Week 8 fantasy football PPR rankings: Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry rise

By admin — In News — October 26, 2026

   ​My Week 8 fantasy football PPR rankings put three Ravens atop their positions, with quarterback Lamar Jackson, running back Derrick Henry and wide receiver Zay Flowers leading the board for Baltimore’s trip to Buffalo. Jackson missed Week 7 with an ankle injury, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said he’s “likely to return next week against the Bills.”Buffalo has allowed 35.5 fantasy points per game to wide receivers and 25 to running backs, the most and fourth-most in the NFL. The Bills also rank 31st in expected points added per play allowed, per SumerSports, and only Dallas ranks lower.These rankings are an early draft. Monday night’s Cowboys-Eagles game hasn’t been played, and its results will affect Dallas’ Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Javonte Williams, as well as Philadelphia’s Saquon Barkley and Dallas Goedert. Players listed here aren’t guaranteed to play, and I’ll update the rankings before Thursday’s Panthers-Packers game at 8:15 p.m. ET and again before Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoffs.The full positional rankings tables are at the end of the article.MORE: Jahmyr Gibbs on injury watch after scary slide at end of Lions-PackersFantasy football Week 8 outlookMinnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (33) rushes the ball against the Indianapolis Colts in the first half at U.S. Bank Stadium. | Brad Rempel-Imagn ImagesHouston, New Orleans, the Giants and San Francisco are on bye, so Malik Nabers, Christian McCaffrey, Nico Collins and Chris Olave are off the board.Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts remains on injured reserve with a blood clot in his calf, so Tanner McKee starts again. Rams must continue to adjust with wide receiver Davante Adams missing six to 10 weeks with a ruptured hamstring, and Sean McVay said, “It’s significant when you don’t have a player like Davante, but we have to be able to adjust.”Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. didn’t return to Sunday’s win over Indianapolis after injuring his knee.
