What to watch

Lamar Jackson set to return in Week 8 was the headline on Yahoo's league overview — he is the Truthers' superflex starter this week.

Byes are shaping benches everywhere: with NO, NYG, SF and HOU off, starters are thin and IR/bench stashes are full — see each team tab for who is sitting.

Injury notes at check time: Emeka Egbuka (O, IR) for Saquonda, Brian Robinson Jr. (O, IR) for Kelvin's, De'Von Achane on IR for I get CEH, and Davante Adams on IR for The Masked Offender.

Because this is a total-points league, there is no single opponent each week — every Week 8 point stacks into the season totals above.
