The NFL season is in full swing, and it’s time to set your lineups for Week 8 of the fantasy football season. Fortunately, no teams have a bye in Week 8, but there are a ton of injuries to monitor. Cooper Kupp is ready to make his return, while Deebo Samuel, Mike Evans, DK Metcalf, Puka Nacua, Jakobi Meyers, Chris Olave, and Jauan Jennings are questionable with injuries. Brandon Aiyuk and Chris Godwin suffered season-ending injuries, while Nico Collins is still on the IR. Below are the wide receiver rankings, tiers, and analysis for Week 8.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Tier 1: Alpha Wide Receivers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Justin Jefferson<\/span>
\n2. Ja\u2019Marr Chase<\/span>
\n3. Malik Nabers<\/span>
\n4. A.J. Brown<\/span>
\n5. CeeDee Lamb<\/span>
\n6. Amon-Ra St. Brown<\/span>
\n7. Tyreek Hill*<\/span><\/p>\n

St. Brown continued his fantastic stretch of performances, finishing Week 7 as the overall WR1 with 25.2 fantasy points. He caught all eight of his targets for 112 yards and a touchdown, marking his fourth straight game with a touchdown. St. Brown has been remarkably consistent, finishing as a top-eleven wide receiver in four of the last five weeks. After a slow start to the season, he’s become a reliable WR1 option in fantasy lineups.<\/span><\/p>\n

*Hill and the entire Dolphins<\/a> offense has been horrible since quarterback Tua Tagovailoa left the Week 2 game with another concussion. Hill has only finished as a top-50 weekly receiver one time in the last five games. One time! Week 7 was his worst performance, with only one catch for eight yards on two targets. Tagovailoa is expected to return in Week 8, which gives everyone in the Dolphins offense a huge boost<\/a>. Hill moves back into the alpha wide receiver tier. If Tagovailoa is not able to play, Hill falls back to Tier Four of the wide receiver rankings for Week 8.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tier 2: Low-End WR1s to High-End WR2s<\/strong><\/h3>\n

8. Drake London<\/span>
\n9. Cooper Kupp**<\/span>
\n10. Stefon Diggs<\/span>
\n11. D.J. Moore<\/span>
\n12. Brian Thomas Jr<\/span>
\n13. Deebo Samuel**<\/span>
\n14. Jayden Reed<\/span>
\n15. Mike Evans**<\/span>
\n16. DK Metcalf**<\/span><\/p>\n

London is quietly the overall WR3 on the season. After a rough start in Week 1 with just 3.5 fantasy points, he has bounced back with consistent production, scoring at least 12 points in every game since. London has also posted three consecutive top-15 finishes, including two top-eight performances. He gets a great matchup against the Buccaneers<\/a>, who have been getting torched by opposing offenses. London is a strong top-ten play in Week 8 and should continue his hot streak as he moves into the top-ten of the wide receiver rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n
