Week 8 fantasy TE rankings: Best starts at tight end
Tight ends have been hit-or-miss all season long, but there have been some encouraging signs recently.
The Browns' David Njoku had his best game of the year in Week 7 (10-76-1), while the resurgent Mark Andrews of the Ravens caught a pair of touchdown passes and Tampa Bay's Cade Otton reached the 100-yard mark.
Fantasy football rankings for Week 8 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.
