Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings: RB, K, DST

By David Gonos

Posted on October 24, 2012

The Week 8 Fantasy Football RB Rankings just made your late-October mid-week awesome. Right now, there are half of you feeling like you can’t do anything right, and the other half feels like they can’t do anything wrong. Just a few weeks ago, you finally cut loose Rashad Jennings, and now you’re dying to get him on your team. Up is down. Down is up. It’s OK — I promise it gets better!

I already posted the Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings for QB, WR and TE.

Week 8 brings back six running backs to the rankings (while four more take a nice week off). But players like Michael Turner, Willis McGahee, Jamaal Charles, Reggie Bush, LeSean McCoy and Ryan Mathews, get much-needed healing time. I expect good weeks from each of them.

It’s time to check your Week 8 Fantasy Football RB Rankings!

Week 8 Fantasy Football RB Rankings

These rankings are for non-PPR leagues, with four points for passing touchdowns. My friends over at Four-Downs.com supply the rankings tool, so we’re certainly grateful for their help. Here are the six teams on bye weeks: Baltimore, Buffalo, Cincinnati and Houston.

And here are the teams that are coming back from bye weeks: Atlanta, Denver, Kansas City, Miami, Philadelphia and San Diego.

Again, my Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings for QB, WR and TE are posted here.

For some reason, two players aren’t in the tool, keeping me from adding them to this table of Week 7 Fantasy Football RB Rankings.
