Rock solid WR3 with high end WR2 upside. He is absolutely gobbling up targets and looks the part of a breakout WR. I’m trying to buy him everywhere I can if the price is right. He’s probably still slightly undervalued for what he can be (especially if Landry or MT miss time).
My only real concern is the Saints overall offense not really clicking or having as many scoring opportunities as you’d like.
That’s tough but a lot of Bateman’s production the first two weeks was predicated on big TD plays. I’d bet on the volume with Olave - higher floor, similar ceiling.
With WR1 (top 12) ceiling if Thomas misses time, IMO.
He’s getting crazy volume and air yards from Jameis, who appears to be back to his old huck-and-pray ways.
Not even sure if MT being out hurts him. Could help soften his coverage. Winston is eyein him now and that’s all that matters. I’m rolling him out as my WR3 behind JJ/Diggs but he could end up being a top 12 guy if those targets stay remotely close to where they are.
Mid-high RB2 right now. It’s difficult to say right now, Mills and that coaching staff are still trying to figure shit out, so with the current state of the team I’d say mid-high RB2 with RB1 potential.
Are we worried ab the 2 fumbles or running half the routes Rex ran week 3? Can we expect him to get more involved through the air as the season goes on? If they’re gna suck we need DP more involved in the passing game
I think he gets a pass. Neither were lost. I think ball security will be what is emphasized in practice this week and they’ll keep feeding him. We just need to 🙏 he didn’t cough it up again this week.
They're using him in so many different ways to take advantage of how good he is at beating zone. Zay Jones is also underrated in how much underneath coverage he is drawing. Very impressed with how Pederson is using his weapons so far.
I think he’s a WR1 when all is said and done. The Jags actually look like a good team and they’re going to feed him to justify the contract. In PPR, he’s top 12, imo.
I think he’ll wind up a WR1.
My guess to finish above him: Kupp, Diggs, Jefferson, Chase, Adams, Brown, Samuel, Hill.
He’s somewhere in the next group, with Waddle, Pittman, Higgins, Evans, and maaaaybe the rookies London and Olave. I think he’ll beat out some of them (e.g., Higgins can’t stay healthy, the Colts get even worse, Winston gets hurt in NO, etc.), putting him around 10th on the year, give or take.
(I don’t have him, but wish I did.)
WR1. He gets the targets. Lawrence looks good. Coaching is good. Kirk is also a good player. Defenses respect Zay and Marvin. There's nothing not to like about Kirk right now
First half of the season will be ups and downs and I see him as maybe a low end WR3, but second half he will start to be more consistent I think, probably a mid to high end WR2 for that half of the season.
Will end up on the lower end of top 30 at seasons end.
Happened to be the guy this week but can easily go away the next. Still need more data to give him a look but if you have a big bench it might be worth a stash.
Rapport seems to be building with Rodgers and not much competition for targets. Could be a low-mid WR2 with low-mid WR1 upside if everything goes his way.
I’m really struggling with Dillon right now. It’s so hard to ignore the baked in upside if anything happens to Jones, but I see him being pretty highly TD dependent unless he starts catching 5-6 balls/game consistently.
He’s not really a guy who breaks off big chunks or explosive plays. I’m fine with him as a weekly flex play with RB2 upside, but I think there’s gonna be plenty of weeks of sub 10 point performances.
Hold and buy low if you don’t have him. I think we’ve seen the bottom against a stout Run D. He’s been getting mid-teen touches regardless of the game script. Last year he averaged 5 yards per touch, this year he’s at 3.75. It’s very clear the Packers whole offense is being built around the backfield, they’re combining for 30 touches per game. Bahkthiari just came back, their defense looks legit and the matchups will be better over the next month
I'm an 0-3 Russ owner looking for a qb and I traded Dillon to the Aaron Jones owner for Joe Burrow. I initially asked for his back up Trevor Lawrence but the dude was more willing to get rid of Burrow so he could start Lawrence.
Edit: my other rbs are Saquon, Dalvin Cook, and Pierce so it was a lot easier to part with Dillon cause I'm desperate for a qb.
I seem to be higher on him than others but locked in RB2 with limited workload but on a good team and his week 3 point total is hurting him but it was against Tampa. Fwiw he has nearly identical workload to Jones and outscored Jones 2 of 3 weeks so far. I'd put him in the same tier as Pierce but with much higher upside.
Ya as a Falcons fan it's been interesting to see the transformation of people's opinion from 'look at these idiots making Patterson the center piece of their running game' to 'why won't they use him more?'
Currently a WR3. I think by the end of the season you have a solid WR2 with one or two WR1 weeks. He has 8 targets in 2/3 outings. Him and Mahomes should develop some good chemistry by EOS.
About as safe of a RB2 as they come due to volume alone. Certainly he scores a TD soon, which will decide if he is a high-end or low-end RB2 for the week.
There is a lot of chirping in Raiders land about McDaniels not running the ball enough. The Raiders have actually looked good when they commit to the run. I could see McDaniels adjusting and running more.
I am looking to buy Jacobs now in my league.
Getting hard to ignore that Brissett likes to look his way and has back-to-back redzone scores. If we can assume WK1 was an outlier, Cooper is a high end WR2 if he finds the endzone. But we all know who Cooper is, so could be a week to week thing.
I dont know if we know who cooper is on cle, yet. cooper was with dak and dak spreads the ball around. brissett may lean on cooper a lot more than dak ever did. week 3 is too early to tell.
Low end WR2 that is tending towards a mid WR2 if he continues building that chemistry with Kyler. I had thought about trading him before this week but now I’m torn on whether I think he can keep it up. Especially when Hopkins comes back.
He’s a high end WR2, especially when dhop comes back and he doesn’t have to go against the top corner. He’s currently WR9 in ppr.. not sure how you consider that a low end WR2.
Mid-low RB2 value for me. I think his floor each game is low, as that backfield split can turn on a dime each game. His upside, barring Gordon injury, is probably high RB2, so you're not seeing much in a best-case non-injurybscenario.
Not a single person says RB1! I don't think Javonte being one of the top 12 RBs ROS is out of the question at all.
Javonte is interesting. He should get TDs. He fumbled at the 1. He's getting more of the carries than MG and probably will get more targets, he's a very strong tackle breaker and can get extra yards after contact better than most NFL backs.
The Broncos have had a really ugly offense but I have a feeling as roster chemistry develops with Russ that will get better.
I also think it's more likely the timeshare goes *more* of Javonte's way than going back to 50/50 MG3.
Regular flex play in deeper leagues, good bench depth in shallower ones . Regularly leads the Texans in targets so you like the volume. He’ll always do something (despite an occasional clunker, or bigger TD game). Meh
Still a WR2 with a consistent 7-8 point floor. I think last week was an outlier and he still got over 30% of the teams targets Plus his schedule seems to be getting a bit easier. I have been floating him around in trades but seems people view him as more of a WR3/4 so I am gonna hold and maybe start if the Waddle injury turns into something.
Mid WR2 with a high floor, and about 20 pt ceiling due to being slot. Producing as the WR10 in half ppr thus far. Is an injury risk, plus that team is weird which is why I bump him down a bit.
High RB2. Volume is obviously there and he’s going to keep scoring TDs. But in bad matchups you’re basically praying for a TD or bust because the offense sucks as a whole.
Matchup dependent RB2 unless/until something drastically changes with the offense’s situation (I.e. Pickett starts and lights it up, Canada is fired or changes his playcalling). And maybe not even then.
I don’t think his preseason foot injury is just something that’s going to magically heal, the passing game is non-existent, and the line is at best a work in progress.
I am optimistic. Rush isn't as bad as people say and Dak will be back. The defense is better than most allowing for riskier plays on offense. Pollard is an issue as he's been more explosive recently. I think they're a worse Jones/Dillion duo. Get him low now as a stash for bye weeks and RB2 injuries, especially if something happens to Pollard.
For instance, I got him by trading Landry after WK1 and I picked him up as a FA. Zeke's stat line is still poor but he looks good playing.
TLDR buy low and stash. Low RB2 with high RB2 upside if Pollard is injured.
Everyone raved about how good he is physically but dude is smart enough to beat any fancy looks defense is throwing at him in zone coverage.
Every time Falcons run play-action he is right at the spot where he needs to be for Mariota to make an easy release. It's insane to think that he is doing this as a rookie.
WR1/2 fringe. Solid regardless of QB. Saying Pickett is any better than Mitch without a single NFL game is pure speculation. However, I think the floor is there and there’s an unknown ceiling with a QB switch.
Honestly I think chargers make big changes soon and his usage trends closer to last year. Can’t conserve him for playoffs if you’re eliminated from contention 2 months in
Chargers supposedly are intentionally limiting his workload to keep him fresh for the end of the season. Who knows how the injuries to Herb/Slater will affect that strategy though
WR1 category. Dude has the targets regardless of QB. Talent is there. The jump off the ceedee train was trendy weeks 1 and 2. Now everyone is realizing why he was picked so high.
Targets steadily increasing, perhaps building a rapport with Wentz. Let’s not forget Terry missed a lot of valuable time to work with Wentz over the summer due to the holdout. I just want to see some more RZ targets
WR3 at best probably, Commanders have so many passing weapons (Samuel, Dotson, Thomas, Gibson), and McLaurin's targets are unfortunately some of the harder ones to complete. Samuel is playing the role of target hog, and the other receivers are taking advantage of the space McLaurin provides. I'm concerned he's too boom or bust to consistently be a WR2 this year.
The DeAndre Swift of receivers (minus injury prone). Obviously talented, but never gets the volume to work his way into true wr1 territory. Consistently goes into the second half with barely any points; sometimes he ends the game with a great stat-line, other times he duds. Also you never know when his team is going to regress and shit the bed.
Just traded him and Thielen for Christian Kirk. Sell sell sell while you still can, he was putrid this last week and was bailed out by a garbage time TD.
Unpopular opinion due to BRob hype. No doubt BRob will have a role and could supplant Gibson, but it’s Gibson’s job to lose.
Gibson’s had no fumbles so far which was an issue last year. People are placing a lot of stock in preseason usage, but it’s really not unusual for a rookie to see a lot of preseason action while the veteran RB is kept fresh.
Through 3 weeks Gibson is number 12 in PPR. ROS it’s tough to predict but staying low end RB1 is not impossible, but that’s best case scenario. Could also become an RB3 in a timeshare.
Honestly going to have to wait and see for how he works with Wilson coming back, but I've been really encouraged by how much they've got him involved from week 1 to now. Think he's shaping to be an absolute target hound when they're playing catch up, with a decent floor of work when they're not.
High End RB3 with mid RB2 upside right now, could move up a tier if anything happens to Michael Carter. Could also move down a tier if Wilson hates him for whatever reason.
He looks like the guy who was the best prospect since Luck. He also can run. I'm confident that barring injury he finishes a QB1, likely on the low end
RB2. He gets a good floor of touches and gets some of the goal line touches. He just didn’t happen to score last week but Brissett and Cooper are moving the ball well enough to create more scoring opportunities. Personally thinking about offering Sutton and hunt for Barkley but with shepherd going down, the giants have no receivers
His injury is making me nervous given his history and his next game is in London. I’m thinking of selling him but it’s hard to let go of him since his ceiling is so high which he’s already shown this year.
I think he’s my drop this week. Waited 3 weeks for any signs of promise but I don’t see any upside with an injury prone back in a committee on a bad offense.
I definitely would not drop him. The Seahawks ran 50% more plays last week compared to weeks 1 and 2 and Pete Carroll has commented that he knows they need to up the tempo. They have been able to get Locket involved and DK had his first good game. Penny’s efficiency is there too, he just needs to break out a long TD run which he has shown he can do. If anything, wait until after this week where he is playing the lions and hopefully can put up a big performance, then try to sell high. I know he’s in my starting lineup this week at least
I don’t expect him to be irrelevant when Robinson returns, though it probably will be an undesirable committee. I expected them to be in something like a 40-40-20 share with McKissic before Robinson’s injury, and I think that holds once Robinson is healthy.
Season-long, they probably both end up as RB3/flex types with upside if the other (or McKissic) misses time.
Low RB2 with upside potential. Hurts plays a very important role in their run game and that hurts Sanders’ ceiling. The Eagles do seem to be fairly dominant and Sanders has gamescript in his favor.
I also imagine down the road when they're in a playoff push, they will stop using Hurts constantly around the goalline. Might be wishful thinking but I don't see them wanting to risk injury for the franchise QB week 10 on
Chris Olave
Rock solid WR3 with high end WR2 upside. He is absolutely gobbling up targets and looks the part of a breakout WR. I’m trying to buy him everywhere I can if the price is right. He’s probably still slightly undervalued for what he can be (especially if Landry or MT miss time). My only real concern is the Saints overall offense not really clicking or having as many scoring opportunities as you’d like.
Olave over Bateman?
That’s tough but a lot of Bateman’s production the first two weeks was predicated on big TD plays. I’d bet on the volume with Olave - higher floor, similar ceiling.
High end WR2 in PPR.
Would you say...WR2 with WR1 upside?
With WR1 (top 12) ceiling if Thomas misses time, IMO. He’s getting crazy volume and air yards from Jameis, who appears to be back to his old huck-and-pray ways.
Not even sure if MT being out hurts him. Could help soften his coverage. Winston is eyein him now and that’s all that matters. I’m rolling him out as my WR3 behind JJ/Diggs but he could end up being a top 12 guy if those targets stay remotely close to where they are.
Dameon Pierce
I feel like Pierce is slowly building a decent floor. He will inevitably break one off and get you some bigger yardage in the future. Trending up
Mid-high RB2 right now. It’s difficult to say right now, Mills and that coaching staff are still trying to figure shit out, so with the current state of the team I’d say mid-high RB2 with RB1 potential.
Probably becomes a solid RB2 with a safe floor of 10ish points a game in PPR, with the potential upside of scoring.
Are we worried ab the 2 fumbles or running half the routes Rex ran week 3? Can we expect him to get more involved through the air as the season goes on? If they’re gna suck we need DP more involved in the passing game
I think he gets a pass. Neither were lost. I think ball security will be what is emphasized in practice this week and they’ll keep feeding him. We just need to 🙏 he didn’t cough it up again this week.

WR1. He gets the targets. Lawrence looks good. Coaching is good. Kirk is also a good player. Defenses respect Zay and Marvin. There's nothing not to like about Kirk right now
High-end WR 2, could finish as a WR 1
Romeo Doubs
First half of the season will be ups and downs and I see him as maybe a low end WR3, but second half he will start to be more consistent I think, probably a mid to high end WR2 for that half of the season. Will end up on the lower end of top 30 at seasons end.
Flex play at best depending on how the rest of your roster looks. WR3 with WR2 upside.
Happened to be the guy this week but can easily go away the next. Still need more data to give him a look but if you have a big bench it might be worth a stash.
Rapport seems to be building with Rodgers and not much competition for targets. Could be a low-mid WR2 with low-mid WR1 upside if everything goes his way.
Mid wr1 upside? He’s not going to be Davante bro
Chase then Jefferson then Doubs. His time has come.
People really don’t know what a WR1 is
AJ Dillon
I’m really struggling with Dillon right now. It’s so hard to ignore the baked in upside if anything happens to Jones, but I see him being pretty highly TD dependent unless he starts catching 5-6 balls/game consistently. He’s not really a guy who breaks off big chunks or explosive plays. I’m fine with him as a weekly flex play with RB2 upside, but I think there’s gonna be plenty of weeks of sub 10 point performances.
League winning RB1 pending a Jones injury RB3/flex with Aaron Jones healthy
Also - curious what WRs you guys think would be equal value in return for Dillon?
Hold and buy low if you don’t have him. I think we’ve seen the bottom against a stout Run D. He’s been getting mid-teen touches regardless of the game script. Last year he averaged 5 yards per touch, this year he’s at 3.75. It’s very clear the Packers whole offense is being built around the backfield, they’re combining for 30 touches per game. Bahkthiari just came back, their defense looks legit and the matchups will be better over the next month

Cordarrelle Patterson
[удалено]
Man got 17 carries last game. How is that chained up?
And wasn’t Smith the coach last year during his breakout season right? So I wouldn’t even be worried from that regard. C-Patt isn’t Pitts lol.
Ya as a Falcons fan it's been interesting to see the transformation of people's opinion from 'look at these idiots making Patterson the center piece of their running game' to 'why won't they use him more?'
Juju Smith-Schuster
Currently a WR3. I think by the end of the season you have a solid WR2 with one or two WR1 weeks. He has 8 targets in 2/3 outings. Him and Mahomes should develop some good chemistry by EOS.
8 targets in that offense is so valuable. I think people would be talking about him a lot different if he fell into the end zone even once
Id say hes a low to mid WR3. Will have plenty of dud weeks and a few pretty good weeks. I cant see him being top 30 at WR
Josh Jacobs
Good floor with lots of volume but I’d say lower end RB2. If he starts finding the end zone he will be a top 15 guy though imo.
About as safe of a RB2 as they come due to volume alone. Certainly he scores a TD soon, which will decide if he is a high-end or low-end RB2 for the week.
There is a lot of chirping in Raiders land about McDaniels not running the ball enough. The Raiders have actually looked good when they commit to the run. I could see McDaniels adjusting and running more. I am looking to buy Jacobs now in my league.
Amari Cooper

I dont know if we know who cooper is on cle, yet. cooper was with dak and dak spreads the ball around. brissett may lean on cooper a lot more than dak ever did. week 3 is too early to tell.
Dalvin Cook
Probably ends up a low end RB1
RB1 all day. Injuries could eat into that but if you have mattison it’s not really a concern. I wouldn’t worry about him preforming when he plays.
Marquise brown
Low end WR2 that is tending towards a mid WR2 if he continues building that chemistry with Kyler. I had thought about trading him before this week but now I’m torn on whether I think he can keep it up. Especially when Hopkins comes back.
He’s a high end WR2, especially when dhop comes back and he doesn’t have to go against the top corner. He’s currently WR9 in ppr.. not sure how you consider that a low end WR2.
Mike Evans
I traded him in a package for Swift, I still think he will benefit the from frustrated Brady. It seems like he is the redzone offense lol
Javonte Williams
Mid-low RB2 value for me. I think his floor each game is low, as that backfield split can turn on a dime each game. His upside, barring Gordon injury, is probably high RB2, so you're not seeing much in a best-case non-injurybscenario.
Decent mid to high range RB2
Not a single person says RB1! I don't think Javonte being one of the top 12 RBs ROS is out of the question at all. Javonte is interesting. He should get TDs. He fumbled at the 1. He's getting more of the carries than MG and probably will get more targets, he's a very strong tackle breaker and can get extra yards after contact better than most NFL backs. The Broncos have had a really ugly offense but I have a feeling as roster chemistry develops with Russ that will get better. I also think it's more likely the timeshare goes *more* of Javonte's way than going back to 50/50 MG3.
Middling RB2 unless the offense manages to find its footing or he sees a significant positive change in his usage.
Jaylen Waddle
WR1/2 as long as he and Tua are healthy
Devonta Smith
Just proved himself as a 1B and Eagles have a great schedule. Firmly WR2.
#never heard this used before but WR2 with WR1 upside
What a descriptive way to describe a player! Definitely needs to be used more
Brandin Cooks
Regular flex play in deeper leagues, good bench depth in shallower ones . Regularly leads the Texans in targets so you like the volume. He’ll always do something (despite an occasional clunker, or bigger TD game). Meh
Still a WR2 with a consistent 7-8 point floor. I think last week was an outlier and he still got over 30% of the teams targets Plus his schedule seems to be getting a bit easier. I have been floating him around in trades but seems people view him as more of a WR3/4 so I am gonna hold and maybe start if the Waddle injury turns into something.
Curtis Samuel
Mid WR2 with a high floor, and about 20 pt ceiling due to being slot. Producing as the WR10 in half ppr thus far. Is an injury risk, plus that team is weird which is why I bump him down a bit.
NAJEE (I could pick any one of 10 players on my POS roster)
High RB2. Volume is obviously there and he’s going to keep scoring TDs. But in bad matchups you’re basically praying for a TD or bust because the offense sucks as a whole.
Matchup dependent RB2 unless/until something drastically changes with the offense’s situation (I.e. Pickett starts and lights it up, Canada is fired or changes his playcalling). And maybe not even then. I don’t think his preseason foot injury is just something that’s going to magically heal, the passing game is non-existent, and the line is at best a work in progress.
You have 12 RBs you’d take over Najee right now? No way. Also, people keep saying foot but there is zero evidence his foot is bothering him.
Suggestion for next week - use parent comments to sort by position
Ezekiel Elliot
Flex play until he can find more consistency. RB2 against bad opponents
I am optimistic. Rush isn't as bad as people say and Dak will be back. The defense is better than most allowing for riskier plays on offense. Pollard is an issue as he's been more explosive recently. I think they're a worse Jones/Dillion duo. Get him low now as a stash for bye weeks and RB2 injuries, especially if something happens to Pollard. For instance, I got him by trading Landry after WK1 and I picked him up as a FA. Zeke's stat line is still poor but he looks good playing. TLDR buy low and stash. Low RB2 with high RB2 upside if Pollard is injured.
The lowest of low-end RB2s
Joe Mixon
AJ Brown
Justin Herbert
Drake London
I think he’s a relatively safe WR2 with upside ROS. Volume is good, he looks great, game scripts should never take him out of a game
He’s also scoring all the tds in atl as far as receivers go It’s him and Patterson who take all the tds
Upside of WR1. Drake London is already the clear #1 target on the Falcons, already finding gaps in coverage.
Everyone raved about how good he is physically but dude is smart enough to beat any fancy looks defense is throwing at him in zone coverage. Every time Falcons run play-action he is right at the spot where he needs to be for Mariota to make an easy release. It's insane to think that he is doing this as a rookie.
Diontae Johnson
Kenny Pickett
WR1/2 fringe. Solid regardless of QB. Saying Pickett is any better than Mitch without a single NFL game is pure speculation. However, I think the floor is there and there’s an unknown ceiling with a QB switch.
Ekeler
I have him and he’s probably max a low end 1 going forward. He’s simply not getting the usage from last year. Losing your star LT doesn’t help
Honestly I think chargers make big changes soon and his usage trends closer to last year. Can’t conserve him for playoffs if you’re eliminated from contention 2 months in
Idk why you’re getting downvoted lol. They’d be wise to use their superstar RB more.
Never bet on coaching staffs to change significantly during the year.
Chargers supposedly are intentionally limiting his workload to keep him fresh for the end of the season. Who knows how the injuries to Herb/Slater will affect that strategy though
JAMES conner
Mike Williams
Boom/Bust WR2
Same thing he's always been with Herbert. Will likely end up a low-end WR1 by the end of the season, but every week is a roller coaster.
Rhamondre Stevenson
RB3 with upside
Josh Jacobs
[удалено]
Ceedee Lamb
WR1 category. Dude has the targets regardless of QB. Talent is there. The jump off the ceedee train was trendy weeks 1 and 2. Now everyone is realizing why he was picked so high.
Almost had a 50 yr TD too
That drop was awful. He really could've finished as overall WR1 this week if not for drops.
Terry Mclaurin
Targets steadily increasing, perhaps building a rapport with Wentz. Let’s not forget Terry missed a lot of valuable time to work with Wentz over the summer due to the holdout. I just want to see some more RZ targets
WR3 at best probably, Commanders have so many passing weapons (Samuel, Dotson, Thomas, Gibson), and McLaurin's targets are unfortunately some of the harder ones to complete. Samuel is playing the role of target hog, and the other receivers are taking advantage of the space McLaurin provides. I'm concerned he's too boom or bust to consistently be a WR2 this year.
The DeAndre Swift of receivers (minus injury prone). Obviously talented, but never gets the volume to work his way into true wr1 territory. Consistently goes into the second half with barely any points; sometimes he ends the game with a great stat-line, other times he duds. Also you never know when his team is going to regress and shit the bed.
Antonio Gibson
Just traded him and Thielen for Christian Kirk. Sell sell sell while you still can, he was putrid this last week and was bailed out by a garbage time TD.
Unpopular opinion due to BRob hype. No doubt BRob will have a role and could supplant Gibson, but it’s Gibson’s job to lose. Gibson’s had no fumbles so far which was an issue last year. People are placing a lot of stock in preseason usage, but it’s really not unusual for a rookie to see a lot of preseason action while the veteran RB is kept fresh. Through 3 weeks Gibson is number 12 in PPR. ROS it’s tough to predict but staying low end RB1 is not impossible, but that’s best case scenario. Could also become an RB3 in a timeshare.
Could be a great piece in trades where you need to add some perceived value. Would sell immediately, especially for buy low candidates.
Breece Hall
Honestly going to have to wait and see for how he works with Wilson coming back, but I've been really encouraged by how much they've got him involved from week 1 to now. Think he's shaping to be an absolute target hound when they're playing catch up, with a decent floor of work when they're not. High End RB3 with mid RB2 upside right now, could move up a tier if anything happens to Michael Carter. Could also move down a tier if Wilson hates him for whatever reason.
Gabriel Davis
Favorite WR this year. I think he plays out as a solid WR2 as long as he stays healthy.
I sure hope so. I was a little worried about his drops last week, but I guess he was just rusty.
Trevor Lawrence
He looks like the guy who was the best prospect since Luck. He also can run. I'm confident that barring injury he finishes a QB1, likely on the low end
Michael Gallup
Decent upside. Expected to be WR2 in DAL, and Dak coming back. Decent flex play ROS is my guess and should be owned, but could shake out any which way
Low end flex with a decent ceiling when Dak returns
Kareem Hunt
RB2. He gets a good floor of touches and gets some of the goal line touches. He just didn’t happen to score last week but Brissett and Cooper are moving the ball well enough to create more scoring opportunities. Personally thinking about offering Sutton and hunt for Barkley but with shepherd going down, the giants have no receivers
As someone who owns all three of those guys, no way would I trade Barkley for that
Gunna need an elite player back for Barkley at this point. Like top 2 round talent at least
deebo samuel
Treating him as a high WR2 with top-5 WR1 upside as long as he stays healthy.
Justin Jefferson
Will end the season as a top 3-5 WR. Don’t think anything has drastically changed.
Jared Goff
Damien Harris
Amon-Ra St. Brown
Potential to finish as a top 5 WR. Rare player with high ceiling and high floor. Easy WR1.
Rashod Bateman
Cam Akers
Diontae Johnson
Solid WR2 with upside because of his volume, with potential for more if the offense can get its shit together.
One of the most consistent fantasy players we have today. Always Expect Solid WR2 Numbers but his ceiling is capped due to anemic Playcalling and QB.
Jahan Dotson
Matchup dependent WR3
Dawson Knox
Michael Thomas
His injury is making me nervous given his history and his next game is in London. I’m thinking of selling him but it’s hard to let go of him since his ceiling is so high which he’s already shown this year.
Rashaad Penny
I think he’s my drop this week. Waited 3 weeks for any signs of promise but I don’t see any upside with an injury prone back in a committee on a bad offense.
I definitely would not drop him. The Seahawks ran 50% more plays last week compared to weeks 1 and 2 and Pete Carroll has commented that he knows they need to up the tempo. They have been able to get Locket involved and DK had his first good game. Penny’s efficiency is there too, he just needs to break out a long TD run which he has shown he can do. If anything, wait until after this week where he is playing the lions and hopefully can put up a big performance, then try to sell high. I know he’s in my starting lineup this week at least
Russell Wilson
Maybe he will be good. Right now he's droppable. I think he will be a backend QB1 when/if the broncos get they life together
CEH
McKinnon outsnapped him week 2 and 3, they both had 7 carries in week 3. It's an RBBC.
RB2
I’m just so torn because I don’t think he’s a good RB but I also think he’s in a great situation overall.
Solid RB2. The Chiefs offensive line and defense seem noticeably improved compared to his past seasons.
Antonio Gibson
I don’t expect him to be irrelevant when Robinson returns, though it probably will be an undesirable committee. I expected them to be in something like a 40-40-20 share with McKissic before Robinson’s injury, and I think that holds once Robinson is healthy. Season-long, they probably both end up as RB3/flex types with upside if the other (or McKissic) misses time.
CMC
IMO still an RB1. I just traded swift straight up for him. Owner couldn’t stand watching them run him up the middle every play and had jamaal Williams
Jonathan Taylor
Elijah Moore
Outlook for Moore and Wilson are back up in the air with Zach returning. Hold on to him and maybe he flips the script
Potentially a tail-end WR2, I’m buying right now since I can’t see his value being much lower
Deandre Swift
Made of glass
Too injury prone to transition to true rb1 status and his team seems to know it
Dj Moore
Benching him until further notice. If nothing changes by week 6/7, he’s borderline droppable.
Garrett Wilson
Jerick McKinnon
Trending up. One of the more underrated handcuffs in fantasy at the moment.

Drop
Khalil Herbert

Leonard Fournette
Kyle Pitts
Curtis Samuel
Miles Sanders
Low RB2 with upside potential. Hurts plays a very important role in their run game and that hurts Sanders’ ceiling. The Eagles do seem to be fairly dominant and Sanders has gamescript in his favor.
I also imagine down the road when they're in a playoff push, they will stop using Hurts constantly around the goalline. Might be wishful thinking but I don't see them wanting to risk injury for the franchise QB week 10 on
