Week 8 QB Streaming Options and 2-QB Plays

QB rankings and streaming advice for Week 8 of the 2020 fantasy football season.

We are (almost) halfway through the season and — contrary to what we might have believed a couple weeks ago — Week 7 was played as planned with no Tuesday Night Football games or severe rescheduling nightmares.

Instead, we were fortunate to get to watch some good, and some ugly, football.

The Good:

The Baker Mayfield vs. Joe Burrow duel you never knew you needed.

Mayfield started the game 0-for-5 with an interception but quickly rebounded with a nearly perfect performance, missing only one completion the remainder of the game and completing the day with 297 passing yards and five touchdowns in a WIN against the Bengals. The Browns are now 5-2.

Though the Bengals are now 1-5-1, Burrow is proving himself to be franchise-quarterback worthy. Burrow became the first rookie in NFL history to record three passing TDs, one rushing TD and throw for 350 passing yards in a game, ending the day with 440 total yards and four TDs. Last week marked Burrow’s fifth game with 300-plus passing passing yards. The only rookie in NFL history with more games is Andrew Luck (6).

2020 — the year you’re grossly entertained by a Bengals-Browns matchup

The Bad:

Andy Dalton is in the concussion protocol after being hit by Washington’s Jon Bostic while Dalton was giving himself up on a play. Having already lost Dak Prescott for the season, Ben DiNucci entered the game to close out the Cowboys’ 25-3 loss. Who will be under center for the Cowboys as they take on the Eagles in Week 8 remains uncertain.

The Boast:

All three of myWeek 7 picks posted in the top half of fantasy quarterback performances. The secret is officially out on my 2QB pick – and our QB1 of the week – Justin Herbert, who posted the fourth best fantasy football game by a rookie quarterback in league history. Though not comparable but still capable, Kyle Allen produced a season-best 7.8 yards per attempt with 198 yards and two scores and, though Teddy Bridgewater wasn’t able to pull out a game-winning drive for Carolina, he delivered to fantasy owners with 254 yards and two touchdowns.

TwoQB	Justin Herbert	38.5 FP
Streamer	Kyle Allen	16.9 FP
Bounce back	Teddy Bridgewater	19.2 FP

Jacksonville, Houston, Washington and Arizona have byes this week.

QB rankings and streaming advice for Week 14 of the 2020 fantasy football season.
