Best Matchups of Week 8: Wide Receiver, Julio Jones, Keenan Allen, Baltimore Ravens, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Calvin Johnson, Kansas City Chiefs, Michael Floyd

Oct 30, 2015 03:43 PM EDT

Julio Jones VS Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The Buccaneers have given up the 8th most fantasy points to wide receivers all season and Jones is looking for his first 100 yard game since week 3. Jones is averaging around 14 targets a game so he should have a big role against Tampa Bay. 

Keenan Allen at Baltimore Ravens: Allen is going up against one of the worst defensive backfields in the league. Baltimore has given up the second most points to wide receivers in the NFL and Allen has 62 catches in the first 7 games. If that's not enough to convince you this defense gave up 111 yards and a touchdown to Michael Crabtree and 227 yards and 2 touchdowns to AJ Green.

Calvin Johnson at Kansas City Chiefs: Johnson is looking like he did back in his prime and has scored touchdowns in back to back games. This matchup should help him keep this streak going as Kansas City has given up the most fantasy points to wide receivers in the NFL. Johnson should have no trouble putting up points this week.

Michael Floyd at Cleveland Browns: This one is a bit of a sleeper pick. Floyd may be the second option on game day due to John Browns lingering injuries so he may see double the targets. Floyd already has incredible production on around 4 targets a game. He also has back to back scoring games and will likely see the softer coverage as Larry Fitzgerald should be Joe Haden's main priority. If Brown is out Floyd is a must start.
