10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 8
Jacquizz Rodgers, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
ESPN Ownership: 34.4%
Jacquizz Rodgers is an absolute must-add for Week 8. Rodgers is still owned in only about one-third of leagues on ESPN but at a much higher rate in Yahoo leagues, so he's an add in a much shallower settings.
And Rodgers certainly is getting his fair share of a heavy workload -- over the last two games, with Doug Martin out with injury, Rodgers has racked up a combined 62 touches for 292 all-purpose yards.
Next up, assuming Martin is still on the shelf, Rodgers has a fantastic matchup against the Oakland Raiders, who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs.
There aren't many single running back situations in the NFL, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers appear to be one of them, and Rodgers deserves your attention.
The same could be said for Matt Asiata and the Minnesota Vikings, who could be without Jerick McKinnon in Week 8 on Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears. Asiata played 75% of the Vikings' snaps in Week 7, according to Fantasy Data.
