OwnersBox Quarterbacks
Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers) vs. MIN
After a Week 6 hiccup against what is looking like a dominant Tampa Bay defense, Rodgers got back to business in Week 7, tossing four touchdowns against the Titans. He will take on the division-rival Vikings in Week 8 in what shapes up as an advantageous matchup for the Rodgers. Minnesota's defense is allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the QB position and ranks 15th in pass-defense DVOA according to FootballOutsiders.
Also consider: Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) vs. NYJ
Ben Roethlisberger (Pittsburgh Steelers) @BAL, @DAL, vs. CIN, @JAX
Roethlisberger is coming off a rough Week 7 where he threw three picks, but he also managed to toss two touchdowns to salvage his day. A Week 8 matchup against the rival Ravens doesn't look great at first, but the Baltimore defense has actually been rather generous to opposing passing games, ranking 13th in fantasy points allowed to the position. Week 9 brings a fantastic matchup against a Dallas secondary that has been serving up QB1 performances all season long and could already be playing for next year in a lost season.
Week 10 is another plus matchup as the Bengals will travel to Pittsburgh. Cincinnati's pass defense has been rough, most recently serving up a five-touchdown performance to Baker Mayfield. Big Ben will finish up with a road matchup in Jacksonville. The Jags rank dead last in the league in pass defense DVOA and are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to QBs.

OwnersBox Running Backs
Kareem Hunt (Cleveland Browns) vs. LV
Hunt gets at least another week to operate as Cleveland's bell-cow back with Nick Chubb still on IR. He will take on a weak Las Vegas run defense at home in Week 8 in a fantastic matchup for RBs. Las Vegas is allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to running backs and should offer little resistance for Hunt and the run-heavy Cleveland offense.
Also consider: Derrick Henry (Tennessee Titans) @CIN
Dalvin Cook (Minnesota Vikings) @GB, vs. DET, @CHI, vs. DAL
Cook is expected to be at full strength after missing a game in Week 6 with what was deemed a minor groin strain. Coming off his bye, Cook will take on the Packers in Week 8 in an excellent matchup. Green Bay's run defense ranks 22nd in DVOA and they could force Minnesota to run frequently as budding star cornerback Jaire Alexander has been snuffing out the opposition's WR1 all season long. A home matchup with the Lions awaits Cook in Week 9. Detroit's defense is solid against the pass (14th in DVOA) but weak vs. the run (23rd). That plays right into what Minnesota wants to do, which is run frequently.
A road matchup against the Bears is the lone tough spot over the next four weeks for Cook but he remains involved enough in the passing game to offset any troubles on the ground that he may encounter. Week 11 brings a struggling Dallas defense that is allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to running backs.

OwnersBox Wide Receivers
A.J. Brown (Tennessee Titans) @CIN
Browns is showing that he is over an early-season knee issue, having found the end zone four times over his last three games. He will take on a Cincinnati defense that is 26th in DVOA against the pass. Brown will continue to be the first option for Ryan Tannehill and the explosive Tennessee offense in a game with a healthy 52.5-point over/under.
Also consider: Davante Adams (Green Bay Packers) vs. MIN
Davante Adams (Green Bay Packers) vs. MIN, @SF, vs. JAX, @IND
Adams reminded fantasy gamers why he is the WR1 this season with a ridiculous 13-catch, 196-yard, two-touchdown game against Houston in Week 7. His massive target share in the Green Bay offense makes him the safest wide receiver play in fantasy on a weekly basis. He will face a weak Vikings secondary in Week 8. Back in Week 1, he shredded the Vikes for 14 catches, 156 yards, and two scores. After that, Adams will travel to San Francisco. The 49ers register as a tough matchup but Davante's high target share keeps him on the board as a top-five WR for that matchup.
In Week 10, Adams will take on a leaky Jacksonville pass defense that ranks last in the league in DVOA. The Packers finish up this four-week stretch with a road game against the Colts. Indy has been a good defense this season, ranking fifth in pass-defense DVOA, but they have allowed several big games to WRs, including a trio of touchdowns to the Jags wideouts in Week 1, seven catches for 101 yards and a score to Allen Robinson in Week 4, and then last week, Tee Higgins and A.J. Green combined for 14 catches for 221 yards.
Also consider: Diontae Johnson (Pittsburgh Steelers) @BAL, @DAL, vs. CIN, @JAX
OwnersBox Tight Ends
Darren Waller (Las Vegas Raiders) @CLE
Waller continues to be a dominant force in fantasy and he draws an excellent Week 8 matchup against a weak Cleveland pass defense. The Browns have struggled to stop tight ends for a few years now and that hasn't changed in 2020. Cleveland is allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends despite Mark Andrews being the only true fantasy TE1 that they have faced in seven games.
Also consider: George Kittle (San Francisco 49ers) @SEA
Mark Andrews (Baltimore Ravens) vs. PIT, @IND, @NE, vs. TEN
Andrews doesn't exactly have a great stretch ahead of him but at least Baltimore's opponents should score enough points to keep the Ravens throwing throughout the game. Andrews will take on the Steelers this weekend in a divisional clash that is very important for the Ravens. Look for Andrews to be prominently involved in that one. Week 9 brings a road game against the Colts. Indy has been excellent against tight ends but they also haven't faced a very difficult group of opponents, with Austin Hooper probably the best of the bunch.
Andrews will then face the Patriots on the road in Week 10. New England has been good against tight ends but George Kittle managed 55 yards and Travis Kelce went for 70 in their matchups. The Titans in Week 11 is a matchup worth highlighting as Tennessee has given up the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the tight end position in 2020.
