The fantasy football world has lagged behind when it comes to effectively measuring the impact blocking has on fantasy production, so last year, I devised a grading system that uses multiple advanced metrics to project how blocking matchups will impact fantasy football performance in the upcoming week's contests. (The details of the system can be found here.)
The entire list of the Week 8 overall matchup grades are posted below, along with a detailed look at how those blocking grades could impact certain start-sit decisions this week. Subjects here include if Marlon Mack will repeat last week's superb performance, whether New England running backs can be trusted in a Week 8 lineup, and start-sit suggestions on Chris Carson, Alex Collins and the Eagles' passing game.
(Note: The metrics and rankings listed below are for Weeks 3-7).
