Fantasy Football Week 8 Rankings for RBs (Half-PPR)

For all of the struggles we saw at the quarterback position in Week 7, the running backs made up for it 10-fold ... or, perhaps, 11-fold, as 11 different RBs managed to score 20 or more fantasy points last week! Tough sledding for the "running backs don't matter" crowd, eh?
