Here’s my Week 8 tight end rankings. Keep in mind that the Bears, Browns, Eagles, Falcons, Giants, and Ravens are on bye.
.
1. Antonio Gates vs. Tennessee
2. Zach Miller vs. Seattle
3. Vernon Davis vs. Denver
4. Chris Cooley @ Detroit
5. Jason Witten vs. Jacksonville
6. Dustin Keller vs. Green Bay
7. Kellen Winslow @ Arizona
8. Aaron Hernandez vs. Minnesota
9. Marcedes Lewis @ Dallas
10. Owen Daniels @ Indianapolis
11. John Carlson @ Oakland
12. Jermaine Gresham vs. Miami
13. Brandon Pettigrew vs. Washington
14. Heath Miller @ New Orleans
15. Visanthe Shiancoe @ New England
.
.
Inside the numbers:
- Antonio Gates played through his toe injury and scored yet another TD, bringing his total to eight on the year. I don’t know how you can place him anywhere other than #1 at this point.
- Zach Miller has four TDs in his past five games.
- Vernon Davis has scored in four straight games.
- Jason Witten was active when Romo went down. Look for Jon Kitna to rely heavily on the talented TE.
- Owen Daniels finally looked healthy, catching five passes for 79 yards against the Chiefs.
- Shiancoe should have had a TD last week if it weren’t for poor officiating, but I’m not ready to label him TE1 just yet.

Here’s my Week 8 wide receiver rankings. Keep in mind that the Bears, Browns, Eagles, Falcons, Giants, and Ravens are on bye.
.
1. Reggie Wayne vs. Houston
2. Andre Johnson @ Indianapolis
3. Randy Moss @ New England
4. Brandon Marshall @ Cincinnati
5. Dwayne Bowe vs. Buffalo
6. Greg Jennings @ New York Jets
7. Calvin Johnson vs. Washington
8. Terrell Owens vs. Miami
9. Larry Fitzgerald vs. Tampa Bay
10. Kenny Britt @ San Diego
11. Wes Welker vs. Minnesota
12. Miles Austin vs. Jacksonville
13. Pierre Garcon vs. Houston
14. Percy Harvin @ New England
15. Mike Wallace @ New Orleans
16. Chad Ochocinco vs. Miami
17. Dez Bryant vs. Jacksonville
18. Mike Williams (SEA) @ Oakland
19. Marques Colston vs. Pittsburgh
20. Hines Ward @ New Orleans
21. Lance Moore vs. Pittsburgh
22. Michael Crabtree vs. Denver
23. Brandon Lloyd @ San Francisco
24. Santana Moss @ Detroit
25. Deion Branch vs. Minnesota
26. Mike Williams (TB) @ Arizona
27. Roy Williams vs. Jacksonville
28. Steve Johnson @ Kansas City
29. Davone Bess @ Cincinnati
30. Steve Smith (CAR) @ St. Louis
31. Braylon Edwards vs. Green Bay
32. Blair White vs. Houston
33. Mike Sims-Walker @ Dallas
34. Lee Evans @ Kansas City
35. Santonio Holmes vs. Green Bay
36. Patrick Crayton vs. Tennessee
37. Steve Breaston vs. Tampa Bay
38. Kevin Walter @ Indianapolis
39. Donald Driver @ New York Jets
40. Jabar Gaffney @ San Francisco
.
.
Inside the numbers:
- With Dallas Clark and Austin Collie out look for Pierre Garcon, Blair White, and possibly Anthony Gonzalez to step up for the Colts.
- Randy Moss will be extra motivated to take on the Patriots.
- Kenny Britt has scored in five straight games, including three last week against the Eagles.
- Dwayne Bowe has four TDs in the past two weeks. He’s a great play against the Bills, who have allowed 14 passing TDs already.
- The Cowboys will be without Romo, but with a week of practice, Jon Kitna should be fine. I like the prospects of Miles Austin, Dez Bryant, and Roy Williams against a Jaguar pass defense that has allowed a league high 16 TDs on the year.
- Denver has allowed 11 passing TDs, which makes the likelihood that Michael Crabtree scores fairly high.
- Malcom Floyd is expected to be out again. Patrick Crayton has 199 yards in the past two weeks, making him a decent WR3 against Tennessee.

Here’s my Week 8 running back rankings. Keep in mind that the Bears, Browns, Eagles, Falcons, Giants, and Ravens are on bye.
.
1. Frank Gore vs. Denver
2. Arian Foster @ Indianapolis
3. Adrian Peterson @ New England
4. Darren McFadden vs. Seattle
5. Chris Johnson @ San Diego
6. Ryan Torain @ Detroit
7. Steven Jackson vs. Carolina
8. Rashard Mendenhall @ New Orleans
9. Thomas Jones vs. Buffalo
10. LaDainian Tomlinson vs. Green Bay
11. Jamaal Charles vs. Buffalo
12. Jahvid Best vs. Washington
13. Maurice Jones-Drew @ Dallas
14. Cedric Benson vs. Miami
15. Felix Jones vs. Jacksonville
16. Jonathan Stewart @ St. Louis
17. Beanie Wells vs. Tampa Bay
18. Marshawn Lynch @ Oakland
19. Knowshon Moreno @ San Francisco
20. Fred Jackson @ Kansas City
21. Ryan Mathews vs. Tennessee
22. Shonn Greene vs. Green Bay
23. LeGarrette Blount @ Arizona
24. Mike Hart vs. Houston
25. Ronnie Brown @ Cincinnati
26. Brandon Jackson @ New York Jets
27. Christopher Ivory vs. Pittsburgh
28. Tim Hightower vs. Tampa Bay
29. Mike Tolbert vs. Tennessee
30. Ricky Williams @ Cincinnati
.
Inside the numbers:
- Frank Gore should have a big day against a Broncos defense allowing 156.3 yards per game on the ground with a league high 12 rushing TDs allowed.
- Arian Foster destroyed the Colts for 231 yards and three TDs in Week 1. While I’d be shocked if he matched that performance, he’s still a great play against an Indy run defense allowing 137.3 yards per game.
- Buffalo has allowed a league high 174.5 rushing yards per game, along with 8 rushing TDs. There is a great chance both Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles have big weeks once again.
- The Packers are giving up 124.3 yards per game at a 4.7 yards per carry clip. Both RBs in the Jets #2 rushing offense (LT, Shonn Greene) should be solid plays this week.
- Steven Jackson will likely be a game time decision, but knowing his pain threshold, he’ll be able to fight through it despite the broken finger.
- Beanie Wells should build off his solid game (54 yards, TD) against a Tampa defense allowing 157.7 rushing yards per game.
- I’m not confident Donald Brown is ready so I think the Colts use Mike Hart, but mostly rely on Peyton’s arm.

Here are my Week 8 fantasy football quarterback rankings. Remember the Bears, Browns, Eagles, Falcons, Giants, and Ravens are on bye.
.
1. Peyton Manning vs. Houston
2. Ben Roethlisberger @ New Orleans
3. Tom Brady vs. Minnesota
4. Matt Schaub @ Indianapolis
5. Philip Rivers vs. Tennessee
6. Aaron Rodgers @ New York Jets
7. Drew Brees vs. Pittsburgh
8. Kyle Orton @ San Francisco
9. Donovan McNabb @ Detroit
10. Carson Palmer vs. Miami
11. Matt Cassel vs. Buffalo
12. Sam Bradford vs. Carolina
13. Josh Freeman @ Arizona
14. Ryan Fitzpatrick @ Kansas City
15. Mark Sanchez vs. Green Bay
16. Jon Kitna vs. Jacksonville
17. Jason Campbell vs. Seattle
18. Matt Hasselbeck @ Oakland
19. Matthew Stafford vs. Washington
20. David Garrard @ Dallas
.
.
Inside the numbers:
- Injuries almost certainly will keep both the modern (Tony Romo – out 6-8 weeks) and classic (Favre) gunslingers out of action. I’m more optimistic about Jon Kitna than Tarvaris Jackson.
- Peyton Manning threw for 426 yards and three TDs against Houston in Week 1. He has 40 career TDs to just 8 INTs in 17 games against them. Even without his weapons, Manning finds a way to get it done.
- Drew Brees is not the same player this year, and Reggie Bush’s absence probably has a lot to do with it. Things don’t get better this week against the Steelers, who have allowed just four passing TDs this year.
- Matt Cassel has 5 TDs in the Chiefs’ past two games. He has a 3-1 TD-INT ratio, which helps offset his meager passing yards per game average (174). He faces Buffalo, who has allowed 14 passing TDs.
- Ryan Fitzpatrick has seven TDs in his past two games and 11 in his past four.
- Matthew Stafford is expected to return for the Lions. I’d only start him if you’re desperate or in a 2-QB league.
