It seems like every day is some kind of “holiday.”

October 2nd was National Smarties Day. October 5th was National Get Funky Day. October 15th was National Shawarma Day. The third Saturday in October is National Whole Hog Barbecue Day. (Um…ok). You understand what's important, right?

Well, October 27th also has its own name, and NFL offenses and their quarterbacks have decided to celebrate it…much to the joy and excitement of fantasy football fans!

With that in mind, here are my Fabs' five storylines from Week 8 that stood out the most. Find the latest news and fantasy advice at Fantasy Dirt five days a week!

Let's celebrate National Tight Ends Day!

The tight end position has been a nightmare this season, but things were looking up on Holiday. A total of 15 tight ends scored at least one touchdown and two, Cade Otton and Kyle Pitts, scored twice! We saw 17 tight ends score in double figures, with 10 scoring more than 14 points, six scoring more than 18 points and five scoring more than 20 points.

Can we celebrate National Tight Ends Day every Sunday?

The most notable performances came from Otton and Pitts, who have been red hot in recent weeks. Otton, who has been targeted 10 times, could end up being a top-10 fantasy tight end until Mike Evans returns (and perhaps beyond). Pitts has scored 64.4 points in his last four games after scoring just 24.5 points in his first four.

Jameis Winston starts against Baltimore

Winston was one of my top waiver wire signings of last week, and his performance against the Ravens proved that was a good decision. The veteran threw for 334 yards and three touchdowns in an upset win that yielded 23.6 fantasy points.

That's the most points he's scored in a game since Week 5… in 2021!

Winston is an all-league addition, as is his teammate Cedric Tillman, who was also in the waiver column last week. He had another great game, catching seven passes for 99 yards with two touchdowns and scoring a career-best 28.9 points. He has now scored 47 fantasy points in his last two games and looks like the Browns' new No. 1 wide receiver after Amari Cooper was traded to Buffalo.

Patrick Mahomes hits pay dirt in Sin City

I've criticized Mahomes for his lack of fantasy value this season, and with good reason. Hell, he hadn't thrown a touchdown pass before a game against the Raiders in October.

Well, Mahomes (listed as the starter this week) finally looked like his old fantasy superstar with two touchdown passes and 18.2 points. It was the first time he scored more than 18 points since Week 12 of last season!

Looking ahead, Mahomes should field another big line next week when the Chiefs host Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At this point, however, you may want to sell Mahomes high before he has some tougher matchups down the stretch against the Broncos, Bills and Chargers.

Jalen hurts so well in fantasy leagues

After a slow start to the season, Hurts is finally looking like an elite fantasy quarterback. He entered this week with over 21 consecutive points and surpassed that statistic in a win over the Bengals. The veteran threw for a modest 236 yards with one touchdown, but he hit the ground running for 37 yards and three touchdowns. That was good for the season's best of 35.1 points. Hurts should continue to dominate in Week 9 as he faces one of the league's most vulnerable defenses against quarterbacks, the Jaguars.

Tua Tagovailoa returns to work, but…

It's the day fantasy managers have been waiting for with De'Von Achane, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle… Tua is back! So all our problems are solved (right)? Well, that was the case with Achane, who had 97 rushing yards, six catches for 50 yards with a touchdown and 26.7 points. It was his best game since the demise of Tagovailoa. That's the good news. The bad news? Hill and Waddle still weren't great. The Cheetah was better, but only scored 13.2 points in a plus match. Waddle might as well have been intercepting passes from Skylar Thompson because he only scored 8.5 points. Things should get better for Hill (I'd bet my last money on it), but I'm not sure Waddle is anything more than a matchup-based starter…at least until he can string together a few good games in a row…the rest of the year.
