Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings: Quarterbacks

C.J. Stroud is back from a bye and ready to pick up where he left off.

Welcome to Week 8 of the fantasy football season!

If you survived “bye-maggedon,” you’ll have an easier time with your starting lineups this week with no teams on a bye. I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system, which you can use in coordination with the Week 8 edition of Start Em, Sit Em.

At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

At the quarterback position, Jared Goff moves back into the top 10 at the position based on a home game against the Raiders. C.J. Stroud is also a fantasy starter coming off a bye week, and I expect Brock Purdy to rebound against the Bengals after he put up a disappointing stat line against the Vikings on Monday night.

Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck everyone!
