Injuries are a constant in the NFL but the current QB situation right now in the league seems a bit extra. We’re looking at Joe Flacco, Andy Dalton, Marcus Mariota, Tyrod Taylor, and Carson Wentz as starters this week. What is this, 2018?

All the good vibes for a swift recovery for all those injured signal callers and anyone else sidelined right now and working their way back.

Below are the players giving the best or worst fantasy vibes ahead of Week 8 around the NFL.

Good Vibes

Quarterbacks

Bo Nix vs. Cowboys

Coming off an incredible 40.0 fantasy point performance last week, which was mostly posted in the last quarter, Bo Nix has a sweet matchup this week to keep those vibes going. Dallas sits dead last in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed (aFPA) to QBs this season, yielding 25.1 per week to the position. This contest has the highest over/under of this week, currently set at 50.5, which adds to his appeal as a top 10 signal caller in Week 8.

Dak Prescott @ Broncos

I’m going with the other side of the ball here as my other good viber this week. Dak Prescott is the QB2 over the last four weeks, throwing for 1,081 yards, 13 touchdowns, and zero interceptions. While the Broncos seem like a tough matchup, they let Jaxson Dart torch them for 28.4 fantasy points last week, and Jalen Hurts was able to post a 23-280-2 line against them in Week 5. He has too many weapons for Denver to contain, so Prescott also has top 10 potential this week.
