Check out my Week 8 Picks.

If you check my quarterback rankings you’ll see I love Matt Hasselbeck, which means I love the Titans wide receivers, specifically Nate Washington. I’ll say when picking between Titans receivers you’re playing with fire because anyone can have the big day. In the last four weeks Washington has received the most targets and the most stable percentage of targets.

If Jordy Nelson is out for tomorrow’s game in London, Randall Cobb is a top 10 wide receiver and James Jones is a top 15 play.

I’m the lowest on Steve Smith (35) for the following reasons: A) Cam Newton has been less than stellar. B) He has yet to score a touchdown and only has 3 red zone targets (12% of overall red zone targets). C) The Bears defense. D) This is a hunch but I think they’re going to run the ball a lot more (at least 40% increase in rushing).
