Game environment is the foundational starting point in making fantasy football lineup decisions. As such, I’m going to break down each game on the slate into three categories: Binge, Stream and Skip.
Games you want to “binge” are like the show you can’t miss; you’re watching as soon as it goes live and might just crush all the episodes in one weekend. These are the start-all-your-guys fantasy games and ones with season-defining storylines.
Games you want to “stream” are like the shows you certainly watch start to finish, but perhaps you’re finishing it over time instead of one shot. While these games might not feature a ton of “must-starts,” we can pick and choose our spots, and the teams are likely to matter in the NFL playoff picture.
Lastly, the games you want to “skip” are like the shows you’re leaning toward passing on, but you might catch an episode here and there (or might stick to reading recaps online to stay up with the culture). There will be a non-obvious player or two who stands out in these games, but overall, they aren’t the best environment for fantasy football.
Let’s dive into my Week 8 Fantasy Football Viewer’s Guide.

Chicago Bears at Washington Commanders
It’s downright impossible to analyze this game without knowing if Jayden Daniels will suit up for the Washington Commanders. It sounds like he will attempt to practice Friday and could play despite suffering a rib injury in Week 7.

Not to mention, it’s gone a little under-discussed how well Marcus Mariota played in relief duty last week. Yes, it was against the hapless Panthers but Mariota and the Commanders dog-walked that defense all afternoon. The veteran starter’s 132.8 passer rating was the eighth-best mark of his career…
