Fab's Five Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Streamers For Week 8: Start Wan'Dale Robinson

Streaming candidates for Week 8 include Wan’Dale Robinson, Romeo Doubs, Troy Franklin, Tez Johnson and Alec Pierce. Punters: consider Robinson or Doubs for WR receiving-yard or fantasy-point overs in favorable matchups (Eagles, Steelers). Franklin and Pierce offer contrarian upside in high-scoring games; Tez Johnson could see added targets with an injured starter. Betting angle: target WR fantasy/receiving-yard overs and single-game player props in these soft defensive matchups.

Week 8 Fantasy Football WR Streamers: Low-Ownership Targets With Big Upside

This week’s streamer board highlights five wide receivers rostered in fewer than half of leagues who could deliver immediate fantasy value — and present tempting player-prop opportunities for bettors. Matchup context, recent usage and game-script scenarios drive the recommendations.

Wan’Dale Robinson at Eagles (38% rostered)

Robinson has been red-hot the last two weeks, totaling 35.9 fantasy points on 19 targets. The Eagles have shown vulnerability to opposing wide receivers, with multiple pass-catchers posting double-digit fantasy totals this season. Robinson’s recent target volume and this matchup make him a high-floor streamer and an appealing player-prop pick (receptions/receiving yards or fantasy points over).

Romeo Doubs at Steelers (37.6% rostered)

Doubs has emerged as the top receiving option, drawing at least eight targets in each of his last three games and compiling roughly 53.5 fantasy points in that span. Pittsburgh has surrendered meaningful production to opposing wideouts, making Doubs a viable start and a strong candidate for over-target or over-yardage props.

Troy Franklin vs. Cowboys (9.4% rostered)

Franklin and Marvin Mims Jr. stand out as contrarian plays in a favorable matchup against Dallas. Only one team has allowed more fantasy points per game to receivers than the Cowboys, and Dallas opponents have produced several high-scoring receiver outings. Franklin offers upside for managers chasing ceiling performances and for bettors seeking long-odds upside on single-game receiving props.

Tez Johnson at Saints (8.1% rostered)

Johnson has become fantasy-relevant over the past two weeks, collecting 12 targets and 27.3 fantasy points. With a top receiver sidelined, Johnson’s target share should expand, making him a viable flex option. Bettors can look at short-term props (targets, receptions) or game-parlay leverage if the matchup projects to be pass-heavy.

Alec Pierce vs. Titans (2.1% rostered)

Pierce produced 14.8 fantasy points in last week’s win and offers upside if Josh Downs is unavailable. Tennessee has allowed the ninth-most points to perimeter receivers, and Pierce has previously outproduced them. He’s a low-ownership streamer with touchdown upside — a useful contrarian play and a speculative receiving-yardage or TD prop target.

How to Use These Streamers for Betting and Lineup Decisions

Consider correlating fantasy-start decisions with player-prop markets: target overs on receptions, receiving yards or fantasy-point props for high-target players (Robinson, Doubs) and contrarian touchdown or yardage props for low-owned upside plays (Franklin, Pierce). Monitor injury reports late in the week — increased roles due to teammates’ absences (especially at receiver or tight end) amplify both fantasy and betting value.
