Sharp Football Analysis’ Week 8 fantasy worksheet pits the Vikings against the Lions, highlighting a clash of extremes. Detroit’s offense ranks 2nd in EPA (58.3) and averages 25.0 implied points, while Minnesota’s defense leads the league in defensive EPA (66.3) and allows just 6.9 passing points per game. The Lions boast a league‑best 74.6% early‑down success rate and generate the most 20‑plus‑yard plays (5.7 per game); the Vikings are opposite, with the lowest early‑down success (29.2%) and only 2.3 big plays per game. Jared Goff enters as a solid QB2 (22.2 fantasy points/game) but faces a stout Vikings defense that has allowed only three passing TDs all season. The worksheet breaks down spreads, play counts, and turnover rates to help fantasy owners gauge upside.
Ravens vs. Bills Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 8
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 8 fantasy worksheet pits the Ravens against the Bills in a high‑scoring showdown. The Bills lead the league in points per drive (3.13) and explosive plays, while Buffalo’s defense surrenders the most points per drive (2.76) and allows 30‑plus points in four games. Josh Allen tops fantasy QBs with 26.9 points per game and benefits from D.J. Moore’s return, though his deep‑downfield efficiency has slipped. The Ravens sport a +65 first‑half margin but a –63 second‑half deficit, carry the worst penalty differential and rank 3.5 underdogs with a 25.0 implied total. This data‑rich preview helps fantasy owners gauge risk and upside for both sides.
Browns vs. Steelers Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 8
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 8 fantasy worksheet breaks down the Browns‑Steelers clash. The Browns sit at a 3.5‑point underdog, averaging 19.0 points per game (12th) versus Pittsburgh’s 28.0 (5th). Cleveland’s offense runs 43.8% of plays, ranks 26th in play‑calling and has been outscored 58‑13 after the first quarter—the worst margin in the league. Defensively, they allow 4.9 sacks + turnovers per game (31st), while the Steelers limit opponents to 1.75 points per drive (4th). QB preview: Aaron Rodgers (Browns) posts a 61.6% completion rate but struggles against man coverage; Deshaun Watson (Browns) is a QB2 after a big 308‑yard outing. Steelers’ passing dominates the red zone (92.9% TDs air). The data suggests a low‑scoring, pass‑heavy showdown that favors Steelers’ defense.
Raiders vs. Jets Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 8
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 8 fantasy worksheet breaks down the Raiders‑Jets clash, highlighting a 1.5‑point Raiders spread and a 23.5 implied total. The Raiders outrank the league in scoring above expectations (+33 points) but concede a league‑high 3.25 points per drive over the last four weeks. Kirk Cousins leads the NFL in TD passes (16) and ranks second in fantasy points (18.8 pts/gm), while the Jets’ Geno Smith has a 70% completion rate and 10 TDs.

Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 8 fantasy worksheet pits the Arizona Cardinals against the Dallas Cowboys, highlighting a -6.5 spread and a 30.5 implied total. The Cowboys lead the league with 6.9 plays per possession and convert 74.1% of red‑zone trips to touchdowns, while Arizona struggles, ranking last in passing yards allowed (8.5 per attempt) and red‑zone efficiency (42.9%). Dak Prescott is flagged as a high‑upside QB, averaging 24.3 fantasy points in 30‑plus‑point home games, whereas Cardinals starter Jacoby Brissett offers volume‑based upside for streaming.

The Jaguars dominate the first half (+42 point differential) and lead the league in points‑off‑turnover (+31), while the Colts sit last in turnover margin (-9). Quarterback match‑up favors Trevor Lawrence, who posts a league‑high 7.6% TD rate and excels in play‑action, whereas Daniel Jones ranks near the bottom in passing efficiency. Both teams show contrasting success rates on rush and pass plays, making the Jaguars’ strong defense and the Colts’ road‑loss streak key factors for fantasy owners.

Cowboys vs. Eagles Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 7
Sharp Football Analysis’ Week 7 fantasy worksheet breaks down the Monday night Cowboys‑Eagles clash. Dallas sits at a -4.5 spread with a 24.5 implied total, but both teams rank near the bottom in big‑play differentials—Cowboys are last in 20‑plus‑yard plays, Eagles have the fewest 20‑yard pass plays. Both squads are among the league’s worst in third‑down efficiency, and each allows a high third‑down conversion rate. Dak Prescott struggles with blitzes, posting a career‑low 6.7 Y/A, yet faces an Eagles pass rush that blitzes only 24.5% of snaps. The Eagles’ defense gives up 14.5 passing points per game and has yielded several top‑10 fantasy quarterbacks. These metrics suggest a low‑scoring, grind‑it‑out game with modest upside for QB and skill‑position picks.
Chiefs vs. Seahawks Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 7
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 7 fantasy worksheet breaks down the Chiefs‑Seahawks Sunday Night showdown. The Chiefs (2‑5 spread) lead the league in offensive yardage (+108 yd/game) and rank second in defensive success rate, while Seattle’s defense is 2nd‑best in points per drive. Patrick Mahomes is a QB2 this week, posting 23‑30 passes for 272 yards, no TDs and one pick‑off, with a career‑low 34.8 dropbacks per game. The Seahawks allow just 5.3 yd/pass and 9.6 passing points per game, making them a tough home opponent. Both teams excel in red‑zone defense, but the Chiefs’ sack‑and‑turnover rate (2.0) outperforms Seattle’s (4.7). The analysis suggests caution on Mahomes and highlights the impact of Kenneth Walker’s reduced role.

Patriots vs. Bears Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 7
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 7 fantasy worksheet breaks down the Patriots‑Bears Thursday Night clash. New England enters as a -3.0 favorite with a 23.75 implied total, ranking 3rd in points per game (22.7) and 5th in yard differential (+73.3). Chicago sits 12th in points (25.0), 4th in yard differential (+86.0) and leads the league in rushing touchdowns (72.2%). Patriots QB Drake Maye is a hot fantasy QB1, posting three consecutive 20‑plus‑point games and 10 touchdowns, but New England’s O‑line is depleted by injuries. The Bears generate pressure on 38% of snaps and excel on third‑down conversions, while allowing the league‑worst passing yards per attempt. The matchup offers high‑scoring potential if the Patriots protect Maye and the Bears struggle against heavy sets.
Packers vs. Lions Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 7
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 7 fantasy worksheet breaks down the Packers‑Lions clash, highlighting a -3.0 spread and a 28.25 implied total. Detroit’s games average a league‑high 62.4 points, with 3.09 points per drive (2nd) and a 30th‑ranked defense that has allowed touchdowns on 83.3% of opponent scores. Green Bay scores first in every game, leads the league in 30‑plus‑yard pass plays, and has tightened its defense to 5.9 yards per pass attempt. Quarterback preview favors Jared Goff (23.0 fantasy pts/gm, 20.2 at home vs Detroit) as a QB1, while Jordan Love (20+ pts, rushing TD) remains a QB7 with upside. The piece offers detailed stats and projections for fantasy owners.
Rams vs. Raiders Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 7
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 7 fantasy worksheet pits the LA Rams against the Las Vegas Raiders, highlighting a -4.5 spread and a 26.5 implied total. The Rams rank 3rd in points per game (27.0) but struggle on third down (40.3% reach, 44% conversion). Matthew Stafford remains a top‑12 QB despite a dip in yards per attempt and losing Davante Adams, while the Raiders’ defense has surrendered the league‑high 3.27 points per drive recently. Kirk Cousins shows high volume but faces a Rams secondary that limits passing yards and touchdowns. The data‑rich breakdown helps fantasy owners gauge QB and defensive value for Sunday’s clash.
Broncos vs. Cardinals Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 7
Sharp Football’s Week 7 fantasy worksheet pits Denver (-4.5) against Arizona (over/under 24) and dives into the stats that matter for sleepers. Denver’s rookie QB Bo Nix ranks near the bottom in yards per attempt (5.4) and long‑pass rate, yet the Cardinals have allowed the league‑worst passing points per drive (19.6) and a high touchdown rate, giving Nix modest upside as a QB2. Arizona’s Jacoby Brissett is a boom‑or‑bust option, posting a 68.6% completion rate but limited fantasy upside against a Denver defense that ranks sixth in passing points allowed. The worksheet also notes both teams are tied for the fewest 20‑plus‑yard plays and highlights Denver’s low points‑per‑drive (1.62) and high third‑down conversion (31.6%).
Bengals vs. Ravens Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 7
Sharp Football’s Week 7 Worksheet pits the Bengals against the Ravens, highlighting the 11‑2 all‑time edge for Baltimore and a narrow 2.5‑point spread. The Ravens lead the league in first‑half points per drive (2.92) but slump in the second half (1.47), while both teams frequently build double‑digit leads. Cincinnati leans heavily on the pass (84.6% of its TDs) and ranks 31st in rushing efficiency, whereas Baltimore excels on big runs (29 ten‑yard runs, seven 20‑yard runs). QB outlook hinges on Lamar Jackson’s health—if he misses, backup Tyler Huntley offers modest upside, while Joe Burrow continues his QB1 streak with 20‑plus fantasy points after the bye. Key stats: implied total 26.75, points per game 25.6 (CIN) vs 26.0 (BAL), rush‑pass split 36.5%/63.5% (CIN) vs 50.4%/49.6% (BAL).
Dolphins vs. Jets Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 7
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 7 Worksheet breaks down the Dolphins‑Jets clash, highlighting a 4.5-point spread favoring Miami and an implied total of 22.0. The Jets rank 4th in rushing EPA (‑26.8) but 22nd in passing EPA (‑18.5) and have the league’s lowest red‑zone TD conversion (37.5%). Miami, still winless to any lead, allows a league‑high 76.6% completion rate and 2.75 points per drive. Geno Smith (68.9% completion, 0 INT) is a high‑success‑rate QB2 option against a defense that struggles on short passes, while Malik Willis remains a QB2 with limited passing upside but growing rushing value. The data helps fantasy managers gauge quarterback and skill‑position upside for this low‑scoring matchup.
49ers vs. Falcons Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 7
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 7 fantasy worksheet breaks down the 49ers‑Falcons clash. San Francisco holds a -3.5 spread and 27.0 implied total, ranking 5th in third‑down conversion (51.5%) and 3rd in points per game (29.5). Brock Purdy, after a strong first half versus the Rams, fell to a back‑end QB1 (17.4 pts) as injuries limited his weapons; WR Mike Evans is out for the game, leaving Purdy with limited third‑down targets. Atlanta, allowing 17.1 passing points per game, has struggled against quick attacks but remains a decent matchup for Purdy’s fantasy upside.
Giants vs. Texans Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 7
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 7 fantasy worksheet pits the New York Giants against the Houston Texans, highlighting a -9.5 spread and a 26.25 implied total. Texans QB C.J. Stroud shines with three straight 20‑point games, a 70.6% completion rate and a career‑best success rate, making him a solid QB1 option. The Giants, meanwhile, are starting rookie J.J. McCarthy after an ineffective stint by Jameis Winston; McCarthy posted 243 yards and a touchdown in limited action but remains a 2‑QB slot candidate. Defensive stats show the Giants allowing the 27th‑best touchdown rate while the Texans surrender the league’s second‑most 20‑yard pass plays. This data helps fantasy managers weigh Stroud’s upside against the Giants’ uncertain quarterback play.
Buccaneers vs. Panthers Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 7
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 7 fantasy worksheet pits the Buccaneers against the Panthers, highlighting a tight 3.5‑point spread and a 24‑point implied total. Tampa Bay, the only team with every game decided by one score, ranks 31st in offensive EPA and struggles on third‑down conversions (29th), while Carolina’s offense shines with the 5th‑best passing yards per play and a 53.8% motion rate. QB Bryce Young continues his QB8 form, leading the league in passing yards (309.8 y/game) and thriving in RPOs, whereas Baker Mayfield’s return is uncertain after a thumb injury, leaving him a QB2 at best. The matchup features a blitz‑heavy Bucs defense (42.6% blitz rate) against a pass‑centric Panthers attack, making the fantasy upside especially relevant for QB and pass‑catcher positions.
Colts vs. Vikings Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 7
Sharp Football Analysis’ Week 7 worksheet pits the Colts against the Vikings, highlighting a -6.5 spread and a 24‑point implied total. Minnesota’s defense dominates with league‑best EPA (62.7) and a +6 turnover differential, while its offense stalls at a league‑low -46.7 EPA and faces a league‑high 65% third‑down rate. Indianapolis leans on a top‑3 rushing attack (7.4 EPA) but ranks 29th in passing EPA (-26.8) and is -8 in turnover margin. Quarterbacks Kyler Murray (QB2 floor) and Daniel Jones are projected as lower‑tier fantasy options, with Murray’s short‑pass efficiency and Jones’s recent struggles detailed. The data suggests a low‑scoring, defense‑driven game favoring Vikings‑friendly fantasy picks.
Browns vs. Titans Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 7
Rich Hribar’s Week 7 Worksheet breaks down the Browns‑Titans clash for fantasy owners. The Browns sit at a –1.5 spread with a 20.0 implied total, while the Titans are at +1.5 and 18.5. Cleveland averages 38.0 combined points per game (30th) and struggles with a league‑worst 30.8% third‑down conversion and 11.9% on third‑and‑long. Tennessee, at 35.5 combined points (31st), converts 13.9% of third‑and‑long attempts. QB preview favors Deshaun Watson as a matchup‑based QB2, and Cam Ward remains a back‑end 2QB option. Both defenses trade strong pass‑rate stats, making the low‑scoring, run‑heavy game a tricky fantasy pick.
Steelers vs. Saints Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 7
Sharp Football Analysis’ Week 7 Worksheet breaks down the Steelers‑Saints clash in Paris, highlighting a -3.5 spread for Pittsburgh and a 24.0 implied total. The Saints rank 3rd in second‑half points per drive (2.62) but have yet to score first this season and allow a league‑high 49 turnover points. Pittsburgh’s defense limits opponents to 10 red‑zone trips (fewest in the league) and a 14.5% touchdown rate, while New Orleans concedes 26 red‑zone trips and a 30% TD rate. Quarterback outlook favors Aaron Rodgers as a high‑upside QB2, with Tyler Shough as a risky QB2 option for the Steelers. Key stats: Steelers 61.7% pass completion, 5.0 Y/A; Saints 66.5% completion, 7.7 Y/A.
