START

It hasn't been all jazzy for Ertz in the Eagles' high-powered offense, but that changes in Week 8. The team had the chance to use the bye week to find ways to involve him, and the matchup against Arizona is a good one. The Cardinals allow 69 yards per game to tight ends. Ertz should be able to post his best game.

In the past, it wasn't wise to start your quarterback against Seattle. It's different in 2014. Seattle ranks 15th against the pass and has allowed 12 touchdown tosses. Newton should have time to pick apart the Seahawks struggling secondary.

Orton has played admirably since taking over in Week 5. He's averaging 296.7 passing yards a game and has five touchdowns. His production should continue against the Jets' struggling defense. The Jets have allowed 26.4 points a game and a league-high 18 touchdown passes.

The rookie continues to see consistent targets from quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Landry has 14 receptions over his last three games and gets to face a Jaguars defense that ranks 30th against the pass. Landry is a sneaky fantasy start who could explode in Week 8.

SIT

Despite his capable PPR performance against Baltimore this year, don't expect a bounce-back game from his Week 7 dud. The Ravens allow 3.7 yards a carry. Only two running backs have scored on them (both were Cleveland Browns in Week 3). Proceed with caution.

Cutler has been better on the road, but this isn't the week to start him. The Bears are reeling, and the Patriots secondary is full of ballhawks. The Patriots allow a league-low 208 passing yards a game and have seven interceptions. It will be a long day for Cutler.

The Packers defense has its flaws but has been excellent against the pass, especially when it comes to wide receivers. Green Bay allows 11.4 catches a game to wideouts. The rookie has yet to make a big play and is coming off his worst game. Week 8 won't be better.
