Top Players To Add in Week 8

Darrell Henderson, RB, Los Angeles Rams

It’s impressive that Darrell Henderson was able to go straight from “off the couch” to seeing 18 carries in his first game back on an NFL field since November 2022!

With Kyren Williams sidelined for the next three weeks — at least — with an ankle injury that put him on injured reserve, Henderson should continue to see the majority of the touches in this backfield. That will at least put him on the RB2 radar week in and week out.

Dalton Kincaid, TE, Buffalo Bills

With the news that Dawson Knox is set to miss some time with a wrist injury, we should see Dalton Kincaid even more involved in the offense moving forward. After a solid performance in Week 7, fantasy managers are going to be chomping at the bit to add the explosive playmaker.

While he should absolutely be a priority pickup for fantasy managers going into Week 8, it’ll be important to temper your expectations for the rookie TE going into this next matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The expectations might get a little bit out of control, especially if he gets viewed as a borderline top-five TE this week. We need to see Kincaid string together multiple solid performances before we can put him into that category, so add him but don’t blow your FAAB budget on him.
