Good morning.🎃
Hope you had a Happy Halloween!
Sorry I’m a little late with the newsletter today. Last night’s festivities caused a bit of a delay in my process. And trust me, you wouldn’t want any fantasy advice from me at my friend’s Halloween party last night…
Fortunately I’m now of sound mind and body and ready to focus on what’s most important—dominating Week 8 in my fantasy football leagues.✊
Let’s get after it…

Your K-Cup Has Been Sitting in a Warehouse for Months
That grocery store pod? It was roasted long before it hit the shelf. Coffee starts losing flavor within weeks of roasting — which is why your morning cup tastes flat, no matter how nice your machine is.
Angelino's does it differently. A third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, they roast, grind, and seal every pod in-house for peak freshness, then ship it to your door within days of roasting. The difference is the first thing you'll notice: real aroma, real flavor, no bitterness.
Mix and match from 50+ specialty coffees, teas, and flavored blends — all Keurig®-compatible — and save more with every box you add, up to 34% off at 12+. Order once whenever you're running low, or subscribe for an extra 5% if that's easier. Entirely up to you.
New customers get 15% off their first order — applied automatically, no code needed.
STARTS & SITS 🧐
Quarterback
✅ Start ‘Em
Dak Prescott vs. ARI: In four losses, Prescott is averaging just 14.2 fantasy PPG. In Dallas’ three wins, though, he’s averaged 23.7 fantasy PPG, per The Fantasy Footballers’ Mike Wright. The Cowboys enter this matchup as seven-point home favorites in a 54.5-point O/U, so Dak should be sitting on a big week.
Kyler Murray @ DET: “Detroit is the most generous defense to fantasy QBs, with multiple TDs allowed to every QB its encountered, including at least three TDs to four of those six passers.” — Yahoo’s Justin Boone
Jacoby Brissett @ DAL: Brissett is averaging 40.3 pass attempts per game (the most in the NFL) and is going up against a Dallas D that’s allowing 19.7 fantasy PPG to QBs (6th-most in the league), per PFSN’s Jason Katz.
❌ Sit ‘Em
Bo Nix vs. KC: The Chiefs are allowing only 13.03 fantasy PPG to opposing QBs, 3rd-fewest behind the Seahawks and Vikings. They've only allowed 14+ points to one QB all season (Kirk Cousins in Week 4), and Nix himself scored just 5.44 against them in Week 1 with 131 passing yards, one TD, an INT and a fumble lost, per Yahoo’s Matt Okada.
Jared Goff vs. MIN: The Vikings are allowing an absurd 7.6 fantasy PPG to QBs, easily the fewest in the league, per Jason Katz.
Caleb Williams @ SEA: Seattle has held opposing QBs to the 2nd-fewest passing yards and fantasy points this season, per Justin Boone.
😴 Sleepers
Geno Smith vs. LV: The Raiders give up the 11th-most passing yards per game (245.1) and the 5th-most passing TDs per game (2.3). They also roll out Cover 3 (33.2%) and Cover 1 (14.4%) at a 47.6% clip, and Smith averages a huge 9.08 yards per attempt with a 106.3 passer rating on 126 dropbacks against those coverages, per Fantasy Points’ John Hansen.
Sam Darnold vs. CHI: He’s coming off his most efficient outing this season, averaging 8.3 adjusted yards per attempt, the 10th-highest mark among QBs in Week 7. Now he gets a Bears defense that’s boosting QB points by the 5th-highest rate at 22.9%, per Draft Sharks’ Ian Miller.
