Fantasy football rankings: 2025 NFL Week 8 projections from proven model that outperformed experts

The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has locked in its Week 8 Fantasy football rankings

ByUpdated: Oct 26, 2025 3:44PM UTC . 3 min read

Many NFL stars performed just as that last week as the likes of Jalen Hurts, Christian McCaffrey and Ja'Marr Chase had huge games. While there aren't Fantasy football start/sit decisions to be made with them, others do deserve serious thought on if they should be a part of your Week 8 Fantasy football lineups. There are a season-high of six teams on byes, so there aren't quite as many options to consider when it comes to your Week 8 Fantasy football picks.

Carolina's Xavier Legette (9-92-1) finally had the breakout game on Sunday that many have been waiting for from the 2024 first-round pick. Meanwhile, Rhamondre Stevenson's 88 rushing yards were his most in over a calendar year. Given the number of players on byes, plus the uncertain statuses of injured players such as D'Andre Swift (questionable, groin) and Breece Hall (questionable, knee), the the likes of Legette and Stevenson may have received a bump up the Week 8 Fantasy football rankings. Plus, wideouts like Garrett Wilson, Drake London and Nico Collins are all out, so who could fill their voids on their respective teams?

Before setting your Fantasy football lineups, you NEED to see the Week 8 Fantasy football rankings from SportsLine's advanced computer model. 

When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine's model beat human experts for the past several seasons, especially when there were big differences in ranking! That could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home empty-handed.

Now the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has revealed its latest Week 8 Fantasy football rankings.

One player the model is high on this week: Panthers receiver Tetairoa McMillan. And a massive shocker: Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, an MVP candidate who ranks second in both passing yards and touchdowns this season, may not warrant a spot in Week 8 Fantasy football lineups as he sits outside the top 12 in QB rankings! He's a player to fade this week.

The model is also calling for a SHOCKING quarterback you aren't even thinking about to finish in the top 10 of its Week 8 Fantasy football rankings! This pick could be the difference between winning BIG and going home with nothing. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in your lineups.
