The Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens were two supposedly top-notch NFL teams that looked just terrible in their Week 7 losses. But as I was setting up my Week 8 rankings, I couldn't help being intrigued by the matchups these teams have in Week 8. And that changes everything.

Fantasy football can often be viewed in a week-to-week way; as in, what happened the first six weeks of the season can be forgotten quickly by our latest impressions of teams or players. But if you're a fantasy owner relying on Chris Johnson, for example, first let me say how sorry I am for your loss, and then allow me to remind you that the brutal Indianapolis Colts are visiting lovely Nashville this week. And the stench of Joe Flacco overthrowing everyone Monday night while Ray Rice was woefully underutilized still resonates, but this week, ah, the Arizona Cardinals will be flying cross-country for an early Sunday game.


For Eric's rankings explanations of Chris Johnson, Joe Flacco, Bernard Scott, DeAngelo Williams and others, you must be an ESPN Insider.
