Fantasy Football: 5 Players Ready For A Big Week 8
By Steve Rudden
4. Michael Crabtree
Michael Crabtree has been a scoring machine in fantasy this season, well except for Week 6. He’s been fortunate to be on a team with Derek Carr throwing him the ball and Amari Cooper as the other receiver on the Raiders.
Crabtree has always been a great athlete going back to his time at Texas Tech. However, he dealt with injuries and a lack of supporting cast in San Francisco. Now that the Raiders have one of the most talented offenses in the league, Crabtree is finally living up his potential. That potential made him the 10th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.
He’s projected to get around 10 points this upcoming week, which is about his season average, but I expect him to have a monster game against Tampa Bay. Look for him to get 10 receptions for 120 yards and a touchdown.
