Robinson, McCaffrey lead Week 8 fantasy football running back rankings

MIAMI, Oct. 23 (UPI) -- Bijan Robinson and Christian McCaffrey lead my Top-50 fantasy football running back rankings for Week 8 of the 2025 season. Jonathan Taylor, Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs join Robinson and McCaffrey inside my Top 5. Derrick Henry, James Cook, De'Von Achane, Javonte Williams and D'Andre Swift are my other Top-10 options. My Week 8 quarterback and wide receiver rankings can be found here. My waiver-wire and free agent targets for Week 8 are available here. All of my positional rankings will be updated until Week 8 kickoffs. Players also will be moved out of or adjusted within the rankings based on injuries. Be sure to monitor your lineups for injury developments. Players from the Arizona Cardinals, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks, who are on bye, should not be in starting lineups. Los Angeles Chargers and Minnesota Vikings players, who played Thursday, were removed from my rankings. Week 8 running back rankings 1. Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons vs. MIA 2.
