Top 100 Fantasy Football Rankings Rest Of Season
STACKED extracted the fantasy-relevant player signal from this video and kept the full transcript here for context.
Player insights
A.J. Brown
The source was not as high on AJ Brown coming into the season and will not be as high now coming back from ankle injury. Will likely move him up more once he is able to return to the field and prove health.
Insight pageAaron Jones
Going into his bye week and dealing with Jordan Mason coming back. Multiple quotes from coaching staff indicate that when Mason returns, he will definitely get the ball because you can't give a 33-year-old running back 20 touches a week. Role will be significantly reduced upon Mason's return.
Insight pageAdonai Mitchell
Ranked 80th in rest-of-season rankings. Coming back from finger injury and expected to be a startable receiver in fantasy football.
Insight pageAmon-Ra St. Brown
Ranked 7th in rest-of-season rankings in the A tier, averaging 20 fantasy points per game.
Insight pageBijan Robinson
Ranked in the elite tier at the top of rest-of-season rankings by Mattek Fantasy Football; considered a core hold that should not be traded away.
Insight pageBlake Corum
Brock Bowers
Ranked 8th in rest-of-season rankings, averaging 23 fantasy points per game—higher than expert consensus. The source highlights his elite target share (45%, 22%, 27% across games), noting he scores like a peak wide receiver and is very likely to finish as TE1, TE2, or TE3 any given week. Even in a loss to New England, he was the TE2 for the week. The source considers Brock Bowers a buy and believes his fantasy value is understated by most managers.
Insight pageBucky Irving
Ranked 41st overall in rest-of-season rankings. Finally got goal line touches last week and scored two touchdowns against Dallas (32nd in EPA per play defense). The source believes the strong performance reflects Irving being used in a role that showcases his talents rather than merely exploiting Dallas's weak defense. If he retains goal line work, this ranking of 41 will be too low.
Insight pageCaleb Williams
Carnell Tate
Left in this tier just for the theoretical upside of being the fourth overall pick. Showed theoretical upside in one game. The source questions whether Cam Ward can buoy Tate's value and suggests Tate may need Taysom Hill (or similar QB change) to take over the offense to find a ceiling.
Insight pageCeeDee Lamb
Ranked 11th in rest-of-season rankings, averaging 23 fantasy points per game. The source notes a quad bruise to monitor but maintains the ranking.
Insight pageChase Brown
Ranked in C tier with concern about backfield competition, specifically with Samaj Perine. However, this is mitigated by playing in a pass-heavy offense that frequently targets running backs, which provides some floor support despite the split workload risk.
Insight pageChristian McCaffrey
Ranked 15th in rest-of-season rankings. The source notes that usage is down and efficiency has not fully rebounded, with McCaffrey recording only 4, 4, 3, and 3 receptions in the most recent month. While the source acknowledges that having McCaffrey is still desirable, he is not as dominant as in years past.
Insight pageChristian Watson
Ranked 24th overall in rest-of-season rankings. Watson is having a great season with phenomenal scoring on deep touchdowns, but the source cannot rank him higher because he is not earning significantly more volume than Matthew Golden. The source gives Watson a mirrored ranking to Golden (42nd) and explicitly states preference for Watson in fantasy football over Golden, despite acknowledging Golden is very good.
Insight pageChuba Hubbard
Ranked in D tier with 19 PPG. Generally inefficient running back historically, but has been very efficient this season. Jonathan Brooks' eventual return will impact his role. The source is not a major buy despite improved efficiency; cautious on Bryce Young's development as Carolina Panthers quarterback.
Insight pageColston Loveland
Ranked 92nd. The source was a believer in Loveland coming into the season but the preponderance of evidence suggests he is not very good. He is basically playing as a left tackle rather than in a pass-catching role for the Bears. Despite playing the most snaps of any offensive skill position player in the entire NFL, he can't get the ball to save his life.
Insight pageD.J. Moore
Ranked 60th; still injured and the source does not expect him to play next week.
Insight pageD'Andre Swift
Ranked #31 with ongoing hip injury concerns noted right before recording. Kyle Manungi is out with a turf toe injury, which the source notes is worse to come back from for a running back than a hip injury. The source does not think the team wants to give Swift 30 touches in a game, and Roshan Johnson was used at the end of the Packers blowout game. Playing through injury can zap efficiency and limit splash-game upside despite continued touchdown and pass-catching contributions.
Insight pageDak Prescott
David Montgomery
Ranked 83rd; injured status noted as not good. Source considers flipping him with Woody Marks depending on how Marks performs with Montgomery out.
Insight pageDenzel Boston
Ranked up to 65 with an injury to a teammate, suggesting improved opportunity in the receiving corps.
Insight pageDeVonta Smith
Still injured and playing in an offense that struggles to advance the ball via the pass; Mattek Fantasy Football finds it hard to be inspired by injured players or the Philadelphia Eagles' passing game, though acknowledges he may need to move Smith up slightly.
Insight pageDK Metcalf
Ranked 87th. Source admits on 'truth serum' they might prefer Jeremy Bernard and Pat Frymouth to Metcalf. Metcalf's best game this year was five for 115 yards, though he did break out in that game.
Insight pageDrake London
Ranked #27 with continued concern about quarterback play. London is averaging 15 points per game with significant game-by-game variance: two brutal games with Cooper Rush, a 28-point explosion against Green Bay (9 rec, 194 yards), an okay 5-for-96 game against New Orleans, and 11 targets against Baltimore. The source acknowledges the ranking may be too low but defends it as the highest he could justify.
Insight pageGarrett Wilson
Ranked #28, averaging 17 fantasy points overall. The source describes Wilson as a reliable starter with a floor around 12 points but a ceiling limited to 25-27 points because the offense does not throw that much. Adonai Mitchell's return as a very good target-earning wide receiver will further limit Wilson's upside.
Insight pageGeorge Kittle
Ranked 45th overall. The source has tight ends ranked quite a bit higher than consensus and has drafted two tight ends in the top 100 picks on purpose for multiple teams, starting both players. George Kittle features on several of those teams.
Insight pageGeorge Pickens
Isaiah Likely
Originally ranked 59th but immediately moved up to 44th during the video; the source admits he was wrong about Likely's value; identifies the New York Giants passing game as essentially two players: Isaiah Likely and Malik Neighbors, positioning Likely as 'probably going to be one of the stories of the fantasy football season.'
Insight pageJa'Marr Chase
Ranked in the elite tier at the top of rest-of-season rankings by Mattek Fantasy Football; considered a core hold that should not be traded away.
Insight pageJalen Coker
Ranked 63rd; dealing with an injury and uncertain to play this week; the source projects that Teteroy McMillan will lead the Panthers in targets for the rest of the season, suggesting limited upside for Coker.
Insight pageJames Cook
Ranked in the B tier. The source notes that James Cook has struggled to combine both touchdowns and pass-catching production in a single season, which has prevented him from being a premier fantasy option. Touchdowns have been adequate since week one, but receiving work has declined significantly; he has had two or more receptions in only two of his games this season.
Insight pageJameson Williams
Despite strong expected points based on recent production (two targets and two touchdowns last week), Williams scored below expectation; Mattek Fantasy Football expresses concern that his expected points don't translate to actual fantasy performance, noting it doesn't seem to tie together consistently.
Insight pageJavonte Williams
Ranked 18th overall. While not considered a particularly talented player, Williams consistently scores touchdowns and holds a lockdown role in the passing game. The source notes that if a more talented running back had Williams' role, he would likely rank as a top-10 fantasy running back given the quality of his offensive role. You don't get points for style in fantasy football; you get points for touchdowns, and Javante Williams keeps scoring them.
Insight pageJayden Daniels
Ranked 68th. Source finds it hard to imagine Daniels lasting the entire season but notes that owners are very happy with his performance so far.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
Ranked 50th; Mattek Fantasy Football gives the entire Denver Broncos offense an 'F minus' grade, citing bad play calling, poor quarterback play from Bo Nicks, and poor individual performance from Waddle himself, Courtland Sutton, JK Dobbins, and everyone involved in the offense.
Insight pageJaylen Warren
Strong recent performance with 15 fantasy points in recent weeks; elite efficiency metrics including missed tackles forced, rushing yards over expectation, and yards per run. Mike McCarthy stated 'Jaylen Warren is the guy we're going to ride right now,' supporting his elevated role. The source believes it would be 'completely insane' for Warren to be benched given his recent performance, though expects a 70/30 split with Rico Dowel going forward.
Insight pageJeremiyah Love
Slight buy recommendation. Snap rate improved in competitive situations (last week vs. Detroit better than week prior). Drafted high for passing-game contributions; opportunity expanding as Arizona Cardinals traded away Marvin Harrison Jr. If Love earns plurality of third-down snaps and two-minute drill work (currently Tyler Algier getting those reps), fantasy value can be significantly boosted. Potential Josh Jacobs-type career trajectory. Arizona Cardinals' tendency to play to the final whistle even when down large margins provides additional late-game passing volume opportunities for Love.
Insight pageJoe Burrow
Jonathan Taylor
Ranked 10th in rest-of-season rankings. Taylor has been inconsistent due to poor quarterback play, scoring 9 points against Houston and 11 against Pittsburgh. The source notes he is very touchdown-dependent, but emphasizes that touchdown dependency is not necessarily a weakness since touchdowns are the primary driver of fantasy football value.
Insight pageJordan Love
Jordan Mason
Ranked 98th in rest-of-season rankings; returning in week seven from injury.
Insight pageJosh Allen
Josh Downs
Ranked 54th; Mattek Fantasy Football believes Downs is talented but has disappointed over the most recent two weeks; contrary to initial concerns, Downs has run full routes (92% route share over the last three weeks) but simply hasn't received targets; the source frames this as a bet on talent and quarterback improvement from Daniel Jones.
Insight pageJustin Jefferson
Ranked 22nd overall; ranking depressed from top-10 consideration due to Minnesota Vikings expected below-average play volume with Kyler Murray as quarterback. While Jefferson performed well last week and Murray played well, there is a larger historical sample of Murray not supporting elite wide receiver production, limiting Jefferson's ceiling despite his talent.
Insight pageJuwan Johnson
Ranked at 74. Not a good enough blocker to play every single down, but clearly a guy you want to have in fantasy football. The limited blocking role caps his snap count but his receiving upside makes him a target.
Insight pageKeaton Mitchell
Ranked 91st in rest-of-season rankings. The source admits bias, saying 'I just think Keat Mitchell is a great player.' With the Chargers down all three starting wide receivers, the source expects more throws to Mitchell out of the backfield. While Kamani Videll had a good touchdown run that will earn him more playing time, the source believes Mitchell is the best of the three Chargers pass-catchers (Hampton, Mitchell, Videll).
Insight pageKenneth Walker III
Ranked in the elite tier at the top of rest-of-season rankings by Mattek Fantasy Football; considered a core hold that should not be traded away.
Insight pageKyren Williams
Ranked 16th in rest-of-season rankings by Mattek Fantasy Football. The biggest issue for Kyren Williams has been his passing game involvement, with 6, 10, and 6 receptions in the most recent three games. Offensive coordinator Nate Schilhos noted that with Terrence Ferguson out, Kyren Williams is viewed as the third wide receiver on the Rams. When Ferguson returns, Mattek expects a reconfiguration of the offense that will reduce Williams' importance.
Insight pageLadd McConkey
Ranked in the 50s as the only Charger Mattek Fantasy Football wouldn't 'vomit to see on your roster,' but he currently carries both a rib injury and a foot injury.
Insight pageLamar Jackson
Malik Nabers
Mattek Fantasy Football has rated Malik Nabers as a buy in each of the most recent two weeks and continues to consider him a buy. He appears healthy with the shoulder injury trending well; the surgically repaired ACL also seems to be trending positively, addressing earlier concerns about his confidence in the knee. Mattek notes that Jamus Johnson as the new quarterback may actually be better for Nabers' fantasy value than Jackson Dart would have been, as Johnson is letting Nabers cook more.
Insight pageMatthew Golden
Ranked 42nd overall; averaging 15 points per game with consistent target share across all depths: 30%, 20%, 23%, 23%, and 22% target share. Being targeted at all depths of the field and in the red zone, including standing in the end zone. The source rates him very highly and gives him a mirrored ranking to Christian Watson (24th), though admits preferring Watson in fantasy.
Insight pageMichael Wilson
Ranked 38th. Poor recent performance against Detroit (4 catches, 30 yards, 15% target share) despite widespread preseason hype for that matchup. The source notes volatility of Arizona Cardinals passing game; team's tendency to keep dropping back in blowouts provides some garbage-time opportunity but inconsistency is a major concern. Arizona Cardinals' tendency to play to the final whistle even when down large margins provides some late-game passing volume opportunities, but this does not offset the volatility risk.
Insight pageMike Evans
Big riser ranked 36th. Proven healthy and benefits from San Francisco's offensive concentration: ball going to elite players (Evans, Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk) with other receivers injured. The source was too low on Evans coming into season and is bullish on Brock Purdy-Evans connection. Provided health holds, Evans positioned as huge winning pick in fantasy football.
Insight pageNico Collins
Ranked 17th in rest-of-season rankings, averaging 20 fantasy points per game.
Insight pageOllie Gordon
Ranked 57th; elevated based on excellent recent snap share (84%, 56%, and 65% over recent games) with 17 rushes in one game and 100 rushing yards against Minnesota, followed by 18 rushes against Cincinnati; the source sees potential for increased pass-game involvement despite acknowledging he won't score every week.
Insight pageParker Washington
Ranked #26 coming off an explosive London game with another London matchup upcoming. The source emphasizes there is absolutely nothing to worry about with Washington and projects him as an elite fantasy football option, one of only 30-35 guys who really matter in fantasy football given the current NFL offensive environment with two-tight-end sets and rotating wide receivers.
Insight pagePat Freiermuth
Ranked 94th in rest-of-season rankings. The source says on 'truth serum' they might prefer Freiermuth to DK Metcalf.
Insight pagePatrick Mahomes
Ranked 44th overall; averaging 20 fantasy points per game. The source's quarterback 2 in fantasy football.
Insight pagePuka Nacua
Ranked in the elite tier at the top of rest-of-season rankings by Mattek Fantasy Football; considered a core hold that should not be traded away.
Insight pageQuentin Johnston
Rhamondre Stevenson
Moved up to 46th overall. Trevion Henderson has a high ankle sprain and is expected to either miss a month or go on IR. Stevenson will be used in a role similar to week one against Seattle where he had 85% of the snaps, 18 rushes, and six targets. The source rates him as an elite fantasy football option.
Insight pageRJ Harvey
Ranked 96th in rest-of-season rankings. The role is not very good overall, but in games where Denver is an underdog, there is correlation to passing volume. Harvey had 10 targets against San Francisco and 7 targets against the Rams. Denver plays Seattle then Kansas City in week eight, which should be heavy passing volume games for Harvey.
Insight pageSam LaPorta
Samaje Perine
Recommended as a waiver wire add in the Tuesday waiver wire video, positioned as potential backfield competition with Chase Brown, suggesting opportunity for increased touches and role expansion.
Insight pageSaquon Barkley
Ranked 66th. Source has a hard time buying in due to multiple compounding concerns: currently injured, playing very badly, and playing behind a bad offensive line. Source compares the situation to some of the worst New York Giants seasons of Barkley's career.
Insight pageStefon Diggs
Ranked 62nd; missed last week with a hamstring injury but the source hopes it's just a one-week absence; Diggs plays an important role in the Commanders offense and is a better receiver and target earner than Terry McLaurin at this stage of their careers.
Insight pageTerry McLaurin
Ranked at 72 in rest-of-season projections, though the source wanted to move him lower. When Stefon Diggs and McLaurin are on the field together, Diggs is clearly the top receiver for the Commanders. McLaurin played last week while Diggs did not, so the upcoming matchup against the 49ers will clarify the target distribution and role clarity going forward.
Insight pageTony Pollard
Travis Kelce
Ranked 61st; the source would rank him higher if he were younger, expressing concern about his body holding up for the entire season; the Taekwon Thornton injury is viewed as potentially beneficial for Kelce.
Insight pageTreVeyon Henderson
The source does not think you want to drop him, but in shorter bench leagues or formats with 15 players and 9 starters, you could probably drop Trevon Henderson while injured.
Insight pageTrey McBride
Ranked 13th in rest-of-season rankings, averaging 18 fantasy points per game. The source believes McBride's advantage is understated by most managers. Arizona Cardinals' unique tendency to keep passing even in heavy blowouts—unlike most teams that run clock out—provides additional scoring opportunity; McBride scored a touchdown when down 38-4 against a recent opponent, demonstrating the team's commitment to passing late in games. This aggressive fourth-quarter approach is a significant positive for McBride's fantasy value.
Insight pageTucker Kraft
Getting target-share squeezed every single week by Matthew Golden and Christian Watson. Projected to end the year with around seven touchdowns, indicating limited volume despite being on the field.
Insight pageTyler Warren
Ranked 64th in rest-of-season rankings. Warren has been very touchdown dependent in a way that is not expected to continue, making him a little pricey for fantasy at current ADP/ranking.
Insight pageWoody Marks
Ranked 90th in rest-of-season rankings. The source might flip-flop Marks and David Montgomery depending on how well Marks performs with Montgomery out injured, suggesting upside potential if Marks capitalizes on the opportunity.
Insight pageXavier Worthy
Zach Charbonnet
Ranked 82nd, moved up dramatically from the 130s after watching Emanuel Wilson and George Hani play poorly in a recent game. Source believes the team will try to get Charbonnet back from ACL recovery very quickly, with a chance he plays this upcoming Thursday night. The job will be his when he returns because Price is on IR and the team was not enthused with Price.
Insight pageZay Flowers
Ranked 21st overall; ranking is constrained by uncertainty around Lamar Jackson's health status and return timeline. If a positive update on Jackson emerges, the source plans to move Flowers up to approximately 15th overall. Current ranking aligns with expert consensus rankings of 17-21.
