Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings: Flex (RB/WR/TE)

Khalil Herbert is emerging as one of the lone bright spots in the Bears' uneven offense.

Welcome to Week 8 of the 2021 NFL season! We're now not quite halfway through the schedule and you know whether your team is a contender or a pretender. But that doesn't mean we can't squeak out a few wins and make a run into your league's postseason

Remember to always churn those last couple bench spots to make sure you're bringing your best options to your lineup. Every lineup spot counts! Check out Jen Piacenti's Week 8 waiver wire pickups for guidance on who to target.
