Jerry Jeudy - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, Draft Sleepers

Our updated Week 8 fantasy football Flex rankings (RB, WR, TE) for 2021. Follow these fantasy football FLEX ranks when setting your Week 8 lineups.

Welcome to Week 8 RotoBallers. Below are our updated consensus Week 8 Flex rankings for fantasy football. Choosing the right fantasy football Flex option will be an important factor for many teams in a tricky week filled with byes and injuries. Speaking of which, included below some running notes on relevant injuries, player news and rankings updates. These fantasy football Flex rankings are geared towards making decisions for your Flex spot (RB/WR or RB/WR/TE), which in most leagues consists of running backs, wide receivers and in many cases tight ends as well:

These rankings are a consensus from four of our lead fantasy football columnists - Nick MarianoPierre Camus, Brandon Murchison and Scott Engel - who have all analyzed the NFL matchups and game slates for Week 8.

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!
