Week 8 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Advice on Fantasy Football Stars to Play or Bench

Sometimes, fantasy football isn't just about the talent level of the players on your team. It's also about who your players are going up against in a given week.

For example, this season, it's been a good decision to start players facing the Miami Dolphins or Cincinnati Bengals, the only two winless teams in the NFL. On the other end, it's typically not wise to start players facing the New England Patriots, who are 7-0 and have allowed only 48 total points this season.

Making these right decisions can help fantasy football owners have successful seasons, which is especially crucial as we get deeper into the year.
