Welcome to the toughest stretch of fantasy football in 2018.
With NFL Week 8 here, one look at the hottest names in fantasy football says it all. Outside of the Kansas City Chiefs, someone like Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has been on fire, scoring 43.46, 28.34 and 33.42 points over his last three outings.
And the trick there is knowing when to hop off the train before it derails. Like any fantasy player, a combination of matchup and countless other factors go into the decision. Multiply that by all the starters in the league with defenses fully adjusted to offenses thanks to six or more games on film and, yes, fantasy is intimidating this time of year.
