Sleepers and streamers for wide receivers are here for Week 8. Last week, I hit at a 75% rate. Marvin Mims had 86 yards on six receptions and was key in helping the Denver Broncos score 33 points in the fourth quarter. He finished as the WR19. As for Jordan Whittington, he is banished to the shadow realm. With no Puka Nacua, I thought he would have a decent game. That decent game was two receptions for nine yards. He finished as the WR83.
For our streamers, both were such terrific starts. Chris Olave had the best game of his NFL career. He finished with five receptions for 98 yards and two touchdowns. That was good to finish as the WR5. Keenan Allen has shown that age is just a number. He had 11 receptions on 14 targets, 119 yards, and a touchdown. Allen ended up finishing as the WR3.

Wide Receiver Sleepers
Elic Ayomanor @ Indianapolis Colts
The Tennessee Titans are one of the worst teams in football, and the Indianapolis Colts are one of the best. When the two play in Week 8, it will most likely be a one-sided game, but the Titans will need to pass a lot to have a chance. Elic Ayomanor has not had a decent game since Week 3. He had consecutive decent games at the start of this season, but has not done much since then. The past two weeks, Ayomanor has finished as the WR57 and the WR64. I think he is due for a good game in Week 8. The Titans played very hard against the New England Patriots before the game got away from them. Give me Elic Ayomanor to find the endzone and have double-digit points in Week 8.
Hollywood Brown vs Washington Commanders
The Kansas City Chiefs are back to being themselves. They blew out the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. Hollywood Brown has had three touchdowns in the past two weeks combined. He had just 14 yards and a touchdown last week, but the game was never close. When the Washington Commanders come to town in Week 8, I think the game will be much closer. Brown will find the endzone once again. With Rashee Rice back, it is fewer eyes on Brown and the trickery he does on that offense.

Wide Receiver Streamers
Devonta Smith vs. New York Giants
Devonta Smith had the best game of his NFL career in Week 7. He had nine receptions, 183 yards, and one touchdown. That was good to be the WR2 and 37.30 fantasy points! Now, he faces the New York Giants. The Eagles lost in an embarrassing fashion to the Giants a few weeks ago. I believe the Eagles will be out with a vengeance and have the foot on the gas from the start. Give me Smith to have another big game in Week 8.
DJ Moore @ Baltimore Ravens
DJ Moore has been a letdown this season. His best game has been WR29, and that came in Week 3. He is currently the WR49 in total points, but has the perfect matchup to get it going this week. The Baltimore Ravens are allowing 39 fantasy PPG to the position, which is the fifth most. Lamar Jackson is set to be back, too. This should be a high-scoring affair. Give me Moore to have his best game of the season.
