Rashod Bateman Has Flex Appeal In Week 8

Friday, October 25, 5:25 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is currently on pace to shatter all of his career highs for stats in a single season. He averages 18.8 yards per reception, 56.3 yards per game, and 13.1 yards per target so far. His counterpart, Zay Flowers (ankle), received a questionable designation, so he could even move up in the target order for this game. On top of that, he draws a favorable matchup as the Cleveland Browns are the fifth-easiest matchup for opposing receiver groups. They allow 31.1 fantasy points per game in half-PPR formats. All of that gives Bateman some more flex appeal when it comes to Week 8.

De'Von Achane High Upside RB2 In Week 8

Friday, October 25, 9:18 PM

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane gets a huge boost this week with starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) back in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. The Miami offense has been disappointing overall in 2024, scoring only 70 points in six games. Despite this, the 23-year-old has seen consistent volume as a runner and in the passing game. He now gets a solid matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, who rank 20th in fantasy points per game to opposing running backs and allowed the seventh most rushing yards per game (114.4). This is a prime spot for Achane to return to the RB1 conversation. He is a must-start in all formats and is RB15 in the latest RotoBaller running back rankings for Week 8.
