Rankings Update

QB

Up

Sam Darnold +8 spots

JJ McCarthy is having surgery and even if he misses 4-6 weeks on the optimistic side, this pushes his time table back a month. This gives Darnold time beyond the original gauntlet leading to the bye week at minimum. Should see 8+ games at least now.

Down

None

 

Note:

I adjusted the bottom portion of the QBs. Nothing dramatic, but if you’re in deeper leagues make sure you check that out. With projected starters and some injuries I wanted to tighten it up.

 

RB

Up

Javonte Williams +7 spots

He is going to be a bell cow for the Broncos. I want him in nearly every league.

 

Kenneth Walker +9 spots

Walker is being hyped up big by the new coaching staff, which has been honest so far. I’ll take the bait on this one. 

 

Chuba Hubbard +8 spots

Correlated to moving Brooks down. Chuba should be the RB1 the first 4ish games of the season and see a healthy workload. I’ll pay for that and get that early season free production knowing Brooks is on the back end. I like pairing the two as well given cost.

 

Down

Jonathan Brooks -9 spots

Expected to start the year on the PUP. Still ahead of the market, but hard to be bullish with him missing 3+ games plus a month of ramp up. Half the year will be gone. 

 

WR

Up

Tank Dell +4 spots

Moved up to stay in line with the market on the Houston WRs.

 

Tee Higgins +7 spots

Contract year, was too low on him leading up to this point.

 

Ja’Lynn Polk +12 spots

Odds are he dominates targets for the Patriots and could eclipse a 25% share with targets all over the field. Want him over the Josh Downs and Courtland Sutton crowd. 

 

Down

Michael Pittman -11 spots

This one slipped through the cracks. I was always under market on Pittman but I want to be way under market, going the other way after the Josh Downs injury is certainly a choice I’m making!

 

Keenan Allen – 6 spots

I was too high on Keenan. I think he plays a lot but the production is unlikely to match the volume to get to a high ceiling. Solid floor pick.

 

Note:

I adjusted the WR8-14 range. I want to be higher on Kupp than Puka for the year, even if it is slightly. Drake London and Garrett Wilson are a toss up for me, will have shares of both.
