It’s Wednesday and that means it’s time to breakout the flex fantasy football rankings for Week 8 of the NFL season. Remember that rankings change throughout the week, so be sure to check our staff rankings for updates.

1. Le'Veon Bell, PIT @ DET (RB1) — He's topped 30 carries in three of his last four contests.

2. Antonio Brown, PIT @ DET (WR1) — Even with Ben Roethlisberger's struggles, Brown has still proven to be elite this season.

3. A.J. Green, CIN vs IND (WR2) — Green gets a major matchup boost against the shaky Indy secondary.

4. Julio Jones, ATL @ NYJ (WR3) — Jones is coming off one of his best performances of the season, and gets a plus matchup.

5. Ezekiel Elliott, DAL @ WAS (RB2) — Elliott eats again this week.

6. Mike Evans, TB vs CAR (WR4) — Jameis Winston is trending in the right direction, which is good news for Evans owners.

7. Michael Thomas, NO vs CHI (WR5) — Thomas hasn't been the most consistent option, but he remains a strong WR1 play with the Saints at home this week.

8. Kareem Hunt, KC vs DEN (RB3) — This is a tough matchup for Hunt, but there's simply no way that you fade him.

9. LeSean McCoy, BUF vs OAK (RB4) — McCoy found pay dirt twice last week and gets another favorable matchup.

10. Dez Bryant, DAL @ WAS (WR6) — Carson Wentz just carved up the Redskins, so expect Dak Prescott to do the same.

11. Rob Gronkowski, NE vs LAC (TE1) — Gronk could have had a much bigger game last week, and remains an elite play.

12. Brandin Cooks, NE vs LAC (WR7) — Cooks could see Casey Hayward, but his upside makes him too tough to fade.

13. Devonta Freeman, ATL @ NYJ (RB5) — Freeman's value is trending down, but the Falcons should be able to muster a run game against the Jets.

14. Doug Baldwin, SEA vs HOU (WR8) — Baldwin got big last week and continues to produce against the Texans.

15. Zach Ertz, PHI vs SF (TE2) — What can we say? He's an elite fantasy option now.
