NFL Week 8 Starts and Sits by Logan Lepiscopo

NFL Week 8 Starts and Sits

By: Logan Lepiscopo

After a week off of starts and sits I am back for week eight giving the best advice possible with bye weeks really getting into the full swing of things. This week is tough with the Chargers and Chiefs being on a bye week, but I believe that week seven has hit everyone harder with the Eagles, Bills, Vikings, and Rams. This week is going to be a little different than prior weeks. Instead of giving one start and sit for each position with reasoning, this week I will give my top five starts and sits for each position.
