Week 8 Standard Rankings (Top 300)

Week Eight tiered fantasy football standard rankings for the 2016 NFL season. Standard ranks for running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, quarterbacks, defenses and kickers.

What's up RotoBallers. Below you will find our overall Week 8 standard rankings for fantasy football.

Three of our lead fantasy football columnists, Nick Mariano, Bill Dubiel and Ben Ruppert, have analyzed the NFL matchups and game slates for Week 8. Below you will find their consensus staff ranks. Feel free to click those links and give these fine gentlemen a follow, or let them know how much you love or hate their rankings.

Editor's Note: New users that sign up on FantasyAces, make a $20 deposit, and enter any game will receive our full season NFL (or NBA) Premium Pass for free, a $59.99 value. Just email [email protected] with your new FantasyAces username - and boom, that's it! We will email you with your Premium pass.

Editor's Note: Stay on top of your draft prep with RotoBaller’s fantasy football rankings, featuring expert analysis, ADPs, and draft insights for both PPR and non-PPR leagues.

 

Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings (Standard)

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).
