The worst of the bye weeks have arrived for fantasy football players. Six teams are on bye in Week 8: the Rams, Dolphins, Giants, Steelers, 49ers and Ravens.Six more teams get a bye in Week 9 and four in Week 10, meaning its time to dig deep. If you play on ESPN, take note that Packers wide receiver Ty Montgomery now has eligibility as a running back on the site.Here are some players to consider adding in Week 8.---RYAN FITZPATRICK (QB, Jets)There arent many appealing options for quarterbacks to stream this week. Fitzpatrick has a great matchup against the Browns, who have allowed multiple touchdowns in every game this season and 18 overall.MATT ASIATA (RB, Vikings)Jerick McKinnon injured his ankle in Week 7 and Asiata received more touches. Asiata has double-digit carries in each of the last two games and is the short-yardage back and theres always a chance for him to get a touchdown. Asiata had 12 carries for 55 yards and six catches for 25 yards on eight targets on Sunday.DEVONTAE BOOKER (RB, Broncos)The Broncos said they wanted to get Booker more involved in the offense and they did on Monday night. He had 17 carries for 83 yards with a touchdown and should be owned in all leagues.CHRIS THOMPSON (RB, Redskins)Thompson took over as the main back after Matt Jones had fumbling issues on Sunday with his third fumble in five games. Thompson had 12 carries for 73 yards and caught seven passes for 40 yards. He can help in point-per-reception formats because of his ability to catch the ball. He has at least eight points in PPR formats in six of seven games and his role could increase. Rob Kelley will be in the mix, too.JACQUIZZ RODGERS (RB, Buccaneers)Surprisingly, he is still available in some leagues. There is no return date set for Doug Martin and Rodgers has 62 touches the last two games. Teammate Peyton Barber is an option in deeper leagues.MIKE GILLISLEE (RB, Bills)LeSean McCoy played on a bad hamstring and not surprisingly it forced him out of the game on Sunday. His status is unclear for Week 8, but if hes out Gillislee will get a big workload for a team that features the running game.DWAYNE WASHINGTON (RB, Lions)Washington is still out with an injury, but no one in the Lions backfield has stepped up to take the job. Washington will get a shot when he is ready to return so keep him on the radar.KADEEM CAREY (RB, Bears)Carey is getting more involved in the offense with 20 touches the last two weeks. He had 10 carries for 48 yards last week.Donte Moncrief (WR, Colts)Just a reminder that Moncrief is getting closer to a return from his shoulder injury. If hes available and you have room, stash him on the bench. The Colts need him badly and hes slated to practice this week.JAMISON CROWDER (WR, Redskins)Crowder has reached at least 12 points in PPR formats in three straight games. He caught seven passes for 108 yards on nine targets and with the Redskins having problems throwing the ball deep, it is opening up more targets for Crowder.DAVANTE ADAMS (WR, Packers)Adams caught 13 of 16 targets for 132 yards and two touchdowns last week against the Bears. He wont have many big games, but Adams has scored in four of six games and had at least 50 yards in three games. The Packers are built to be a pass-heavy team.TY MONTGOMERY (WR, Packers)After Montgomery caught 10 of 12 targets for 98 yards in Week 6, Montgomery was used in the backfield heavily again last week with Eddie Lacy and James Starks injured. Montgomery had nine carries for 66 yards and caught 10 of 13 targets for 66 yards.MARQISE LEE (WR, Jaguars)Its difficult to trust the Jaguars offense with how poorly Blake Bortles is playing, but Lee leads the Jaguars with 29 receptions and is second in receiving yards with 337.CORDARRELLE PATTERSON (WR, Vikings)Patterson is good in space and after the catch. He has at least six targets in three straight games and scored in two consecutive games. He caught all seven of his targets for 67 yards and a score in Week 7.JACK DOYLE (TE, Colts)As long as Dwayne Allen remains out, Doyle is in play. The Colts likes to use the tight end and they are lacking weapons at receiver. Doyle caught four passes for 53 yards with a touchdown in Week 6 when Allen missed most of the game and had 10 targets, catching nine passes for 78 yards and a touchdown on Sunday.VERNON DAVIS (TE, Redskins)Davis has filled in well for Jordan Reed, who missed his second straight week with a concussion. If Reed is out in Week 8, Davis is in play again. Davis caught all six of his targets for 79 yards in Week 8 and scored the week before.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com Cheap Air Max Wholesale . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good.

A voice vote in the City Council gave the team permission to move forward with plans that will dramatically change the ballpark experience on Chicagos north side. The most notable alteration is the 5,700-square-foot video scoreboard in left field -- roughly three times the size of the iconic manual one in centre, which will remain in operation as well. The team also will be able to erect a large advertising sign in right field, double the size of the cramped clubhouse, improve player training facilities in the bowels of the ballpark and build a 175-room hotel across the street. Some fans say the upgrades are almost as overdue as a Cubs World Series championship (which last happened in 1908 -- eight years before the team moved into Wrigley). "Why would you not want any of the improvements that have come over the last 60-70 years?" asked Dutchie Caray, the widow of the famed announcer Harry Caray, whose leading the fans in Take Me Out To The Ball Game helped turn Wrigley into the huge attraction it is today. "Would you ask someone not to have television because they didnt have television in the old days (or) want to travel by horse and buggy to the West Coast?" Besides, she said of the Jumbotron, "I kind of like the idea of being able to see where a guy (umpire) blew a call." Collectively, the changes -- some of which could be completed as early as next season -- represent the most dramatic additions since at least 1988, when the Cubs became the last team in the majors to install lights. That change sparked a battle even more fierce than the one over the Jumbotron. In the decades since Wrigley became the Cubs home, the park has not always aged gracefully; the team once even installed nets to catch concrete falling from the upper deck. Although Wednesdays action was the last step in the long approval process, still unresolved is a dispute between the team and owners of the famous rooftops overlooking the field. The teams owner said Wednesday that the threat of a lawsuit could potentially delay the upgrade. Barring that, though, the councils approval Wednesday was the final chapter in a decades-old tug-of-war between the team and its neighbours. During public hearings, some fans urged the city to let the Cubs modernize Wrigley, while others argued the charm of going to the ballpark would be lost. "They had to modeernize, for the team and for the comfort of the fans" said Clay Goss, a 53-yeaer-old trader after he was told of the deal Wednesday afternoon.dddddddddddd "Baseball is having a hard time getting younger fans and keeping them, and (while) Im not a fan of the Jumbotron, kids like it." After the Ricketts family bought the team in 2009, it made the argument that the ballpark needed to change. Although the Ricketts defended the brick-and-ivy walls and manual scoreboard, they said they were running a business and not a museum. Initially, the team wanted public help to pay for the project, but that effort failed. Then the team said it would pay for the entire project. But, team officials said, if they were going to do that, they needed the city to allow it to erect the Jumbotron and other revenue-generating signs that would help pay for the project. Ricketts tried to convince fans that making the renovations would help the Cubs contend again. They havent been to the World Series since 1945, the year of the infamous billy goat curse that some superstitious fans still blame for the drought. The signs became the most contentious part of the proposed renovation project, both because they would change the look of the ballpark and because they were seen as threats to the rooftop businesses across the street. The owners, who charge fans to sit on bleachers they erected on top of the buildings, argue that any sign cutting into their views threatens the existence of their businesses. Tom Tunney, the alderman whose ward includes Wrigley, said he finally agreed to support the project Tuesday after the Cubs agreed not to put up any more outfield signs for the 10 years left on a contract that calls for the rooftop owners to pay a chunk of their revenue to the team. But after the vote, team chairman Tom Ricketts issued a statement that made it clear the dispute between the Cubs and the rooftop owners isnt over. He even raised questions about when the Cubs would begin what is expected to be a five-year construction project. "We look forward to beginning construction on our $500 million plan, but before we do, we must resolve once and for all the threat of litigation and the enforcement of existing rooftop ordinances and long term certainty over control of our outfield," Ricketts said. The Wrigleyville Rooftops Association declined to comment about Ricketts statement. But rooftop owner Max Waisvisz all but promised the Cubs will find themselves in court if what they build hurts his view and his business. "What they need is a little lawsuit," Waisvisz said. "Thats the only thing these guys listen to." ' ' '
