Here are three key findings that will help you win your week eight fantasy football matchup starting with finding number one.

It's the sketchy spot of the week and this is for Terry mcclure against the Chicago Bears.

Look mcclure has been fantastic this season.

He currently ranks top 20 in Fantasy points per game and has at least 13 Fantasy points in five straight games that is very reliable.

Now, we know mcclun is the number one receiver on the commanders, but honestly, he's like their only receiver.

He already has 23 more targets than any other wide receiver on Washington.

So no doubt about it.

Mcclure has had an awesome start to the season, but this week it's a sketchy spot against the Bears because Chicago's defense allows the third fewest passing yards per play and this season, their secondary overall ranks second.

That's already bad enough.

But mcclure also has to play this game most likely without his quarterback Jaden Daniels.

It's a sketchy spot for Terry.

Finding number two is the pickup and play of the week and this is for the Packers wide receiver Romeo Dobbs Dobbs is coming off of his best performance of the season.

He caught eight balls for 94 yards on a team high 10 targets.

What makes this even more impressed of is that Dobbs was productive against the Texans to allow the second fewest receiving yards per game.

Now, Dobbs has scored at least 17 fantasy points in back to back contests.

Now, of course, the Packers have a lot of talented receivers, Jaden Reid, Christian Watson Dont and Wick.

So it makes it hard to see a consistent role for Dobbs.

However, Dobbs is the number one receiver, the ex receiver on the outside for Jordan Love and the Packers and that is a very valuable role for fantasy and heading into week eight, he has a great matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars who allow the second most receiving per game.

You can start Dobbs this week.

Finding number three is the best spot of the week and it's for the San Francisco 49 Ers running back Jordan Mason against the Dallas Cowboys.

Mason is coming off of his best usage of the season.

In week seven.

He saw 86% of the snaps and 93% of the backfield carries.

Both of those were season highs.

Now he failed to find the ends owner have a big day for fantasy, but it was nice to see that he looked fully healthy back from his week six shoulder injury and Mason gets at least one more game before a potential Christian mccaffrey returned in week 10 after the Niners by week.

And this game is against the Dallas Cowboys.

It's a great matchup because the Cowboys allow the most EPA per rushing play this year.

The most efficiency to running backs in the NFL according to NFL Pro and not to mention the 49er passing attack won't have Brandon Auk and they might not have Juan Jennings and Debo Samuel for this game, expect them to lean on Jordan Mason.

So these have been the three key findings that will help you in your week eight fantasy football match up.

Now, as always beautiful people, you just got to take this information, put it into your brain and smack around your competition with it.
