Fantasy football rankings for Week 8: Snow falls in Denver, Lamar Jackson rises in Baltimore

Show Caption

It's the first major weather event of the NFL season! There's already six inches of snow on the ground in Denver, which could have a major impact on what could have been a shootout against the Kansas City Chiefs. While Patrick Mahomes (illness) and Travis Kelce should still be must-starts in Week 8, their supporting casts should be downgraded. And the Chiefs defense becomes much more attractive.

START OR SIT? 15 tough lineup calls for Week 8

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.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.
