HEADS UP
Players must be less than 60% registered on Yahoo.
Listed in order of preference: I often prioritize potential upside over immediate mediocre production.
No FAB suggestions: It varies greatly depending on league trends and is always relative (e.g. if you lost your RB1 due to injury and there is a clear replacement, you will be more aggressive).
Streaming QB and TE are grouped together – weekly rankings may change as predictions/ranks are executed – daylight saving time may also shift slightly.
THE CONCERN REPORT
More ducks (and eggs) = more worry
Kenneth Walker, SEA 🦆🥚 – Missed a good chunk of the preseason, and on top of last year’s inefficiencies, Zach Charbonnet can force a 50/50 or take the lead if he outscores Walker for a few games.
Breece Hall, NYJ 🦆🦆🦆🦆 – This is only for the first few weeks.
