It's time to update our rest of season rankings for fantasy football. Do us a favor. If you enjoy this video every week, drop a like and make sure you subscribe, especially for our editing team who does a great job with these videos.

But we'll start with running back here and all three of these guys. Like I don't know who to put as my running back one. I have no idea. And it's a good problem to have because if you have one of Chris McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, or Bijan Robinson on your team, you are feeling very good about yourself. And if you're a genius like Salvetri, then you have two of these guys on your team. That's really kind of you. Isn't it really kind of me to say that? So, big shout out to Southwest. He's one of the smartest guys I know. Um, has two of these guys on his team. If you look, if you have if you have one of these guys on your team, you have a a a bonafide RB1 on your team. Guys that could win you a league. And so, you are doing extremely well. All three of these guys, we have them 1A, 1B, 1C. Killing it this year. They all look really good so far.

Yeah, in the A tier, uh, not too far behind with with J.K. Dobbins up top. He's obviously just going to be a tier down because any given week, you always have Montgomery potentially, you know, vulturing a touchdown here or there. Gibbs had a lackluster week against Kansas City, which was a pretty tough matchup, but against Tampa heading into this week, and then the bye and then the matchups after that, Minnesota, Washington, Philly, like he's going to be fine long term. He is the running back eight on the season. Uh we expect him to finish as a top six running back, no problem. Then we got James Cook who has also kind of been slow the last couple of weeks, single digits and it's because he's kind of regressed back to uh the the the mean with having no uh touchdowns for two straight weeks when he had, you know, a nice touchdown run to start the season. Still has explosive upside, productive upside on any given week. Once uh Buffalo gets out of this rut, he should be fine. Uh Achane had a 30-plus point this week. He's got great receiving upside. He's just in a really bad offense. Josh Jacobs. Um he's touchdown and 20-plus points or no touchdown and like 12 to 15 points. Um but that that offense has run through him. He's like the motor of of the Green Bay Packers offense. So as long as Jacobs is healthy, he's going to be fine. And then we have Saquon Barkley who has also been disappointing. Honestly, just a number of these guys that are that could be S-tier caliber have just been underwhelming for the last few weeks. A good number of them. Saquon, James Cook, and Gibbs. Um, and Saquon is just he's kind of the product of an offense that can't really figure it out right now. And hopefully they do long term, but we just don't know when that's going to happen necessarily to raise his ceiling. He's always going to get a crazy amount of volume. Uh, they they just need to look better as a whole and he needs to be more more efficient with his usage.

Austin Ekeler had another solid game this week. Um, another, you know, double-digit points game, but I think he projects really well the rest of the season now that, you know, he's taking snaps standing straight up like Michael Myers again. Uh, 16 points on 23 attempts. He continues to be a workhorse back in that offense. And so even though it's not the best offense, we are going to be pretty um aggressive ranking with the top of the B tier. Javante Williams with the slow week. We had him as a buy low, we're still very confident in Javante. He's still the running back three on the season. Um and realistically, he's he's going to have some weeks like this, but most weeks he's going to be dropping 15-plus points pretty easily. Cam Akers, we've moved up. He's our running back 12 at this point. Um actually, I think he's a running back 11. Him and Bucky are kind of tied there. Look, with Akers, I I I don't know what people are missing with this guy. Um, we have him ranked on average four spots higher than the other creators, but since Akers has been playing, first of all, he's the running back 10 and he missed the first game. So, yeah, I mean, 24, 13, 14, and 31, I mean, points in the last four games. If you have Cam Akers, like this offense is running through him. It's an offense that looks a little bit better now with Jackson Dart at the helm. I don't know what there is that we're missing about this. Bucky Irving, look, Bucky's easily the probably the top guy in this tier when he's healthy. The problem is he's going to miss this week and probably or maybe a week after this as well. And so you have to kind of dock him for that. But Bucky when he was on the field and getting all the work this year was extremely productive and so we hope to have him back soon. And then Kyren Williams. Kyren has been very consistent the last two weeks since I traded him off of my block league team which is so convenient. Um but 16 points. He did have a touchdown um in the win against Baltimore. More back kind of back down to earth in terms of his receiving volume from 10 targets to two targets this weekend. And so that's kind of what we expected. but he still does project very well. His bye week's coming up in two weeks. He is still performing with the best of him. He's the running back nine so far on the year.

Then at the top of the C tier, we've got David Montgomery who had a tough week in a in a matchup against uh Pittsburgh where he only had 12 carries which was a lot less than what we'd seen the previous three weeks. I moved him down to 15. I think Avery still has him at 13, which I I can't argue against. I just as an owner of Montgomery like I do question this situation and their ability to uh provide consistent enough offense for him to be consistently productive. He does have Miami and New England the next two weeks though. Miami has a really poor run defense. So hopefully he can kind of bounce back and have a good week. But after New England, you have the bye and then the Jets, Baltimore, etc. So kind of a a mixed bag there in terms of run defense matchups. Uh but we'll see if if Cleveland can show any signs of life in the near future. It might be rough for everyone in that offense, including Montgomery. Uh, then we've got Derrick Henry, who finally had like 20-plus carries and looked really good, really efficient with that usage. He just couldn't find the end zone this week. So hopefully he can find the end zone and get this volume after the bye week once Lamar comes back. But again, until we see it happen consistently over multiple weeks with Lamar back healthy in this offense with Derrick Henry, uh he'll probably remain in the C tier as well as Travis Etienne who's volume has kind of been what it has been all season and uh very similar to a lot of these other guys. If he doesn't get a touchdown, he's probably uh going to be like upper single digits, maybe maybe get past like 10 points. Uh but this is a situation that's very interesting with BTJ potentially on the up. Um, and you you just never know with Trevor Lawrence if he's going to have a great day passing or if they're going to have to establish the run with Travis Etienne. Uh, we'll see if he can pick it up. And then, uh, Breece Hall and Olamide Zaccheaus. Breece in just another terrible situation. Uh, you you never know when he's going to do just absolutely nothing with 20 carries or have like 15-plus points with 20 carries. And now with no Garrett Wilson, that takes away a whole different a whole another dimension of that offense that they barely had to begin with because Fields is so bad as a passer that now like they're going to be so predictable with Garrett Wilson out the next couple of weeks. I don't know what Breece Hall is going to be able to do. Um Olamide and Zaccheaus, we have to have him in this tier because his upside is so high when he's back healthy. It's just a matter of when he'll be back.

Starting in the D tier here, uh DeAndre Swift first game back off the bye had a great game. Obviously had a 50-55 yard reception I think for a touchdown that kind of gave him um an extra 11 points in this game like an extra 12 points but 25 points in this game keep in mind he also had 14 attempts for 108 yards he averaged 7.7 yards per carry against the Washington front that's not that bad and so now you have no by-week for DeAndre Swift so he gets a little bit of a bump because of that um and with Swifty you know everybody's kind of wondering who's going to get the post-bye-week bump in that Ben Johnson offense and it looked like it was going to be Swifty actually after last night so he's at the the top of the D tier I'm not quite comfortable putting him in that C tier yet. But definitely this is a guy, this is a tier full of guys that have a ton of questions. J.K. Dobbins had a slower week where he didn't have a touchdown. And so I think you're going to see weeks like this. Dobbins had been pretty consistent scoring a touchdown in four of the first five of his uh games, but then four points against the New York Jets. Um and it just an overall super ugly game. R.J. Harvey, I think, actually outscored him in this game on less usage. And so um you look at that backfield and and Dobbins still is the guy to own there. Six points for R.J. Harvey on only 28 snaps. Um, and it was because he had four receptions in this game to Jalen Dobbins', zero receptions and only one target. Uh, so keep that in mind as you're evaluating him. Look, we had Jakobi Meyers in the exact same spot we had last week. Most of the other guys on the site were moving him up to like a running back 17, running back 18. And I was like, my problem is you haven't seen it in consecutive weeks yet. And we still haven't cuz he had seven points in week four, 27 against the Los Angeles Chargers in week five, and then in week six another five points on 17 attempts, mind you. Uh the most efficient running back in the league on a per carry basis averaged 3.59 uh yards per carry against a Chicago run defense that was among the worst in the league in terms of giving up points to fantasy football running backs. This should have been a favorable matchup for Jakobi Meyers. Mr. Now obviously they found themselves throwing the ball a lot but regardless he only had one target in this game and he's not had more than two targets in any game this season which means what his floor is 175 points right that's what you've seen his floor be this year means he's going to be super hit or miss in my opinion and he's also going to be touchdown dependent you see that trend as well games where he has a touchdown 14, 10 and 27 games where he does not five, seven and one okay it's going to be volatile he that's the question you have with K.J. Osborn. Alvin Kamara is not really volatile he's just scoring 10 to 15 points a game rather than 15 to 20, which is a pretty big dip considering where you drafted Alvin Kamara this year. 12 points against New England, he did have five targets. We've seen five, six, and five targets in the last three games, but it's nothing compared to this 9, 8, 7, 11 targets in stretches we saw last year. And so without touchdowns in an offense that's not very good, you're going to see him capped at about 15 points right now, which is pretty unfortunate. You're seeing him really hover around the 10 to 12 point range right now, which is, you know, again, not a great return on the price you actually drafted Alvin Kamara at. Kenneth Walker, I've moved him down now. Um, I actually have him lower than Nathan does now and by one spot. We both have him about running back 25. He's a running back 25 on the season. Fact of the matter is he's been in double digits half of the time this year. Um, he's only gotten more than 12 carries half of the time this year. He's only scored a touchdown in two of his six games this year. And I just don't want to start him and I don't want to start Sharpet. That's just there's no other way to put it.

It's gross. And then Jaylen Warren came back from injury. Um, a little bit of a tough game here. He only had eight points in this game. Um, and it was mainly from, you know, the 52 yards he had. 4.7 yards per carry, so it was good, but he only actually ran the ball 11 times and had two targets in this game as well. I I do still think he projects well the rest of the season, but this was a tough game for him. Um, and again, the question there is going to be how much is game involved? Can he stay healthy? And how much is that offense going to be favorable for a running back in fantasy football? So, he'll be the last guy here in the D tier.

Yeah. So, multiple guys here in the F tier that we kind of just know what they are at this point. David Montgomery, Jordan Mason, and Chase Brown. I mean, Montgomery is a running back, too, in his own offense. Very low floor, very high ceiling. Kind of a toss-up any given week what he's going to do. Jordan Mason, he's going to be super super relevant until Aaron Jones comes back and then his floor will be lowered a ton. Chase Brown, uh, kind of the product of a really bad offense and he wasn't efficient to begin with. So, no efficiency or minimal efficiency with like one of the bottom offenses in the league. It's just not going to be pretty there rest of the season. And then you've got uh Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle, who I really want to focus on here. I I mean, we've got them in the same tier here because Rico Dowdle looks better than Chuba literally ever has. Even the Chuba Hubbard highs that we had last season were never quite to the point at what Rico has been offering for this offense the past couple of weeks. He's been like the main reason that they've won those two games. And granted, it was Miami and Dallas, two of the worst run defenses in the NFL, but he still kind of offers another dimension in that run game that Chuba Hubbard just doesn't because he can take on a bell cow workload and he's very explosive on the ground. He has just have has big play upside there and Chuba just doesn't offer that as consistently. He doesn't necessarily have that build. That being said, I wouldn't be shocked if you end up seeing a 50-50 split here between Chuba and Dowdle, which could cap both of their ceilings. That's why they're both in the F tier. And then Tony Pollard, uh, he actually was on the field less than Taj Spears was this week. Uh, that was pretty quick. Taj Spears gets back from this injury. They immediately implement him in the offense. And guess what? Spears isn't productive as as well. We'll talk about Spears here, I think, in the next tier. Uh, but it's not pretty in Tennessee. They just fired Callahan. I don't think it's going to get any better because they basically just elevated their offensive coordinator in the interim. So, there's no schematic change or anything that's really going to go on there. It's just going to be probably the same a lot of or the same amount of gross.

It's ugly there. It's really ugly. The G tier is also very ugly. Will Levis, um, obviously they had a bye this week, so we didn't hear much from him. Trayvon, I've had to move Trayvon down. I've had to move Raheem Mostert down. You don't want to start either of them. Like, that's just the reality is Trayvon is this, you know, oh, he's going to break out. He's going to break out. Don't want to start him. I I mean, until he starts producing, until they show that they're actually going to give him like a consistent role where he can actually consistently perform from a fantasy football perspective, I'm not going to move him up yet. Trey Benson hopefully coming back from IR in a couple weeks. We'll keep him here because he does have probably top 20 running back upside when he is back, but until then he's in the 30s. Kamani Vidal, we had to move up. Um you're going to have him for um that this was the first week that Hampton technically had missed. So three more weeks plus maybe one or two more after that. So four to five weeks of Kamani Vidal is going to put him in the 30s for us. Again, he's a good rental, but when Hampton's back, I don't think he's going to be much. Rachaad White is one of those guys that right now he's kind of like Kamani Vidal. You have him for two or three more weeks as a starter and then he's going back to being somebody you don't want to start in your lineup. We already talked about Raheem Mostert and we already talked about with Walker, you don't want to start him. R.J. Harvey continues to not get enough work to be productive even though he was a high-end rookie pick. Kareem Hunt continues to get red zone carries which is nice for him, but he's so hit or miss that you don't want to start him in any given week either. Like Kareem Hunt this last week had four points after having 18 in week five because he didn't have a touchdown. Like he's just not getting enough carries or snap share or anything. You just do not want to start that guy. But he is the top guy there. Aaron Jones should be back at um from IR I think this week or next week. Eight week eight returns. So that's that's two weeks from now. Um we'll see how involved he gets there. I don't think he's going to be very good either. And then Ty Spears like Nathan mentioned, you know, he could find himself moving up here in the G tier here pretty quickly because he is the only guy that's getting actual respectable work here and he does have like legitimate receiving upside in the worst offense maybe in the NFL with no head coach now. So that's the problem, right? But nine points in his second game back and he had four receptions for 19 yards which contributed to six of his nine fantasy points. So um all these guys are ugly. And then the H tier is the more ugly guys, right? Kenneth Gainwell, Elijah Mitchell, Curtis Samuel, Pacheco, Michael Carter, and Chuba. You don't want to start any of these guys realistically.

Let's jump over to wide receivers here and start this real quick.

We'll start in the S tier here with wide receivers. Look, Puka can't be in his own tier now because Puka might miss time. Puka might miss a week or two. If we knew Puka was going to be healthy, he would still be in his own tier, but obviously a slower week from him because he had an ankle foot injury. And so we'll go Puka Nacua, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and in Jackson Smith-Njigba here. The good thing is the Rams have a bye after this week. So, it's probably going to be lines up pretty well for Puka still. Um, Amon-Ra St. Brown has continued to be he's the wide receiver two in fantasy football right now and he has been very good all year and he had 17 more points without a touchdown the last two games without a touchdown for Amon-Ra St. Brown. 18 and 13 points. I misspoke. 13 points, not 17. But still, his floor is extremely high. And Jackson Smith-Njigba, man, he's the wide receiver, too, in fantasy football right now. And he continually gets 10-plus targets a game, has eight-plus receptions a game, and the week where he scores touchdowns, he's dropping 30 bombs. His yardage is also off the charts. His yardage is ridiculous. Jackson Smith-Njigba looks like one of the best wide receivers in the NFL right now. He is very good. All three of these guys have been a tier above all of their cohorts in the A tier.

Yeah, as we're going to start with CeeDee Lamb in the A tier. Could easily find himself in the S tier here very soon. Just want to see how healthy he looks, how good he looks after this ankle injury, which clearly was affecting his ability to like run routes when he initially injured it. Um, and then you you have Pickens producing at a very high level. Again, just want to see him come back on the field and produce like he was before. Then he'll be in the S tier. Nothing against CeeDee Lamb. Justin Jefferson um and Ja'Marr Chase will be back to back here. Um I think Avery and I have them flipped. They're they're both very good rest of the season. Jefferson has really come into his own um in this new situation uh with Carson Wentz/J.J. McCarthy. We trust him long-term a lot more than we do anybody else in that offense. He's Justin Jefferson. Same with Ja'Marr Chase. He's going to have very very very good weeks. You've seen his floor in this situation as well. Hopefully, and again, I'm I hope this even though I hope I'm I hope I'm wrong, but I am still hopeful that Joe Flacco can help raise the floor of Ja'Marr Chase's um production on a weekly basis. Again, I was more on the side of I don't know if he will raise the floor. Avery thinks he does raise the floor quite a bit. I hope Avery's right um because that would be awesome because I have way too many shares of Chase. Uh Drake London looks phenomenal. He looks like one of the best wide receivers in the NFL as well after dropping 30-plus points. Most of that coming in the first half of the game against uh the the Buffalo Bills in uh this past week on Monday night. Uh and honestly, that could have been 36 or 37 points easily if he hadn't stepped out of bounds there at the at the end zone. So, um Drake London, as long as he gets he's getting this target volume, he's going to be phenomenal. Uh Avery did mention this though. There is a stark difference between when Mooney is on the field and when Mooney is not on the field. There's like a direct correlation with London's volume and it does go down notably when Mooney is healthy. So he was already close to being ready to go. Mooney was this week. He ended up not and now he will be expected to come back next week. So we'll see what happens there with the target distribution. Romeo Doubs had a down week against Washington. It was a rainy game. They were clicking on all cylinders in the run uh game with DeAndre Swift who looked very very solid. We're not too worried about Doubs. He should bounce back. And then Nico Collins lower than than what we're used to seeing. Honestly haven't seen the crazy ceiling that that we saw the last couple of years. Hopefully he can get back to that um fresh off the bye and then Rashee Rice. Have to put him in this A tier. We're expecting a lot from him. Yeah, we're projecting very high for for Rashee Rice at this point. We both have him at wide receiver 10. I think that's very merited. Uh you've you've seen Andy Reid, Mahomes, everybody in that offense talk about Rashee Rice and it's like they have every single one of them has like a twinkle in their eye when they talk about Rashee Rice. They are legit giddy about this guy. Take the hand. Um so get ready. He's going to ball. Yeah. And by the way, Nathan said if Avery is Jamar right about Jamar Chase, I am right about Jamar Chase. His utilization score last week according to Fantasy Live. Best in the NFL at 97. The lack of utilization here, he's going to throw to Jamar Chase all the freaking time, which is exactly what I knew he would do.

B tier. Amon-Ra St. Brown. Um it's tough because he should be in the A tier, but he's having the MRI. I think today is when he's having it. So, we actually don't know at the time of recording this video. Yeah, he's we're recording this Tuesday. He's having the MRI today. We'll see. It doesn't look particularly good. But I think he could be out until at least week 10 with the hamstring injury, one that he's already kind of been favoring this season. So, it's kind of bad. Uh Courtland Sutton on the other hand, you know, Sutton was again involved in a very ugly game against New York. It had only two points. Everybody in that game was ugly. It was just the worst. London games suck. I don't like them. I don't like the 9:30 a.m. I don't like that they travel across the country. I don't or across the world. I I don't like that they don't score any fantasy points. Davante Adams only had seven points as well. He could get a a temporary value bump um without Puka being there. Something to kind of note here, 97 and 13 points in the games where he doesn't have touchdowns this year. You see his floor probably the lowest that it's been in his career when he's not scoring touchdowns. And that's not concerning. It's still reason to rank him very high. But um it is something worth noting. Zay Flowers, on the other hand, um look with the Ravens this week, uh Zay only had eight points, but he did have 10 targets. And so again, that's kind of what we're saying. The utilization has really been there for Zay this year. He's only scored one touchdown in the year as well, and he's the wide receiver 17. I think you're going to see some positive touchdown regression um for for Zay Flowers. Uh Drake London, you did see positive touchdown regression for finally, but the volume wasn't there. And so we we expect both things to come together and for him to remain right in this wide receiver 2 range. George Pickens, I have him ranked at 14. Nathan has him ranked at 20. He's probably the guy we disagree on the most in this rank in these rankings. Um and and I had him where Nathan had him. I I don't know. He's like the wide receiver five right now. Like he is but but CeeDee Lamb is coming back and so where do you actually why is he four on the season? He scored a touchdown in every game but one this year but you've got CD coming back. So like realistically what do you think is going to happen when CD comes back? His volume is going to decrease but he just looks really good. And so I I we've got him somewhere. It's funny the difference is a good compromise here. Even if he's boom-bust when Lamb is back if his boom is still 30-plus points then he'll finish as a wide receiver 14. Exactly. And so like I think I think where we have him here is like the wide receiver 17 is a good compromise. If you have Pickens, he's an absolute hold. Jaylen Waddle is somebody that we're higher on uh than than most of the guys on the flock side actually. Um but I mean I I I I think with Waddle, you saw him have another solid game this week. He's actually a wide receiver one on the season right now. Wide receiver 12 after six weeks, another 15 points this week. I think Waddle's really good rest of the season. Then Brian Thomas Jr. jumps back into this tier. Look, Brian Thomas Jr. the main concern with him was that he's his uh his chemistry with Trevor Lawrence looked bad. And this week he had 23 points and he could have had another 50-yard touchdown. And so 10 targets, eight receptions, 90 yards, and a touchdown. This is what we needed to see for Brian Thomas Jr. No, I don't think he's washed. Yes, I thought he was always going to rebound. I think he's going to keep I think he's going to keep this going. I think him and Trevor Lawrence have kind of found it again. They're going to need Brian Thomas Jr. with as competitive as this team is starting to look and so I think the utilization is going to continue there in a positive way for BTJ.

Yeah, CeeDee Lamb is going to start here with Deebo. He had a slow week against Chicago. Everybody there had a slow week in Washington. Um, I also would attribute some of that to being the fact that he was a game-time decision. Uh, pretty banged up this week. Hopefully he can recover from that and be fine long term. Uh, A.J. Brown, I'm tired of talking about A.J. Brown. Um, he he had a productive week this past week. I don't think he had a touchdown though, but he had a good amount of volume. He has high upside with whatever volume he ends up getting any any given week. He's boom-bust to a lesser degree. He's like a worse version of George Pickens right now. Honestly, that's that's what he is. Uh, Xavier Worthy is also going to be here. I do not think that Worthy and Rashee Rice are mutually exclusive assets. I don't think that Xavier Worthy caps Rashee Rice's ceiling. Those of you who believe that are literally just coping. Um Xavier Worthy can be very productive in this offense as well. Salvage's week last week with a touchdown. I I think the floodgates are going to open for everybody in this offense once Rashee is back. I mean, what he offers in the short intermediate game is it's it's going to work wonders for their play calling and really opening up the field for explosive play opportunities for Xavier Worthy specifically. Marvin Harrison, um I have a wide receiver 28. I'm done with Marv. Uh Avery has him at 22. Um so we're a little bit uh different there. Low end wide receiver 2 versus high end to mid wide receiver three. Uh part of it is I moved Marv down because he is going to miss a game and then he got the bye week um because of the concussions. So, that's a little bit of a knock on him, but look, I just This is not Marv's fault for a guy that's watched plenty of Marv this year. Like, the drops were disappointing earlier in the season. He kind of got over that. He's looking really solid. And Kyler just is so mid, it's not even funny. I legit like would prefer Jacoby Brissett long-term over Kyler in that offense, and we're not going to get that. Uh DK Metcalf, uh just continuing to be productive. It took him a little bit of time. Uh, but he's starting to really connect consistently with Aaron Rodgers, which is nice to see. Uh, nine targets, which was more than we'd ever seen in the first month of the season for the Steelers. And DK, hopefully he can kind of maintain that target volume. Uh, he's got a good good lineup here over the next few weeks with Cincinnati, Green Bay, secondary, and then Indy. Uh, I think DK could have a really, really nice solid stretch here. Then we got Chris Godwin, just consistent volume across the board, always just in a bad offense. Um, and then DeVonta Smith, very similar to A.J. Brown. I think they deserve to share the same tier at this point. I mean, DeVonta Smith has had more productive games than A.J. Brown and vice versa all week or all year long. Uh, you never really know who's going to be the top option there in terms of fantasy production any given week. And then QJ and La'Mekka Niukoni will now be in the same tier here. Um, you could give the nod to La'Mekka long-term. I wouldn't have an issue with it if you if you really wanted to. Uh, Lad, I think is more talented. QJ is on the up, but he's been banged up. So hopefully he can get over this hamstring and be more productive. I think we'll learn a lot this week against a cooked cooked Colts secondary uh where both of these guys honestly could be productive.

Moving down to the next tier. It's a little baby tier here. Uh Michael Pittman had a slower week, but he still isn't a great offense and is and has high touchdown upside every single week. Um so we're we're going to continue to rank him here um as a, you know, mid wide receiver three. Mike Evans, kind of the same thing. Nathan and I actually disagree on Mike Evans by 14 spots. He has he has him wide receiver 23. I have him wide receiver 37. Um I I don't I don't think Mike Evans going to be back to week 10. So that's why I'm ranking there. Really? Yeah. Oh, they didn't put him on. Team Team hopeful will practice this week. Maybe he's going to be back. I don't know. Yeah, that's why they didn't. Every update I've seen though has said so honestly I'd have to move him up even more than this. I think because there's because there's no Ibuka and Godwin's been injured. Yeah, I was going to say now that you don't have Ibuka. The reason I was ranking him lower was because of Ibuka and because he was hurt. But if you don't have those two things, obviously rank them much higher. Now, I probably wouldn't go 23. I'd probably put him more at the um late um late 20s. Um but but still, so a little bit higher than what I have. So, so another thing too that I don't know if you know about, but Chris Godwin uh they already announced him out for the Monday night game. Yeah, I did know that. Like already, which means he's probably going to miss even more time than this. Yeah. And so it's probably just going to be Evans there, but rest of the season, I mean, I coming back and like I'm thinking about in the playoffs as well. Mike Evans still has a pretty high re-injury risk and Ibuka is going to be back and when I think he's the number one wide receiver in this offense to be honest with you and so I would I would still rank him like I would I would move him up and rank him like in the high 30s low 20s and would it would bump his average up maybe to the next tier. Um so a little bit of real-time discussion on on Mike Evans there. Jamo had a good game. His only one of his only good games against the season. I play him in the flock league and he goes off whatever. It's fine. I wasn't mad. Definitely didn't say mean things about him. Um and we but but here's the thing. We've been telling you all year that with Jameson Williams, yeah, he's going to have these games and then he's going to have games where he has zero and then he's going to have a game where he has one. And it's just he's just so hit or miss. I'm really glad he had a good game. Um 18 points against the Kansas City Chiefs. He had seven targets, six receptions. Um but he has had games of four, three, and one target this year as well. And you're just going it's just going to be hit or miss for Jamo. You just got to try to guess when the hits are. And then T. Higgins, I move T. Higgins back up my rankings a little bit here to wide receiver 30 just because T. Higgins, I mean, eight targets with Joe Flacco at the helm. 11.2 points is not his season high. Um, but without a touchdown, he had the season high in receptions and five receptions, which is a very good sign for T. Higgins because he really didn't get it going with Joe Burrow in game one and then Joe Burrow got hurt and then since then he has not been able to haul in any of the passes that have come his way. He's kind of just gotten these garbage targets from Jake Browning. Flacco is better at getting T. Higgins the ball. Like T. Higgins was getting a lot more catchable targets. He got tackled right at the goal line, too. He was he was he almost had 17. So, I did move T. up. He's the last guy in this tier, but he's actually looking to project a little bit better now with Flacco as his quarterback.

Terry McLaurin at the top of the F tier. When's he going to be back healthy? I don't know. What's he going to look like? I don't know. He's never had an elite amount of target volume, no matter who's been quarterback in that situation ever. He's just kind of that type of skill set of a wide receiver. He can have a really great week any given week. He can be really, really disappointing. Um, and again, he's not healthy right now. So, when's he going to be back? Like, seriously, that's why he's going to be in the F tier. Hopefully this week. Um, but he'll be he he's playing the Cowboys, too. He's gonna have 25 this week against the Cowboys. I I hope so. That'd be great. Um, or Ricky Pierol also going to be here. He's also another guy that's been banged up, injured. Don't know when he's going to be back. Hopefully this week for him as well. Uh, but with KD coming back healthy, uh, expected to be back this week. You just don't know what that target distribution is going to look like there. Uh, long term. Stefon Diggs, very boom-bust. Kendrick Bourne this week or this past week. It was Diggs the two weeks before that. Uh, you just never know with the with the Patriots wide receiver room. It's kind of going to be volatile. I would expect rest of the season. Jordan Addison, honestly, we would both be higher on Jordan if uh J.J. McCarthy wasn't looming every J.J. McCarthy return at least. I mean, that that target volume is cut in half once McCarthy is back in and playing. That's why I have Jefferson, not Chase, by the way. Yeah, you mentioned I think that's fair. The uh Carson Wentz experience as as shaky as he is as a true quarterback does provide way way way more volume for both of these guys and it was still even with it was difficult to watch Addison in those games because he had to salvage his days both weeks with like last second touchdowns or last second big plays. Uh Keenan Allen continues to move down our rankings. He's looking to potentially be the three there. Um and then Chris Godwin banged up. Don't know when he's going to be back healthy. They already declared him out for this week um like on what was it Sunday night or something this past Sunday night. So I mean he could miss a significant amount of time here. Don't draft injured players. Duper sucks. Super duper sucks.

All right, starting in the G tier with Jakobi Meyers. It's unfortunate man. It's unfortunate. We again I mentioned this. It's just funny how this works. We got so much crap after week two and not ranking him higher and we ranked him higher and he's not done anything since. Like legit done nothing. Um with no Bowers there by the way. Not sure. I can't. Trey Tucker. Trey Tucker is I have Trey Tucker, I think, ranked in the same tier here, right? I I have Jacobi at 35. Okay. Not Not quite, but I do have Trey Tucker at 48. You have him at 79. Yeah, I just haven't moved him up. So, oops. Uh, you can put Trey Tucker in here. Yeah, I was going to say I think you kind of have to cuz he's been I think out producing I think. So, so Jacobi Jacobi Myers wide receiver 35 on the season. Uh, Trey Tucker wide receiver 10. So, yeah. Put Trey Tucker. You know, he had he had a 40-point game. It's kind of skewing that. But even the last two games, 11 and 12 points compared to Jacob Myers, seven and seven points. Six and five targets compared to six and four targets for so like I mean Tucker's been fine. Like so you know we'll put him in this tier as well I think. Um but it's just it kind of sucks. I don't really can't really explain why he hasn't done anything. Uh DJ Moore man what a it's just it's just so mid. He's the wide receiver 51 on the year man and he's had a bye week but like he's just bad like just not good. Like he's not okay he's not bad. He's there's no volume. That's a better way to put it. Khalil Shakir is very hit or miss. He should have had a good game with the game script uh in the Monday night game and had six points. So, we're kind of disappointed in that. Josh Downs continues to rise up these rankings after we had Josh Downs, somebody we really liked at the beginning of the season. Why were 44 now on the year and you see the production slowly ticking up in that offense. The problem is again, he's only on the field for about 50% of the snaps. Like, so he had a touchdown this last game and he's been getting the target volume some of the other games, but there are games where he's not going to have either of those and he is going to have a pretty low floor at this point because he's only on the field for 50% of the snaps. Not I don't think he's on the field for like many of the one or two wide receiver sets at this point. You do you do not feel great flexing Josh Downs. Not with the way JT's playing. But I do think he's higher upside than a lot of these these other guys. Now Wan'Dale Robinson's a guy that Nathan just traded for in the flock league that you actually do feel okay flexing. I think um seven and seven targets since Malik Neighbors went down the last two weeks. And also, you know, Wan'Dale has big play ability and he has touchdown upside. And so um really you're you're buying him to be a PPR merchant though and he's just kind of a high floor uh flex option for you. And so that's where what he'll do in this offense. And then Cooper Kupp and Matthew Golden. I swapped these guys in the flock league, but realistically, you know, I I think I think the rest of the creators have um Cooper Kupp about eight spots lower than this. Nathan and I both have him ranked around 45. Um and let's see if it checks out. So far in the season, he's the wide receiver 43. Like we have him ranked about in accordance with what he's doing. And it's not necessarily been great because he's only had like two games where he's had six or more targets and he's only had one touchdown this year. So that's why I think we're ranking him here like he's performing at this level but this is probably I mean as low as we were on Kupp like he's still like somewhat productive and so him and Golden we have back to back. Golden's obviously trending up. Matthew Golden this last game had 13 points. Got 10, 11, 13 points. You started to get three straight double-digit games from Matthew Golden. Another guy though that's only on the field 60-70% of the time and also the target volume is just not there and he's going to have to have some yardage to to rack up points and so they're both just risky flex plays but they're going to be the last guys here in the G tier.

And then the Ace tier, let me just finish it out here. JuJu Smith-Schuster, he's got to stay healthy. Calvin Ridley, we moved down because of a hamstring. Keon Coleman didn't produce in a game script where he should have. Darnell Mooney has been hurt. Rashee Rice, uh, you could put him higher on this list as well. I have him about nine spots higher than Nathan because Rice's quietly like the wide receiver.

28 on the season. Uh, he's been he's been solid and he has some really big boom games as well. Um, and and so, you know, Shahid is somebody you feel decent about flexing, he's dirt cheap. Jerry Judy has been certified cheeks this year. And also with Dylan Gabriel, that situation is not getting better. He's the widest year, 55 on the year. And then Travis Hunter. Hunter I mean he he's playing more snaps which is great. He had more targets which is great but still hasn't scored in double digit fantasy points once this season and that's a big problem. And so um there we'll have him and then Alec I man we did move up a little bit because of the Calvin Ridley injury as well. Keep an eye on guys like Luther Burton who had a decent game this week.

So let's move over to tight ends here real quick. S tier is going to be a big S tier here because none of these guys are like really separating themselves like Bowowers did last year. So, McBride, Warren, KD, Ferguson, Bowers. Like, >> yeah, I I just executive decision here. I'm moving Bowers down to the A tier. >> I have Bowers in my AE. >> So, they just said an announcement just came out that uh Bowers could be out for the long haul. >> I mean, if that's the case, and I would move him down pretty significantly here. Like, I'd probably take I would take Leapora over him. Kelsey probably got it in Craft. >> I mean, when you hear long haul, you're probably thinking most season at least a few more weeks. Yeah. >> Well, well past the by-week. So I I I I mentioned this. I I actually already had him in my A tier. Like I've not been ranking him in the S tier just because of this. Yeah, long haul. You are right. I do see that. Oh man, that's on Monday. >> Okay. Well, we'll put him in the A tier. So we'll just talk about maybe even lower.

McBride, Warren, KD, and Ferguson. I mean, those are the guys that have been giving you like a distinct advantage. Uh KD, not so much cuz he's been hurt, but now that he's back with no wide receivers there, he's going to crush. Trust me, you definitely rest of the season would rather have KD than all the guys in the AT. I'll let you talk about that.

Yeah. Uh Sam Leaporta, Brock Bowers just mentioned. Again, we might be moving Brock Bowers down even lower here once we get more news about how long he's actually going to be out. Um but yeah, that that one's TBD. Sam Leaporta um has had some pretty productive uh days the last couple of weeks um against Kansas City. He had 16 points, 20 points against Cincinnati, but before that for three straight weeks in the single digits. Quite literally, Sam Leaporta is touchdown or bust here because the volume never goes up. He is explosive with his volume. He does have high upside with his volume. Like for any given catch that he gets, he could have 20, 30 yards, but again, you are relying for a big day with Sam Leaporta, you are relying on a touchdown. And that's what he's been able to do the last couple of weeks. Hopefully, he can continue this against Tampa Bay. But again, he does I mean, he is better and does provide a an advantage compared to the other tight ends that we're going to have in the B tier.

Um, also in this A tier, we're going to have Kelsey, who I think uh has has been uh decently productive to start the season, and I think that will continue with the way that Mahomes is playing right now. Am she rice coming back. Hopefully that just helps open up space for Travis Kelce. He can find some some soft spots in the zone and just kind of be a PPR merchant like he's been for so long in Kansas City. Uh Tucker Craft not going to get near as much volume as anybody else in this tier. um very similar to Laaporta honestly but in not as great of an offense which is why we have him ranked a little bit lower but he does have high upside and then Dallas Goddard um again been a product of a ridiculous amount of like unprecedented touchdown volume at the moment but if that continues and they continue to utilize him that way in the red zone um it's been working for him maybe not for that offense as a whole but he's been like the only bright spot of their bright spot of their offense consistently um while Philly has been struggling through the first six weeks offensively. So, uh, hopefully this can continue for Goddard. He is a great true NFL tight end. It just doesn't always, uh, translate to, um, production, but it is this year. So, I want to give him credit. Dalton Concincaid as well, uh, with Josh Allen there. He he's been getting a good amount of volume consistently this season. Um, he had he had six targets against New England. He didn't play Monday night, which is why we're not going to knock him that much like for for for being out one game um because of an oblique. Hopefully after the buy he's ready to go. That's the only reason honestly that they declared him out against Atlanta is to rest him up for multiple weeks. Carolina, Kansas City, Miami, Tampa, great great slate form for for the next four weeks after the buy in week seven.

Um and then I'll just close out the B and the C here. Got a ton of guys here that are streamable. Pits Fannon, Henry, Hawinson, and Jooku. Um any one of those guys we're totally cool with. Uh Zack Z finally coming on with Daniels now again, which is nice to see. Waller is touchdown or bus. Mark Andrews is touchdown or bus. C tier, just guys that you're even less comfortable with. Uh Jawan Johnson, Mason Taylor, Evan Ingram, uh AJ Barner, Theo Johnson, Dalton Schultz, John Smith, and Coulson Lovelin will be in this tier.

All right, let's go to QBs now here real quick to wrap it up. Um look, top three QBs for us are Allen, Mahomes, and Jackson pretty much in any order. Uh do keep in mind that Patrick Mahomes is the quarterback one and the number one overall fantasy football player right now in terms of production. Now, you know, how how how much do you expect his rushing upside to hold up is what everybody's saying. Well, it's been six weeks. How long are we going to say that before we just say, "Oh, you actually might be have some rushing upside this year with the way that their offense is set up." Mahomes looks really good. Um I, you know, I think Baker should probably be the favorite for MVP right now, but people continually want to discount what Patrick Mahomes is doing, not only from an NFL perspective, but from a fantasy perspective as well. Like, let's let's just acknowledge that he is scoring a ton of fantasy points right now. >> Stop blaming the refs on everything. >> It's just ridiculous. And Allen has been kind of mid for a lot of games this season. and he's had one really really good Josh Allen game and outside of that it's like eh whereas Mahomes has been consistent and Lamar's been hurt and so any of these three guys you want to take I would the eight tier is going to be Herz Daniels Baker Drake May um we'll we'll cut it there but like these are the guys that have been uh you know they still have the rushing upside with Herz and Daniels Daniels had a decent game on Monday night uh Baker Mayfield uh you know he's been consistently scoring high fantasy points and so has Drake May here um and you could even throw Dak Prescott. I'm actually going to put Dak in this tier as backs the quarterback three on the season and realistically with as much as they are down and their defense is so bad but their offense is so good he is going to score a lot of fantasy points in most games this year so I'm going to throw him in this tier just out of respect to him and the fact that he is producing at a very high level but any of these guys are like the above average QBs you have the guys in the S tier you have an elite QB if you have the guys in the A tier you have an above average QB that's giving you an advantage every week the guys in the B tier is where you start getting like yeah on most weeks they're a very good start here but they can be somewhat replaceable by guys in the Ctier at times

>> yeah I mean Caleb Williams any given week he can have 20 plus points Justin Herbert a lot of passing volume right now. Um, and a pretty decent outlook over the next couple of weeks. He's got the Colts this week, so um, he should be very productive then. And with no Hampton, again, he's going to pass the ball a lot. Daniel Jones, uh, he he gets a couple rushing touchdowns, he's had a few this season, and his passing volume is, even with JT producing at the level that he is right now in Indie, this offense is so explosive and looking so solid that Jones has still been productive as a passer. Jackson Dart just has a rushing upside that we never knew that he could showcase at that high of a level. Um but again, the situation is is looking a lot better. He's really elevated the situation in in New York with Cam Scaboo. Um and that that rushing upside definitely raises his floor. Uh Ctier, a lot of pocket passers, right? Jared Gooff Bicks, Sam Darnold, Jordan Love, Matt Stafford. We had to move up into this tier because he's generally very productive. That one was kind of fluky against Baltimore. where they lost Puka in the middle of the game. You might have a slower week with no puka again against Jacksonville, but after the bye-week, expect Stafford to kind of continue what he's been doing most of the season. And then a couple rushing guys. Justin Fields, his his upside is 30 points. His floor, because he is so gosh dang awful, is like three points. Legit, it's three points. Um, and then Kyler Murray is not giving you a competitive advantage, but he's not screwing you. Um, and then you got the Dtier, a bunch of guys here that are streamable. A couple of banged up guys. Brock Party banged up. He could find himself in the C tier if he comes back healthy and can be consistent. But PennX, Lawrence, Straoud, Gino to uh etc, etc. No, nobody here really you're you comfortable starting any given week.
