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 running backs Jahmyr Gibbs, Ashton Jeanty, Kyren Williams, Travis Etienne Jr., Kenneth Walker III, Zach Charbonnet, David Montgomery, and Bam Knight.

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 at RB include D’Andre Swift, Cam Skattebo and Rachaad White, all of whom have very favorable matchups heading into the week. On the flip side, Chuba Hubbard and Tony Pollard have taken a tumble into the low-end RB2/flex area due to a decline in snaps, touches and fantasy points in recent weeks.

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

Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!

All Positions: QBs | WRs | TEs | FLEX | DEFs | Ks
