Week 8 Wide Receiver Rankings Fantasy Football

Tier 2: Proven Solid WR2s

The players in this tier are all must-starts this week and will provide plenty of fantasy value throughout the season:

• McConkey has had his two best games of the year in the last two weeks, while seeing a season-high 15 targets in the Week 7 loss. Herbert will not be throwing the ball 55 times every week, but this is a pass-first offense with all the injuries to the running backs and offensive linemen.

Tier 3: WR3s With Something to Prove

This tier of players includes wide receivers who are all borderline WR starts this week, depending on the size of your league:

• Brown and Smith both got going for the Eagles in Week 7. Smith had 33.3 fantasy points, catching nine of eleven targets for 183 yards and a touchdown. Brown did not have the target share, only seeing six targets, but he had four catches for 121 yards and two touchdowns.
• It was Addison who got the work for the Vikings instead of Jefferson in Week 7. Addison caught nine passes for 128 yards on two targets. Addison has scored at least 15 fantasy points in all three of his games so far this season.

Tier 4: Potential Flex WRs

These guys are FLEX options to fill out your starting lineup:

• With six teams on a bye this week, this list is the weakest it has been all season. The 49ers receivers have tough matchups against the Texans great secondary. Look for Franklin to boom against the Cowboys.
