Start 'Em WR: Week 8 Fantasy Football Sleepers and Strong Plays

Michael Wilson, Cardinals at Cowboys

Keenan Allen, Colts at Jaguars

Ryan Flournoy, Cowboys vs. Cardinals

Michael Wilson's relatively quiet performance after the Marvin Harrison trade should come to an end this week against the Cowboys, one of the easiest fantasy doormat defenses for wide receivers.

The Colts are basically calling it a season, selling off their assets. Josh Downs may become their next one, even before the weekend. Keenan Allen should earn plenty of targets from Daniel Jones in game scripts that favor passing against the heavily favored Jaguars. Feel free to apply the typical PPR boost to Allen's outlook in those formats.

The Cowboys are making more room for Ryan Flournoy as the entrenched No. 3 in the passing attack; against a Cardinals defense that ranks among the friendliest to wideouts. He should make the most of his output even if he sits near his month-long averages of 4.5 catches and 5.5 targets. After all, Arizona allows defenses to challenge them deep with the second-highest average of 8.49 yards per attempt against .
