Week 8 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: 3 Pickups Guaranteed to Win Your Week

Another week has come and gone in the NFL, and there is still some waiver-wire gold out there if you dig deep enough.

Headed into Week 8, three players still available in a good amount of leagues shined in Week 7, and all signs point to them continuing their success.

Here are three pickups guaranteed to win your matchup in Week 8.

3. Antonio Brown, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers

Second-year receiver Antonio Brown was the darling of the preseason, and many projected him to have a breakout campaign.

Headed into Week 7, Brown had been a disappointment. But he found his rhythm in Week 7, breaking out for 102 receiving yards.

He was rolling even before veteran receiver Hines Ward went down with an ankle injury. If Ward misses time, expect Brown to get even more targets.

The touchdown numbers still aren't there for Brown, but it seems it's only a matter of time before he finds the end zone. And for fantasy owners in PPR leagues, he's an even better add.

The Steelers face a forgiving New England Patriots pass defense in Week 8.

2. Fred Davis, TE, Washington Redskins

I've always liked the Redskins' 2008 second-rounder Fred Davis.

When given the opportunity, Davis has proven to be a threat through the air, and he showed how dangerous he can be in Week 7, racking up six catches for 80 yards and a touchdown against the Carolina Panthers.

Both tight end Chris Cooley and receiver Santana Moss are out with injuries, and Davis is making the most of his opportunity. Davis faces the Buffalo Bills in Week 8, a team giving up over 284 passing yards per game. The Bills allowed New York Giants rookie tight end Jake Ballard to rack up 81 yards in Week 6.

1. DeMarco Murray, RB, Dallas Cowboys

Folks, you're looking at the new starting running back for the Dallas Cowboys.

Felix Jones hasn't gotten it done as a feature back on a consistent basis, probably due to the fact that he's not the type of back that generally succeeds running in between the tackles.

Rookie DeMarco Murray exploded in Week 7 when given his first heavy workload of the season, racking up 253 rushing yards and a touchdown on 25 carries. His performance broke the Cowboys' single-game rushing record and single-game rookie rushing record.

Murray looks legit, and he may be one of the biggest steals of the 2011 NFL Draft, selected in the third round. Anyone who saw Murray run knows those numbers in Week 7 weren't a fluke.

Add him. Now. He faces a forgiving Philadelphia Eagles rush defense in Week 8.
