DFS: Week 8 AFC Target Tracker

Here's a team-by-team look at the most targeted players in the AFC through Week 7 (click here for NFC targets):

Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore passing offense does a good job of spreading the ball around and Forsett's ability to catch limits the upside of the receiving group. DFS players should probably look elsewhere as neither Smith, Aiken, or Gillmore provide a steady floor or high ceiling.

Buffalo Bills

Tyrod Taylor will hopefully be back in Week 8 but the health of Harvin and Watkins are significant issues. Fill-in receivers Woods and Hogan are legitimate options for GPP play in the meantime.

Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals take on Pittsburgh in a divisional matchup in Week 8. Green, Eifert, and Jones are the only real receiving options here.

Cleveland Browns

Barnidge continues to be a strong option at tight end. Quarterback Josh McCown is expected to start despite suffering a shoulder injury in Week 7. Barnidge is an option in all DFS formats while Benjamin is limited to GPP games.

Denver Broncos

As per usual, Thomas and Sanders are the only options here. Both are fit for cash games or GPPs because of their guaranteed production. The Broncos have a Week 8 showdown with Green Bay, which has a solid pass defense.

Houston Texans

An embarrassing loss in Miami shouldn't deter DFS players from considering the Texans' receiving options. Hopkins continues to be a top wideout and Washington provides an intriguing play in GPPs.

Indianapolis Colts

The skill of Andrew Luck - interceptions aside - makes both HIlton and Moncrief viable DFS options. Hilton put up 150 yards and two TDs with 15 targets and Moncrief snagged a late TD to save his fantasy value in Week 7.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Robinson and Hurns both had TDs in Week 7 as Jacksonville continues to be a legitimate option for fantasy players. The Jags are on a bye for Week 8.

Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City offense is difficult to trust for all fantasy players at this point. The Chiefs host the Lions next week, a decent matchup if DFS players wish to trust Alex Smith.

Miami Dolphins

Landry has had five targets in back-to-back weeks but was extremely productive in Week 7, totalling 83 yards and two touchdowns. However, DFS players should think about fading the Dolphins with a Thursday night game against the Patriots looming.

New England Patriots

Gronk had a great game, racking up 16 targets leading the Pats to a Week 7 win. DFS players can feel comfortable rostering Edelman and Gronk in cash games and Lewis in GPP formats.

New York Jets

Decker and Marshall are the only two passing options in New York and continue to be solid cash game plays. However, neither seem like great GPP options as the Jets are more efficient than explosive.

Oakland Raiders

The Carr-to-Cooper combo was in full effect last week and is a legitimate weekly GPP combo going forward. The Raiders host the Jets in Week 8 making Crabtree an appealing GPP option; Cooper be shadowed by Darrelle Revis.

Pittsburgh Steelers

With Ben Roethisberger likely to return, the Steelers receiving group will be especially appealing in DFS. Brown is a cash game must-roster, while Bryant is a great option in GPPs.

San Diego Chargers

Gates was inactive in Week 7, leading to another productive week for Green at the tight end spot. Woodhead's 12 targets are inflated due to the Chargers playing catch up in garbage time. Ultimately, Allen and Gates are the best options here.

Tennessee Titans

As stated in previous weeks, the Tennessee receiving group is not an option in fantasy right now. Whether it is Marcus Mariota or Zach Mettenberger at QB in Week 8, DFS players should stay away.
