It's the eighth week of the 2016 fantasy football season, and that means a couple of things. First, the fantasy regular season is entering the second half. That means that every week's matchups take on added importance -- especially for fantasy squads desperately clinging to hopes of making the playoffs. Second, with six teams on a bye this week and injuries mounting, many fantasy teams will be going deeper into the well than at any time this season. I'll bet a few weeks ago not many fantasy owners thought they would be counting on Buffalo Bills running back Mike Gillislee or Green Bay Packers wide receiver Ty Montgomery in Week 8. Or is it Green Bay Packers running back Ty Montgomery? This season has been very confusing.

Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Gary Davenport, Todd Latzke and Walton Spurlin will break down their Studs and Duds for the upcoming week and take a look at all Week 8's matchups, from the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans on Thursday to the Cincinnati Bengals and Washington Redskins in London and the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears on Monday night.

Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: Week 7 Preview

We've reached the halfway point of the 2016 fantasy football regular season. And for every player who has met or exceeded expectations, there's been one who disappointed. If you drafted Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, you're no doubt pleased that he's fantasy's top-ranked passer through six games this year. But if you pulled the trigger several rounds earlier on Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks, you've been left scratching your head -- wondering why he can't even crack the top 20. At running back, David Johnson of the Arizona Cardinals and Ezekiel Elliott of the Dallas Cowboys have lived up to their first-round billing. DeMarco Murray of the Tennessee Titans and LeSean McCoy of the Buffalo Bills have been values. Christine Michael of the Seattle Sehawks has been a steal. And Eddie Lacy of the Green Bay Packers has been a hot mess. Among the wide receivers, Both Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons and Odell Beckham of the New York Giants experienced mini-slumps to start the year. They've broken out of theirs -- just in time for Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers to lose his starting quarterback. It's been a crazy year, and things are only going to get wilder from here. As they do every week, the gang at Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy has gathered to guide you through the madness and prepare you for Week 7. So join Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Gary Davenport, Todd Latzke and Walton Spurlin Thursday, October 20 at 7 PM Eastern as they do just that. Come on in -- the water's FINE.

Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy: Week 9 Preview

It's Week 9 of the 2016 NFL season already. And this week brings with it the bye week blues. For the second consecutive week, six NFL teams are on a bye, leaving many fantasy owners scrambling to fill a hole in their lineups. For fantasy owners who made it through Tom Brady's four-game suspension and who have been enjoying the huge numbers Brady has posted during his revenge tour, it's no dice -- the Golden Boy and the Patriots are off this week. Have you been doing your happy dance on a weekly basis this year as Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson topped 100 total yards in every game this season and posted the most fantasy points of any player at any position? No dancing this week -- Johnson and the Redbirds are taking it off. Are you one of the fortunate few who has basked in the welcoming warmth of plugging A.J. Green and his 896 receiving yards into your fantasy lineup each and every week? Well this week's set will be unplugged -- after playing in London in Week 8 Green and the Bengals aren't playing. And of course, where the Golden Boy goes his number one goon follows, so fantasy owners won't have tight end Rob Gronkowski at their disposal in Week 9 either. Still, off teams or no there's a game to be won. A very important game for teams sitting at 4-4 or 3-5 and clinging desperately to fading playoff aspirations. A game those teams can't afford to lose. And that's where the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy comes in. Join Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Gary Davenport, Todd Latzke and Walton Spurlin on Thursday, November 3rd at 7 PM as they break down everything you need to know about Week 9 -- who to start, who to sit, and players set to be wither fantasy studs or woeful duds.
