The List: Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 8

Series Navigation

Quietly having a WR1 season, Courtland Sutton has the perfect setup to do something he hasn’t done yet this year: go nuclear. Top 10 implied team total and game total? Check. Facing the finest matchup in fantasy for receivers? Yup. Nearly 20% target share? You bet’cha. I wouldn’t be shocked to see Sutton finish the week as the WR1. –Jay Felicio

The receiving group ate like it was a Thanksgiving buffet in Week 7. Rashee Rice exploded back into the lineup with 7 receptions on 7 targets for 42 yards and 2 touchdowns, showing zero rust. Marquise Brown snagged a score on just 2 catches for 14 yards, and Xavier Worthy chipped in 3 receptions for 35 yards plus a 13-yard carry. Rice is a locked-in WR1 and a top 10 start with a top 10 matchup against the Commanders. Worthy and Brown remain highly volatile, with Worthy being more of a WR2 and Brown more of a WR3. –Jay Felicio

Jaylen Waddle was collateral damage of Tua Tagovaloa‘s complete implosion. Waddle registered his worst game of the season with just 1 reception for 15 yards on four targets. He’s a top wideout tethered to a collapsing offense and a (probably) soon-to-be-bench quarterback. Waddle remains a low-end WR2 because he is the lone remaining pass-catching option on a team that will be playing from behind constantly. But heading down to Hotlanta to take on the flaming hot Falcons defense who’s allowing the second fewest fantasy points to the position? He’s bench-able. –Jay Felicio

Drake London has a FANTASTIC matchup on paper, but I have him a tad lower than the rest of my QB List ranking brethren for good reason. Believe it or not, Miami is giving up the sixth fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. What!? Why?! How!? Well, see, when you have an offense scoring less than 20 points per game, and a defense getting steamrolled by the run, and you ALSO happen to have arguably the best running back in the league, chances are you won’t have to throw the ball a whole lot. London is obviously still a must start, but the Dolphins won’t put up enough of a fight to force Michael Penix to air it out. In turn, it limits the Week 8 upside of London. –Jay Felicio
