Travdogg's positional rankings from week 3 onward (1 Viewer)

[FantasyGuru24]

JMason has to be ranked higher with AJones out for 4 weeks.

I mean, maybe, but I'm not sure that just doesn't lead to them running less, which the QB change could do as well. I also expect Cam Akers to step right back into what his role down the stretch was last season. They also have an extremely banged up OL. Even without Jones, I don't have enough confidence to say any more than low-end RB2 for Mason.

If JMason can’t hold off Akers then he shouldn’t be rostered in fantasy football in ANY scoring format lol.

I'm not saying he can't hold him off, but I don't think Mason is going to be seeing 20+ touches weekly just because Jones is out.

Dak should be #8, ahead of Caleb and Fields IMO. He's looked sharp, and it wasn't his fault CD was wearing concrete gloves week one when he was throwing bullseye darts downfield. With that D looking like the #32 EPA defense they were the last four years anytime Micah was off the field, Dak should get plenty of game setups like week 2, ROS.

Jayden too high, Mahomes too low. I might bump Herbert above both

Jonathan Taylor too low. He belongs in the top 5 at a minimum and should be ahead of Cook and Henry

Kyren & Hampton too high. Hall too low

Justin Jefferson too high. There's too much uncertainty at QB. I'd take JSN over him ROS in a millisecond (JSN way too low)

How is Moore ahead of Odunze? We're already seeing a changing of the guard and I expect Loveland and Burden to steal more targets soon

Pitts is too low. I'd take Pitts over Hock, Kelce, and Kincaid right now

I'm too LOW on Mahomes is not a critique I was expecting.

Taylor might be too low. I'm taking it slow on Indy (other than Warren because TE is SO thin, again) if he keeps getting passing work, he'll hit tier 1 soon.

Hampton is very much about his value going up throughout the year, not where he is right now. A general theme of my rookie RB rankings is patience.

Its certainly possible I'm giving Jefferson too much benefit of the doubt. He's produced with any QB thrown at him in the past, so I hate to bet against him. I can't see JSN ahead of him, not yet anyway. I have been slowly moving JSN up though. He's doing a good job with more outside routes.

Its possible we are seeing a changing of the guard in Chicago. I also think its just as likely the Bears gameplan this week, is getting DJ Moore going early and often. I'm not worried about Burden effecting anyone at all.

What's the Pitts over Kelce case, especially if I'm too low on Mahomes?

Mahomes is QB5(?) so far, throwing to backup WRs, a washed TE, and he has no running game. Mahomes will have to do the lifting this year, and he'll have healthier WRs soon.

Kelce is a shell of himself. Pitts looks healthy, he's playing w a competant QB, and is still only 24. A lot of people have written him off. He's going to put up some spike weeks and offers more upside than Kelce at this point.
