Week Eight has the potential for terrible harm to your fantasy football roster. Todd Gurley, DeMarco Murray, and Leonard Fournette lead the list of running backs taking the week off. On the lower end you are also without Aaron Jones, Derrick Henry, Orleans Darkwa and Adrian Peterson. Hopefully you planned well to handle this week.
In a fun point, Le'Veon Bell finally passed Kareem Hunt for the overall RB1 position. More of a match up play than pure talent, but two great options. Going to rank Elliott, but remember, he has a losing case and will almost certainly get suspended at some point. Here are the rankings for your Week 8 RBs:
