It's fantasy championship week, and every start 'em, sit 'em decision takes on extra importance. Notable wide receivers Antonio Brown, Mike Evans, Emmanuel Sanders, Marquise Brown, Jakobi Meyers, and Courtland Sutton are all "questionable" because of injuries and illne s -- and that's on top of guys like Jerry Jeudy (reserve/COVID), Elijah Moore (quad, reserve/COVID), Kadarius Toney (shoulder), and Julio Jones Marshawn Lynch Jersey (reserve/COVID) already being declared out -- and their official active/inactive statuses will play a key role in determining who winds up in lineups. That's why we'll be here providing the latest injury updates below throughout the day on Sunday.For updates on banged-up early-game RBs Damien Harris and Jordan Howard, click here; for news on injured late-game RBs Elijah Mitchell, James Conner, Javonte Williams, and Melvin Gordon, go here; for the latest on Rasheem Green Jersey Lamar Jackson, go here; for news on Kareem Hunt, click here.

For all the latest fantasy news, follow us on Twitter .WEEK 17 FANTASY: | | Is Antonio Brown playing Week 17?UPDATE:ESPN's Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Brown is barring a setback on Sunday morning.UPDATE 2:Brown is officially ACTIVE.Brown (ankle) failed to practice on Thursday and Friday after tweaking his ankle in practice, and then-interim coach Harold Goodwin said Friday that Brown for Tampa's game against the Jets.It seems like Brown might be a little more "doubtful" than "questionable," but we won't know officially until Sunday morning. If he's active, he's a must-start with Mike Evans (hamstring) gimpy and Chris Godwin (knee) out. If Brown is out, Breshad Perriman would become an interesting flex option. If Evans is also out, Perriman would likely operate as Tampa's No. 1 receiver and be a decent WR3.WEEK 17 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Is Mike Evans playing Week 17?UPDATE:ESPN's Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Evans is in a "limited capacity." Even a limited Evans is worth starting against the Jets.UPDATE 2:Evans is officially ACTIVE.Early in the week, Evans (hamstring) looked like a long-shot to play because he was on the reserve/COVID list in Delano Hill Jersey addition to having a hamstring injury. However, after being activated on Friday and , things are looking much better for his chances of suiting up against the Jets.Evans is a must-start as always as long as he's active. Hamstrings are always at risk of being aggravated, but given Evans' high upside and the le s-than-intimidating opponent, you don't want him on your bench. If he's out, upgrade Breshad Perriman.WEEK 17 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Is Marquise Brown playing Week 17?UPDATE:Brown is officially ACTIVE.Brown because of a non-COVID illne s, and he looks truly "questionable" to suit up against the Rams.If Brown plays, he's only a borderline start anyway given his recent mediocre performances and presumed matchup with Jalen Ramsey. He still has a fairly solid floor in PPR leagues, but standard leaguers probably don't want to take the risk. If he's out, Rashod Bateman would be Baltimore's No. 1 receiver, but that might be more a curse than a Nazair Jones Jersey ble sing with Ramsey on the other side. At that point, all of Baltimore's players not named Mark Andrews would be too big of a risk.WEEK 17DFS LINEUPS:||Is Courtland Sutton playing Week 17?UPDATE:Sutton is officially ACTIVE.Sutton (non-COVID illne s) is officially "questionable" for Week 17's game against the Chargers, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport already reported that the disappointing receiver is .With Jerry Jeudy Tre Flowers Jersey and Tim Patrick on the reserve/COVID list, Sutton has a chance to have by far his best performance of the season. If he's active, he's a solid WR, as tough as it might be to stomach starting him. If he's out, some combination of Kendall Hinton, Seth Williams, and Diontae Spencer would operate as Denver's key wideouts, but chances are TEs Noah Fant and Albert Okwuegbunam would just see more targets, making both viable plays in a favorite tight end matchup.MORE WEEK 17 DFS: | | Is Emmanuel Sanders playing Week 17?UPDATE:Sanders is officially OUT.Sanders (knee) after getting in a limited se sion to open the week. He seems slightly more "doubtful" than "questionable" for Buffalo's game against Atlanta.If Sanders is active, it will be tough to sit him in one of George Fant Jersey the best matchups for a WR. However, with poor conditions expected, he might not be worth the risk of re-injury. Gabriel Davis and Cole Beasley would see more snaps if Sanders is out, making both viable WR3/flex options.Is Jakobi Meyers playing Week 17?UPDATE:Meyers is officially ACTIVE.Meyers (thigh) all week, but his status doesn't really seem in doubt for New England's game against Jacksonville.As long as Meyers is active, he's a solid flex in standard leagues and a WR3 in PPR.

Tom Brady downplayed his elbow injury after on Sunday, ahome defeat that dropped New England to 10-3 this season.Brady's right elbow was heavily wrapped whenhe arrived for his post-game media conference, but Kareem Martin Jersey the 42-year-old quarterback insisted he was Sterling Shepard Jersey OK."I just got hit right on my elbow, it's fine," Bradytold reporters. "Probably be on the injury report, but I'll be there next Sunday (against theBengals)."Tom Brady Live Postgame Pre s Conference: New England Patriots (@Patriots) MORE: Michael Strahan Jersey Brady went 19-of-36 pa sing for 169 yards, a touchdown and an interception in the lo s to Kansas City, which is now 9-4 and pushing New England for the No. 2 seed in the .The six-time Super Bowl champion, who was unwilling to criticize officials despite some controversy related to officiating Sunday, said the Patriots' offense was simply unable to deliver in key moments. B.J. Hill Jersey "We got the ball, we moved it, we had some plays there where we could've scored and just couldn't Will Hernandez Jersey quite," Brady said. "We had a fourth down, we had some other ones in a red area, couple of fourth downs, just didn't make the plays when we needed to make 'em."Added Brady: "We've just got to go out and try to play better and try to win next week's game so, disappointing but not going to feel sorry for ourselves, try to go Phil McConkey Jersey back to work and do a better job."

Patrick Mahomes entered Texas Tech's Oct. 22, 2016 game against Oklahoma with a sprained throwing shoulder, according to . That made what he did next all the more remarkable.Mahomes finished that Saturday game with 88 pa s attempts. He threw for 734 Nick Foles Jersey yards through the air, tying an FBS record. He even ran for another 85 yards and two scores, meaning he set the FBS record for total offense by an individual in a game. And, oh yeah, Texas Tech lost.On the other sideline was Baker Mayfield, a year away from winning the Heisman Trophy but already a high-end quarterback talent. He threw for a relatively ho-hum 545 yards and an Oklahoma record seven touchdown pa ses by comparison. The Sooners won, 66-59.Ahead of their first playoff meeting in the NFL, a 2021 divisional-round game between the Chiefs and Browns, this is a look back at one of the most incredible offensive showcases in college football history. When ESPN asked the coaches from that day, Lincoln Riley and Kliff Kingsbury, to describe it, they both used one word: These days, the word "epic" is mostly used as an adjective, but this Mahomes and Mayfield showdown could just as easily be described as an epic, a story pa sed down about legendary or heroic characters. Mahomes and Mayfield were certainly legendary that day.Patrick Mahomes vs. Baker Mayfield college game box scorePa singPlayerCompletionsAttemptsYardsTouchdownsInterceptionsBaker Mayfield273654570Patrick Mahomes528873451RushingPlayerAttemptsYardsTouchdownsBaker Mayfield2190Patrick Mahomes12852 The story of Baker Mayfield, Patrick Mahomes' epic college game in 2016This matchup marked Mayfield's first game-action return to Lubbock, Texas since he'd transferred away from Texas Tech. He'd actually hosted Mahomes on Mahomes' recruiting visit, so there was an extra level of familiarity between these foes.Oklahoma had a loaded offense around Mayfield that included Bengals running back Joe Mixon, Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook and Ravens tight end Mark Andrews. He also had standout left tackle Orlando Brown protecting him. Mahomes' top receiver was also bound for the NFL in the form of current Texans wideout Keke Coutee, along with current Titans receiver Cameron Batson.The Sooners quickly grabbed a 13-0 lead. Mayfield threw a 56-yard touchdown to Mixon, then following a fumble, he connected with NFL Philadelphia Eagles Jersey Westbrook for a 49-yard score. Le s than four minutes had pa sed, but Texas Tech scored the next 10 points and wouldn't go away.By halftime, it was 30-24 Oklahoma, but the offenses became even more unstoppable in the second half. The Red Raiders punted on the first drive of the second half, but then every drive for the rest of the game, 10 in total, concluded in touchdowns. Turnedout that third-quarter Texas Tech punt was costly, because they'd lose by one score."You just run out of plays," Kingsbury in 2018."When you're calling that many plays and that many pa s plays you're drawing stuff up in the dirt and trying to get people open at the end of it."There were too many yards, too many scores, too many NFL-ready skills on display for one or two to stand the test of time. Rather, it's the final statsheet, the Mahomes and Mayfield records, that really stand out. Mahomes had a decent month in one game, some might say. Mayfield had Brian Westbrook Jersey one of the most efficient performances in college football history.It may have been easy at the time to dismi s the 66-59 scoreline as a cla sic, no-defense Big 12 contest. In retrospect, though, it's obvious just how much talent was on the field that night. The defenses never stood a chance."I've seen a lot of good offensive performances over the years," Riley in 2018,"and the way those two quarterbacks played that night, they'd score on anybody. The people there that saw it, they ought to consider themselves lucky. Because chances are, they'll never see anything like it again.". and rewrote the NCAA record books when Oklahoma and Texas Tech met on Oct Lane Johnson Jersey 22, 2016.Mayfield would throw for 545 yards and 7 touchdowns, while Patrick Mahomes threw for 734 yards and 5 touchdowns in the Sooners 66-59 win. Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) The craziest stats from Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield The referenced media source is mi sing and needs to be re-embedded.Mahomes maniaMahomes' stats from this crazy game are already on this page multiple times, but they're worth repeating: 52-of-88 pa sing for 734 yards and five touchdowns, with another 85 yards and two scores on the ground. His 819 total yards of offense is an FBS record Jason Kelce Jersey for a single game.In college, Mahomes put up huge numbers, but this was an outlier even for him. Sure, he broke 500 pa sing yards on four other occasions, but he never was above 600 besides this game with 734. And he'd never attempted nearly this many pa ses, with the second-most in his college career being 62 attempts.In his pro career, the most Mahomes has thrown for in a game is 478. Combined with his following outing in 2018 of 295 yards, he had a two-game stretch there with 773 yards, only slightly more than he had on that single night in Lubbock in 2016. Overlooked MixonIf not for what Mahomes and Mayfield did, Mixon may have been the headliner of the matchup. He finished with 31 carries for 263 yards and two touchdowns while adding four catches for 114 yards and another three touchdowns. That made Mixon the first player in OU history to rush for at least 200 yards and receive at least 100 yards in the same game.Within all the statistical crazine s, Mixon's 263 rushing yards rank as his college career-highby Jason Peters Jersey more than 100 yards. Somehow, all the pa sing didn't stop Mixon from tearing Texas Tech apart on the ground, too. The referenced media source is mi sing and needs to be re-embedded.Dede and KekeAll the huge numbers almost make Dede Westbrook and Keke Coutee's receiving days feel boring. But they're still worth singling out.For Oklahoma, Westbrook had nine catches for 202 yards and two touchdowns. It was the second-best receiving game of his college career after he had 232 receiving yards against Texas two weeks earlier.Coutee caught 10 pa ses for 172 yards and a score from Mahomes. It was one of seven college games in which Coutee surpa sed 150 receiving yards. He was joined near the century mark by Jonathan Giles (10 catches, 167 yards, two TDs) and Cameron Batson (nine catches, 99 yards, one TD).854 is the magic numberOf all the near-impo sible to believe aspects of this game, this one takes the cake: Both Oklahoma and Texas Tech finished with exactly 854 yards

Sterling Shepard has only been in action for the Giants in two games this year. After suffering a toe injury in the team's Week 2 game against the Bears, he was placed on IR and Clark Griswold Jersey has remained there since. Now at the midpoint of the fantasy football season, he may get a chance to suit up again in a Week 7 contest against the Eagles. Shepard hasn't officially been activated from the IR yet, but he's still thought to be "questionable" for Thursday Night Football, and his owners -- or owners looking to scoop him off the waiver wire -- will be eagerly awaiting updates on his status and they make their first start ' Chris Kunitz Jersey em, sit 'em calls of the week.We'll be here providing updates below about Shepard right up until the active/inactive report is released at around 6:50 p.m. ET on Thursday. For more fantasy news, follow us on Twitter .WEEK 7 FANTASY: | |Is Sterling Shepardplaying Thursday night?UPDATE 2:Shepard is officially ACTIVE for Thursday's game.UPDATE:According to , Shepard has been activated off IR before tonight's game. Now, his availability will come down to a pregame workout.Shepard hasn't played since suffering a toe injury in Week 2, but it did look like he was developing a strong rapport with Daniel Jones before the injury took place. Shepard saw 10 targets on 68 snaps before being hurt, and even though Golden Tate was inactive in Week 1 when Alex DeBrincat Jersey Shepard had six targets, it seems likely Shepard will be apreferred option over Tate once he does return.However, it's still unclear when that will be. According to , Giants head coach Joe Judge said that Shepard's Week 7 status could "come down to a pre-game workout." It is a good sign that Shepard was designated to return from IR this week, but the Giants could still hypothetically activate him and let him sit out one more week Jordan Oesterle Jersey as opposed to putting him in against the Eagles. They also could just leave him on IR until after Thursday night's game and then activate him before Week 8.MORE TNF: | | If Shepard does play against the Eagles, he will be an intriguing flex play given that the Eagles' back seven isn't very strong. Shepard could continue to be a volume receiver for a Giants offense that isn't very good but will have to throw a good deal most weeks to try to stay in games.WEEK 7 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Shepard' Jordan Schroeder Jersey s presence wouldn't nece sarily represent a downgrade for Darius Slayton, the Giants' No. 1 receiver, as he would still be Jones' preferred outside receiver and top TD target, but it could be a downgrade for Tateand TE Evan Engram. Both Tate and Engram have been disappointments,and Shepard may be asked to work the middle of the field a bit more at their expense. That would be especially bad news for Engram's productivity, so that will be something to watch.If Shepard is declared active, he should have a chance to be a top-50 WR. That said, if you're worried about Shepard's workload, you can feel free to sit him one more week to see what he looks Jeremy Roenick Jersey like, especially if you're in a league that starts just two WRs and a flex.

Richard Seymour is no Joc Pederson Jersey stranger to performing in big events witne s the three Super Bowl rings he won with the Patriots but he hasn't lost his competitive fire in retirement.The former defensive linemanturned some heads in Las Vegas this week at the World Series of Poker. But after beginning Day 5 of the event Wednesday in 35th place (out of8,569 entries) with $2.75 million Cody Bellinger Jersey in chips, he ran into some bad hands and was eliminated, finishing 131st.Richard Seymour () eliminated from the 2019 Main Event in 131st place from 8,569 entries for $59,295. Donnie Peters (@Donnie_Peters) Still, Seymour took home Enrique Hernandez Jersey $59,295, not a bad five-day haul for a Clayton Kershaw Jersey guy in retirement.As a competitor, you always want to still be in it," Seymour told . "You just have to try and go out and make the best decisions po sible, and today I had a day where I had to fold a lot of hands. I was in some pretty Russell Martin Jersey sick spots, Im happy with my decisions and thats all you can do in this game. You let the cards fall where they may and it just didnt go my way.The No. 6 overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft by the Patriots, Seymour was a seven-time Pro Bowl selection with the Patriots and Raiders.

Our early 2022 Fantasy WR Rankings look ahead to the top risers, sleepers, and fallers at fantasy football's deepest position. There are plenty who just play in redraft leagues that are curious about the fantasy outlook at wide receiver next year, but those in Rodney McGruder Jersey keeper and dynasty leagues are always especially eager to get ahead.Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill have occupied the top two spots in each of the past two seasons, but this year, both are outside our top three as a veteran has emerged and two young wideouts look to take the jump into bona fide elite status. Of course, these rankings are for redraft and age isn't everything, we have to be mindful of guys that could be due Patrick Beverley Jersey for a decline late in their careers.2022 EARLY FANTASY RANKINGS: | | | Players like Adams and Mike Williams could have their ranking affected by what happens in free agency, but Adams can only fall so far and Williams isn't super high in our rankings to begin with. It's also worth noting Calvin Ridley could be seeing a change of scenery, too. There are also players like Chris Godwin and Michael Gallup heading into the open market and are coming off recent ACL injuries. Our way-too-early preseason rankings will bring more clarity on those guys.Chase Claypool, Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, and D.J. Moore are some Avery Bradley Jersey of the WRs who are surely going to be catching pa ses from new QBs next year, and it seems like their fantasy outlooks can only go up based on that. If the rumors of Aaron Rodgers or Ru sell Wilson heading to new teams next year are true, there could be a number of beneficiaries at wideout. Obviously, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett would lose some value if Wilson leaves, though, so there is always a domino effect.2021 FANTASY: | Wide receivers are always tough to predict, and at least a third of the guys in our top 36 will disappoint. Someone will emerge out of nowhere and be at least a mid-tier WR2, and at Jerome Robinson Jersey least one rookie will make major noise. This happens every season. However, we like Amon-Ra St. Brown, Darnell Mooney, Hunter Renfrow, Gabriel Davis, and Elijah Moore to carry their 2021 momentum into next year as some of our top, high-end "breakouts."Wide receiver is deep, so it's tough to immediately include a rookie unle s there is a clear-cut elite prospect (like Ja'Marr Chase last year), but Traylon Burks, Garrett Wilson, Jameson Williams, and others could be featured inside our top 36 preseason rankings if they land in the right situations.Early 2022 Fantasy Paul George Jersey WR RankingsRankings are based on half-point PPR formats.

The first byes of the year aren't too damaging to our Week Chris Beck Jersey 6 fantasy kicker rankings. Very few fantasy football teams were rostering Joey Slye, Cody Parkey, or Matt Ammendola, so it's likely only the Younghoe Koo owner is hitting the free agent wire looking for a new kicker. The good news is that if you are that owner of Koo, there are plenty of worthwhile replacement options.Notice we said "free agent" wire and not "waiver" wire. Don't use a waiver claim on a kicker. It's never worth it. Moreover, don't carry two kickers on your roster, even if you have a top-ranked guy like Justin Tucker or Tyler Ba s. If someone else wants to pick him up, let them. It's not hard to find a good kicker in any given week (even though it might seem that way after last week's parade of mi sed FG attempts and PATs).WEEK 6 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | We have of another week Trevor Rosenthal Jersey of stats to look at when making our kicker decisions, but as we always say at this position, the stats only mean so much. Most of the top kickers in our rankings are the top kickers on the season, including a few guys who have risen in recent weeks, such as Dustin Hopkins (vs. Chiefs), Nick Folk (vs. Cowboys), and Chase McLaughlin (vs. Cardinals). Any of these players, all owned in fewer than 17 percent of leagues, would be a good fill-in for Koo. Marcell Ozuna Jersey Rodrigo Blankenship (vs. Texans) is also widely available and has a fairly favorable statistical matchup. (Update: Blankenship is out this week.)WEEK 6 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | The rest of the top guys all pretty much fall in line about where you'd expect. Daniel Carlson (@ Broncos) is in an interesting spot, as he plays one of the statistically toughest defenses against kickers yet gets the advantage of kicking in the thin air of Denver. He might get fewer chances, but his odds of connecting from 50-plus yards are higher, which is why he's still in our top 10. Matt Prater (@ Browns) also has a tough statistical matchup, but given how easily and rapidly the Cardinals can move the ball, we still expect him to get some scoring chances.Weather hasn't been too much an i sue Lou Brock Jersey this year, so let's hope it stays that way. We don't have many worthwhile indoor options this week, as there are Andrew Miller Jersey just two games in stadiums with roofs, but Blankenship (vs. Texans) and Evan McPherson (@ Lions) are your "safest" bets if you don't want to check any weather updates on Sunday morning.Note We'll update these kicker rankings as needed throughout the week, so check back for the latest player movement.Fantasy Kicker Rankings Week 6: Who to start, sit in fantasy footballRankPlayer1Justin Tucker, BAL vs. LAC2Tyler Ba s, BUF @ TEN3Harrison Butker, KC @ WAS4Brandon McManus, DEN vs. LV5Ryan Succop, TB @ PHI6Matt Gay, LAR @ NYG7Matt Prater, ARI @ CLE8Daniel Carlson, LV @ DEN9Nick Folk, NE vs. DAL10Dustin Hopkins, WAS vs. KC11Greg Zuerlein, DAL @ NE12Chase McLaughlin, CLE vs. ARI13Greg Joseph, MIN @ CAR14Evan McPherson, CIN @ DET15Graham Gano, NYG vs. LAR16Mason Crosby, GB @ CHI17Zane Gonzalez, CAR vs. MIN18Jason Sanders, MIA vs JAX19Michael Badgley, IND vs. HOU20Tristan Vizcaino, LAC @ BAL21Chris Boswell, PIT vs. SEA22Randy Bullock, TEN vs. BUF23Cairo Santos, CHI vs. GB24Austin Seibert, DET vs. CIN25Jake Elliott, PHI vs. TB26Ka'imi Fairbairn, HOU Enos Slaughter Jersey @ IND27Jason Myers, SEA @ PIT28Josh Lambo, JAX vs. MIA

NFL training camps are right around the corner and it's time for those undervalued players to show what they're worth.For every Todd Gurley who is drafted in the top 10, there is an Alvin Kamara taken in the third round who becomes a star.Every guy falls for a reason, with some more obvious than others, Larry Ogunjobi Jersey but that doesn't mean they're not talented players.Here's a list of players who might be flying under the radar but could make an impactnext season.Five under-the-radar rookies to watch in 2019Miles Sanders, running back, EaglesSanders won't be under the radar to anyone who watched college football last year. Sanders rushed for 1,274 yards and nine touchdowns for Penn State but could not crack the first round despite running a Trevon Coley Jersey 4.49 40-yard dash and recording other impre sive measurables.It looks like Sanders could be the Eagles' second back this year behind Jordan Howard, who the team acquired in a trade with the Bears, but he could very well have the better season of the two running backs for Philadelphia.Andy Isabella, wide receiver, CardinalsWhile everyone who watched college football knows about Sanders, only the diehards know Isabella, who played for Ma sachusetts and rarely got the national spotlight. But, Isabella is an absolute beast who caught 102 pa ses for 1,698 yards and 13 touchdowns this season. While it's easy to say that might just be because he was playing against le ser competition and might not actually be all that skilled or talented, his 4.31 40-yard dash completely gets rid of that notion.Isabella should fit perfectly in Kliff Kingsbury's offense, where he could very well be used like Antonio Brown in the slot. Kyler Murray should be thrilled to have the 5-foot-9 wide receiver on his team.Chase Denzel Ward Jersey Winovich, defensive end, PatriotsIt feels like the Patriots always get playerswho live in the backfield and disrupt pa ses at the line of scrimmage. Winovich might have been the best player on a defense at Michigan which featured first-round picks in Rashan Gary and Devin Bush.Now, the reason he probably slipped to the third round was because of questions about his health, which was shrouded in doubt around the draft. It seems like it was an ankle injury, but it's not exactly definitive what it was. But the fact is, if Winovich is who he was in college, the Patriots got a very good player and got him way later than they should have.Jaquan Johnson, safety, BillsThis one is more for Ozzie Newsome Jersey us than you, honestly. It's fun to watch Johnson play. He always seems to be around the ball and makes plays all over the field, tallying eight interceptions in his career at Miami to T. J. Carrie Jersey go with 2 1/2 sacks. The i sue for Johnson is he ran a 4.69 40-yard dash at the combine and didn't test very well in anything else. His final season at Miami wasn't all that great, either, which cost him.But again, he's a talented player who just knows how to play football. He'll be behind a Pro Bowl safety in Micah Hyde and looks to be down the depth chart this season after being taken in the sixth round. But an injury here or there could get him into the lineup. If he gets in there on a good defense in Buffalo, he could be a very good player.Trayveon Williams, running back, BengalsWilliams will be behind Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard in Cincinnati but Bernard is hurt a lot and Mixon has had injury problems of his own. If he winds up in the lineup he could be great. The running back out of Texas A&M has speed to burn and Sheldrick Redwine Jersey fits very well into the modern day NFL offense. He should be a perfect fit for Zac Taylor.And if he doesn't crack the backfield, he is a very talented return man, as well, so he will make some kind of an impact next year. We'll just see if it's on special teams or the offensive end. Related Articles

Remember when PPR leagues were the "hot new trend" in fantasy football? Sees like ages ago. Now, it's Superflex leagues. Riley Ridley Jersey Naturally, combining the two creates the ultimate fantasy monster. If you've gone that route, we're here to help with the Top 200 rankings that you need to dominate your drafts and end the season with a championship.It can be hard enough to wrap your head around how much quarterbacks should move up the rankings in a Superflex format whereyou can start a second QB in the Superflex spot. Add in the extra points that PPR provides for RBs, WRs and TEs, and it makes the proce s that much harder. The strategy, though, doesn't change a whole lot from our .2020 STANDARD FANTASY RANKINGS: | | | | | | | There's merit to waiting on quarterback, or at least on your second quarterback, but you still don't want to mi s out on one of the top seven or eight at the position. Take advantage ofyour leaguemates who wait altogether on the position so you can start each week with an Trey Burton Jersey edge on them. Because PPR leagues provide so many extra point opportunities, the players you grab late have higher week-to-week upside than they would in a standard league.2020 PPR RANKINGS: | | | A player like Curtis Samuel might be downright unexciting in a standard league, but here in PPR, he can quickly bridge the gap between himself and a big-play, low-volume receiver that normally seems more valuable than him, like a DeSean Jackson. It's not a guarantee to play out right every week, but if you could have Tom Brady and Curtis Samuel or Cam Newton and DeSean Jackson, there's definitely an argument for both sides.
