During Week 8 of the 2024 NFL regular season, several players made a comeback from multigame injuries, which is promising news as some fantasy football stars are expected to rebound from a string of lackluster performances.
The Cleveland Browns underwent a quarterback change, and their offense has shown significant improvement, scoring a season-high 29 points against the Baltimore Ravens after struggling to surpass 18 points in the first seven games. Browns receivers are now regaining their fantasy football value as QB Jameis Winston has breathed life into the offense in place of the injured QB Deshaun Watson.
In other news, Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love suffered a groin injury. While initial reports suggest it may not be a long-term issue, it’s a development that’s being monitored closely, particularly in terms of its impact on wide receiver performance. With QB Malik Willis stepping in, the Packers’ passing game appears less favorable for Green Bay receivers from a fantasy perspective.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers‘ passing offense also is under scrutiny with WR Chris Godwin (leg) out for the season and WR Mike Evans (hamstring) sidelined for at least two more games. This will be an offense in flux for another game or two.
As we approach Week 9, the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers are on their bye week, leaving the remaining 30 NFL teams ready for action.
