IDP Fantasy Football Plays And Fades: Week 8 (2024)

Week 8 of the NFL season is here, and we get a break from bye weeks with everyone playing this week. Hopefully this gives Fantasy Football managers a reprieve from having to make difficult decisions of who to plug into their lineups this week.

Make sure to check out our Fantasy In Frames IDP waiver-wire article every week to fill in your open roster spots. 

Below are my educated guesses of players to Play and others to Fade for Week 8 of the NFL season. As we continue to get more data, we get a better idea of who to lean on throughout the season.
As always I am going to give you some players I think could have a better week than expected or might have a worse game than predicted.

Here we go!

Plays

  1. Jalen Carter, DT Eagles at Bengals
    • Carter put it all together in Week 7. He had four tackles, three solo stops, and two sacks. His snap share was 79% last week and he has five QB Hits in the last two games. 
    • The Bengals have given up 18 sacks this season. Quarterback Joe Burrow has been sacked three or more times in five of seven games this season.
  2. Donte Fowler, DE Commanders vs Bears
    • I’m suggesting Fowler for the second week in a row. Fowlers was one of my favorite plays last week, and he is one of my plays again. He had an impressive Week 7, finishing the game with 22 points in Fantasy Pros scoring to be DL1 for the week. He had two solo tackles and one sack. He had the biggest defensive play of the night with an interception returned for a touchdown. 
  1. Khalil Mack, DE Chargers vs Saints
    • Mack doesn’t have a sack since Week 3, but he should be due against a team that is falling apart in front of our eyes. Mack had his best PFF pass rush grade in Week 7 against Arizona with a 91.9 score. His best grade since Week 3. Mack had a 22.7% Win Rate and 18.2% Pressure Rate against the Cardinals. Sack incoming.
    • The Saints have given up 16 sacks this season, and QB Spencer Rattler is expected to get the start again. He has been sacked 5 and 6 times in his two starts.

  1. Nnamdi Madubuike, DL Ravens at Browns
