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 quarterbacks Kyler Murray, Jared Goff, Trevor Lawrence, Geno Smith, Matthew Stafford and Sam Darnold.

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 QB risers include Bo Nix, Baker Mayfield, and Caleb Williams, all of whom have very favorable matchups heading into the week. We’re also going to see a few backups in line to start this week, including Marcus Mariota, Andy Dalton and possibly Tyrod Taylor (the Jets have named him their Week 8 starter).

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

Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
