Before we get to the top 100 players overall in PPR leagues for Week 8—a list that can aid in making flex lineup decisions—we begin with the obligatory notes.
The first is that there are no quarterbacks listed here. If you are in a superflex league where you can flex a quarterback, then odds are you want to do that—especially in a week where all 32 teams are in action.
That's the second note: No teams are on bye in Week 8. Don't ask me why there were six teams off a week ago and none this week. The NFL is just too smart for my feeble brain to comprehend its unassailable logic.
The third note is an admonition—there is no quitting in fantasy football. I have one 7-0 team left. I have a 6-1 team in an industry league that drafts every year at the Pro Football Hall of Fame—a league I really want to win. I am also 1-6 in a league where I'm the two-time defending champion and the two worst teams get relegated to a lower league at season's end. All three get equal effort from me, whether I'm shooting for a championship or just trying not to get sent down.
Whether you're aiming for a championship or just a measure of respectability, keep trying to improve your roster. Keep setting your lineup. Keep on keeping on.
You never know—maybe you can peel off a winning streak.
