Each week we’ll be taking a look at the upcoming NFL games and giving you our take on which IDPs have the most favorable matchups and who you should be considering starting in your fantasy football teams.
Let’s get started for Week 8

Second on the team in sacks (4) and 4th in IDP123 scoring per game is the DL12 with 14.4 fantasy points, Burns looks to be in line for a big day this week as he’s going up against a Falcons offensive line that has been playing sub-optimally all season, ranked the 24th pass-blocking unit in the NFL. Aligning mostly on the left side of the defensive line, Reddick should see a lot of Kaleb McGary who has allowed 15 QB pressures on the season at right tackle. Look for Burns to boost his sack total today!
Bobby Okereke (Linebacker)-Indianapolis Colts

Okereke, the team leader at total tackles at linebacker on the Colts, is going to have a plethora of tackle opportunities going against a run-heavy Titans offense powered by Derrick Henry. Don’t let his 17.6% missed tackle rate scare you off this week against Tennessee. Against the Titans in Week 3, Okereke posted 8 total tackles and 1 sack for a total of 23.00 IDP123 fantasy points.
Eddie Jackson (Defensive Back)-Chicago Bears
The best-rated run-stopping safety on the team, Eddie Jackson has put up two impressive games in back-to-back weeks with 19 total tackles respectively. Look for that to continue going against a Patriots team that hasn’t been shy from running the ball with Damien Harris on the season.
