10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 8
Mike Gillislee, RB, Buffalo Bills
ESPN Ownership: 6.1%
Mike Gillislee went from a locked-in starter in Week 7 to borderline unplayable given the status of LeSean McCoy. McCoy was questionable for the Buffalo Bills' game against the Miami Dolphins in Week 7 but wound up playing.
McCoy re-injured his hamstring, and we can't take for granted his Week 8 status against the New England Patriots. Third-stringer Reggie Bush did pilfer a touchdown, but Gillislee could wind up as a multi-week fantasy asset given McCoy's uncertain status.
Gillislee should be considered this week for all teams, especially for owners who are relying on McCoy.
