Week 8 is here and we\u2019ve made it through bye-mageddon. Each week this column will analyze a player at each position rostered in 50 percent of Yahoo leagues or less. This group of players is basically a <\/span>dream<\/span> stream team. For reference, the threshold used for wins and losses in this article will be if the quarterbacks can score at least 17 points, if the tight ends can score at least eight PPR points, and if the rest can score at least 10 PPR points. Here is the NFL Week 8 stream team.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Week 8 Stream Team<\/b><\/h3>\n

          Quarterback \u2013 Daniel Jones (NYG – 28%) @ KC<\/b><\/h3>\n

          Daniel Jones has had a rough go of things lately. After a hot start in which he scored more than 21 fantasy points in three of four games, he has averaged less than 10 fantasy points per game over his last three games. Some of that was due to injury. Jones had a decent game this past week though against a tough Carolina Panthers<\/a> defense. The most encouraging part was that he had eight carries. The rushing aspect of his game is a key element to what makes him a good quarterback for fantasy football purposes. <\/span><\/p>\n

          This week he gets a juicy matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>. The Chiefs defense is not strong at all, especially against opposing quarterbacks. They have allowed the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks so far this year. This game also has a nice combined total (currently 52 points). The New York Giants<\/a> are also 10-point underdogs right now which should keep the game script in Jones\u2019 favor to have to continue to throw early and often. Jones should also get some weapons back this week as well. Everything is set up to allow Jones to be one of the best Week 8 stream team options.<\/span><\/p>\n
