NFL Nation reporters choose a player from each team and assess whether they're buying or selling his fantasy value headed into Week 8.
NFC EAST
Dallas Cowboys
Buy: Wide receiver Dez Bryant
When Bryant returned from surgery on a broken foot a year ago, he wasn't the same player. He could not practice the way he needs to practice to be ready for games. Returning this year from a tibial plateau fracture in his right leg after a three-game absence, Bryant has had five practices the past two weeks, plus time off with the bye, to get ready to play against Philadelphia in Week 8. In nine games against the Eagles, he has eight touchdowns, his most against any NFC East foe. He had his lone 100-yard game last season against Philadelphia. In a way, this is another season opener for Bryant. -- Todd Archer
New York Giants
Sell: Running back Rashad Jennings
Jennings had 25 yards on 13 carries Sunday against the Rams. That's a putrid 1.9 yards per carry, and he's averaging a scary 2.7 YPC this season. The Giants haven't been able to run the ball effectively against any good rushing defense, so Jennings will remain an unstartable option moving forward, even if he did sneak a rushing touchdown this week. The entire Giants backfield has "DO NOT PLAY" written all over it at this point, especially with the Eagles and Bengals on deck after the bye. -- Jordan Raanan
Philadelphia Eagles
Buy: Wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham
The former second-round pick caught his first touchdown of the season against the Vikings. He indicated earlier in the week that he would be used more in the red zone moving forward, and that proved true Sunday. Green-Beckham finished with just two catches for 8 yards -- he probably can't be relied on every week, from a fantasy perspective -- but there's a good chance quarterback Carson Wentz will look his way around the goal line plenty in the weeks to come. -- Tim McManus
Washington Redskins
Sell: Running back Matt Jones
It's not just that his production was down Sunday; he rushed for only 27 yards on 10 carries. The fact that he lost one fumble inside the 3-yard line and took his eyes off another exchange that resulted in a fumble led coach Jay Gruden to say there's a chance that Jones won't get as many carries as he did in some earlier games. Gruden still wants to rotate his backs and said of Jones, "We haven't given up on Matt, but we have to make sure he protects the dang football." Rookie Rob Kelley could benefit with more carries (he had four Sunday). Gruden does not want to give Chris Thompson more touches than he had Sunday -- 12 runs and seven catches -- but it could be that he stays around those numbers. Regardless, this likely means fewer carries for Jones. -- John Keim
NFC NORTH
Chicago Bears
Buy: Quarterback Jay Cutler
The Bears' offense is still average with Cutler, but expect the veteran quarterback, who missed the past five games because of ligament damage and bruising in his right thumb, to open it more than Brian Hoyer, who underwent surgery to fix a fractured left forearm on Sunday. Don't be surprised if Alshon Jeffery has his most productive game in weeks against the Vikings on Monday. -- Jeff Dickerson
Detroit Lions
Buy: Wide receiver Golden Tate
The receiver has fully rebounded from the slow start to his season, gaining 258 yards receiving the past two weeks and being used in a variety of ways. He's still a smart PPR play as well, as Detroit is employing him on short, intermediate and shovel routes and allowing him to make defenders miss. If you dropped him and he's still available, snag him again. He's working his way back into your every-week lineup at this point. One thing to be wary of, though: Whenever Theo Riddick comes back, he could end up snagging some of the targets Tate has been getting. -- Michael Rothstein
Green Bay Packers
Buy: Wide receiver/running back Ty Montgomery
Buy Montgomery, especially given that ESPN's fantasy department has granted the second-year receiver running back eligibility. Effective immediately, he can be used as a receiver or a running back. This is after he carried nine times for 60 yards in Thursday's win against the Bears. He also caught 10 passes for the second straight game. Of his past 20 receptions, 13 have come with him lined up in the backfield. The Packers don't have Eddie Lacy and probably won't have James Starks this week at Atlanta, so expect Montgomery to continue in a similar role. -- Rob Demovsky
Minnesota Vikings
Sell: Running back Jerick McKinnon
The Vikings started the game with Matt Asiata on Sunday against the Eagles, and McKinnon, who has dealt with foot problems this season, got his foot caught under a defender on a 9-yard run in the second quarter. The Vikings aren't running the ball consistently enough to expect big numbers out of McKinnon right now, and they're dividing the role between him and Asiata enough that it's tough to count on either one. -- Ben Goessling
NFC SOUTH
Atlanta Falcons
Sell: Running back Tevin Coleman
The running back looked explosive against the Chargers and had a 30-yard touchdown sprint, but Coleman is unlikely to play against the Packers on Sunday due to a hamstring strain, according to ESPN Insider Adam Schefter. As such, there's no reason to have him in your fantasy lineup. Playing without Coleman surely will increase the workload for Devonta Freeman, who is eighth in the league in rushing, with 508 yards on 105 carries. -- Vaughn McClure
Carolina Panthers
Buy: Running back Jonathan Stewart
If you gave up on Stewart while he was out with a hamstring injury, it's time to pick him up again. Stewart had 85 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 19 carries when Carolina last played at New Orleans, despite the Panthers' being in catchup mode with a 21-0 deficit. He faces a much tougher defense Sunday in Arizona, but the Cardinals are giving up 3.8 yards per carry and have surrendered six rushing touchdowns. In the NFC Championship Game against this defense, Stewart had 83 yards on 19 carries. -- David Newton
New Orleans Saints
Buy: Running back Mark Ingram
Ingram has been pretty ordinary for a top-21 fantasy pick, which is probably frustrating his fantasy owners. But it's worth stressing that he is on pace for 1,300 yards from scrimmage and eight touchdowns, even without any breakout games yet. Unfortunately, Ingram's 60-yard rushing games will be pretty much the norm, as New Orleans doesn't run the ball that much. Still, he remains the Saints' every-down back who always sprinkles in a handful of catches and will likely have a couple 100-yard games and multi-touchdown games before the season is over. That probably won't happen against Seattle this week, but an enticing matchup at San Francisco looms in Week 9. -- Mike Triplett
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Buy: Running back Jacquizz Rodgers
Pick up Rodgers if you haven't done so already. He had 154 rushing yards in the win over the 49ers, his second straight 100-yard game. Doug Martin is not expected to be back any time soon, and the Raiders, Tampa Bay's week 8 opponent, are giving up the third-most rushing yards in the league (132.2 yards per game). -- Jenna Laine
NFC WEST
Arizona Cardinals
Sell: Wide receiver Michael Floyd
There's definitely something off with the Cardinals' No. 2 wide receiver. Coach Bruce Arians thinks Floyd is pressing because it's a contract year and he had the potential to cash in with a massive contract. Floyd's four drops tie for the second-most of his career and are one shy of his career high -- and he has nine games to go. His roller-coaster season continued Sunday night, when after making maybe the most important catch of his season to move the Cardinals deep into Seahawks territory in overtime, he dropped an easy catch three plays later that would've put Arizona around the Seahawks' 15-yard line. -- Josh Weinfuss
Los Angeles Rams
Sell: Running back Todd Gurley
At some point, you have to just accept the fact that Gurley is not going be a dominant fantasy player. Now might be that time. He rushed for 57 yards on 15 carries in Sunday's loss to the Giants in London and has now failed to reach 100 yards in 14 of his past 15 games. Gurley added six catches for 35 yards, and that might be the new norm: a handful of receptions, 80 to 110 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown or two. That is good, but it isn't on par with the lofty expectations Gurley carried into the season. -- Alden Gonzalez
San Francisco 49ers
Sell: Tight end Vance McDonald
McDonald looked like he might be on his way to a breakthrough the first couple weeks, as he had good rapport with quarterback Blaine Gabbert and scored a touchdown in each of the first two games. Then he suffered a hip injury, and Gabbert was sent to the bench in favor of Colin Kaepernick. Since McDonald returned the past two weeks, he has three catches for 49 yards and hasn't been able to find the end zone. He was already a fringe fantasy player at best, but it's safe to cut bait now, if you were still hoping he was going to have that breakout season. -- Nick Wagoner
Seattle Seahawks
Buy: Quarterback Russell Wilson
This might seem crazy after the Seahawks' offense managed just two field goals in 13 offensive possessions Sunday night, but if you have an owner in your league who is frustrated with Wilson, this is a good time to buy low. Knee and ankle injuries from the first three weeks of the season have slowed him down. But coach Pete Carroll said Wilson has not had a setback and is continuing to improve. "He got out of this game maybe for the first time. He felt nothing of carryover on his ankle or his knee, which is really good," Carroll said. Wilson is always better in the second half of the season, and in Week 8, he'll be up against a Saints defense that is allowing a league-high 32.5 points per game. -- Sheil Kapadia
AFC EAST
Buffalo Bills
Sell: Tight end Charles Clay
There was some thought that Clay's production could rise Sunday, when LeSean McCoy was hobbled by a hamstring injury and the Bills were without top receivers Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods. That never happened. Clay was targeted five times but finished with two catches for 29 yards. He has not scored a touchdown this season, and the arrow isn't pointing up for him, with the Patriots and Seahawks next on the schedule. -- Mike Rodak
Miami Dolphins
Buy: Running back Jay Ajayi
How can you not buy the fourth running back in the Super Bowl era to post back-to-back 200-yard games? Ajayi is the hottest player in the NFL, and he says he has caught his stride. He no longer has to worry about splitting carries with veteran Arian Foster, who announced his retirement Monday. A lot of credit goes to Miami's offensive line, which is finally healthy. The only downside for Ajayi owners: The Dolphins are on a bye in Week 8. -- James Walker
New England Patriots
Buy: Running back LeGarrette Blount
It won't always be the level of production in Sunday's win over the Steelers -- 127 yards, 24 carries, two touchdowns -- but the Patriots' running back picture is clearer than it has been in some time. Blount is the No. 1 power back, as there is no one else at his level with whom to share the football when it's time to grind out tough yards. Add that Blount feels good physically -- his previously injured hip isn't an issue -- and this is a good situation for fantasy owners. Yes, "passing back" James White will still be featured at times, but Blount should be a significant part of the mix on a weekly basis. -- Mike Reiss
New York Jets
Buy: Running back Matt Forte
Forte is back on track after a three-week slump, and he'll face one of the softest run defenses in the league in Week 8. The Browns have allowed seven rushing touchdowns, 140 yards per game (31st) and 4.7 yards per carry (29th). Forte could have a huge game in Cleveland. -- Rich Cimini
AFC NORTH
Baltimore Ravens
Buy: Running back Terrance West
There's going to be a lot of buzz about whether the Ravens need to get rookie Kenneth Dixon more involved, after they gained a franchise-worst 6 rushing yards Sunday against the Jets. But West was dealing with a minor ankle injury and a shuffled offensive line. After the bye, he should look more like the back who averaged 98.3 yards rushing his previous three games. West faces the Steelers, who just gave up 127 rushing yards rushing to LeGarrette Blount, in Week 9, followed by the Browns, the second-worst run defense in the NFL, in Week 10. -- Jamison Hensley
Cincinnati Bengals
Buy: Wide receiver Brandon LaFell
LaFell has four touchdowns in three games. If Josh Norman doesn't play for the Redskins this week, they're going to have a hard time containing both A.J. Green and LaFell. LaFell seems to be picking up stride in the Bengals' offense, and he's definitely worth an add going forward. -- Katherine Terrell
Cleveland Browns
Buy: Wide receiver Brandon Marshall
Yes, I know Marshall plays for the Jets -- not the Browns. But with Browns-slayer Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback and the Browns giving up 30 points per game, Marshall is the best play on the field for Sunday's game. There is no gentle way to put this: When it comes to the Browns and fantasy, run -- quickly. The winless team from Cleveland simply has too much upheaval at quarterback to rely on any player for fantasy production. The best option is to look to the opposing team. -- Pat McManamon
Pittsburgh Steelers
Sell: Wide receiver Eli Rogers
The Steelers are using running back Le'Veon Bell so much in the passing game that Rogers' role has been diminished since his return from a turf toe injury. His future production is uncertain after he logged a DNP on offense against New England. Sammie Coates is flirting with "sell" status after two straight one-catch games while dealing with an injured finger, but he's still a primary option once quarterback Ben Roethlisberger returns. Right now, Bell and Antonio Brown are the only sure bets in this offense. -- Jeremy Fowler
AFC SOUTH
Houston Texans
Sell: Quarterback Brock Osweiler
It has now been seven games, and Osweiler has not shown that he can be trusted to be a starting fantasy quarterback. Though the Texans were facing a tough Denver defense, Osweiler averaged less than 3.2 yards per attempt, which is the lowest for the quarterback in a game this season, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Entering the game, the lowest average in a game was 3.7 by Rams quarterback Case Keenum in Week 1. Osweiler finished 22 of 41 passing for 131 yards and was wildly inaccurate all night. Until he strings together multiple good games, stay away from starting Osweiler. -- Sarah Barshop
Indianapolis Colts
Buy: Tight end Jack Doyle
On Sunday against the Titans, Doyle recorded nine receptions on 10 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown while playing the No. 1 tight end role for the first time in his NFL career in place of the injured Dwayne Allen. Allen is expected to miss Sunday's game against Kansas City while dealing with an ankle injury, which means Doyle will continue to be featured in the offense. What makes Doyle's season even more impressive is that his 29 receptions have come on only 33 targets. -- Mike Wells
Jacksonville Jaguars
Buy: Wide receiver Marqise Lee
Lee has been the offense's best and most consistent player this season, and he's coming off the most productive game of his career: seven catches for 107 yards in a loss to Oakland. He leads the Jaguars in receptions (29) and receiving yards (337). He hasn't found the end zone yet, but that's only a matter of time because he's the only Jaguars receiver getting open consistently. Allen Robinson is struggling to adjust to double teams and how physical defensive backs are being with him, while Allen Hurns and Julius Thomas are sporadic parts of the offense. Lee is quickly becoming quarterback Blake Bortles' go-to receiver. -- Mike DiRocco
Tennessee Titans
Sell: Tight end Delanie Walker
This shouldn't be a permanent sell, but maybe for Thursday night against the Jaguars. Walker has a bruised chest after a hit from Colts linebacker Josh McNary that drew an unnecessary roughness call. The Jaguars have given up a league-low 4.74 yards per attempt on throws aimed for tight ends. -- Paul Kuharsky
AFC WEST
Denver Broncos
Buy: Running back Devontae Booker
Monday night was just a glimpse, but Broncos coach Gary Kubiak had promised that the rookie was going to get the ball more because he "deserved'' it. Booker showed that to be the case against the Texans. In the Broncos' second touchdown drive of the night, Booker had carries of 8, 12 and 10 yards. He finished the game with 83 yards on 17 carries. C.J. Anderson will lose some carries to Booker, but the Broncos believe a pumped-up run game would be their offense on the field for more plays overall. -- Jeff Legwold
Kansas City Chiefs
Buy: Tight end Travis Kelce
No receiver in the Kansas City offense is going to have big numbers every week. That isn't how the Chiefs' passing game works. But usually Kelce will be targeted more than three times and will have more than two catches for 24 yards, as he did Sunday against the Saints. The Chiefs' offense works best when Kelce is heavily involved, and look for Alex Smith to try to make that happen against the Colts in Week 8. -- Adam Teicher
Oakland Raiders
Buy: Running back Latavius Murray
Yes, I know I predicted Friday that Murray would not be a big fantasy player in his first game back after missing the previous two weeks with turf toe. And yet ... Murray did not start, but he had two rushing touchdowns among his 59 rushing yards and averaged just 3.3 yards per carry. Why buy now? Because as long as he is healthy, his YPC average will go up, and even if he's nicked up, he's going to get the ball in goal-line situations. -- Paul Gutierrez
San Diego Chargers
Buy: Wide receiver Tyrell Williams
The second-year pro was a frequent target of quarterback Philip Rivers against the Falcons, and he finished with seven catches for 140 yards on 10 targets. Williams is averaging a team-leading 17.0 yards per catch and has developed into San Diego's top vertical threat. He should continue to see consistent touches in San Diego's pass-first offense. -- Eric D. Williams
