Week 8 Rankings: Wide receivers
These rankings are intended to rate how players will perform in Week 8 of the NFL season only and therefore do not include players on a bye week (Bears, Broncos, Packers, Vikings). They are a composite of Matthew Berry's, Christopher Harris', Erik Kuselias' and Eric Karabell's personal rankings for the week. ESPN's official fantasy projections and profiles for Week 8 can be viewed by clicking here.
