200	D.J. Chark Jr.	WR	LAC	WR87	8

Risers

Nico Collins (+4): The Texans’ passing game is going to be explosive with Nico Collins leading the way.
Trey McBride (+9): Completely dominated down the stretch, Marvin Harrison Jr. will help.
C.J. Stroud (+11): Expect more passing volume — we could see 5,000+ yards with this supporting cast.
Aaron Jones (+6): We saw a terrific late-season run — still a lot left in the tank here.

Fallers

De’Von Achane (-10): Needs historic efficiency to make up for questionable volume.
Josh Jacobs (-9): Head coach Matt LaFleur has always utilized a committee.
Anthony Richardson (-21): Has to exceed expectations as a passer to smash ADP — feels unlikely.
Brock Bowers (-4): Run-heavy offense with slow pace caps Bowers’ Year 1 upside.

Risers

Patrick Mahomes (+2): Upgraded receiving core with Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy.
Joe Burrow (+2): Looks healthy and ready to bounce back following an injury-plagued season.
Jordan Love (+2): Looked like a franchise quarterback down the stretch — young and exciting supporting cast.

Fallers

Jayden Daniels (-2): Need to bake in some risk due to a bottom-tier offensive line.
Caleb Williams (-2): Tempering my expectations a bit more with a rookie quarterback.
Justin Herbert (-2): Downgrade in passing volume and receiving core outweighs talent here.

59	Tank Bigsby	JAX	6	+2
60	Roschon Johnson	CHI	6	+1

Risers

Kenneth Walker (+2): Explosive runner in improving offense deserved to be ranked higher.
Raheem Mostert (+4): Still the main goal-line back in one of the best offenses in the NFL.
Audric Estime (+6): Could emerge as the early-down back later in the season.

Fallers

Alvin Kamara (-8): Decreased rushing efficiency could also see fewer targets in a new offense.
Zack Moss (-4): Recent Chase Brown buzz plus risk of Samaje Perine signing (if he’s cut from Broncos).
Rico Dowdle (-2): Feels like more of a change-of-pace, what if Cowboys sign another back?

Risers

Rashee Rice (+7): Completely dominated down the stretch, suspension getting less likely by the day.
Diontae Johnson (+3): Expect a lot of volume, especially underneath for this clinical route-runner.
Dontayvion Wicks (+11): Efficient rookie season, showed strong separation skills, getting buzz in camp.

Fallers

Chris Olave (-2): Slight downgrade due to risk that the Saints are a complete dumpster fire this year.
Calvin Ridley (-6): Starting to prefer DeAndre Hopkins as the top target in Tennessee.
Ricky Pearsall (-3): Feels like we’re getting a redshirt rookie season.

Risers

Sam LaPorta (+1): Decided that one of best rookie TEs deserved the top spot at the position in Year 2.
Dalton Kincaid (+3): First-round draft capital, solid rookie season, opportunity to emerge as top target.
Dallas Goedert (+1): New offensive coordinator Kellen Moore will likely be more pass-heavy.

Fallers

Travis Kelce (-2): Chiefs are playing for the postseason, no need to force-feed Travis Kelce given improved core.
Mark Andrews (-1): Falls behind Dalton Kincaid because Isaiah Likely can take away *some* targets.
Kyle Pitts (-2): Decided to bake in a bit of risk considering how underwhelming he’s been in last two years.

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.
