OK, that last name is made up, but it could’ve been real. You don’t know. The rest are actual humans, though, and let’s face it, they’re all in play this week. Matchups are tough to evaluate for any position in Week 1, and it’s nearly impossible to predict how kickers will fare from week-to-week anyway. A five-FG game by the immortal Wil Lutz is certainly possible. But enough talk, let’s get to the rankings....
If you need a TE or D/ST streamer, there aren’t many great options. Fortunately, it’s a fairly deep week at both positions, but we could only identify a few stream-worthy options in our full waiver list. Strategy-wise, this feels like a week to save your claim unless Perine is available in your league. As much potential value as Coleman, Williams, Woodhead, Westbrook and so on could have, they’re also far from sure things....
But even if you don’t have a high waiver claim, there are still plenty of worthwhile adds, be it off the waiver wire or as free agents. Several more “handcuff” RBs stand out (some of which really aren’t handcuffs but fantasy owners just don’t realize it yet), and there are a few WR3 possibilities, including one who didn’t even play last week. No teams are on bye in Week 12, but that doesn’t mean you can’t grab a D/ST and TE sleeper....
One factor that might give a lot of owners pause is that the Week 6 byes aren’t going to hurt too much (Bengals, Bills, Cowboys, Seahawks), so there might not be as much of a need to make a move, especially at the “streamer” positions (TE and D/ST). But if you do need a backup, there are a lot of options, as tight end is packed with options. Check out our full waiver wire list for D/ST streamers, TE sleepers, handcuff RBs, and more....

That’s the main reason I’ll be willing to give some preseason pitching sleepers who snoozed through the 2014 season another chance to wake up next year. After their struggles this season, they should be great values in 2015 even though their ceilings are still very high. So, here are a few guys I’ll be stubborn about again next year (and maybe beyond if necessary). Gerrit Cole, Pirates. Let’s start big....

WEEK 8 PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker Unfortunately, Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee), Chris Carson (neck), Christian McCaffrey (hamstring), and Kareem Hunt (calf) are all still on IR and can’t return this week, but we could be getting Saquon Barkley (ankle), Nick Chubb (calf), and David Montgomery (knee) back. Montgomery figures to remain out, but Barkley (@ Chiefs) and Chubb (vs. Steelers) both have shots to return....
As usual, matchups are all over the board this week. Studs like Jonathan Taylor (vs. Bills), Austin Ekeler (vs. Steelers), Cordarrelle Patterson (vs. Patriots), James Robinson (vs. 49ers), D’Andre Swift (vs. Browns), and Saquon Barkley (vs. Buccaneers) are in tough spots on paper, but they’ll be in all fantasy lineups as long as they’re healthy. The tougher calls are guys like Alex Collins/Chris Carson (vs. Cardinals), Jordan Howard/Boston Scott (vs....
Harvin was traded to the Jets for a conditional 2015 draft pick on Friday, a move that sees him go from the No. 12 scoring offense (26.6 points per game) to the No. 30 scoring offense (17.3). And here’s a little good news/bad news for you: Seattle averages the fewest passing yards per game (199), but the Jets are only marginally better (201.7). New York does run a higher percentage of pass plays (56-44 pass-run patio) compared to the Seahawks (52-48), but that’s largely out of necessity since they trail more often....
