Fantasy football rankings for Week 8: Stefon Diggs and the Bills catch Dolphins at perfect time
With one of the NFL's best offenses and coming off a bye week, the stars seemingly align perfectly for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday when they host the team with the league's worst-ranked defense, the Miami Dolphins. Could it be a big day for Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs and Co.?
Fantasy football rankings for Week 8 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
