Watch Out for These Fantasy Football Traps in Week 8

Fantasy football can be exciting, but it can also be frustrating when your star players don't deliver. Let's look at six players who might let you down in Week 8. Geno Smith has been a solid quarterback this season, ranking as the QB7. He's had some great games, but his performance drops against tough defenses. This week, he's facing the Buffalo Bills, who are good at stopping quarterbacks. Plus, Smith might be without his top receiver, DK Metcalf. Ezekiel Elliott has had ups and downs this season. He struggled against the Bills last week, which wasn't expected. This week, he's up against the Lions, who are tough on running backs. They've kept many backs under 16 fantasy points, so Elliott might not shine.

Alexander Mattison has been a reliable running back for the Vikings. But he's facing the Chiefs this week, who have one of the best defenses in the league. They've kept running backs to low fantasy points, so Mattison might not perform well. Terry McLaurin has been having a great season. But he's facing the Bears this week, who are tough on wide receivers. They've kept many receivers to under 22 fantasy points, so McLaurin might not score as high as usual. DJ Moore has been doing well with Andy Dalton as quarterback. But he's had some rough games lately, with fewer targets. He's facing the Broncos this week, who are good at stopping receivers. So, Moore might not be your best choice. Travis Kelce has been a fantastic tight end, but he's had some off games. He's facing the Raiders this week, who are tough on tight ends. So, Kelce might not score as high as you hope.
