Fantasy Player Projections
| Pos. | Player | Projection |
| QB | Aaron Rodgers | 175 pass yards, 2 pass TD, 1 INT The Packers will likely throw a lot against a Jets defense that is stiff against the run, so expect another productive outing from him in Week 8. |
| RB | Brandon Jackson | 2 rec, 10 rec yards, 40 rush yards Jackson has put up decent yardage totals over the last three weeks, but he does not have a good matchup this week against a rested Jets defense that has given up just two rushing touchdowns. Use a running back with a better matchup. |
| WR | Greg Jennings | 5 rec, 65 yards, 1 TD Jennings has picked up the pace with Jermichael Finley out, but he will likely see a lot of Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie this week. Jennings will have to find the end zone again to have a productive outing. |
| WR | Donald Driver | 2 rec, 30 yards Driver was held without a catch last week for the first time since 2001 due to a sore thigh. He may not be 100 percent for Week 8 either, so consider using a different option this week if available. |
| WR | James Jones | 2 rec, 30 yards Jones had a nice game last week with Donald Driver slowed by a thigh injury. If Driver is limited again this week, Jones will have some value against a Jets team that is 22nd in the league against the pass. |
| TE | Andrew Quarless | 4 rec, 40 yards, 1 TD Quarless caught his first career touchdown pass last week, and he could play an even bigger role this week if the Packers look to keep the ball away from the Jets corners. Quarless will have some value in deeper leagues. |
| K | Mason Crosby | 2 PATs, 1 FG Crosby's opportunities could be limited this week against the strong Jets defense. |
| Defense | 2 sacks, 2 INT The Jets are very good at running the ball, and the Packers defense has had trouble containing the run in recent weeks. They are still a good option given their ability to get to the quarterback, but do not expect a big week. | |
| Pos. | Player | Projection |
| QB | Mark Sanchez | 235 pass yards, 2 INT Sanchez has thrown just one touchdown pass in his last two games and has been held under 200 yards in each contest. He faces a play-making Packers defense in Week 8, so those in standard leagues should use a different option. |
| RB | LaDainian Tomlinson | 3 rec, 30 rec yards, 90 rush yards, 2 rush TD Tomlinson has recorded double-digit fantasy points in his past four games, and he faces a Packers defense that has had trouble stopping the run lately. He is a viable option in all formats this week. |
| RB | Shonn Greene | 35 rush yards Greene is averaging just over 50 yards per game and has only scored once this season. He could be more involved coming out of the bye, but expect LaDainian Tomlinson to see most of the work again this week. |
| WR | Braylon Edwards | 4 rec, 75 yards Edwards has scored in four of his past five games, so make sure he is back in your lineup this week coming off the Jets' bye. |
| WR | Santonio Holmes | 2 rec, 30 yards Holmes has been decent in his two games back, but it remains to be seen what type of production he can ultimately provide in the Jets offense. Go with a more productive option until Holmes starts putting up better numbers. |
| WR | Jerricho Cotchery | 2 rec, 25 yards The Packers are pretty good against the pass, so do not expect much from Cotchery as the Jets' third wide receiver. |
| TE | Dustin Keller | 6 rec, 75 yards Keller has been one of the league's highest scoring tight ends to this point, so make sure he is in your lineup for Week 8. |
| K | Nick Folk | 2 PATs, 2 FGs Folk has been one of the highest-scoring fantasy kickers this season, but he is still available in a lot of leagues. Consider adding him if you need a kicker. |
| Defense | 4 sacks, 1 INT, 2 Fumbles The Jets have forced 14 turnovers this season, but they may allow more points than usual against a Packers offense that can move the ball through the air. Still, the Jets are worth a start in most formats. | |
