Don't worry, you can get started in just a few seconds **RIGHT HERE**.
Below are the Perfect Challenge picks for Week 8 from The NFL Fantasy Stronghold.
Matt Franciscovich's Week 8 lineup (on Twitter @MattFranchise)
At first glance, the Derek Carr pick makes sense. The Bucs defense is bad, right? Actually, they've been pretty tough on quarterbacks. Maybe Franchise believes in Carr that much. Or he knows something we don't. Playing the matchups with Spencer Ware is smart. Playing David Johnson no matter what is also smart. Mike Evans has gobbled all of the targets in Tampa and Brandon Marshall could do the same for the Jets. Why not start the top-scoring tight end and defense in fantasy? And you can't go wrong with the NFL's most consistent kicker.
Alex Gelhar's Week 8 lineup (on Twitter @AlexGelhar)
Who in the Stronghold knows the Packers defense better than Alex Gelhar? That could explain why he rolled with the red-hot Matt Ryan at quaterback. Spencer Ware should gain in popularity this week against Indy while LeGarrette Blount is a nice out-of-the-box play. Julio Jones and Mike Evans are both top-five wideouts with good matchups while Jimmy Graham should get right in a revenge game against the Saints. It's good to see that Alex believes in Mason Crosby while the Vikings defense feels like a no-brainer.
Matt Harmon's Week 8 lineup (on Twitter @MattHarmonBYB)
Harmon starts with a contrarian play. Brees against the Seahawks seems bad. But Brees is normally better at home than on the road. The quintet of David Johnson, Spencer Ware, Mike Evans, Adam Vinatieri and the Vikings D/ST are a smart callback to Franchise's roster. The Michael Crabtree picks speaks to his quietly elevated position in the Raiders offense. And Jimmy Graham because he's good at football again.
Marcas Grant's Week 8 lineup (on Twitter @MarcasG)
Maybe I'm blinded by last week's big stat line, but I believe an encore is in the works for Aaron Rodgers against the Falcons. Spencer Ware agains the Colts and Jacquizz Rodgers against the Raiders are two cases of playing the matchups. The same goes for T.Y. Hilton and Mike Evans. Of course, those players are both top-five receivers as well. Gronk. Because Gronk. Matt Bryant should get plenty of opportunities in a game that could be high-scoring. The Cardinals defense goes against the grain, but they should be able to force some turnovers versus the Panthers.
Those are our picks for Week 8. Hit us up on Twitter with your lineup. Enjoy the games!
