What to know

  • SportsLine's computer model rates Jaguars TE Brenton Strange as TE7 for Week 8 despite being ranked TE20 on the season, citing the Colts' vulnerability to tight end scoring.
  • The model fades Titans RB Quinshon Judkins despite his 83.3 yards and 3 TDs over three games, due to Pittsburgh's elite run defense.
  • The SportsLine model has outperformed human experts consistently over multiple seasons and correctly identified future stars like Christian McCaffrey and A.J. Brown early.

“Over the course of a season, that could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home empty-handed.”

    Model fades Quinshon Judkins against Steelers despite recent form

    Despite averaging 83.3 total yards and 3 TDs over his last three games, the model rates Judkins outside the top 25 running backs for Week 8. The Steelers allow the seventh-fewest rushing yards and have not allowed a rushing TD in three weeks, holding Jonathan Taylor and Bucky Irving each to under 50 rushing yards. Judkins has averaged just 44.5 rushing yards in two career games against Pittsburgh.

    “Pittsburgh hasn't allowed a touchdown to a RB over the last three weeks, also holding Jonathan Taylor and Bucky Irving to under 50 rushing yards each over this stretch.”

  2. background

    Model projects Brenton Strange as TE7 despite TE20 season rank — The SportsLine model ranks Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange as the seventh-best tight end for Week 8, despite his season-long ranking of TE20. Strange has averaged 6.3 catches and 69 yards over his last three games, compared to 2.3 catches and 24 yards in his first three games. The Colts, whom Jacksonville faces, have allowed five touchdowns to tight ends over six games—the fourth-most in the NFL.

  3. background

    SportsLine releases Week 8 fantasy football rankings and projections — CBS Sports' SportsLine model publishes its Week 8 fantasy football rankings, simulating 10,000 NFL games to guide start-sit decisions. The rankings address injury concerns including Ja'Marr Chase (ankle), DJ Moore (shoulder), and George Pickens (shoulder/hamstring), and note defensive strengths—the Bills allowing the most fantasy points to receivers, the Seahawks the fewest.
