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 tight ends Trey McBride, Brock Bowers, Sam LaPorta, Michael Mayer and A.J. Barner.

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 TE include Tucker Kraft, Dalton Kincaid, and Kyle Pitts Sr., all of whom have very favorable matchups heading into the week. On the flip side, players like Mark Andrews and Hunter Henry have struggled to produce in the stat sheets, leaving them as very risky fantasy starters in most leagues.

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

Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
