Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings: Wide Receivers

Christian Kirk enters WR1 territory.

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 wideout, Christian Kirk moves into the top 15 ahead of a good matchup against the Steelers. Terry McLaurin has had a lot of success in his career against the Eagles, pushing him into the top 15, too. Davante Adams remains in the top 10, but barely, and his teammate, Jakobi Meyers is a top-20 option against the Lions.

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