Fantasy Football Week 8 Rankings: Targets for This Week's Injured Stars

For Week 8, fantasy owners must consider contingency plans at all the offensive spots in starting lineups.

The Atlanta Falcons have prepared quarterback Matt Schaub to start in Sunday's game in place of Matt Ryan, who suffered an ankle injury last week. Miraculously, Patrick Mahomes returned to practice, but he's not going to play Sunday.

If the Arizona Cardinals tricked you into starting running back David Johnson last week, don't take another chance on the injured tailback. Managers shouldn't plug him into lineups until he goes through a full practice, which didn't happen over the last few days.
