- Dak Prescott is in a smash spot at home in a likely high-scoring game vs the Lions. The Cowboys have a 24.75 implied total and Detroit ranks 24th vs quarterbacks.
- Kirk Cousins is back in the circle of trust following a spike week at home vs the Bucs. The Falcons have increased their pass rate in their last two games. The Panthers (27th vs QBs) are next.
- Daniel Jones is a good streamer at home in a potential shootout vs the Bengals. The Giants’ quarterback has 18+ fantasy points in three of his last four games.

- Chase Brown has scored 14.9 and 22.2 fantasy points in the last two games. There’s a legit chance that Zack Moss will be forced to miss this game. The Giants are allowing 4.99 yards per carry (29th).
- This is a tough spot vs Brian Robinson going up against a Ravens defense allowing 2.89 YPC (1st). We’ll likely need a touchdown from Robinson for him to pay off in fantasy.
- Tank Bigsby seems to be on the cusp of overtaking Travis Etienne as the lead back in Jacksonville. It’s incredible to see such drastic improvement from the Year 2 back.

| 73 | 4 | Adonai Mitchell | IND | @ TEN |
| 74 | 5 | Nico Collins | HOU | @ NE |
| 75 | 5 | Christian Watson | GB | vs ARI |
- This feels like a game where Jameson Williams gets loose downfield in a high-scoring affair in an indoor environment in Dallas.
- Amari Cooper continues to fail to deliver despite strong matchups. This entire offense is being held back by Deshaun Watson, who has been one of the worst starting QBs in the NFL.
- George Pickens saw reduced usage against the Raiders. Whether that motivates him for a big game or becomes more of a trend remains to be seen, but I’m tempering my expectations.

| 24 | 4 | Taysom Hill | NO | vs TB |
| 25 | 4 | Evan Engram | JAC | @ CHI |
| 26 | 4 | David Njoku | CLE | @ PHI |
- Tucker Kraft is proving himself as a top five tight end, fresh off a spike week vs the Rams. The Packers should once again move the ball with ease vs the Cardinals in this spot.
- Is this the week that Sam LaPorta finally gets back on track? You have to think he’s going to find the end zone in a projected shootout. If LaPorta fails here, it’s time to worry.
- Kyle Pitts showed some life last week, so he’s easier to trust as a top 10 TE against an atrocious Panthers defense.

- Jalen Tolbert got it done in his first game without Brandin Cooks, scoring a game-winning touchdown. You can start Tolbert as an WR3 in this favorable spot vs Detroit.
- I can see either Keenan Allen or Rome Odunze having a big game against a vulnerable Jaguars secondary that ranks 32nd vs WRs.
- It will be interesting to see if Zamir White is able to return this week, as Alexander Mattison dominated the usage in White’s absence in Week 5.

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.

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.

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.
