Footballguy
QB
Tier 1:
1. Jalen Hurts (2)
2. Josh Allen (3)
3. Joe Burrow (4)

Tier 2:
4. Lamar Jackson(1), this is almost all schedule related. Bye this week, then nice NYG matchup, then Pit/Hou in the final 2, which isn't ideal. Top-3 guys all have better schedules and no bye.
5. Jayden Daniels (6)
6. Baker Mayfield (5)
7. Patrick Mahomes (7)

Tier 3:
8. Kyler Murray (8)
9. Justin Herbert (9)
10. Bo Nix (11)

Tier 4:
11. Tua Tagovailoa (14), its not pretty, but is QB8 in PPG, and has 9-0 TD/INT ratio over the last 3 games, with 288+ yards in all of them. You'd like to see more big plays, but volume is there.
12. Anthony Richardson (NR), has 23+ in 2 of last 3 games, and has been getting his number called at the GL. Has Ten/NYG in the last 2 weeks.
13. CJ Stroud (12)
14. Jordan Love (10), very boom/bust, and team is running more as of late.
15. Russell Wilson (NR), averaging 271 YPG, and has finished top-10 in half his starts. A little boom/bust, but then again, hasn't he kind of always been?

Dropped off: Brock Purdy (13), lost CMC, is banged up himself, and the offense is threatening to go off the rails. Was still one of the last omissions. Kirk Cousins (15), so uh, yeah, the bye week didn't help. He looks like a candidate to be benched.
 
RB
Tier 1:
1. Saquon Barkley (1)
2. Alvin Kamara (4)
3. Bijan Robinson (5)
4. Jahmyr Gibbs (3)
5. Derrick Henry (2), quietly has under 15 points in 5 of his last 6 games. No real bust weeks, but the ceiling has been waning, especially since his catch floor is zero.
6. Breece Hall (7)

Tier 2:
7. Joe Mixon (8)
8. De'Von Achane (10)
9. Josh Jacobs (9)
10. Kyren Williams (6), had a nice game, but did notice Corum seeing a season high in snaps, playing about 1/3rd. Not panicking but being aware.

Tier 3:
11. Chase Brown (21), seeing all the RB touches, a little disappointing Bengals only ran it 4 times in the entire 2nd half. Still, he's a matchup proof low-end RB1, that I was way too slow to come around on, despite having him in 40% of my leagues (2 of 5)
12. James Cook (15)
13. James Conner (14)
14. Jonathan Taylor (13)
15. David Montgomery (16)
16. Chuba Hubbard (12), Jonathan Brooks looked better than him against TB. Chuba still has 2/3rds of a season and a contract extension that says his job isn't in danger, but his days of seeing 80% of the work are probably over. That said, offense has looked better the last few weeks, so it could balance out...when they aren't playing the Eagles. Dal/Ari/TB after that.

Tier 4:
17. Bucky Irving (24), honestly, this might still be too low, but potential hip issue, and White having a locked in role keep me from upgrading him too much. That said, another week like last week, and he'll jump a tier for sure.
18. Kenneth Walker (17)
19. Aaron Jones (20)

Tier 5:
20. Tony Pollard (23)
21. Isaac Guerendo (NR), don't wanna rank him too high, as he's more unproven, and likely less talented) than Mason, and the offense could just be falling off a cliff. Nonetheless, its possible neither of those things end up being true, and he's Chase Brown part 2. I'm hedging here.
22. Isiah Pacheco (19)
23. Rachaad White (26)

Tier 6:
24. Tyrone Tracy (27)
25. D'Andre Swift (22)
26. Brian Robinson (28)
27. Rhamondre Stevenson (25)

Tier 7:
28. Najee Harris (29)
29. Rico Dowdle (NR), has become a bit of a bellcow the last 2 weeks. Can't say I trust it, or the offense in general, but he's certainly a solid flex.
30. Nick Chubb (NR), I'm kind of ignoring that he and Ford had close to a 50-50 split last week, as I don't envision that type of game being the norm for the Browns (if it is I'm WAYYYYYY too low on Jerry Jeudy) Chubb has 3 TDs over the last 2 weeks, and had been averaging 15 carries a game until Monday Night.

Dropped off: Christian McCaffrey (11), really sad, as he was starting to look a bit like himself before hurting his knee. Hopefully this is just another setback, and not the nearing of the end, for a guy I'd easily call a top-5 RB of the last 20 years. JK Dobbins (18) Austin Ekeler (30), didn't know at the time their injuries were so severe as to go on IR. Hopefully, given their histories. this isn't the end.
 
WR
Tier 1:
1. Ja'Marr Chase (1)
2. Justin Jefferson (3)
3. Amon-Ra St. Brown (2)
4. Nico Collins (4)

Tier 2:
5. AJ Brown (5)
6. CeeDee Lamb (6)
7. Tyreek Hill (7)

Tier 3:

8. Puka Nacua (11)
9. Tee Higgins (13)
10. Mike Evans (15)
11. Cooper Kupp (8)
12. Malik Nabers (10)
13. Terry McLaurin (9)

Tier 4:
14. Drake London (14)
15. George Pickens (17)
16. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (23), has outscored DK all 3 games since he's been back. Its a 1a/1b situation again in Seattle.
17. DK Metcalf (16)
18. Garrett Wilson (12), there's just simply not enough room for him and Adams every week, in an offense struggling for 200 passing yards. They are the entire passing game, so they still both have WR2 value, but the highs we once saw aren't coming back.

Tier 5:
19. Davante Adams (20)
20. Marvin Harrison (19)
21. Ladd McConkey (24)
22. DJ Moore (26)

Tier 6:
23. Calvin Ridley (25)
24. Courtland Sutton (28)
25. Jakobi Meyers (32), Bowers gets the headlines (and rightfully so) but Meyers has been a solid WR2 over the last 5 weeks or so. Its a 2-man passing game, and O'Connell arguably showed more against KC than Minshew has all season. Still a little nervous about putting him higher though.
26. Zay Flowers (18), hasn't had more than 5 catches or 71 yards in a month. Its starting to feel like he's not the #1 anymore, and its more of a nebulous passing game.

Tier 7:
27. Jayden Reed (21), he's WR11 in PPG and coming off a 2-TD game, and has a nice remaining schedule, so why the downgrade? Because he's got maybe the worst role of anyone in the top-40. He only plays in 3-WR sets (even with Doubs out!) and hasn't seen more than 6 targets in a game since week 4. Look, the Packers are 9-3 so I can't criticize too much, but man Reed feels like maybe the most underused player in the NFL. He should be the true #1 and seeing 10 targets weekly.
28. Jauan Jennings (22), I think a downgrade is in order just from the overall offense looking worse off, Deebo doesn't get as much of one because I could see him being used in the backfield more often with CMC/Mason out.
29. DeVonta Smith (29)

Tier 8:
30. Keenan Allen (NR), leads the team in targets since the Waldon firing, and no reason to expect the offense to change much with Eberflus gone.
31. Deebo Samuel (30)
32. Darnell Mooney (27)
33. DeAndre Hopkins (39)
34. Jaylen Waddle (34)

Tier 9:
35. Jerry Jeudy (NR), 73+ yards in 5 straight games, and one hell of a revenge game. Would be a tier higher if he wasn't Jerry Jeudy. Tillman should be back this week, so we'll see how the targets there shake out, but it sure feels like Jeudy is the #1 WR.
36. Brian Thomas (31)
37. Jameson Williams (35)
38. Khalil Shakir (33)
39. Jordan Addison (NR), WR28 in PPG but very boom/bust. Still, he's earned a spot on the list, and obviously has high contingent upside.
40. Tank Dell (38)

Dropped off: Josh Downs (36), no lock to be back after the bye, and is less of a priority in Richardson starts. Rome Odunze (40), isn't on the same level as the other Bears WRs yet, even though he is leading the team in endzone targets and air yards. Could be very interesting if someone in front of him goes down.
 
TE
Tier 1:
1. Brock Bowers (2)
2. Trey McBride (3)
3. Travis Kelce (4)
4. George Kittle (1), he's been THE MAN this season, but offense looks on the verge on falling apart. One the other hand, he's their best player (hopefully they realize that, and use him as the #1 pass catcher they should) and CMC's injury could increase his targets, as they had cratered a bit since his return.

Tier 2:
5. David Njoku (7)
6. TJ Hockenson (8)
7. Cade Otton (6)

Tier 3:
8. Jonnu Smith (12), 23% target share is wild. TE6 in PPG and could be argued a tier higher.
9. Sam LaPorta (10)
10. Mark Andrews (13), still playing way too little even with Kolar on IR. That said, he's been a top-10 TE in 6 of last 8 weeks. Its mostly TD based, but its not like he's a stranger to scoring TDs.

Tier 4:
11. Evan Engram (11)
12. Pat Freiermuth (NR), has his 2 highest yardage games in the last 2 weeks. He's starting to come on a bit, and schedule is pretty nice going forward. Talent has never been the issue for him, its always been QB/health.
13. Will Dissly (15)
14. Jake Ferguson (NR), should be back this week, and returns to an excellent schedule and an opening for a #2 pass catcher, I don't think Schoonmaker is any real threat to him, despite being a solid fill-in.
15. Zach Ertz (NR), 3 straight games with a TD for the ageless Ertz. He's the #2 in Washington even if Noah Brown has popped a few high target games.

Dropped off: Taysom Hill (5), torn ACL+ for the dual threat weapon. Dallas Goedert (9), was all set to have him at #10, before news broke that he was a candidate for IR. Kyle Pitts (14), still TE15 on the season, but has 6 catches in the last month, with a 9% target share. Mooney is the clear #2, and honestly Bijan is probably the #3. Cousins dwindling arm strength doesn't help, but Pitts isn't blameless. Perhaps a switch to Penix would help, but its fair to wonder if he'll even be a Falcon next season.
 
Great work as always. Really appreciate the effort.
13. CJ Stroud (12)
You'll probably catch the most pushback on Mahomes but this is the one that gets to me.

He he has a bye, he's been outperformed by Sam Darnold, not in the list, nine times this season (two weeks better and one tie), has simply been disappointing all year and he drops only one spot? Time to take him off the list, IMO
 
Great rankings as usual.

Couple comments -
Jameis is a must start QB and has to be in the top 15.
Brian Robinson should be top 20 sans Ekeler. 26 seems real low.
Jerry Jeudy even ignoring Denver game should be much higher than 35. 20?
 
Goedert(may go on IR) and is out a few games anyway, shouldn't DeVonta be ranked higher?
Big DeVonta fan, and DeVonta owner, but sadly, no.

Philly offense has leaned way too much into Saquon recently, where it's barely able to support even AJB at his expected level. There's just not enough passes to go around anymore. Ravens of the NFC. Hurts and Barkley are the engine, everyone else is unpredictable.
 
@travdogg

First of all, thanks for doing these again this year. I look forward to this thread each week.

Secondly, I guess you're going to go down with the ship on this one.

7. Patrick Mahomes (7)

I've been watching fantasy owners start him every week to their demise when better options are on the wire weekly.

Glad to see you reverse Puka and Kupp, that's the tight order. I'd have Puka in tier two.

Thoughts on Nabers? He's been WR33 in ppg since September. Definitely not tier 3. He's been another season killer like Mahomes.

Chubba is way too high. Schedule is brutal IMO and Brooks will eat into his share. Proably belongs int he Dowdle, Swift, Chubb, Robinson zip code.

Agree. Eagles are going to face:

Week 14: 32nd rush def
Week 15: 4th rush def
Week 16: 27th rush def
Week 17: 31st rush def
Week 18: 29th rush def

The Eagles might only have 100 or so pass attempts the rest of the season.

I know, I'm betting on talent and him coming out of the bye stronger. Tier 4 is somewhat interchangeable with a few guys who aren't on the list, I've just always liked 15 as a number to stop at. Darnold, Goff, Caleb, Purdy, and dare I say Levis were all on the table in that same area.

I'm not chasing Winston/Jeudy. That may prove to be wrong, but I'm betting on history. They do have the Bengals in week 16, and that should be a shootout, but I think Steelers/Chiefs shut this stuff down, and maybe Miami does too. If Jeudy proves he's the #1 with Tillman healthy I'll have him higher, but I'm not fully ready to give him that, and I don't see Winston throwing 50+ times weekly, nor the Browns scoring 30+.

I don't know that Ekeler affects Robinson. They seem completely fine just plugging McNichols into that spot, and Rodriguez comes in when the lead gets big. It seems to me, they don't want Robinson to be a 20 touch guy. I like Brian Robinson a ton, and think he's a vastly underrated NFL player, but fantasy wise, I think he's more of a flex, as he has a low ceiling, and is somewhat TD dependent as he's not involved in the pass game. Also don't love Eagles in week 16 and Falcons (an underrated run D) in week 17.

Pretty much all of this, but I will say, I think this is stupid by Philly. I think they should be throwing the ball more than they are, and I am very worried, that Barkley could be burnt out come playoff time. Why the Eagles don't run more PA is a mystery to me. You can see it in multiple games of late where there are 9 guys in the box and they just run into it, and its been working, but man, with AJ and Smith (when's he's out there) those are high percentage big plays they are just leaving on the table, and to me that's foolish.

Whenever they ask Hurts to throw more he turns the ball over (either by INT or fumble). Maybe the wiser move is to give Gainwell more carries, but I'm fine with Hurts in the 20-25 pass attempt range.

Chubba is way too high. Schedule is brutal IMO and Brooks will eat into his share. Proably belongs int he Dowdle, Swift, Chubb, Robinson zip code.
I disagree on Mahomes, and I guess I am going down with the ship. He's QB12 PPG, and 1 PPG away from QB7. He's had a 14+ point floor and has 16.5+ on each of the last 6 games which coincides with trading for Hopkins. He's obviously not living up to ADP, and not a difference maker, but I don't think he's been killing teams starting him, those teams clearly have other issues.

Nabers is tough. He feels like a big day can happen at any time, He has a huge lead over everyone in the NFL in targets per game, he has a very high floor, and he has an excellent schedule. But yeah, the WR33 over the last 8 weeks is frustrating. Season killer is a little but strong though. He has 1 game under 10 points all season, and even then it was 8.

I don't see Hubbard's schedule as brutal at all. Its pretty nice in my opinion other than Philly this week. Its possible he ends up lower with Brooks cutting in, but I think he's also showed a lot this year, and unlike those other guys, has handled huge workloads this season. I think he's proven more than any of those guys have in 2024. I still think Chuba sees at least 60+% of the workload. I think if he downgrades it will be more similar to someone like Pollard (when Spears is healthy) or what Aaron Jones has been of late. As an aside with Carolina, I think Bryce Young has shown some nice signs of late, and that lifts the entire offense, kudos to Canelas for how he's done this season, they've been very competitive, and kudos to the front office for investing in the OL, which is now a top-5 OL.

I'm not sure if that's really true or was just a function of the early season issues of learning a new offense and not having AJ Brown. Personally, I think he should be around the 30-35 range in pass attempts, and maybe not having so many 10+ carry games. Obviously running is a part of his game, but ideally, I'd like to see 30 passes and like 5 rushes, not counting kneels or tush pushes.

His proclivity to turn the ball over when he's asked to shoulder a throwing load dates back to 2023.

Seems like Hall should be Tier 3 not Tier 1.

Last 5 weeks he's been RB20 on a ppg basis.

Last 9 games he has averaged 12.92. During that span he's had 3 RB1 games and 4 g in which he did not hit double digits in full PPR. Missed practice time last week, was a DNP today.

Jets OL is actually 11th in run blocking; the running backs are 28th in rushing grade. Hall is having his worst year as a pro in terms of efficiency, elusive rating has cratered, and he's got 6 fumbles.

Team is absolute trash, have lost 8 of their last 9; interim coach hasn't been able to turn it around, and dudes are just mailing it in now.

Guys are shipping their cars home and booking those offseason trips to Cabo. Goals? Yeah, stay healthy for the last 5 so it don't mess up next year. Can't lose if you don't play.
 
Nice job as always (y)

It's interesting, my pre-season thesis was to fade Derrick Henry because I thought he'd tire down the stretch not to mention the Ravens would want to save him for January. But he has been superb with his 5.9 YPC. But the frequency of his long runs has decreased of late. So I like the proactive thinking here.

In the 5 games TB has played since Godwin was lost for the season, Irving has gone for 542 YFS/3 TD's. On 31 snaps/game. And his two best games have come upon Mike Evans return to the lineup. He feels quite Jahmyr Gibbsy, with a Rachaad White v David Montgomery. I get the hip concern, but he simply feels like TB is unlocking something that they'll need to ride.

If Puka is #8, and Kupp is #11, would stand to reason Stafford should be ranked.

Mailk Nabors at #12 feels conspicuous. The NYG have thrown for 2 TD's since Week 5.

I get the Jeudy reluctance, but having Devonta Smith above him seems misguided. Also, with it having clicked for Bo Nix in these last 6-7 weeks, Courtland Sutton and his 42/569/3 line these last 6 weeks since his goose egg feels low at #24.

If Irving had a bigger role, and was healthy, he'd be pushing for top-12 for me. Unfortunately, he looks very questionable for this week, but I can agree with what you are saying. In the Irving thread a few weeks ag, I said I thought he could be Achane like, where he makes the most of a non full time role, and Gibbs is essentially the same idea.

Smith stayed as high as he is due in large part to Goedert's injury. I was set to drop him into the mid-30s before that news came out right before this week's writeup.

Stafford is in that group that just missed as well, but he was one of the first guys I eliminated. I don't think Stafford has to be top-15 to have 2 top-12 WRs. He doesn't throw to the RB or TE, and he doesn't run, he has a low floor whenever either of Puka or Kupp has a down week.
 
(NR)
32/41
283 yards
3 TDs
7 yards rushing
1 very athletic handoff from his knee

outscored Jordan Love (QB14, down from QB10 last week)

22.02-14.54

in the most important game of the year for both teams



I'll be here all year, folks. Try the veal parm.

Thoughts on Nabers? He's been WR33 in ppg since September. Definitely not tier 3. He's been another season killer like Mahomes.

Chubba is way too high. Schedule is brutal IMO and Brooks will eat into his share. Proably belongs int he Dowdle, Swift, Chubb, Robinson zip code.
I disagree on Mahomes, and I guess I am going down with the ship. He's QB12 PPG, and 1 PPG away from QB7. He's had a 14+ point floor and has 16.5+ on each of the last 6 games which coincides with trading for Hopkins. He's obviously not living up to ADP, and not a difference maker, but I don't think he's been killing teams starting him, those teams clearly have other issues.

Nabers is tough. He feels like a big day can happen at any time, He has a huge lead over everyone in the NFL in targets per game, he has a very high floor, and he has an excellent schedule. But yeah, the WR33 over the last 8 weeks is frustrating. Season killer is a little but strong though. He has 1 game under 10 points all season, and even then it was 8.

I don't see Hubbard's schedule as brutal at all. Its pretty nice in my opinion other than Philly this week. Its possible he ends up lower with Brooks cutting in, but I think he's also showed a lot this year, and unlike those other guys, has handled huge workloads this season. I think he's proven more than any of those guys have in 2024. I still think Chuba sees at least 60+% of the workload. I think if he downgrades it will be more similar to someone like Pollard (when Spears is healthy) or what Aaron Jones has been of late. As an aside with Carolina, I think Bryce Young has shown some nice signs of late, and that lifts the entire offense, kudos to Canelas for how he's done this season, they've been very competitive, and kudos to the front office for investing in the OL, which is now a top-5 OL.

Correct on Chuba, looked strong today and with the Brooks injury he's a top RB the rest of the way.

It will be interesting where you put him next week. I benched him for Charbs this week, but I suspect he has a big week coming soon.

Pat is currently QB17 on the week and I suspect Burrow will drop him lower. PPG now #15. Droppable in non super flex leagues.
