Fantasy Football Week 8 Start/Sit Advice for Quarterbacks

As fantasy football managers prepare for Week 8, decisions regarding starting or sitting quarterbacks can be challenging. This week, focus is on Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, and Jacoby Brissett, who are key players to consider for lineup adjustments.

Sam Darnold has struggled with turnovers, averaging 1.6 interceptions per game since his return from injury. Despite this, he had a strong performance against the Washington Commanders earlier this season. He faces a Chicago Bears defense that has recently allowed over 25 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.

Baker Mayfield returned from a thumb injury in Week 7, scoring 6.7 fantasy points in a limited role during a blowout victory. His efficiency improved, and he averaged 0.6 fantasy points per pass attempt in that game. Meanwhile, Jacoby Brissett remains the starter for the Arizona Cardinals, having scored 16.5 fantasy points last week against a tough Denver defense. He is expected to perform well against the Dallas Cowboys, who have struggled defensively.
