Finding the perfect addition to your Fantasy team via the waiver wire can be the difference between winning your league or going home with nothing. And before you determine which players you should target on the waiver wire this week, you absolutely need to see what SportsLine's Pat Fitzmaurice has to say.

Fitzmaurice finished second in FantasyPros' 2017 rankings accuracy contest and received a 2017 Fantasy Sports Writers Association nomination for best football series. He's crushed other experts when given the chance and knows what it takes to win a league.

Now, he's done an in-depth analysis of the best widely available free agents entering Week 8. One we'll give away: Jaguars receiver Donte Moncrief.

"Moncrief's low ownership rate suggests that many of the Fantasy owners who've had him in the past now consider him toxic," Fitzmaurice told SportsLine. "Granted, the Jacksonville passing game isn't luring many investors these days, but Moncrief has racked up 76 or more receiving yards in three of his past four games. He was targeted 10 times against the Texans in Week 7 and had seven grabs for 76 yards."

Fitzmaurice is also all-in on a SHOCKING quarterback who gets a highly favorable matchup this week. Anyone who adds this player could hit it BIG.

So which players should you target on the waiver wire before Week 8? And which SHOCKING quarterback could lead your team to Fantasy glory?...
