wide receivers.

Wide receiver Kendall Wright had quite a bounce back performance last week after catching just one pass in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wright nabbed six passes for 68 yards and a touchdown against Washington last week and may be counted on more than usual if teammate Justin Hunter sees tight coverage down the field against Houston in Week 8.

When the Titans run the ball on Sunday, rookie Bishop Sankey will have his number called the most. After waiting in the wings behind Shonn Greene and Dexter McCluster to start the season, Sankey has 24 carries in the last two games combined. Though it will be tough for him to exceed his season high of 61 rushing yards against the Titans, he may get there based on sheer volume of work given the Titans are starting Zach Mettenberger at quarterback for the first time in Week 8.
