Quarterback Rankings for Week 8 Fantasy Football<\/h2>\n

Tier 1: Superstar Quarterbacks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Josh Allen<\/span>
\n2. Lamar Jackson<\/span>
\n3. Jordan Love<\/span>
\n4. Jalen Hurts<\/span>
\n5. Jayden Daniels**<\/span>
\n6. Baker Mayfield<\/span>
\n7. Joe Burrow<\/span><\/p>\n

After three out of four weeks finishing outside the top-15 in fantasy quarterbacks, Allen has bounced back with two consecutive top-six finishes. In Week 7, he threw for 323 yards and two touchdowns, despite recording just one rushing yard. Allen has a favorable matchup against the Seahawks<\/a> next week, and he reclaims the top spot in the quarterback rankings for Week 8.<\/span><\/p>\n

Love had another solid fantasy day to lead the Packers<\/a> to a last-second field goal to win the game. Love has thrown for at least two touchdowns in every game he has played this season, but he has also thrown an interception in every game. In Week 8, the Packers play the Jaguars<\/a>, who have given up the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks on the season. Love has top-three potential in Week 8.<\/span><\/p>\n

** Daniels is questionable with a rib injury. The Commanders are hopeful he can play<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tier 2: Low-End QB1s<\/strong><\/h3>\n

8. Sam Darnold<\/span>
\n9. Jared Goff<\/span>
\n10. C.J. Stroud<\/span>
\n11. Brock Purdy<\/span>
\n12. Dak Prescott<\/span><\/p>\n

Purdy was not good passing-wise in the 49ers<\/a> loss to the Chiefs<\/a>. He threw three interceptions, and he did not have a passing touchdown. However, he had two rushing touchdowns to salvage his fantasy day and finished as a top-eight fantasy quarterback<\/a> for the second straight week. The 49ers play the Cowboys<\/a> in a huge matchup on Sunday Night Football. Both teams have underachieved this year and are looking to make a statement. The Cowboys are in the top ten for most fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks on the year, giving Purdy a great chance to continue playing well in fantasy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jared Goff continues to impress, throwing for at least two touchdowns in each of the last four games while only tossing one interception during that stretch. He has also finished as a top-ten fantasy quarterback for three consecutive weeks. With his consistent play, Goff is positioning himself as a potential MVP candidate if he keeps it up. Heading into Week 8, Goff remains a solid top-ten option in fantasy quarterback rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n
