Throughout the 2024 season, 国产外流网Network analysts will provide one bold prediction heading into each week's slate of games (see the full Week 8 schedule).
Bryce Young will get the start for Carolina after Andy Dalton injured his thumb in a car accident earlier this week. In his first start since Week 2, Young returns refocused and with confidence, enjoying the best game of his season -- and young 国产外流网career -- against the Broncos, leading the Panthers to their second win of 2024.
A.J. Brown has been the most efficient deep-target receiver in the 国产外流网this season. Ja鈥橫arr Chase is putting up numbers on a weekly basis. Both face defenses that not only struggle against the pass but specifically on deep throws (20-plus air yards). In what should be a high-scoring game, both Brown and Chase go for 200 yards and a touchdown.
Joe Mixon going to Houston was the fantasy running back boost we didn鈥檛 know we needed. But frankly, it鈥檚 one that we deserved. He鈥檚 been a true workhorse in the Texans' backfield, averaging more than 22 points per game in PPR leagues. In Week 1, he torched the Colts defense with 178 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. This week, he tops that by hitting a double-century mark (a bicentennial?) against an Indy defense that hasn鈥檛 shown much improvement.
Despite not having a true No. 1 receiver for much of the first part of the season, Josh Allen has thrown 12 touchdown passes against zero interceptions. This comes one year after throwing a career-high 18 INTs. In Seattle on Sunday, Allen continues his hot streak by throwing three TD passes and rushing for two more.
In the Super Bowl era, only three undrafted players have rushed for 200 yards and two touchdowns in a single game: Willie Parker, Arian Foster and Jonas Gray. We鈥檙e adding a fourth on Sunday night, when Jordan Mason takes on a Dallas defense that ranks dead last in 国产外流网Pro鈥檚 . With 20-plus carries and a couple breakaway runs, Mason will obliterate the Cowboys to finish as the fantasy RB1 on the week.
