| 26 | 5 | Bryce Young | CAR | vs KC |
- I’m betting that we get a spike week from C.J. Stroud vs the Titans. Nico Collins is back, so the team has a 25-point implied total. Tennessee has shut down Aaron Jones and James Cook in recent weeks, which could force Stroud to the air.
- Tua Tagovailoa should be able to build off a strong outing against the Raiders. This is a good spot vs the Patriots, who just got picked apart by Matthew Stafford.
- I’m a bit lower on Patrick Mahomes because there’s a good chance that the Chiefs will just sleep-walk to a win in Carolina, feeding Kareem Hunt in the red zone (or Isiah Pacheco if he can return).
Thursday Update:
- Don’t even think about starting Russell Wilson or Jameis Winston in bad weather tonight. The only way I’d fire them up is if I was desperate in a SuperFlex league.

- I’m a bit lower than consensus on Saquon Barkley because the Rams rank 4th in Rush EPA since their Week 6 bye. This just means that I’m expecting more of a floor week from Saquon — obviously you’re firing him up.
- I’m also down on Kyren Williams, who is averaging only 9.1 fantasy points per game in his last three, which ranks as RB31 during that stretch. It’s a tough spot vs an elite Eagles defense.
- Fire up Bucky Irving with confidence, as the Bucs’ rookie has put up 15+ fantasy points in three of his last five games. This is a great matchup vs the Giants (27th in Rush EPA).
Thursday Update:
- It feels like a Nick Chubb night. We’ve got a run-heavy game script due to inclement weather. The Steelers have also allowed 15+ fantasy points to five of the last six running backs they’ve faced. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said they scaled back Chubb’s usage in Week 11 in preparation for this game, per RotoWire.
- Najee Harris is locked in as a rock-solid RB2. We could also see a big game from Jaylen Warren, who’s had an increased workload with Russell Wilson at the helm.

- CeeDee Lamb has 22 targets in two games with Cooper Rush. While the efficiency won’t be there, you can expect Lamb to get a ton of looks in an exploitable matchup vs the Commanders.
- I’m lower on Puka Nacua because he’s going to have to deal with stud rookie corner Quinyon Mitchell at times in this matchup. We just saw Mitchell shut down Terry McLaurin.
- Look for Marvin Harrison Jr. to come out of the bye on a high note. Seahawks were burned on the perimeter by Jauan Jennings (10 REC, 91 YDS, 1 TD) in Week 11.
Thursday Update:
- I view George Pickens more as a WR2 than locked-in WR1 due to rainy weather in Cleveland. Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman are WR4s for me.

- The Will Dissly show has a good chance to keep rolling against a pass-funnel Ravens defense. I’d fire him up if I had Kyle Pitts on the bye (Dissly may even be a better option than Pitts at this point).
- Jonnu Smith just went off for six catches, 101 yards, and two touchdowns. Now he gets a revenge game vs his former team in the Patriots.
- I like the Eagles’ passing game to put up a lot of production vs a Rams team that is strong vs the run, which is why Dallas Goedert is a bit higher in these ranks.
Thursday Update:
- David Njoku is safer from weather because of his low average depth of target. I’m still starting him where I have him.

- Rome Odunze led the Bears with 10 targets against the Packers. I’ve been clamoring for a breakout for weeks now because he’s getting a lot of separation on tape. There’s a decent chance it comes this week vs the Vikings (30th in fantasy PPG vs WRs).
- Xavier Worthy finally got going last week, catching 4-of-5 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown. Perhaps the rookie can build on that momentum in a good spot vs the Panthers.
- Romeo Doubs had a quiet game vs the Bears. I can see the Packers trying to get him going vs the 49ers. Remember that Doubs put up four catches for 83 yards against this defense in the NFC Divisional Game last year.
Thursday Update:
- I’m betting that Jerome Ford’s increased usage in Week 11 was only because the Browns scaled back Nick Chubb’s touches in prepation for tonight’s game.

| 27 | 4 | Cincinnati Bengals | CIN | @ LAC |
| 28 | 4 | Jacksonville Jaguars | JAC | @ DET |
- I hope you picked up the Bucs, who come off the bye in a must-win spot against Tommy DeVito. Look for the Tampa defense to have their best game of the year.
Top 150 Fantasy Football Rankings
In this section, you’ll find a Top 150 ranking of the best players to draft in 2024 fantasy football.
You can use these as best ball rankings or in your regular redraft formats, where you start and bench players.
This list is a guide for your draft picks. I recommend focusing on the positional rankings and drafting according to the tiers. Use the top 150 as a tiebreaker if stuck between two players.
*Fantasy Football Rankings are updated as of Friday, August 30.*

Risers
- Rico Dowdle (+10): Dalvin Cook is not a viable threat, so Rico Dowdle is well-positioned for a lead role in a good offense.
- Malik Nabers (+8): Decided that it’s better to be bullish on an elite talent with a massive projected target share.
- Jaleel McLaughlin (+6): Samaje Perine is gone, so Jaleel McLaughlin can be Sean Payton’s new Darren Sproles.
- Cooper Kupp (+5): Coming off a terrific camp, bet on Cooper Kupp to re-establish himself as the clear-cut Rams WR1.
Fallers
- Puka Nacua (-11): Missed a chunk of camp with a knee injury. Practiced in full but I’m still concerned.
- Keon Coleman (-8): Likely to start off slow with the Bills, it’s time to temper our expectations for Keon Coleman.
- Hollywood Brown (-4): Already ruled out for Week 1, always difficult to roster an injured player before the season starts.
- Jaylen Waddle (-1): Still banged up with an ankle injury. Still in on Jaylen Waddle, but this is slightly troubling.

| 33 | Gardner Minshew II | LV | 7 | vs ATL | vs JAC | at NO | -1 |
| 34 | Jacoby Brissett | NE | 7 | at ARI | at BUF | vs LAC | -- |
Risers
- Patrick Mahomes (+2): Decided to make Patrick Mahomes overall QB1 with a much-improved offense with the additions of Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown.
- Daniel Jones (+2): Decided to move Daniel Jones ahead of Sam Darnold due to rushing upside.
- Baker Mayfield (+1): Likely to be a viable streamer a few times, gets another weapon in Jalen McMillan this year.
Fallers
- Drake Maye (-5): No choice but to move Drake Maye down after it was announced that Jacoby Brissett will start in Week 1.
- Derek Carr (-2): Why would you draft a QB who doesn’t run at all and plays in a bad offense?
- Gardner Minshew (-1): No appeal with the coaching downgrade from Shane Steichen to Luke Getsy.

Risers
- Brian Robinson Jr. (+3): One of my favorite value RB2 targets. Jayden Daniels’ rushing threat should help with efficiency.
- Raheem Mostert (+1): Decided to move up Raheem Mostert a bit because he’s a great target for Zero RB builds.
- Gus Edwards (+1): Similar to Raheem Mostert, Gus Edwards is a nice pick if you waited on running back.
Fallers
- Alvin Kamara (-3): Moved Alvin Kamara down to better reflect how I’m fully fading him in fantasy.
- Jerome Ford (-1): Slight downgrade on Jerome Ford with the Browns bringing back D’Onta Foreman.
- Rhamondre Stevenson (-1): Knocked Rhamondre Stevenson down a spot with Jacoby Brissett starting.

Risers
- Brandon Aiyuk (+1): Contract dispute is finally resolved, but I’m still projecting a downgrade in production compared to last year following a long lay-off due to the holdout.
- Tee Higgins (+1): Feels like a massive season is coming for Tee Higgins in what is a contract year.
- Rashee Rice (+1): With Hollywood Brown ruled out for Week 1 and Xavier Worthy making his NFL debut, Rashee Rice could be peppered with targets early on.
Fallers
- Marvin Harrison Jr. (-2): The slight drop for Marvin Harrison Jr. has nothing to do with him, I just moved up Cooper Kupp.
- Chris Olave (-2): I never end up drafting Chris Olave at cost because I have major concerns about the Saints offense.
- Davante Adams (-2): Like Chris Olave, Davante Adams is likely to be held back by erratic quarterback play.

| 25 | Mike Gesicki | CIN | 5 | at TEN | vs CLE | vs DEN | -1 |
Risers
- T.J. Hockenson (+2): Moved T.J. Hockenson up a bit because I realized that his drop in last update was a too much — still a fine dart throw in Best Ball.
- Cole Kmet (+1): This tight end is still okay to take in Bears stacks on Best Ball, which is why we get a small bump in ranks.
Fallers
- Juwan Johnson (-2): Best Ball-only pick who gets a downgrade because I’m pessimistic on the Saints offense.

How to Set Your Fantasy Lineup with Rankings
Start with Positional Ranks
Start with my positional ranks to guide you in your dilemma between two players. This lets you see where they stand among others at the same position. From there, check to see where I rank them on FLEX rankings.
Remember, tight ends are ranked lower at FLEX because that removes the positional advantage. Tight ends are the most scarce position in fantasy football, so if you’re playing them at FLEX, that takes away a significant portion of their value.
Consider the Game Script
After consulting the rankings, you want to consider the projected game scripts. Check the spread and implied totals for each team. If you’re torn on two players who are ranked similarly, start the player on the team projected to score more points.
You may also check the pace of play for each team. Teams that play faster will have more opportunities to pad their stats. While this factor is baked into the ranks, it’s still good to check when torn between two players.
Use the Stack as a Tiebreaker
If you’re debating between two wide receivers, but one is tied to your quarterback, always select that one. This raises your weekly upside because the two players have a strong correlation, which means that their fantasy production aligns with each other.
For example, suppose I’m debating between DeVonta Smith and Deebo Samuel at my FLEX spot, but I have Jalen Hurts as my quarterback.
In that case, I may consider going with Smith, even though he’s ranked lower than Samuel. This is because if Hurts is playing well, there’s a good chance that Smith will join in on the fun.
Best DFS Sites Where You Can Use Fantasy Football Rankings
Two of the best sites to play DFS are FanDuel and OwnersBox. The former has several large-field tournaments where you can hit a big payout, while the latter has innovative features, like a SuperFlex format. This is a feature that sets OwnersBox apart from the competition.
When using the rankings, be sure to consider your lineup construction. You want your lineup to have a stack (quarterback plus two teammates) along with a “bring-back," which is when you add in an opposing player.
An example is Dak Prescott with CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks. I could bring it back with Jayden Reed as an opposing pass-catcher. Always consider your lineup construction in conjunction with my rankings.
