Fantasy Football Targets: Week 8 (2025)

2025/09/15 06:48:18

Another week of the 2025 NFL season is just about in the books. Here are the players you should be targeting in your fantasy football leagues, including targets in smaller leagues and deeper leagues, as well as players to avoid.

One change is the addition of league size and time frame. “League size” indicates the number of teams in your fantasy league where the player is likely available and it makes sense to pick them up. Anyone listed for a 12-team league should also be available in a 10-team league, but it might not make as much sense to add that player, given the roster size. If it makes sense to pick someone up in 10- and 12-team leagues, the player will be listed in both. “Time frame” indicates the length of time for which the player could be valuable, helping those looking for a short-term replacement or a player for the future.

Jump to a position group:

• Troy Franklin leads the Denver Broncos’ receiver room: Franklin might end up as the team’s top wide receiver over the rest of the season.

Key Takeaways

• Pay attention to league size when considering pickups – a player valuable in a 12-team league might be less impactful in a 10-team league.
• Consider the time frame of a player’s potential value: are you looking for a short-term fill-in or a long-term asset?
• Troy Franklin is emerging as a potential top receiver for the Denver Broncos.
