No, this week after weeks.

So everyone is at the table.

Let's take a look at three guys heading into week eight.

In Week Five, Romeo Dobbs became frustrated with his effort and had to sit out, apparently it worked as Dobbs has since had his two best games of the season with two touchdowns last week and eight receptions on 10 targets for 95 yards in Week Seven.

Dobbs has always been one of the Packers' premier receivers, but consistency in scoring has really been an issue for him, which has limited his overall upset.

We assumed Wicks would break through and prevail in this offense, but Wicks is still struggling with declines in this inconsistent boom-bust fashion.

On the other hand, Dobbs was very consistent and reliable when it came to love.

The number of love interceptions is increasing.

Therefore, consideration and reliability are key for him and Dobbs should remain a solid flex option.

The Patriots lost again, but Drake May absolutely breathed new life into this Patriots offense, and the big beneficiary was Hunter Henry.

Henry had a big game back in Week 2, but struggled with an extremely low floor, scoring fewer than five fantasy points in all of his appearances.

But as May began last week, Henry saw an increase in production and continued this week with eight options on nine targets for 92 yards.

Well, that was an excellent game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but things will definitely be more difficult next week against the New York Jets.

The matchup should actually be more of a challenge for the receivers, so Henry may be able to continue to be relied upon, and Henry has once again gained an advantage with the addition of Amari Cooper to the Bills.

Everyone was essentially willing to write off the remaining receivers because Omari Cooper was clearly going to be the wide receiver and to his credit Cooper stepped in and had immediate production and should be the wide receiver going forward, but maybe we'll have the benefit von Cooper's underrated presence and what it would have for the other receivers.

Adding Cooper to the lineup freed up Keon Coleman and potentially offered him a look more suited to his skill set, leading to his best performance of the season with four balls on seven targets for 100 and 25 yards in week eight.

The Bills face a very friendly Seattle Seahawks defense.

The Bills' entire offense should see an increase in performance now that their team is complete, and Keon Coleman can definitely benefit here.
