If your fantasy football squad went up against a Bengals stack in Week 8, you probably started to look ahead to next week before the late afternoon games even kicked off.

At quarterback, Joe Burrow (42.5 points) outscored Bryce Young, Jared Goff, Matthew Stafford, Aaron Rodgers, Jacoby Brissett and Lamar Jackson ... combined. Running back didn't feature any Bengals madness, but it did have Tyler Allgeier post more points (33.6) than the combined totals of Kenneth Walker III, Bijan Robinson, Javonte Williams, Jonathan Taylor and Jeremiyah Love. Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase at the WR1 and WR2, respectively, with MNF pending. The WR3 is Adonai Mitchell ... as we all expected. Finally, the Bengals had two tight ends (Mike Gesicki and Jack Endries) who outscored everyone in this group: Dallas Goedert, Sam LaPorta, Hunter Henry, Tyler Warren, Tyler Higbee and Kyle Pitts. Fun.
