Fantasy Football PPR Player Rankings for Week 8

Michael Fabiano | 2 Hours Ago

Fantasy Player Rankings: Week 8 / Sports Illustrated

Another week, another long list of superstar fantasy players who were injured. This was a particularly painful week for managers, as Jayden Daniels, Chris Godwin, Brandon Aiyuk, and Mike Evans were all injured, and both Godwin and Aiyuk have been lost for the season. That means fantasy fans will be looking to the waiver wire and for sleepers even more.

With that said, here’s my positional PPR player rankings for Week 8.

There are some major movers this week, including Caleb Williams (up), Tony Pollard (down), George PIckens (up) and Sam LaPorta (down). For those who need help with tough calls between players with similar value or with terrific Week 8 matchups, I’m here for you!

And when you're done reviewing the rankings, you still won't want to set your starting lineup without checking out my Start Em, Sit Em columns at every position:

QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | K & DEFs
