Fantasy football start/sit advice for Week 8 at QB, RB, WR, TE

Welcome to Week 8 of the fantasy football season! Here are some players I believe you should start and some you should sit. However, your results may vary, so don't blindly bench someone if you don't have a better alternative.

Bye Weeks: Houston Texans, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers

Quarterbacks:

Start: Dak Prescott, Cowboys vs. Cardinals

Prescott has been inconsistent this season, but he's performed well in recent games and faces a struggling Cardinals defense. He's primed to bounce back from his strong Monday night performance against the Eagles.

Sit: Jacoby Brissett, Cardinals at Cowboys

Brissett might not be benched if the Cardinals have backup quarterbacks. The Cowboys have allowed poor passing statistics, which could help Brissett accumulate fantasy points. The Cowboys offense should be able to score while Brissett struggles to keep up through the air.

Running backs:

Start: Kyler Murray, Vikings vs. Lions

Murray's poor performance last week may not continue, as the Vikings' defense will be strong against him. However, they have struggled against opposing quarterbacks, making Murray a potential starter.

Sit: Michael Penix Jr., Falcons at Buccaneers

Penix Jr. has been on a roll with back-to-back three-touchdown games, but I'm hesitant to start him this week. The Buccaneers defense has been strong against both passing and rushing attacks, potentially slowing down Penix Jr.'s performance.
