Welcome to Week 8 RotoBallers. We just got through last week's bye-mageddon, but are back with our early Week 8 fantasy football rankings. We are already starting up our rankings and analysis for Week 8 of the fantasy football season. As always, we are here to constantly bring you updated player news and rankings to help you set your optimal lineups, and it looks like there will already be challenges to deal with including Davante Adams and Allen Lazard hitting the COVID-19 list for Thursday's game. Let's roll the tape:
- Jerry Jeudy Will Return In Week 8
- Davante Adams Placed On COVID-19 List
- Allen Lazard Joins Davante Adams On COVID-19 List
- Packers Not Ruling Out Marquez Valdes-Scantling For Thursday
- Baker Mayfield Expected To Practice Wednesday
- Cowboys Confident In Dak Prescott's Status
- Darren Waller Considered Day-To-Day
- Miles Sanders "Week-To-Week" With A Low-End Ankle Sprain
- Michael Gallup Designated To Return From Injured Reserve
- Kadarius Toney Could Return In Week 8
- Wil Lutz Done For The Season
- Cam Akers Could Return In The Playoffs
- Trey Lance "On Pace" to Practice Wednesday
Note that quarterbacks, defenses and kickers are all grouped separately towards the bottom. Each of those positions is ranked on their own. This is to allow owners to compare running backs, wide receivers and tight ends for their FLEX spot (without seeing QB, DEF, K mixed in).
And in case you weren't aware, our very own Nick Mariano was ranked #11 overall in 2018 out of ~120 industry experts, and was ranked #9 overall the year before. So be sure to follow his rankings every week!
