I think I have Stafford ahead of Rodgers but that's a minor quibble.
I can't help but feel like the second I have a 2 digit number attached to Rodgers, he's gonna have a 5-TD game. I have no problem with Stafford above him, I'm just not going to do it until its obvious. I do trust Rodgers a bit more too.
I have Henry ahead of CMc, think Mixon and Kamara are a bit high. I like Gibson more than both. The Patterson ranking is ridiculous though. He should be at worst 19. How can you rank Darrel Williams and Mike Davis and Damien Harris ahead of him?
I refuse to believe Patterson's production is sustainable without a drastic change in usage. If he starts playing more than Mike Davis, that's when I'll move him up, because with even a small variance in TD luck, he's a flex play level player. I'm fine putting him ahead of Davis if you want, but I think Harris(when they aren't playing TB) and Williams have much higher touch floors. I'm also likely just high on Harris.
I'd like to have Kamara lower, but I don't really trust anybody below him more than him. I almost put Mixon higher, I'm not worried about his pass game usage as much as some are, and I'm not worried about Perine at all. Mixon's health is the only thing keeping him out of the top-10. Its possible he'll move up next week, if he shows himself to be healthier.
Gibson is hard to rank higher, because A) McKissic hasn't gone away B) Gibson is likely going to be playing through injury for the next several weeks.
I can see the argument for Henry at #1, I just think CMC's receiving is such an edge, and he's basically bust proof, where as Henry can sometimes be game scripted out a bit. I also am anticipating the Titans scaling back his workload going forward, as he's on pace for an insane 483 carries and 48 catches, which is 531 touches. In relation to that, I'm probably slightly higher on Tannehill/AJ than most right now.
I don't care how talented Kittle is, I prefer Andrews and Pitts.
If I were 5-0 or 4-1 I think I'd prefer Kittle, if I needed wins now I might prefer Andrews or Pitts.
To be fair, Andrews hadn't had a game over 5 catches until last night, which was a perfect gamescript against a secondary that ran out of guys. He(and Hollywood) also needed Lamar to throw for over 400 yards, which is not likely to be repeated, maybe ever again. Jackson only had 3 300 yard games in his career going in.
Waller and especially Hockenson have been quieter the last couple games, but can see a case for 2nd for either of them too. Hockenson is probably the best buy-low in fantasy in my opinion right now. Its also possible Waller sees fewer balls with Gruden gone, as Gruden was his biggest fan, and basically his best move as Raiders HC.
Full disclosure, if Pitts monster game had come with Ridley in the lineup, and/or not against the Jets, I might have had him at 2. 2-6 is basically a rank them how you feel, there is no wrong answer area to me, its very nebulous.
