Geno Smith projected as top quarterback in Week 8 fantasy rankings

Geno Smith is highlighted as a strong start for Week 8 fantasy football, particularly due to a favorable matchup against the Raiders, who rank 27th in EPA per Pass Allowed. The rankings indicate Smith's recent performance, completing 43 of his last 60 passes. Conversely, Bo Nix faces a more challenging matchup against the Chiefs, who rank 7th in EPA per Pass Allowed, despite having a solid game in his last outing. Josh Allen's ranking has slipped this week to QB4 due to a tough matchup with the Ravens, while Tanner McKee sees a slight boost. Projections suggest Smith could lead in both passing and rushing yards among quarterbacks this week.
