Fantasy Football Week 8 Rankings: Top Players, Sleepers and Positional Guide

Week 7 of the 2021 NFL season was heavy on headaches for fantasy football managers.

That was always likely to be the case, as six teams were on a bye, including the league's two highest-scoring offenses (Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings). The headaches only increased as running backs Miles Sanders and Josh Jacobs were lost to injury. Those playing in deep or two-quarterback leagues probably felt the loss of rookie signal-caller Zach Wilson, too.

The good news for Week 8 is only two teams are on a bye, although both the Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders have top-10 scoring averages, so you might still feel a sting.
