Week 8 Rankings: Running Backs

Welcome to Week 8 of the fantasy football season!

If you survived “bye-maggedon,” you’ll have an easier time with your starting lineups this week with no teams on a bye. I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system, which you can use in coordination with the Week 8 edition of Start Em, Sit Em.

At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

Among the running backs, Alvin Kamara has re-claimed elite status and Jahmyr Gibbs is a top-10 option against the Raiders with David Montgomery out. Bijan Robinson drops into the RB2 range after last week’s bizarre situation plus a bad matchup in Tennessee up next. Kareem Hunt, who figures to start in the absence of Jerome Ford, is also a mover in a positive direction against the Seahawks.

Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck everyone!
