You’ve arrived at the Week 8 edition of my PPR fantasy football rankings. The Philadelphia Eagles remain atop the mountain with an undefeated 6-0 record and it certainly helped their cause they were on a Week 7 bye. Three one-loss teams are on their heels: the Bills, Vikings and Giants. On the flipside, the exciting-to-watch...

I must admit, I had a tough time with the college football board this week. Maybe it’s because celebrating the Phillies put me behind my usual working schedule, but there weren’t many games that immediately jumped out to me.

Brady, who...
Getty Images The byes weeks aren’t as plentiful as Week 7 — with only two teams on bye — but it happens to be two of the best quarterbacks in football that we’ll be without. Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert will not play this week due to bye weeks for the Kansas City Chiefs and...
