In Week 7, Chase Edmonds filled in for an injured David Johnson and dropped 140 yards and three touchdowns on the New York Giants. Given Kerryon Johnson's injury, we expected the same for Ty Johnson against the Giants in Week 8. Instead, he put up just 38 yards and was out-touched by Tra Carson, a practice-squad signee.
Humbled by that misread, we're looking forward to Week 9. With one game left in Week 8, here's an early look at next week's flex-ranking projections and waiver-wire targets. The projections are based on non-point-per-reception and four-point-per-passing-touchdown leagues and our waiver-wire targets are owned in under 33 percent of Yahoo fantasy leagues.
