Welcome to Week 8, fantasy fans! It’s the third week of the season with four teams on a bye: the 49ers, Giants, Saints and Texans. That leaves fantasy managers without one of the top fantasy quarterbacks, Brock Purdy, along with no Tyler Shough, C.J. Stroud or J.J. McCarthy.
This week’s rankings include some risers in Dak Prescott and Kyler Murray, and there are a few good streaming options based on the matchups—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em for all the details! A few quarterbacks have also seen their value fall, including Patrick Mahomes and Bo Nix. They face off this weekend in an important AFC West battle in Denver. Both have bad matchups.
Here are my fantasy quarterback rankings as we head into Week 8. Check back on a regular basis for updates, especially after the final team injury reports come out late in the week!
