Welcome to Week 8!

This is our first “bye-mageddon,” as six teams (the Cardinals, Lions, Jaguars, Raiders, Rams and Seahawks) are all off the board. That leaves us without kickers Jake Bates, Cam Little, Chad Ryland, Daniel Carlson, Jason Myers and Joshua Karty.

For the first time since Week 3, there is no international game on the NFL schedule ... so feel free to sleep in on the West Coast!

This week’s risers in the kicker rankings include Will Reichard, Evan McPherson and Parker Romo, all of whom have very favorable matchups heading into the week. On the flip side, typical fantasy starters such as Ka’imi Fairbairn, Matt Gay and Jake Elliott face tougher opponents or haven’t been able to live up to expectations in recent weeks.

With that said, here are my complete fantasy football kickers rankings for the eighth week of the NFL season.

Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
