Week 8 Rankings: Defense and Special Teams

Welcome to Week 8 of the fantasy football season!

If you survived “bye-maggedon,” you’ll have an easier time with your starting lineups this week with no teams on a bye. I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system, which you can use in coordination with the Week 8 edition of Start Em, Sit Em.

At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck everyone!
