Malik Willis has emerged as a dynamic fantasy option ahead of Green Bay's Week 8 meeting with New England. The Packers quarterback produced 26.02 points against the Jets, throwing two touchdown passes to Caleb Douglas while adding a rushing score. Willis has now recorded a rushing touchdown in consecutive contests and amassed 111 yards on the ground over his last two outings.
Several signal-callers will be unavailable due to byes. Brock Purdy, Tyler Shough, C.J. Stroud and J.J. McCarthy sit out Week 8, while Aaron Rodgers and Cam Ward will be idle in Week 9.
Michael Penix Jr. offers another streaming possibility for Atlanta's matchup with Tampa Bay. The Falcons rookie has thrown three touchdown passes in back-to-back games while surpassing 20 points each time, most recently posting 20.42 points against the 49ers.
At running back, Jonah Coleman returned from injured reserve for the Cardinals and immediately matched the combined touches of J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey, gaining 69 yards on 11 carries for 8.9 points. Dylan Sampson also came back from a five-game absence for the Browns, collecting 77 yards on nine touches for 10.7 points.
Hunter Henry continues his consistent production at tight end, recording double-digit fantasy points in four straight games. His 7-catch, 71-yard performance last Thursday yielded 14.1 points, and only eight tight ends have scored more this season.
