Which battles should be catching your eye for Week 8 of the fantasy football slate?

Key Matchup	Reason
Matt Forte, RB, CHI vs. CLE DT Shaun Rogers and LB Kaluka Maiava	What an opportunity for Forte owners; can robust NT and fill-in LB stop him from abusing Browns' porous run D?
Mark Clayton, WR, BAL vs. Andre' Goodman, CB, DEN	Goodman's name isn't Champ Bailey, meaning Clayton should be more involved in BAL's aerial offense
Lee Evans, WR, BUF vs. Dunta Robinson, CB, HOU	Evans has rapport with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, but this may be the week Terrell Owens outshines the deep threat
Bo Scaife, TE, TEN vs. Jacksonville Jaguars pass defense	With Vince Young at QB, his former Longhorn mate should see more work; JAC's solid D vs. TEs has good odds to bend this wk
Brett Favre, QB, MIN vs. Atari Bigby, SS, GB	Couldn't resist ... In all seriousness, Bigby allows GB secondary to be more aggressive, something that didn't happen in Wk 4
