Running Backs
Top Handcuffs
DeAndre Washington/Jalen Richard, OAK- The suspension to Marshawn Lynch will leave the Raiders choosing between Washington and Richard in Week 8 against the Bills. I tend to lean towards Richard here as he same the same amount of carries as Washington in Week 7 but is also involved in the team's passing attack.
Dion Lewis, NE- Lewis has surpassed Mike Gillislee as the team's running back and the return of Rex Burkhead has cut into the carries that Gillislee is seeing as well. Lewis has lead the Patriots rushing attack in each of the last two weeks and has scored a touchdown in two of the last four.
Chris Thompson, WAS- While Robert Kelley was active in Week 7 the Redskins are seemingly set on making Thompson their feature back. He currently leads the team in rushing and receiving yards as he continues to have a breakout season.
Wide Receivers
Top Handcuffs
Josh Doctson, WAS- The upside with Doctson is immense and seeing as starters Terrell Pryor and Jameson Crowder are struggling to connect with quarterback Kirk Cousins I think Doctson has a shot at seeing more targets heading into Week 8.
Ted Ginn, NO- Ginn is really enjoying his time with the Saints and in Week 7 he had one of the best games of his career, catching seven passes for 141 yards. With Willie Snead dealing with injury Ginn has likely surpassed him on the depth chart given his recent performances.
Robert Woods, STL- While Sammy Watkins might have the name recognition it has been Robert Woods that is enjoying the most success in the Rams offense this season, catching 27 passes for 381 yards which both lead the team.

A.J. Derby, DEN- Derby has seen 16 targets over the last three weeks and with Emmanuel Sanders on the mend he could find himself more involved in the Broncos passing attack moving forwrad. On the year Derby has caught 15 passes for 190 yards and one touchdown. His 190 yards is good for third on the team.
