Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 8
Welcome to the midway point of the 2024 NFL season which is flying by. Kicking things off in Week 8 is an NFC showdown between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 8 has all the insight you’ll need to win your fantasy football matchups and bets.
The Vikings are coming off their first loss of the season. They won’t have much time to prepare traveling to Los Angeles on short rest. However, LA’s struggles on both sides of the ball make a good rebound spot.
Meanwhile, the Rams just got their second win of the season and are 2-1 at home. Additionally, key reinforcements will give Sean McVay and his staff a better shot at hanging around in a game where they are home dogs.
Minnesota is a 3-point favorite and the total has risen 1.5 points up to 48.
Matchup
| TEAM | OFFENSE | PASS | RUSH | YDS/PLAY | POINTS |
| Minnesota Vikings | 24 | 20 | 21 | 10 | 11 |
| Los Angeles Rams | 26 | 21 | 29 | 20 | 25 |
Despite the records, these teams are similar offensively. The biggest difference is in scoring efficiency. Minnesota scores 23.6 points per contest. Conversely, the Rams only score 19.
Defensively, the Vikings allow 340.3 yards per game compared to LA’s 364.3. The Vikings are worse against the pass and the Rams allow 151.7 on the ground- third-worst in the league.
Cooper Kupp is expected to return, which will boost LA’s middling passing attack. But trade rumors persist. Fantasy managers are concerned with usage and potential.
For Kevin O’Connell and Brian Flores, the Vikings will try to keep the Rams guessing with stunts and pressure. Reaching a multiple-possession lead would lead to a favorable game script to run the ball.

Waiver Wire: Week 8
We’ve officially reached the halfway point of the 2024 season. The campaign is flying by despite all the turmoil football fans have faced. Now is the time to make the playoff push. And knowing who the top Waiver Wire: Week 8 targets are is a good way to start the second half.
Along with knowing who to pick up, FullTime Fantasy‘s Matchup Analyzer Tool will help you get the most out of your lineup.
Here are the low-rostered players you should consider adding before Week 8.
Week 8 BYES: NONE
Alexander Mattison (RB) Las Vegas Raiders – Even with Zamir White back in the fold, Mattison dominated playing time and opportunities again in Week 7. Against the Rams, Mattison turned 26 touches into 15.3 fantasy points. Meanwhile, White only played 11 snaps. This is Mattison’s backfield and he should be viewed as a starter with top-waiver priority.
Romeo Doubs (WR) Green Bay Packers – Doubs’ 80.1% snap…

Geno Smith OVER 24.5 Pass Completions (+100)
The Seattle Seahawks’ defense has been struggling, and this Sunday they’ll try to contain an Atlanta Falcons offense that’s been on fire, scoring 74 points in the last two games. Spoiler: I don’t expect Seattle to pull it off, which means Geno Smith will be airing it out to keep the Seahawks in the game.
Falcons’ opponents have completed 26+ passes in three of their last four games, and Atlanta’s defensive strategy seems to be: bend, don’t break. They play zone coverage at the third-highest rate in the league, allowing the highest completion percentage, but also limiting teams to the fifth-lowest yards per attempt and sixth-lowest air yards per attempt.
On top of that, Atlanta’s pass rush is almost non-existent, generating pressure at the second-lowest rate in the NFL (14%), which means Geno Smith should have plenty of time to sit back and dink-and-dunk his way down the field.
Smith, by the way, leads the NFL in pass attempts and completions, even though he ranks 27th in average depth of target among starting QBs. He’s more than happy to chip away methodically, and it’s working—he’s topped this completion mark in five straight games, averaging 31 per game during that stretch.
At even money, I’m all in on Geno topping this number again.
Derrick Henry…

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 7
Only in a season as cruel as 2024 would we have to sit through…Bo Nix vs. Spencer Rattler. No, seriously. We have to pay for it and everything. Lamentably, duty calls and even bad football is still football. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 7 breaks down all the fantasy-relevant players in this Denver Broncos at New Orleans Saints matchup.
Losers of four straight, the New Orleans Saints are reeling. The team that started 2-0 and outscored their opponents 91-29 is barely represented on the field in Week 7. The Saints are missing their quarterback, both wideouts and have other injury concerns.
Meanwhile, the Broncos seem fortunate to be 3-3 with their offensive struggles. Denver started 0-2 before rattling off three straight wins against the Buccaneers, Jets, and Raiders. However, things fell back to earth last week with a poor showing against the Chargers.
Unsurprisingly, the Saints opened as 4-point favorites. However, we’ve seen a massive shift as the Broncos are now 2.5-point favorites.
The opening line has also seen a precipitous dip, falling a full four points from his opening total of 41.5 points.
Matchup
| TEAM | OFFENSE | PASS | RUSH | YDS/PLAY | POINTS |
| Denver Broncos | 29 | 26 | 18 | 28 | 22 |
| New Orleans Saints | 18 | 17 | 12 | 18 | 4 |
Seeing the Saints rank competently in offense is a bit of a surprise. However, most of that production came in the season’s first two weeks when the Saints were rolling. Since then, injuries and fading quarterback play have tanked the Saints’ attack.
Additionally, the New Orleans defense has struggled. The Saints have lost four straight games to drop to 2-4. And the injury woes that decimated the Saints’ offense have also taken a toll on the defense. New Orleans ranks 30th against the pass and next to last in surrendering yards per play.
Conversely, the Denver offense has been one of the worst units in football all season. This was not expected starting a rookie quarterback who rarely pushed the ball downfield in college. Only four teams are averaging fewer yards per play than Sean Payton’s Broncos.
Things have been much better for Denver on the other side of the ball. The Broncos’ defense ranks sixth overall and versus the pass. This is a formidable unit that will make it hard for the Saints to mount much offense in Spencer Rattler’s second start in four days.
Denver Offense …
