Week 8 ranks: QB | RB | WR | TE | K | Team D | Flex

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. None of their team defenses are high-end options.

This week’s rankings include some risers in the Bengals and Jaguars defenses. There are a few streaming options based on the matchups—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em for all the details!

Here are my fantasy team defense 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!
