Fantasy Football Projections Week 8: Tim Tebow and QBs Who Will Fail

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow is not a smart fantasy option today at quarterback, and he's not the only QB set to fail this week.

Colts quarterback Curtis Painter, Jaguars rookie Blaine Gabbert and Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton will also not perform well in Week 8 of the NFL season.

Let's look at quarterbacks who will not do well for your fantasy team today.

1) Tim Tebow

Tim Tebow will play the most talented defensive line he'll face all season on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, led by star defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.

Tebow will find it much more difficult to escape the pocket against the Lions defense than he found against the winless Miami Dolphins in Week 7.

Do not start Tebow this week, he will not pass for many yards and his rushing game will be slowed by the talented Lions defense.

2) Blaine Gabbert

Blaine Gabbert has a lot of potential but his stats haven't been too good for fantasy owners. The Jacksonville Jaguars rookie beat the Baltimore Ravens last week, but his offense could only muster 12 points.

Against the talented Houston Texans secondary this week, Gabbert will struggle to add to his four touchdown pass total this week.

3) Philip Rivers

Philip Rivers has been disappointing this season and has many owners wishing they hadn't selected him in the first round of their fantasy football drafts.

Rivers has a tough matchup on the road this week against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, which is one of the toughest places to play in football.

Rivers will turn it around, but against a Chiefs team that has won three straight games and is playing well, he won't perform to his standards on Sunday.
