Welcome to the Week 8 Fantasy Football Cheat Sheets. Here, you'll find Dave Richard's start and sit ratings for every game on the schedule, along with links to every piece of Fantasy advice we produce for Week 8, including:

  • Week 8 Rankings
  • Week 8 Starts, Sits, Sleepers, and Risks
  • Week 8 Preview: Experts tackle the biggest questions
  • Week 8 Trade Values Chart
  • Week 8 Waiver Wire
  • Week 8 Cut List
  • Week 8 Believe it or Not

The Lineup Cheat Sheet combines Fantasy analysis and game-flow predictions with a confidence scale to give you a definitive answer on who to start in your leagues.

The higher the number next to a player's name, the more confident you should be to start him. The numbers are not a projection, just a confidence score to help you pick who to start. If a player isn't listed, don't start him.

To find a specific player, use your search function — CTRL-F on PCs and Command-F on Macs. If neither of those are options, or if you're on a mobile device, you can scroll by game.

If you're still unsure, just send a note on Twitter (@daverichard) and I'll give it a look, time permitting.
