Week 8 Rankings: Flex (RB/WR/TE)

Welcome to Week 8 of the fantasy football season!

If you survived “bye-maggedon,” you’ll have an easier time with your starting lineups this week with no teams on a bye. I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system, which you can use in coordination with the Week 8 edition of Start Em, Sit Em.

At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

Among the running backs, Alvin Kamara has re-claimed elite status and Jahmyr Gibbs is a top-10 option against the Raiders with David Montgomery out. Bijan Robinson drops into the RB2 range after last week’s bizarre situation plus a bad matchup in Tennessee up next. Kareem Hunt, who figures to start in the absence of Jerome Ford, is also a mover in a positive direction against the Seahawks.

At wideout, Christian Kirk moves into the top 15 ahead of a good matchup against the Steelers. Terry McLaurin has had a lot of success in his career against the Eagles, pushing him into the top 15, too. Davante Adams remains in the top 10, but barely, and his teammate, Jakobi Meyers is a top-20 option against the Lions.

At tight end, Dalton Schultz is back in the top 10 after a bye and Jake Ferguson is worth a look for those in need based on a plus matchup against the Rams. Taysom Hill, who has had two good games in a row, is now a top-15 option at the position.

Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck everyone!
