Week eight of the 2011 NFL season is just about upon us, which means the time has come for people to get their fantasy football starting lineups set up. This week features a host of tough injuries, particularly to some starting running backs, which will impact quite a few starting lineups. This week's bye weeks include Atlanta, Chicago, Green Bay, Oakland, NY Jets and Tampa Bay. This week features some big names on bye, including Aaron Rodgers, Darren McFadden and Matt Forte.

As we head into the week seven matchups on Sunday and Monday, we will have a host of sit/start projections for you starting at 7:00 am eastern time. We will break down all six major fantasy positions (QB, RB, WR, TE, K, Defense) and provide you with some projections courtesy of numberFire.com, as well. The folks at numberFire.com use some proprietary statistics to provide weekly and annual player projections that have eclipsed those at ESPN and Yahoo!. Fantasy football owners are on the hunt for every possible edge and this is one very solid option.
