Players We've Already Changed Our Minds On

The source moved Bo Nix down after his Week 1 performance against the Chiefs, describing him as "utterly clueless" and confused from the first snap despite being a top-10 fantasy QB in his first two years. The source notes Nix's fantasy production has relied heavily on rushing volume and late-game variance rather than genuine quarterback play, and ranks him 19th at the position for Week 2.

The source notes Strange scored in Week 1 but expresses concern about the gravitational pull of Parker Washington limiting Strange's upside. The source was not waiting on Strange preseason but acknowledges the touchdown. However, the source fears Washington will command double-digit targets almost every week, which will hurt Strange's volume. If redoing the rankings, the source would have placed Likely ahead of Strange as well.

The source was out on Bucky Irving all draft season but upgraded him after Week 1, where he looked like the dynamic player from his rookie season and was used in all aspects of the game. The source notes the Buccaneers clearly prefer Irving over Kenny Gainwell and don't overthink the decision—when healthy, Irving is their main guy and stays in regardless of results, though Sean Tucker's return could create a three-headed backfield.

The source had completely avoided Chuba Hubbard after last year's disaster but upgraded him after Week 1, where he dominated against the Bears and looked great. The source now ranks Hubbard 20th among RBs for Week 2 and notes he's involved in the passing game and does everything, making him a pure RB2 after Jonathan Brooks showed minimal usage in Week 1.

Moore suffered a sprained AC joint in his shoulder during the Bills game and did not return; the source notes he had minimal involvement early in the game (the Bears were not utilizing him effectively) before the injury occurred on an end zone target where he dropped the pass before getting hit.

Suffered a sprained AC joint in his shoulder in week two; did not return to the game. Has 10 days to rest before week three, but there is uncertainty about his availability for week three and concern that the shoulder injury could linger even after he returns to the lineup.

DJ Moore was hurt during Thursday night's game, which opened up receiving opportunities for Keon Coleman. The source notes that three of Coleman's targets and catches came after Moore was hurt, with Coleman then used as the primary wideout in some formations.

Recorded 7 receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown in week two; could have had another touchdown after getting a target in the end zone. The source previously hated his ADP for being too high but now hates it because it was too low. They describe him as a locked-in top 5 option every week, maybe a top 1 option every week.

Scored a receiving touchdown in the second quarter of week two, contributing to the Bills' dominant offensive performance. The source identifies him as part of a top-tier Bills offense.

The source downgraded Achane after Week 1, citing concerns about the Miami offensive line. The source was sold a bill of goods on the Dolphins' offensive line quality and is now concerned after Achane's performance against the Raiders. The source notes if the Dolphins can't run effectively against the Raiders, there are serious concerns about the line's ability to perform against better defenses.

The source had Henry ranked high in the first round preseason but notes all preseason worries about Henry still apply post-Week 1. The source acknowledges Henry probably moved up slightly after Week 1 but remains concerned about the difficulty of maintaining production at his age for an entire season. When asked to choose between Walker and Henry in a redraft, the source would take Walker by one, having them back-to-back in rankings.

The source upgraded Likely significantly after Week 1, moving him from TE11 (or as early as TE9) to TE5 tier. The source was bullish preseason but not bullish enough. Likely showed proof of concept immediately as a frequent red zone target despite Mark Andrews being on the field; the Ravens found multiple ways to involve him in various situations. The source loves Likely's situation and performance, grouping him with Dalton Kincaid in the same tier. The source expects to see a lot of Likely this season and is confident in the outlook.

Had two awesome long runs with huge lanes in the second quarter, accumulating 101 rushing yards by the end of the first half in week two. Later in the game, he was stuffed on goal-line carries but eventually scored a one-yard touchdown on a great run around the right side. The source describes Allen and Cook as 'monsters' and part of the best offense in the league right now.

Jamison Williams is described as a flag player being debated in the context of the Lions' offensive environment concerns following their game against Buffalo. The source indicates he is part of the discussion about which Lions players warrant reconsideration, though the specific details of the debate are cut off in the transcript.

Goff is not the type of quarterback who performs well when circumstances around him aren't perfect; he lacks the ability to make out-of-structure plays when not getting proper blocking. Against Buffalo, he was pushed around early and the Lions' offensive line struggles (particularly Penei Sewell at left tackle) created early pressure that dug a deep hole. While Goff finished with 327 pass yards and four touchdowns, the source notes this was perilously close to a second half of complete garbage time, with fourth quarter stats that didn't matter for the NFL game but inflated fantasy scoring. If Detroit's offensive line doesn't improve, the Lions' offensive environment may not be as reliable as previously thought.

The source downgraded Jonathan Brooks after Week 1, noting minimal usage despite being drafted ahead of Chuba Hubbard. The source says Brooks is not usable in any fantasy league size this week and ranks him around 40th among RBs, though the source acknowledges Brooks may have been dealing with nagging injuries and could eventually be part of a 50-50 split.

Allen is playing at an MVP level through two games, running aggressively and throwing well; the source notes he's 'behaving like every moment is a must win' and 'crushing for fantasy too,' though the source raises the question of whether this aggressive running style will eventually lead to injury.

Accumulated 14 carries in week two, matching his season-opener carry total from last year against Baltimore. Through two weeks, he has 4 rushing touchdowns and 5 passing touchdowns, establishing him as a cheat code. The source emphasizes that owning Josh Allen is exactly where you want to be and that he is on pace to be MVP-caliber, though they note he takes significant hits and hope he stays healthy.

The source expresses concern about Herbert and the Chargers offense after Week 1, citing the loss of their center in training camp and the interior offensive line quality. The source notes Cole Strange is not a great acquisition for the interior line, and the interior line scares him significantly. The source is willing to give the offense a mulligan for the first game with a new coordinator, but the permanent loss of the center is a major concern.

The source dramatically upgraded Walker after Week 1, calling him the player he's changed his mind most on. Walker was ranked 11-13 preseason but dominated the Chiefs offense in Week 1 against Denver. Andy Reid immediately established a run-heavy approach: handoff, handoff, handoff, screen, handoff, handoff, handoff, screen. Patrick Mahomes started 2-for-12 for 14 yards while Walker controlled the game. The source notes even the most optimistic preseason assessments (ranking Walker at 9 overall) couldn't have predicted this level of offensive dominance. Walker broke tackles and converted a crucial fourth-and-one run that Kareem Hunt or Isaiah Pacheco would not have converted. The source believes Walker is now a first-round pick (likely 3-4 overall) and would take him over Derrick Henry. The source acknowledges Walker's injury history but refuses to trade him away despite the actuarial risk.

Coleman had a strong Thursday night performance with 6 catches for 63 yards against Detroit; the source notes this is only the start of his third season and references the historical 'third year bump for wideouts,' suggesting potential emergence despite Khalil Shakir being the better player so far in their respective careers.

Made catches both before and after DJ Moore's injury in week two, showing some involvement in the Bills offense. The source considers him as a potential waiver add but expresses hesitation due to past disappointment, describing him as having 'psychic damage' to overcome.

Coleman was used as the number two receiver even before DJ Moore was hurt, and then got used as the one at times after Moore got hurt. Coach's tape review showed three targets before Moore's injury with three catches, and formations where Moore and Coleman were the only two wideouts on the field with Shakir absent. After Moore's injury, three more targets and catches came with Coleman as the only wideout on the field with tight ends. The source notes Coleman had legit good releases on catches, some with tight coverage where he won, and compares his possession-in-traffic repertoire to latter-day post-knee-injury Cortland Sutton, who finished as a top-12 fantasy receiver for two straight years in the right environment. The source states Coleman 'did begin the rehabilitation process' after Thursday night's game.

Shakir has been the better player in his career compared to Keon Coleman, but Coleman is receiving more target volume; the source expresses preference that Coleman's recent production would have gone to Shakir instead.

The source upgraded Washington significantly after Week 1, now viewing him as a borderline WR1 after initially ranking him without separation from Brian Thomas Jr. and slightly ahead of Jacoby Myers. The source describes Washington as having an essential, central role in the Jaguars offense—comparing it to the Amon Ra St. Brown effect where no other player can infringe on his role. The source is "sold" and "in" on Washington, though concerned about his punt return duties. The source notes he was too slow to move Washington up enough in preseason rankings and lacks sufficient exposure. The source is "scared of almost every other Jags player because of how much I love Parker Washington right now."

The source moved Quinshawn Judkins down after Week 1, citing both poor team context (the Jets offense) and Judkins' own performance—the source believes Judkins lacks burst coming off his ankle injury and doesn't look great. Judkins is ranked outside the top 30 RBs and is not someone the source feels comfortable starting, though he may be a flex option or forced starter in some leagues.
