Week 8 of the 2022 NFL season will go down in the books as “the wake-up call.” Several players who have been notable fantasy studs in the past, but have been missing in action this season, finally decided to make their presence felt. For fantasy managers dealing with the frustration of missed opportunities through the first two months of the season, Week 8 provided some relief. That said, it might have created more frustration for those who benched their disappointing players and couldn’t reap the benefits of their big weeks.
Here is a look at some of the players who broke out in Week 8:
D.J. Moore: With an average draft position of 39 (WR14), Moore was shaping up as a major bust through seven weeks. He showed signs of life last week with seven catches for 69 yards and a touchdown, but that was by far his best game of the year – until this Sunday when he had 152 yards and a score. Who knew it would take P.J. Walker to bring out the best in the Panthers wideout?
