Fantasy Football Week 8 Rankings – Quarterbacks

Josh Allen
To differentiate between all the “Start ‘Ems” on my Fantasy Football Start Em, Sit Em page, you can check out the Weekly Fantasy Football Rankings, so you can figure out whom to start between Player X and Player Y.

Below are my fantasy QB rankings and a set of links for my positional Weekly NFL Fantasy Football Rankings. Keep in mind that this list is for this week only; not the entire rest of the season.

The rankings are based on a Traditional scoring system. Each player has Walterfootball.com’s projected stats and standard scoring points.

    260 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 30 Rushing Yards.
    Bo Nix lit up the Giants in the fourth quarter last week. That’ll continue against the poor Cowboys.

  12. Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys (at Broncos)- 19 Points
    260 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 10 Rushing Yards.
    A tougher matchup for Dak Prescott, despite what we saw from Jaxson Dart last week.

  16. Caleb Williams, QB, Bears (at Ravens)- 17 Points
    230 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 1 INT, 20 Rushing Yards.
    Baltimore’s defense should be healthier off the bye.

    Miami’s defense is in shambles.

    Joe Flacco should continue to stay hot in another easy matchup.
