Reaching week 8 is a milestone in the fantasy football season, and indicates that we are halfway through the year. Although most leagues will run through week 17, there is precious little time for fantasy team managers to climb back up the standings at this point if they are below .500. Injuries have been a huge determining factor over the past few weeks, and propelled some players like Kenneth Walker III into top waiver pickups or quick promotions from the bench to the starting lineup. Looking forward, remember that historically more running backs are injured over the middle of the season than wide receivers, and consider picking up more depth at that position.
Take a look at our rankings for the week, meant to be used as a guide for your lineups, pickups, and trades moving into Week 8 of the fantasy season. Feel free to reach out on Twitter or in the comments below with any specific questions!
