Top Week 8 Fantasy football QB rankings
Here's a look at SportsLine's top Week 8 Fantasy football QB picks:
1. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs: Mahomes was on fire against the Chargers last week, completing 32 of 42 passes for 424 yards and four touchdowns. He has now gone over 300 passing yards in back-to-back games and has thrown multiple touchdowns in five of his seven games this season. Mahomes is facing a Denver defense that is tied for last in the league in points allowed per game (31.0), making this one of the top Week 8 Fantasy football matchups.
2. Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers: The Chargers are coming off a rough outing against Kansas City, with their offense tying their season-low in points scored. Herbert has a high ceiling, though, going over 300 passing yards twice this year. He is squaring off against a Chicago defense that is No. 28 in points allowed per game (26.9), so this is a perfect bounce-back spot for the Chargers' offense.
3. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: The 26-year-old is coming off his best outing of the season, racking up 357 passing yards, 36 rushing yards and four total touchdowns in a blowout win over Detroit. Jackson is averaging nearly 300 total yards of offense per game and has one of the best matchups of the week. Arizona's defense is No. 28 in the NFL in yards allowed per game (368.3), and the Cardinals have lost six of their seven games. See more top QBs here.
Top Week 8 Fantasy football RB rankings
Here's a look at SportsLine's top Week 8 Fantasy football RB picks:
1. Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers: McCaffrey leads all non-QBs in Fantasy points while also leading the NFL with 11 touchdowns. Not only has he scored a TD in 16 straight games, but he's also averaged 118.3 scrimmage yards over this 16-game span.
2. Austin Ekeler, Los Angeles Chargers: Ekeler has had back-to-back quiet showings, but faces Chicago's defense on Sunday. The Bears have allowed the seventh-most Fantasy points to running backs. The Bears have also given up the most receiving yards and receiving scores to running backs ahead of a meeting with the most productive pass-catching back in the NFL.
3. Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City Chiefs: No team has allowed more rushing yards or yards per carry than the Broncos, who will host Pacheco and the Chiefs on Sunday. Pacheco also ranks fourth in Fantasy points among running backs since Week 4, so he's ascending heading into a plus matchup. See more top RBs here.
Top Week 8 Fantasy football WR rankings
Here's a look at SportsLine's top Week 8 Fantasy football WR picks:
1. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins: Hill erased any concerns about how moving away from the Kansas City offense might hamper his production with 119 catches for 1,710 yards and seven touchdowns last season, but he's been even better in 2023. He has 53 catches for 902 yards and seven touchdowns in seven games and seems to churn out matchup-winning performances on an almost weekly basis.
2. Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers: Allen isn't a game-breaker like Hill, Ja'Marr Chase or Justin Jefferson, but he consistently turns in productive performances. He's been targeted nine times or more in five of the six games that he's played and has 46 catches for 574 yards and four touchdowns already this season.
3. A.J. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles: Brown is on the sort of hot streak that vaults him into the conversation for best receiver in the league, having put together five consecutive games with at least 125 yards. He has the power and elusiveness of a running back after the catch and now will take on a Commanders defense he torched for nine catches, 175 yards and two touchdowns less than a month ago. See more top WRs here.
Top Week 8 Fantasy football TE rankings
Here's a look at SportsLine's top Week 8 Fantasy football TE picks:
1. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs: After missing the first game with a knee injury and looking a little hampered early in his return, Kelce is back to full health and showing out for Swifties everywhere. He's had at least six catches for 60 yards in his last five games and has 21 catches for 303 yards and a touchdown in his last two contests.
2. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens: Andrews continues to be arguably Lamar Jackson's favorite red-zone target, with five touchdown catches already this season and 36 over his last 67 games. Now. he'll take on a Cardinals defense that ranks 23rd against the pass and that is likely to start thinking about 2023 draft position moving forward.
3. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions: It's a thin position, but yet another Iowa tight end is bolstering the ranks with LaPorta impressing as a rookie. He's been targeted 49 times in seven games and has 35 receptions for 377 yards and three touchdowns. See more top TEs here.
Top Week 8 Fantasy football defense rankings
Here's a look at SportsLine's top three Week 8 Fantasy football D/ST picks:
1. Eagles D/ST: Philadelphia ranks third in the NFL in sacks ahead of a matchup versus Sam Howell and Washington. Howell has been sacked 12 more times than any other quarterback this season, and he's also thrown the third-most interceptions with seven.
2. Chargers D/ST: A 2-4 team isn't one you'd expect to be this high in the Week 8 Fantasy football defense rankings, but that 2-4 Chargers team gets to face the Bears. Chicago has allowed the fourth-most Fantasy points to opposing defenses as the Bears have given up D/ST touchdowns in four of their seven games.
3. Chiefs D/ST: Kansas City's offense gets most of the attention, but the Chiefs are fielding the No. 2 scoring defense this season. They face Denver in Week 8, and Russell Wilson has been sacked nine times over his last three games in addition to Denver having six giveaways during that stretch. See more top D/ST here.
