Fantasy QB Rankings Week 8: Who to start out, sit at quarterback in fantasy soccer

The season is flying alongside, and Week 8 units up as one and not using a ton of byes and damage worries on the quarterback. We welcome quite a few fantasy studs again after their day off and have a bunch of potential sleepers with favorable matchups at our disposal. Our Week 8 fantasy QB rankings are about as stacked as you are going to discover this time of 12 months.

Derek Carr and Lamar Jackson are off the desk this week as a consequence of byes, however we welcome again Josh Allen (vs. Dolphins), Dak Prescott (@ Vikings) — assuming his calf damage is healed — and Justin Herbert (vs. Patriots), amongst others. Now you can transfer these guys again into your lineups to by no means be touched once more. Tom Brady (@ Saints) and Herbert (vs. Patriots) are the one top-tier studs with matchup considerations, however as all the time, they need to nonetheless be began.

WEEK 8 PPR RANKINGS:
Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

There are a ton of men on the start-or-sit bubble who do have attraction this week. Teddy Bridgewater (vs. Washington), Daniel Jones (@ Chiefs), Jameis Winston (vs. Buccaneers), Carson Wentz (vs. Titans), Sam Darnold (@ Falcons), and Ryan Tannehill (@ Colts) are the highest guys on the checklist. For those who do not already personal Tannehill, this implies nothing to you as a result of he is not accessible in most leagues. Nonetheless, all the opposite guys talked about are no less than considerably attainable on most waiver wires. Chances are high, you possibly can scoop considered one of these guys when you’re searching for a streamer. All of them sq. off with bottom-10 defenses in opposition to QBs. (Quarterbacks listed so as from the worst protection to finest protection). We perceive when you’re itching to play Trevor Lawrence (@ Seahawks), however we like a few of the different choices with safer flooring extra.

WEEK 8 STANDARD RANKINGS:
Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

Matt Ryan (vs. Panthers), Joe Burrow (@ Jets), and Tua Tagovailoa (@ Payments) are amongst QBs with matchup considerations who truly make us hesitate. Ryan has been a boom-or-bust candidate all through his profession — with zero speeding upside — and though Carolina’s protection has struggled in current weeks, its entrance seven ought to outmatch Atlanta’s offensive line and make Ryan’s life depressing. Tua has proven he can put up large numbers in good matchups, however we do not belief him in Buffalo.

Burrow is a barely more durable name. The Jets’ cross protection has impressed most weeks. The truth is, heading into Week 7, New York had allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy factors per sport to quarterbacks previous to permitting Mac Jones’ strong day. If the Jets protection performs in addition to it might, that is clearly dangerous news for Burrow. Nonetheless, given what we have seen from Burrow and the Bengals’ offense this 12 months, we will not suggest benching him. It is extra possible he is nearer to the elite, “must-start” class.

It’s price noting Bridgewater appeared hobbled on Thursday Evening Soccer in opposition to Cleveland, so his damage standing ought to be monitored. Moreover, Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) has an opportunity to return to follow this week, so he is likely to be in play quickly, although we would not contact him in opposition to the Rams. The identical goes for Baker Mayfield (left shoulder) if he returns in opposition to the Steelers.

A lot of you could have survived the brutal bye week at QB and may have a “must-start” man slotted within the lineup for the remainder of the season. Accidents, COVID problems, and future bye weeks will proceed to shake issues up. We’ll make sense of all of it each week, so proceed to verify again for our weekly fantasy QB rankings.

Be aware: We’ll be updating these QB rankings all through the week, so verify again for the most recent participant motion and evaluation.
