Fantasy Football Week 8 Rankings: Top 50 Flex Players for Standard, PPR Formats

Filling a fantasy football lineup only gets tougher as the year progresses, but Week 8 might be the hardest all season with six teams on bye.

The Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants all have the week off, which takes away several of the top players across the league. Can you win without Le'Veon Bell or Odell Beckham Jr.—or even the red-hot Jay Ajayi?

The good thing about the NFL is there are always players available to take their place. Some of them feature more risk than what you are used to seeing, but the upside makes it worth the start when you need a win.
