In preparation for Week 8 of the Fantasy Football season, it's time to focus on stashing valuable players for the future, as well as identifying streamers who can give your team a boost. With no teams on a bye, there is more room on rosters for potential stashes and an opportunity to pick up players who were dropped due to roster crunches.

Firstly, grab the opportunity to secure a rest-of-season kicker like Brandon Aubrey or Evan McPherson, who were previously dropped but have proven to be excellent options. Aubrey, playing at home against the Rams in Week 8, may be the top priority due to his favorable matchup.

When it comes to future streamers, rookie stashes, backup running backs, and deep-league stashes, there are several intriguing names to consider. Let's explore these categories and the players to target.

Starting with rookie stashes, Murray stands out with his potential for elite Fantasy upside. Although his Week 8 start is uncertain, he deserves to be rostered in close to 90% of leagues once fully recovered from his torn ACL. Throughout his career, Murray has consistently produced impressive Fantasy point averages of at least 20 FPPG.

Ferguson, despite disappointing performances in his past two games, remains a valuable stash. The fact that he is carried by nearly two-thirds of teams through his bye week indicates his potential as a set-it-and-forget-it starting option.

On the defensive side, the Jets defense ranks an impressive No. 6 in standard CBS scoring. With a Week 8 matchup against the Giants, who have surrendered the most Fantasy points to opposing defenses, the Jets defense is worth carrying through their bye if available on the waiver wire.

For deep-league stashes, consider Smith-Njigba, whose roster rate dropped recently. However, he still possesses potential and could be a valuable addition to your bench. Another option is Downs, who has consistently garnered targets and Fantasy points in recent games. He may not need to be stashed and can be utilized as a flex option this week.

In terms of backup running backs, Musgrave is an intriguing choice with solid target numbers in his last healthy games and a favorable matchup against the Broncos in Week 8. Additionally, Charbonnet, although battling a hamstring injury, has shown immense potential as a handcuff to Kenneth Walker. With the potential for increased playing time in case of injury, Charbonnet offers significant upside.

In Buffalo, with Damien Harris sidelined, Murray emerges as an appealing backup running back option. Should anything happen to Cook, Murray could see 15-plus touches and provides touchdown upside on a weekly basis. Similarly, Singletary has earned a prominent role in the Bills' backfield, outperforming Pierce in Week 6 and commanding a season-high snap share. He could become Fantasy relevant even without an injury.

Lastly, White serves as the clear backup running back for Josh Jacobs in Las Vegas. With Jacobs shouldering a heavy workload, White would step into a more prominent role if injury strikes. Although efficiency may not be guaranteed, White would likely receive more than 15 touches per game.

In terms of tight ends, keep an eye on McBride, especially if Zach Ertz is traded before the upcoming deadline. McBride, coming off a solid performance in Week 6, would emerge as a top-12 tight end if Ertz departs.

In deep leagues, it would be wise to roster Henderson, Royce Freeman, and Myles Gaskin. These players serve as insurance in case Zach Evans does not dominate the lead back role as anticipated.

As Week 8 approaches, make calculated moves to stash these promising players for the future and consider streamers who can provide an immediate impact. Keep an eye on injuries and team situations, as these factors can quickly change the Fantasy Football landscape.
