Whose fantasy football rankings should I use for Week 8?
The FantasyPros consensus has been the most accurate source at QB, RB, WR, FLEX and DEF: no individual ranker has beaten it there this season. Eric Moody has been the most accurate at TE and K, ahead of the consensus. That's how well rankings matched real scoring in 2026 through Week 7, not a guarantee for Week 8.

How to read this
Each week Fan50 takes every tracked ranker's published rankings at kickoff and measures how well their order matched what players actually scored. The skill score puts that on a scale where 0 is a random order and 100 is perfect; most rankers land between about 5 and 35, because weekly fantasy scoring is noisy, and below 0 means worse than a random order. The season score is the average across weeks, and only rankers scored in most weeks are listed, so a single good week can't put someone at the top.
“vs consensus” is the gap between a ranker's season score and the FantasyPros consensus at the same position. The consensus is hard to beat, so a ranker even slightly ahead of it has been genuinely useful. Recent form shows whether a ranker has been better or worse lately than across the whole season.
