A list of fantasy football players you should add, drop or ignore for Week 8. Follow @walterfootball for updates.

Kyle Monangai, RB, Bears (Priority: Medium)
Kyle Monangai ran 13 times against the Saints, and that was not the byproduct of garbage time. He needs to be owned because he’s productive now. Imagine how coveted he’ll be if D’Andre Swift gets hurt.
Oronde Gadsen II, TE, Chargers (Priority: Medium)
Oronde Gadsen is a high priority if you need a tight end. How many explosive games can he have before he’s more than just 2.1-percent owned?
Isaiah Davis, RB, Jets (Priority: Medium)
Each week, the odds of Breece Hall being traded increase. If Hall is moved, Isaiah Davis will be the primary back in New York with Braelon Allen hurt.
Tyjae Spears, RB, Titans (Priority: Medium)
Tony Pollard could be traded soon, so Tyjae Spears should be added, especially in PPR leagues.
Kayshon Boutte, WR, Patriots (Priority: Medium)
How is Kayshon Boutte owned in just 27 percent of ESPN leagues? I keep starting him in one league! Boutte is a talented player who will continue to thrive, as Drake Maye keeps improving.
Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints
Alvin Kamara continues to lose touches to Kendre Miller and Taysom Hill (at least prior to Week 7), but he’s likely to be traded in the coming weeks.
Rome Odunze, WR, Bears
Rome Odunze is coming off his second-consecutive dud performance, but he led the team in target versus the Saints. Chicago simply didn’t have to throw a lot.
Jameson Williams, WR, Lions
Jameson Williams has had some dud performances, but he led the team with eight target against Cleveland.
Nick Chubb, RB, Texans
Nick Chubb just had a solid performance, so you’ll have to sell high now because there’s not much left in the tank.
Stefon Diggs, WR, Patriots
Stefon Diggs recently had a monster game. He’s the ultimate sell high now, as he’s a 31-year-old with balky knees.
Travis Kelce, TE, Chiefs
Travis Kelce is coming off some great games prior to Week 7, but he’ll lose targets to Rashee Rice.
Isiah Pacheco, RB, Chiefs
Isiah Pacheco just had a nice game, but the Chiefs may trade for a running back.
Chimere Dike, WR, Titans
Chimere Dike just had a big game, but you can’t count on any consistency from anyone in Tennessee’s offense.
Xavier Legette, WR, Panthers
Don’t trust Xavier Legette, please.
Marvin Mims, WR, Broncos
Marvin Mims had a big game, but only because Bo Nix threw 50 times.
Michael Carter, RB, Cardinals
Bam Knight started ahead of Michael Carter. Don’t bother adding Knight either.
Chris Godwin, WR, Buccaneers
Chris Godwin is not doing anything and shouldn’t be rostered.
Cooper Kupp, WR, Seahawks
Cooper Kupp is somehow still owned in 78 percent of ESPN leagues. Why!?
