2025 Fantasy Football Week 8 Wide Receiver Rankings Revealed
As the 2025 NFL season enters Week 8, fantasy football players must navigate a challenging landscape. This week is particularly tough due to six teams on bye, leaving only 26 teams’ players available for selection. Injuries further complicate matters, forcing players to consider creative lineup solutions.
Key Performers from Week 7
Week 7 saw some standout performances in the wide receiver category. Ja’Marr Chase emerged as the top scorer, accumulating 41.1 fantasy points after an impressive Thursday night game. The highlights from Sunday included:
- DeVonta Smith – 36.3 FPTS
- Keenan Allen – 31.9 FPTS
- A.J. Brown – 31.1 FPTS
- Rookie Travis Hunter – 27.1 FPTS
- Chris Olave – 26.8 FPTS
- Davante Adams – 26.5 FPTS
- CeeDee Lamb – 25 FPTS
Chase’s success allowed him to overtake the injured Puka Nacua in DraftKings’ seasonal rankings, even as Jaxson Smith-Njigba had a chance to close the gap with a strong performance on Monday.
