10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 8
With six teams on bye and injuries muddying the fantasy landscape, who are players to target on your league's waiver wire?

Ricardo Louis, WR, Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns will be on the hunt for their first win of the season, and it may come at the expense of the New York Jets via a better-than-expected passing attack, assuming quarterback Cody Kessler can make his way back from a concussion sustained in Week 7.

Kessler has been pretty efficient as a passer in filling in for injured quarterbacks Robert Griffin III and Josh McCown -- entering the week, he was our 13th-most efficient passer on a per drop back basis. And the Jets have been pretty generous to opposing pass offenses so far this year -- they've given up the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks and the second-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers.

Terrelle Pryor has been a bright spot for the Browns but is nursing a hamstring injury, and Corey Coleman is still out with a broken hand. Enter lowly-owned Ricardo Louis, who has seen 12 targets over the last two weeks.

Given a porous pass defense they'll be squaring off against this week, Louis provides for a low-owned, high-ceiling option for those of you in deeper leagues.
