Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings: Tim Tebow and QBs Destined for Monster Games

Week 8 of fantasy football is not a time to rest on your laurels. If you have been successful through the first seven games, you have to keep up the intensity and force your opponents' hand.

For those of you that haven't had the kind of success you were hoping for, keep scouring the waiver wire, study your matchups harder and you will be back on the right track. 

There are plenty of players waiting to light up the scoreboard this week—some of them you know and others you are starting to learn more about. 

Here are three players ready to dominate in fantasy football in Week 8. 

Tim Tebow, Denver Broncos

Despite playing terrible for the first 50 minutes and only having success because the Miami Dolphins went into a prevent defense, I still believe in Tebow's ability to produce at a high level in fantasy football this season. 

Even looking as bad as he did in the game against the Dolphins, Tebow still managed to score 22 points in standard scoring leagues according to ESPN.com. 

This week, Tebow gets to take on a Detroit defense that has allowed at least 20 points in five of its first seven games. 

If you play in a league that focuses more attention on passing yards than anything else, avoid Tebow at all costs. But in any other league, he is going to be a great play for you. 

We know that when the Broncos get anywhere near the end zone, Tebow is going to call his own number. You can expect at least two total touchdowns and 275 yards of total offense.

Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints

I don't feel guilty at all telling you to start one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

Aaron Rodgers is getting virtually all the publicity for quarterbacks in the NFL this season, though Tim Tebow is doing his best to steal some of Brees' thunder, but Brees has been as good as anyone in the league this season. 

Against Indianapolis in Week 7, Brees had five touchdown passes and four incomplete passes. That is an insane statistic that is almost so ridiculous it sounds made up. 

Now, Brees gets to take his talents to St. Louis and go up against the mighty Rams. This is as easy a two-game stretch as it gets for a team and a quarterback. 

If your opponent this week has Brees as the starting quarterback, you might as well just concede the game now, because he is going to have another huge game. 

The one thing that could possibly work against Brees is if the Saints get a big lead early and they decide to take him out. 

Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens

Of all the quarterbacks in the NFL this season, I am comfortable saying that Flacco has been the most disappointing. 

In his first three seasons, he completed 62 percent of his passes and averaged over 3,300 yards, 20 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. 

This season, he is completing 52 percent of his passes and has had three games with a quarterback rating under 61. 

That said, he has a great matchup this week against Arizona. The Cardinals have the 28th-ranked pass defense in the NFL and have held just two opposing quarterbacks under 290 yards. They were Tarvaris Jackson and Donovan McNabb. 

Flacco will have a monster fantasy game this week with at least 300 yards and two touchdowns passes.
