Week 8 Monday Review: Comeback Stories Headline What Proved to be an Exciting Start to the Second Half of the Fantasy Season

After Week 7 underwhelmed overall, Week 8 has more than made up for it.

The top-two picks in this year’s NFL draft provided us with what will likely be the most memorable ending to a game fans get all season, as the legend (and MVP resume) of Jayden Daniels continues to grow. Tua Tagovailoa’s return provided the spark that Miami needed to get its offense back on track. On top of all that, fantasy managers got the best week of the season from the tight end position on National Tight End Day.

With such a great start to the second half of the fantasy season, hopefully the rest of the season can measure up!

As always, we will be using the Monday Review tool to look at all the Week 8 action as we head into the Week 8 finale between the Steelers and Giants on Monday night.

Kevin Szafraniec April 25, 2025

In the week prior to the 2025 NFL Draft, I put out articles detailing the ideal landing spots for this year’s rookie crop of running backs and wide receivers based on vacated opportunities from 2024 and player performance.

With Comps to Late Bloomers Like Davante Adams, Robert Woods, and Michael Crabtree, Can This WR Buck the Trend with a Year 2 Breakout?

Kevin Szafraniec April 22, 2025

Robert Woods was drafted at the beginning of the second round in 2013 by Buffalo, but had to wait six years before seeing his first breakout season. Following his first 200-point PPR season in 2018, he put up two more in consecutive seasons. The 49ers selected Michael Crabtree with the 10th pick of the 2009 draft, but he did not break out until his fourth…...

Is the Sky the Limit For This WR Whose First Year Looked A Lot Like Tyreek Hill’s Rookie Season?

Kevin Szafraniec April 21, 2025

If based solely on attributes, he would have easily come off of the board in one of the first two rounds. Hill’s talent was never in doubt, and he proved it by putting up more than 200 PPR points and finishing as the PPR WR18 during his rookie…...
