Who to start in fantasy football: Week 8 rankings, start-sit advice for PPR, standard scoring image

It's been a bad week for a lot of fantasy football owners already. Ja'Marr Chase, Deebo Samuel, and Ezekiel Elliott (among others) have already been ruled out, while Mark Andrews, Gus Edwards, and Rashod Bateman have already been injured. Throw in another early London game, a few potentially worrisome weather spots, and a host of key "questionable" players (Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf, Darren Waller, Davante Adams, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Brandin Cooks, Hayden Hurst), and you have a tough Sunday ahead. In an effort to make things a little easier for fantasy football owners, we've compiled all of our Week 8 fantasy rankings (PPR, standard) in this article to help with your last-minute start 'em, sit 'em calls. Consider it your one-stop cheat sheet if you've put off deciding who to start until Sunday morning.
