Top WRs To Start in Week 8
Rashee Rice, Kansas City Chiefs
We are slowly — but surely — seeing the WR1 for the Kansas City Chiefs emerge. Rashee Rice has become a very relevant fantasy option here over the past few weeks, as he’s now finished inside the top 36 wide receivers for three straight games!

In Week 8, the Chiefs have a matchup against the Denver Broncos. This one could get ugly in a hurry, which could limit the overall need for Rice. Even so, when he’s seeing the amount of red-zone and end-zone opportunities that he has, he’s worth playing as a WR3 option every single week moving forward.
Joshua Palmer, Los Angeles Chargers
When are we going to give Joshua Palmer the respect he deserves? After posting a solid stat line in Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys — which should have been much more if not for penalties — Palmer came back and rattled off five receptions for 133 yards in Week 7 against Kansas City’s defense.
After all of that, Palmer will still get underrated by the fantasy community. The talented WR is producing for fantasy managers, and thus, I’m going to rank Palmer where he needs to be. He’s a borderline WR2 option for fantasy football.
In a matchup against the Chicago Bears’ defense in Week 8, Palmer could be in line for another monstrous performance.
