22 Fantasy Football Rankings Changes We Made This Week

The source is ahead of the market on Alec Pierce, who is being drafted as WR32 despite finishing last year as the WR18 in points per game.

The source suggests avoiding Alvin Kamara in drafts, arguing he cannot effectively handle early-down work and noting his pass protection was a total disaster last year. He is currently relegated to third-down and passing-situation roles.

Bo Nix is currently healthy and has been producing at a level comparable to Brock Purdy in fantasy formats.

The source is bullish on Brian Robinson Jr., ranking him as RB36 and noting his potential to secure a larger role in the backfield through improved pass-catching, despite skepticism from others regarding his ability to steal work from Rachaad White.

The source is currently prioritizing Kenneth Walker over CeeDee Lamb in their rankings, weighing the decision between the two players.

Reports indicate Chigoziem Okonkwo is being utilized as the de facto wide receiver two, which the source suggests likely cements him as third in team targets.

Christian Watson is ranked as the WR24, several spots above his current ADP, and is confirmed to play the Z receiver role in the Packers' offense.

The source uses Courtland Sutton as a benchmark for ranking Stefon Diggs, placing them in the same tier of wide receiver twos.

Daniel Jones is participating in training camp seven and a half months after Achilles surgery. While he appeared slightly stiff, the source observed him looking unimpeded and good, noting his health is a major factor for the Colts' offense, which was second in scoring when he was healthy last year.

De'Von Achane is working on early downs while Alvin Kamara handles third-down and passing situations; the source notes that most fantasy points for running backs are scored on first and second down, downplaying concerns about his lack of third-down work.

The source suggests Deebo Samuel could mirror a 'Keenan Allen impression' early in the season, making him a high-value play before potentially fading; he is considered a better redraft pick than a best-ball asset.

DeVonta Smith is currently dealing with a hamstring issue that has impacted his availability during Eagles training camp.

Dontayvion Wicks is slated to play the X receiver role for the Packers and has been a standout in camp, earning praise as a vertical threat with increased underneath involvement. He is currently viewed as the clear second-best receiver in camp.

Jacob Cowing has left practice early on multiple occasions due to injury, contributing to the team's ongoing depth issues.

The source uses Jaylen Coker as a benchmark for ranking Stefon Diggs, placing them in the same tier of wide receiver twos.

The source uses Jayden Reed as a benchmark for ranking Stefon Diggs, placing them in the same tier of wide receiver twos.

The source ranks Jaden Reed three spots above his current ADP, noting that his involvement in two-wide receiver sets remains a key question for the upcoming season.

The source is cautious about drafting Jeremiah Love at his current ADP, citing his role in a multi-person backfield on the NFL's lowest-projected offense (18.4 points). Love is smaller than teammates Tyler Allgeier and James Conner, which may limit his goal-line work. While ranked as RB16, the source notes his path to success may mirror Breece Hall's rookie season, potentially not materializing until mid-season.

The source moved Jonathan Taylor up in their rankings, citing his massive production splits with Daniel Jones, noting he averaged over 30 half-PPR points per game in wins when Jones was the starter.

The source uses Jordan Addison as a benchmark for ranking Stefon Diggs, placing them in the same tier of wide receiver twos.

Josh Downs is expected to play in two-wide receiver sets for the Colts. The source projects his average air yards per target to increase and suggests he is a viable flex or WR3 in full PPR formats. Currently drafted as the WR43, he is considered undervalued and is ranked slightly higher than his current ADP.

The Packers have been one of the most run-heavy teams in neutral situations, utilizing Josh Jacobs as their primary back.

The source ranks Kenneth Walker III as RB7 and 13th overall, viewing him as the focal point of the offense with significant goal-line and passing-game upside. The source projects a potential LeSean McCoy-type season and notes the team plans to use him as a versatile workhorse, including as a blocker and pass-catcher, with an increased focus on under-center formations to maximize his skill set. He remains a high-value target for projected half-PPR points despite narrative-driven ADP drops.

Kyren Williams is considered a superior draft pick to Jeremiah Love because he plays in an offense projected to score the most points in the NFL and demonstrated significant goal-line usage, ranking fifth in carries inside the 10-yard line last season.

The source prefers drafting Malik Nabers over Jeremiah Love, expressing higher confidence in Nabers' fantasy outlook at his current draft position.

Mike Evans has been moved down to WR27 due to recurring soft tissue injuries; he is currently missing practice with a quad strain. The source expresses skepticism regarding his ability to stay healthy for a full season at age 32.

Quinshon Judkins is a preferred late-round target due to his talent and lack of competition for touches in his backfield. While there are concerns regarding the quality of his offense, he is expected to gobble up volume.

The source expresses nervousness regarding Rashee Rice's usage and performance, specifically noting concerns after watching him run in a straight line during training camp, which raises doubts about his agility and overall role.

Rhamondre Stevenson is ranked at RB27, slightly above his current ADP, and is viewed as a better value than TreVeyon Henderson due to his established goal-line role and superior production in games played together. He is expected to split work with Henderson, making both players flex options.

Ricky Pearsall is out for the season following PCL surgery, a development that has significantly impacted his fantasy ranking and the team's depth chart.

There are reports that Saquon Barkley's workload may shift from 24 carries per game to a 17-20 carry range, with Tank Bigsby potentially absorbing more early-down work.

Stefon Diggs is currently undervalued on Yahoo at an ADP of 159 and should be drafted closer to pick 100. He is ranked 90th overall (WR42) with a secure path to playing time as the WR2 in Washington. While he may not be as effective on a per-route basis as in his prime, he is expected to be a near full-time player in a Kliff Kingsbury offense that utilizes motion and play-action, benefiting from the effective quarterback play of Jayden Daniels.

Reports indicate Tank Bigsby may take on a larger early-down role, which could potentially shift Saquon Barkley's workload from 24 carries per game down to a 17-20 carry range.

Terry McLaurin is viewed as the primary pass catcher in Washington, though his target volume may be capped below 10 per game due to the addition of Stefon Diggs. He is ranked ahead of peers like DJ Moore, Mike Evans, and Davante Adams due to superior film performance and lower injury risk.

Despite not playing third-down snaps, Travis Etienne remains a strong fantasy asset because he catches passes on first and second down, which is sufficient to pay off his ADP. The source notes he is playing behind an improved offensive line and remains a preferred target over other options in his tier.

TreVeyon Henderson remains a work in progress with recurring pass protection mistakes and struggles on contact. Despite showing efficiency in yards before contact metrics, he is expected to split backfield work with Rhamondre Stevenson, limiting his ceiling to a flex role.

Tyler Warren is identified as a primary draft target and sleeper pick who could outproduce his ADP. The source values him as the best screen and manufactured-touch player who can be effectively utilized in the flats and on bootlegs.

Xavier Worthy is currently a durability concern after leaving practice with a shoulder injury; the source questions his ability to stay healthy, despite previously noting he possesses more theoretical upside than Stefon Diggs in his current role.
