10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 8
Marvin Jones gets a nice matchup in what could be an offensive-minded game. Who else is in a good spot in Week 8?

Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, New York Jets

Ryan Fitzpatrick continues being a solid fantasy quarterback. He has posted at least 20 fantasy points in consecutive games, and given his trio of weapons -- Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, and Chris Ivory -- and trustworthy defense (the Jets rank second in the league in Adjusted Defensive NEP per play), he should be gifted not-horrible game scripts quite often.

The Oakland Raiders are 23rd in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks, and they are 28th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play. With the Jets as two-point road favorites, Fitzpatrick shouldn't be put in bad spots. Ivory is dealing with a hamstring injury, but he's listed as probable. That could be enough to lean on the pass just a tad more, and Fitz could hit 20 points again.
