Between the Lines: Week 8 Snap Count Analysis

NFC South

Atlanta Falcons - Bye Week

Carolina Panthers -Are You Ready for D.J?

Quarterback: Cam Newton (95%)

Running Backs: Christian McCaffrey (98%)

Wide Receivers: Devin Funchess (74%), D.J. Moore (71%), Curtis Samuel (40%), Jarius Wright (26%), Damiere Byrd (14%)

Tight Ends: Greg Olsen (97%), Chris Manhertz (34%), Ian Thomas (12%)

One of the most popular waiver-wire adds this week will be Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore. Moore saw a huge bump to 71% of the Panthers' offensive snaps this week. His previous high was in Week 3 when he was on the field for 49% of the team's plays. He was productive with his work this week, too, finishing with 5 receptions for 90 yards as well as 39 yards on a couple of carries. His opponent this week couldn't be much better from a fantasy standpoint. The Panthers face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have given up the third-most standard points per game to opposing wideouts this year. If you have a good spot in your waiver order or have a decent amount of FAAB left, get ready to use it.

New Orleans Saints - Meredith Continues to Slump

Quarterbacks: Drew Brees (100%), Taysom Hill (34%)

Running Backs: Alvin Kamara ( 72%), Mark Ingram (43%)

Wide Receiver: Michael Thomas (96%), Tre'Quan Smith (77%), Austin Carr (36%), Cameron Meredith (17%)

Tight End: Josh Hill (64%), Benjamin Watson (26%)

New Orleans Saints wideout Cameron Meredith continues his descent into fantasy obscurity. After decent outings in Week 4 and Week 5, he has not only failed to see the field often, but he hasn't received a single target. If you want anything to do with the receiver corps in New Orleans other than Michael Thomas, Tre'Quan has proven himself to be the guy. Everybody else can be left on the wire.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers -The Magic is Back

Quarterback: Jameis Winston (72%), Ryan Fitzpatrick (28%)

Running Backs: Peyton Barber (49%), Jacquizz Rodgers (38%), Ronald Jones (12%)

Wide Receivers: Mike Evans (80%), Chris Godwin (72%), Adam Humphries (70%), DeSean Jackson (52%)

Tight Ends: O.J. Howard (60%), Cameron Brate (30%), Antony Auclair (17%)

While we would never say that a quarterback's career is done after an awful performance, it sure as heck feels that way with Jameis Winston. He threw four interceptions on Sunday and now has 10 for the year. Despite missing three-plus games, that is tied for the worst number in the league this year. It's a magnificent feat, one that earned him a trip to the bench in favor of Ryan Fitzpatrick, who will start against Carolina this week. If you love some magic, then you get your chance once again. You might want to wait beyond this week's matchup against Carolina. Though, the Magic is the only player with three 400-plus yard games in a row, so who knows?!
