Week 8 RB fantasy rankings 2026: the early board

RB for Week 8, ranked by market-based projected fantasy points. A number, not an opinion.

Updated Oct 27, 2026 at 10:52 AM ET

Jahmyr Gibbs leads the early Week 8 RB board at 24.2 points, Bijan Robinson next at 23.5. 4 of 37 RBs have a Week 8 projection so far; the rest are ranked on their Week 7 projection, tagged in the table, until Week 8 is posted. Refreshed through the day.

Each week's player markets open over Tuesday and Wednesday. Until Week 8 is fully posted, this board ranks every RB on his Week 8 projection where there is one and on his last posted market figure where there is not, and every carried figure is tagged with its week. Players listed Out, Doubtful or on injured reserve are left off.

It is replaced by the full Week 8 board automatically once enough RBs have a projection for the week. The season board sits on the RB rankings page; this one is the week.
