It’s hard to believe how quickly the 2022 season is flying by. Further complicating matters is the arrival of those pesky bye weeks. That places added importance on the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 8.

Here are the top fantasy-relevant, low-rostered free agents to target ahead of Week 8, with FAAB recommendations.

Week 8 byes: Kansas City, Los Angeles Chargers 

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Bailey Zappe (QB) New England Patriots (5% FAAB- After Mac Jones threw an interception on his 3rd drive coming back off the ankle injury in Monday Night Football, Coach Belichick benched Jones in favor of Zappe. Zappe threw a 30-yard TD to Jakobi Meyers and a 43-yard completion to DeVante Parker in his first two drives. In his previous two games, Zappe was the 2nd highest-graded QB, per PFF, only behind Josh Allen. Among QBs over that span, Zappe ranks in the top 5 for adjusted completion % and NFL Passer Rating, while also throwing for the 8th most yards during that span. Zappe may not add much with his legs, but he’ll be an interesting QB2 moving forward as long as he starts.

Daniel Jones (QB) New York Giants (5% FAAB)- The 6-1 Giants are cruising under Daniel Jones and their defense. Jones just rushed for 107 yards on 11 carries. This is the third such game Jones has rushed for 68+ yards. He’s the QB9 on the season and showed his ceiling Week 7 against Jacksonville. The Giants get Seattle in Week 8, a defense that gives up 17.9 fantasy points per game and 7th most rush yards to QBs this season. Consider Jones a high-floor QB2, as he’s 34% rostered.

Def vs WR Matchups Report

October 21, 2022 Scott Atkins

This Fantasy Football tool shows you how well (or how poorly) each pass defense is performing against each position this NFL season.

RECEIVING YARDS ALLOWED BY POSITION

This new featured tool displays how each defense performs against their opponent’s receiving yardage gained by position.

So for example, if you see a team is ranked 1st vs. WR #1, that defense is currently the best at limiting their opponent’s WR #1 yardage compared to other teams. Or if you see a team is ranked 32nd against WR #2, that defense is the worst against WR #2’s or more accurately, the defense is allowing the most yards to WR #2’s compared to the other teams in the league. This a great tool to find and exploit useful matchups. Don’t forget to check out all the positions as well (WR #1, WR #2, Other WRs, TE & RB).

Just when we thought things couldn’t get worse, last week’s Thursday tilt set the bar even lower. After two duds in a row, football fans need some offense. Fortunately, our Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 7 offers up an intriguing NFC matchup.

An added element to this game is the ‘must-win’ factor for both squads. At 2-4, this is close to an elimination game for the team that loses.

There are also several key injuries to contend with that make handicapping this game more difficult.

Matchup 

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS
New Orleans Saints  4  15  7  6  11
Arizona Cardinals  14  16  15  29  22

It is a surprise to see the Saints sporting a top-5 offense at this point. Injuries have hit the team hard, including at quarterback. Every regular starter in the New Orleans offense has missed at least one game. To still mount the league’s No. 4 offense is a testament to what Dennis Allen has done in 2022…

How will tonight’s game go?

Advanced NFL Snap Counts Report Week 6

NFL Snap Counts Frequently Asked Questions

What are NFL snap counts?

Snap counts represent the total number of offensive plays a player participated in during a given week.

Why should I care about NFL snap counts?

The number of times a player is on the field for a player can be incredibly useful. It helps track usage, and how players are used and provide fantasy football managers with the ability to look beyond the usual on-field production by adding context to those more traditional statistics.

How are your NFL snap-count numbers compiled?

NFL snap counts are tracked by the NFL Game Statistics and Information System (GSIS). For the last two years, each player has had a chip inserted in his shoulder pads so that radio transmitters in stadiums can track his every move on the field. This is how the GSIS compiles snap counts (and other on-field information).

How can I use NFL snap counts to leverage my success in fantasy football?

Understanding playing time can be a key factor in setting your weekly lineup. In particular, understanding and identifying trends that might give you an early jump on acquiring free agents or making trades for players who might quietly be gaining playing time.

What are the possible drawbacks to using NFL snap counts as part of my fantasy football lineup strategy?

As FantasyPros recently noted, studying snap counts and the percentage of snaps played is one of the easiest ways that we can determine one of the most basic, but important questions for potential fantasy success: Is this player even on the field often enough to make a difference? That said, NFL snap counts only outline playing time, and being on the field is only the first step to fantasy relevance. It’s not the only step. Don’t emphasize snap counts over production.

The Snap Counts report and tool is invaluable in breaking down what’s happening behind the numbers.
