Fantasy football analysts have identified Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes as unexpected bench candidates for Week 8 of the NFL season, according to a Yahoo Sports report published Wednesday.
Taylor, who scored a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on October 25, is among the high-profile players some experts suggest sitting despite strong recent production. Mahomes, typically a weekly starter, also appears on the list of shocking bench considerations for the upcoming slate of games.
The recommendations come as fantasy managers navigate bye weeks, matchup concerns, and injury uncertainties heading into the midseason stretch.
