Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings: Running Backs
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.
Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck everyone!
