It's Week 8 of the 2017 season. And as we pass the halfway point for several teams, the standings are starting to crystallize, both in the NFL and your fantasy league.
As is usually the case, those two coincide. The teams gaining some separation in their divisions' standings generally feature some consistent fantasy contributors. On a week-to-week basis, they often have a top performer.
Did that trend hold in Week 8? Tables below show the standings, as well as results and each game's top performer.
