Week 8 ranks: QB | RB | WR | TE | K | Team D | Flex

Welcome to Week 8, fantasy fans! It’s the third week of the season with four teams on a bye: the 49ers, Giants, Saints and Texans. That leaves fantasy managers without fantasy superstars Malik Nabers, Chris Olave and Nico Collins, along with Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr.

This week’s rankings include some risers in Parker Washington and Matthew Golden. There are also a number of streaming options based on the matchups—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em for all the details! Other wideouts are dealing with injuries, including DeVonta Smith, and others, like A.J. Brown and Ladd McConkey, are falling due to a recent lack of high-end production. 

Here are my fantasy wide receiver rankings as we head into Week 8. Check back on a regular basis for updates, especially after the final team injury reports come out late in the week!
