WR Week 8 Rankings Start, Sit — 2024 NFL Fantasy Football Rankings

NFL DraftKings Network

Two of the top four wide receivers in my rankings last week went head-to-head in Week 7, and both Justin Jefferson and Amon-Ra St. Brown delivered big games in a thrilling NFC North battle. Ultimately, the Lions come out on top and St. Brown was the top WR of the week coming into Monday. Only four receivers topped 20 fantasy points with George Pickens posting a big Sunday night performance to join Jefferson, St. Brown and Brian Thomas Jr. from the early morning game in London.

In Week 8, all 32 teams are in action as the bye weeks take a bye week themselves. With the regular three primetime games and 13 games Sunday afternoon, it’s a jam-packed slate that should provide plenty of opportunities for fantasy point production.

As always, wide receiver has been very volatile from week to week, but there are a few big names who almost always come through. Looking ahead to Week 8, here are my top 25 WRs to start:

  1. A.J. Brown (at CIN)
  2. Justin Jefferson (at LAR)
  3. Ja’Marr Chase (vs. PHI)
  4. Amon-Ra St. Brown (vs. TEN)
  5. Drake London (at TB)
  6. CeeDee Lamb (at SF)
  7. Deebo Samuel Sr. (vs. DAL)
  8. Davante Adams (at NE)
  9. Zay Flowers (at CLE)
  10. DJ Moore (at WAS)
  11. Cooper Kupp (vs. MIN)
  12. Terry McLaurin (vs. CHI)
  13. Brian Thomas Jr. (vs. GB)
  14. Malik Nabers (at PIT)
  15. Marvin Harrison Jr. (at MIA)
  16. Chris Godwin (vs. ATL)
  17. Stefon Diggs (vs. IND)
  18. Jayden Reed (at JAC)
  19. DK Metcalf (vs. BUF) if healthy
  20. George Pickens (vs. NYG)
  21. Mike Evans (vs. ATL)
  22. Amari Cooper (at SEA)
  23. Tyreek Hill (vs. ARI) higher if Tua returns
  24. Tee Higgins (vs. PHI)
  25. Garrett Wilson (at NE)
