Week 8 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Reggie Wayne and Star WRs Who Must Be Benched

Wide receivers are a unique bunch, and their inconsistency drives fantasy football owners crazy. In Week 8 of the NFL season there are several star wide receivers you should bench on your fantasy team.

Not choosing the right players to start and bench can be the determining factor to your performing successfully in your fantasy league.

Let's take a look at three wide receivers who have absolutely no business being in you starting lineup this week.

1) Reggie Wayne

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne has been a major disappointment this season without All-Pro quarterback Peyton Manning throwing him the ball.

Wayne has just one touchdown and one 100-yard receiving game all season, and has not been consistent at all.

Bench him on your fantasy team this week.

2) Larry Fitzgerald

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb hasn't been able to be the quality passer that Larry Fitzgerald hasn't had since Kurt Warner retired, and it's clear that's the reason Fitz's stats are not that amazing.

Despite having 505 yards receiving this season, Fitzgerald has just two touchdown catches. Against the talented Baltimore Ravens defense this week, the Cardinals offense as a whole including Fitzgerald will not perform well.

Do not play him this week.

3) Brandon Lloyd

Brandon Lloyd is not a good choice to start on your fantasy football team this week with the quarterback mess in St. Louis still an issue.

Starting quarterback Sam Bradford is recovering from an injury, and if his backup AJ Feeley plays the Rams offense will really struggle.

Bench Lloyd this week until the Rams prove they can be a balanced offensive team, or unless he proves he can be a force himself.
