Week 8 of the 2024 fantasy football season has arrived and it features a full slate of 16 NFL games. No teams are on their bye week, meaning that managers will have the maximum of 32 quarterbacks to choose from for their weekly lineups.

Here are the best ones to target and those best to avoid, based on their recent performances and direct matchups.

Caleb Williams got off to a slow start to the 2024 fantasy football season, finishing as the QB31 and QB29 in his first two games.

The Chicago Bears rookie has turned things around since then, finishing among the top 15 quarterbacks in three of his past four games. This includes an impressive QB1 weekly finish in his most recent game. He is a strong pick in a favorable matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Jordan Love is another solid target for Week 8 fantasy football lineups as he has finished as the QB14 or better in all five of his games this year. He also gets an ideal matchup this week when the Green Bay Packers take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Their defense has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, so Love could be in line for a huge day.

Fantasy Football Week 8 QBs Sit 'Em picks

Baker Mayfield is having an excellent 2024 fantasy football season, but his outlook for Week 8 isn't quite as bright. He currently ranks as the overall QB2 this year, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers recently lost their top two wide receivers to injuries. This may be difficult for the quarterback to overcome, especially in a tough matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

He is joined by Daniel Jones, who should also be faded in fantasy lineups this week. The New York Giants veteran has been polarizing this season, finishing among the top 11 quarterbacks three times, but outside of the top 20 in his other four games. This means he should only be streamed in the right situations, but a matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers' elite defense isn't one of them.
