If you’re anything like us, your survivor pools likely got wrecked in week 8 thanks to the Bengals reverting to their old ways against the Jets. Multiple back up QBs had strong performances, and some heavy favourites barely squeaked by with W’s on Sunday. See how it all affected their rankings below:
| Team | # | R | Reason |
| Green Bay Packers | 1 | 7-1 | Your new number 1. Hard to argue with the results. Since week 2 they’ve been firing on all cylinders. |
| Los Angeles Rams | 2 | 7-1 | Potent offense. Check. Scary defense. Check. Add an All-Pro at the trade deadline. Check. |
| Arizona Cardinals | 3 | 7-1 | Heartbreaking loss to the Packers, and an injury to Kyler Murray presents the teams first real adversity |
| Buffalo Bills | 4 | 5-2 | Is Buffalo the cream of the AFC crop at this point? Their challengers seem to be slipping by the wayside |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 5 | 6-2 | Tampa Bay slips to 5 following their loss to the Saints, but this is still a dangerous team |
| Dallas Cowboys | 6 | 6-1 | Backup QBs got the job done in week 8. Unfortunately looks like Cleveland missed that memo… |
| Tennessee Titans | 7 | 6-2 | A gutsy win over the Colts sees them rise, but will be tough sledding without their RB1 |
| New Orleans Saints | 8 | 5-2 | Massive win over the Bucs, but losing Jameis for the year hurts this offense big time. |
| Las Vegas Raiders | 9 | 5-2 | The off field issues continue to pile up for a Raiders team that’s doing their best to navigate a tough 2021 |
| Baltimore Ravens | 10 | 5-2 | Baltimore holds steady at number 10 through their bye week. |
| Cincinnati Bengals | 11 | 5-3 | “But we beat Baltimore how are we behind them?” You lost to the Jets, you’re out of the top 10 this week |
| Kansas City Chiefs | 12 | 4-4 | KC should have lost on Monday night. But Andy Reid & Co. will take a bit of luck when they can get it. |
| Los Angeles Chargers | 13 | 4-3 | Everyone knows New England owns the Jets, but the Chargers record against them isn’t pretty either. |
| Pittsburgh Steelers | 14 | 4-3 | It wasn’t pretty but a win is a win, and Pittsburgh now gets the Bears at home this weekend. |
| Cleveland Browns | 15 | 4-4 | Sometimes you need to know when to sit. Baker playing through injury may have cost them last weekend |
| New England Patriots | 16 | 4-4 | Somehow, they’re still in the thick of things in the AFC playoff picture |
| Carolina Panthers | 17 | 4-4 | CMC returning either this week or next is a huge shot in the arm for an offense that’s struggled of late |
| Minnesota Vikings | 18 | 3-4 | Are the Vikings good but unlucky? Or bad but can beat the teams they’re supposed to? |
| Indianapolis Colts | 19 | 3-5 | Welcome to your Carson Wentz years Colts fans! You certainly got the full experience this weekend. |
| San Francisco 49ers | 20 | 3-4 | Jimmy G with multiple rushing TDs on the day, who would have thought? |
| Philadelphia Eagles | 21 | 3-5 | Hard to tell if Sirianni’s commitment to running the ball is a new trend or a by product of playing the Lions |
| Atlanta Falcons | 22 | 3-4 | Atlanta couldn’t must any kind of offense against the Panthers and are now without Ridley to boot. |
| Denver Broncos | 23 | 4-4 | Denver shipped off franchise icon Von Miller at the deadline. Are they sellers or contenders? |
| Seattle Seahawks | 24 | 3-5 | Nothing cures a losing streak like playing the Jacksonville Jaguars… Or Lions… Or Texans… Or Dolphins… |
| Chicago Bears | 25 | 3-5 | Justin Fields gave everyone a glimpse of what he’s capable of when not under a Nagy led scheme. |
| Washington Football Team | 26 | 2-6 | There’s not a lot going right in Washington these days. Their defense looks lost this year. |
| New York Jets | 27 | 2-5 | Raise your hand if the Jets wreaked havoc on your survivor pools this week |
| New York Giants | 28 | 2-6 | They had them… Until they didn’t…. A costly penalty negated a pick and earned them another loss vs. KC |
| Miami Dolphins | 29 | 1-7 | Brian Flores’ seat is getting hotter by the week. At least they can now move past Watson rumours. |
| Jacksonville Jaguars | 30 | 1-6 | If it’s true that you need to lose before you learn to win then Lawrence is getting a masterclass this year |
| Houston Texans | 31 | 1-7 | Tyrod Taylor is expected to start against the Dolphins. That’s a positive right? |
| Detroit Lions | 32 | 0-8 | With back to back road games against the Steelers/Browns coming up we may soon begin the 0-17 watch |
