Week 8 Advance Player Stat of the Week | QB Rate vs Zone
Our advanced stat of the week is QB Rate vs Zone, a metric that measures how effective a quarterback is when facing zone coverage.
Why does it matter? Because most NFL defenses rely heavily on zone schemes, meaning this stat highlights which quarterbacks thrive against the coverage they’ll see most often.
From a fantasy perspective, a high QB Rate vs Zone suggests a passer is more consistent week-to-week—especially against teams that prioritize discipline and coverage disguise over man-to-man matchups. Quarterbacks who struggle vs zone can be matchup-dependent, while those who excel are often reliable fantasy starters regardless of opponent.
(Tap to Continue) Week 8 Advanced Stat of the Week | QB Rate vs Zone
When we look at the top 12 fantasy quarterbacks on a per-game basis, the correlation becomes clear — most of them excel against zone coverage. In fact, 7 of the top 12 fantasy QBs also rank inside the top 12 in QB Rate vs Zone this season. Some of the best performers in this metric include Lamar Jackson, Dak Prescott, and Patrick Mahomes — all of whom consistently carve up zone defenses.
Even more telling, nearly all of the top fantasy quarterbacks have a QB Rate vs Zone that ranks 17th or better, showing that elite fantasy production often goes hand-in-hand with strong efficiency versus zone coverage.

The one quarterback who stands out for the wrong reasons is Bo Nix, who holds just a 79.3 QB Rate vs Zone, the lowest among the current top 12 fantasy quarterbacks. For comparison, the next lowest among that group is Matthew Stafford at 94.0, which shows just how much Nix lags behind his peers in this area.
Despite those struggles, Nix continues to find ways to produce in fantasy, largely thanks to his rushing ability and efficiency on designed plays. His legs and red-zone usage help offset his inconsistency as a passer against zone coverage.
On the flip side, there are quarterbacks who excel vs zone and could be great trade targets heading into Week 8. Two names that stand out are Jared Goff (111.0) and Sam Darnold (106.6) Both rank inside the top five in QB Rate vs Zone. These are the types of passers who can sustain fantasy consistency even in tougher matchups, especially when facing defenses that rely heavily on zone schemes.

- Keon Coleman: The Bills receiver has some sleeper appeal as the Panthers have allowed outside receivers to gain 100 yards in 3 of their last 4 outings.

San Francisco 49ers (5-2) @ Houston Texans (2-4)
Key Advanced Player Stats | Starts/Sit
- 49ers QBs: Whoever plays quarterback for the 49ers in Week 8 will likely struggle against the Texans’ zone coverage, which has allowed the lowest QB rate (56.6%) in zone coverage. Neither Brock Purdy nor Mac Jones has performed well against zone defenses.
- Woody Marks: Could have some sleeper appeal this week as the 49ers have allowed the 5th most receptions and 3rd most receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs. Marks have proven to be a valuable weapon in the passing game when utilized effectively.

Key Advanced Player Stats | Starts/Sit
- Patrick Mahomes: Expect Mahomes to continue his elite season as he faces the Commanders, who allow the highest QB rate(110.1%) to opposing quarterbacks in zone coverage. Mahomes has been dominant against zone coverage all season.
- Commanders WRs: The receivers for the Commanders may struggle to find upside with Marcus Mariota at quarterback, especially considering the Chiefs have only allowed 7 endzone targets this season.

FAQ | Week 8 Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advanced Data
Q1: How can I use advanced stats to make better start/sit decisions in Week 8 fantasy football?
A: In Week 8, focus on players showing consistent usage despite bye weeks and injuries. Metrics like TGT% (Target Share), XFP/G (Expected Fantasy Points per Game), and Off. Snaps/G (Offensive Snaps per Game) reveal who’s earning steady opportunity. Players with strong i20% (Inside 20 Rushing Share) or EZ TGT (End Zone Targets), such as emerging red-zone options filling in for injured starters, carry extra start/sit value this week.
Q2: Which advanced stats are most valuable for evaluating quarterbacks in Week 8?
A: Quarterbacks facing pressure-heavy defenses should be judged by Press% (Pressure Rate) and CPOE (Completion Percentage Over Expectation). High ANY/A (Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt) and FP/DB (Fantasy Points per Dropback) identify efficient fantasy scorers. For example, QBs with rising SCRM/G (Scrambles per Game) rates—often replacing injured starters—gain rushing floor that makes them safer Week 8 streamers.
Q3: What advanced stats can reveal breakout wide receivers for Week 8?
A: Use TPRR (Targets Per Route Run) and ADOT (Average Depth of Target) to find receivers whose usage roles are expanding after midseason adjustments. A player with a high YAC% (Yards After Catch Percentage) and improving Zone Win Rate can outperform expectations in soft zone coverage matchups this week. These metrics are perfect for spotting sneaky DFS values and WR3 start candidates.
Q4: Which running back stats matter most for Week 8 fantasy football lineups?
A: With several backfields in flux, ATT% (Team Carry Share) and Touches/G highlight who’s truly leading their team. High i5% (Inside 5 Rushing Share) numbers show touchdown upside, while MTF/ATT (Missed Tackles Forced per Attempt) and YACO/ATT (Yards After Contact per Attempt) reveal who’s creating yards on their own. This week, rising workloads for mid-tier RBs with strong efficiency could swing matchups.
Q5: How can I use AdStats data for DFS and prop bets in Week 8?
A: Look for players with elite ADOT and YAC% when building DFS tournament lineups—they offer explosive upside. For prop bets, focus on TGT/G (Targets Per Game) and TD/G (Touchdowns Per Game) trends, especially for players seeing expanded roles in high-total games. Efficient QBs with low Press% or WRs dominating EZ TGTs are prime targets to hit yardage or touchdown overs this week.
Q6: What does the Confidence Meter mean for Week 8 fantasy football lineups?
A: The Confidence Meter grades the trust level in each start/sit recommendation based on recent usage, matchup data, and efficiency trends. A high rating means alignment between Touches/G, FP/DB, and CPOE, indicating stability. In Week 8, this helps separate dependable starts from volatile flex plays—vital during heavy bye weeks and injury replacements.
Trivia Answer | With 551 total yards so far this season, Rico Dowdle is averaging 5.6 YPC. Followed by Josh Allen (5.5 YPC). (click to return)
