Starting at the quarterback position this week, we have got a surprise name at number one this week. Maybe not a surprise coming into the season, but with how the season started out, we are going to New England. Mr. Drake May, welcome back to the top of the leaderboard this week. He has been bawling out these last three weeks. He is quarterback one by a long shot, and I have him as quarterback number one against a Chicago team that I think he can take advantage of. I think that that should be a very fun football game. We'll see how the defenses hold up, but both offenses are clicking right now. So I've got Drake May followed by Jordan Love and Jarrett Goff, two and three. That should also be a very exciting game between Green Bay and Detroit, followed up by Caleb Williams. You've got all four quarterbacks right there, one through four. I think both of those football games are going to be very, very exciting. Joe Burrow, CJ Stroud, somebody else who is playing lights out football right now. He is at the top of his game right now. CJ Stroud comes in at quarterback number six against the Giants. Matthew Stafford, Deck Prescott, Bryce Young, Brock Purdy, Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Kyler Murray there, followed by Aaron Rodgers and Tyler Shuck. Tyler Shuck, I'm a little lower on this week than I normally am. He's playing with that broken hand, playing against a very good Pittsburgh rush defense or pass defense, I guess. Pass rush defense is what I was going for there. They have a very strong pass rushing unit there, and they are going to be all over Tyler Shuck. The Saints offensive line is banged up. I've talked about it in previous videos. Shuck and the Saints really scare me this week. He definitely can make me eat my words, though. He throws it 50 times a game and usually throws for a few touchdowns. So he could totally save his day. I mean, in week six, he only threw for 144 yards, but he had four touchdowns. So ended up having a pretty good day. Could be the case again this week. Another guy, Deshaun Watson, could be in the same boat. Michael Penix, Tanner McKee. For the Philadelphia Eagles, he should throw a ton in this game. He threw, I forget what it was, something around forty, forty times in week six. He's gonna throw that many, maybe more against Dallas in week seven. Geno Smith, Sam Darnold, Bo Nicks gets a bump all the way down to twenty-one this week. Jacoby Brissett, Jalen Daniels, who has been playing very good football. We'll see if Baker Mayfield is back this week or not. But I like Jalen Daniels. I like his game. I like what he has brought to this Buccaneers offense. and then Tyler Huntley there. I'm not sure if Lamar will be back as of the recording of this video, but if Lamar is back, he'll probably be a low end Quarterback one for me in his first week back, somewhere around that quarterback 10 mark. But for right now, I've got Tyler Huntley there at quarterback 24. Looking over to the running back position, we start with Jameer Gibbs in Detroit. He has been everything as advertised coming into the season, and I don't expect that changing this week against Green Bay, a game that they should score a ton of points in. Kenneth Walker, same thing against Seattle, his return to Seattle. I know that that's a tough matchup, a tough place to play, but I think Kansas City's gonna definitely lean on him as they have already through their first five games. they have definitely leaned on him, so I don't expect that changing anytime soon. Christian McCaffrey, Bijan Robinson, Derek Henry, and Kyron Williams there at running back number six. Kyron scares me a little bit. He was very vocal in the media about the Rams struggling because he is not on the field. We'll see if Sean McVay takes that into consideration this week, but I've got him bumped down just a little bit against Las Vegas. Jalen Warren, I'm a little nervous. I'm too high on. I think that Rico Dowdle definitely eats into his workload. I'm a little worried about how that backfield's gonna shake out going forward, but Warren has been very, very good. So I'll keep him there in the top ten. DeAndre Swift, Javante Williams, who He doesn't ever really have a ton of rushing yards, but he just finds the end zone every week. He is locked in as an RB one for you, or a very high end RB two. Jonathan Taylor at number 10 gets a bump down this week. I think that Indianapolis is really going to struggle to move the ball against this Minnesota defense. So I'm a little worried about Jonathan Taylor's touchdown odds this week. so I have him bumped down just a little bit, but still in that RB one conversation. And then Josh Jacobs, welcome back to the lineup. I've got him as a low end RB one. He has already been announced coming right back into the starter role. Even if he doesn't, he's gonna get those high value touches around the goal line. That's what he does best. So in a game against Detroit, where I think the Packers will score a lot of points, I really like their RB one in Josh Jacobs. Running back twelve, Chuba Hubbard, Bucky Irving, Braylon Allen, Chase Brown, Aaron Jones, Ashton Genty, Ramondre Stevenson, Ollie Gordon, and Damian Pierce round out the top 20. Pierce was able to get into the end zone last week, and I I wouldn't be shocked if he does it again this week. Dallas' defense doesn't exactly scare me. I think Tanner McKee's gonna throw it, you know, fifty times like we just talked about. But Damian Pierce should get some goal line looks, should get some a lot of work there for that Eagles backfield. And then following him is Woody Marks, RJ Harvey, Blake Coram, and Tony Pollard rounding out the top 24 running back. Moving over to the wide receivers, Puka Nakua takes that number one spot as his teammate Devontae Adams is set to miss this next six to ten weeks with his hamstring issue. Puka should see even more targets than he already has been. So we have him firmly as that one number one wide receiver. Jackson Smith and Jigba, Jamar Chase, Amon Ra, Christian Watson round out the top five. Malik Neighbors, I've got bumped up despite the tough matchup against Houston. Neighbors has been lights out. He has been almost a guaranteed thirty points every week. So I've got him at wide receiver number six, followed by CeeDee Lamb, who is just seeing an ungodly amount of targets every single week. Matthew Golden, Chris Olave, Justin Jefferson, Drake London and Nico Collins round out those top wide receivers for us. And then Zay Flowers has a slight bump down. Just I'm not sure if Lamar is going to be back yet or not. If Lamar is there, he probably bumps up a few spots, but we'll leave him at wide receiver 13 right now against Cincinnati. Garrett Wilson, Devontae Smith, Tedaroa McMillan, Jalen Coker, Luther Burden, and then the waiver wire pickup of the week, Jeremy Bernard. The last two weeks really, he has been a very hot name in the waiver wire communities. He has lived up to it. He backed up his impressive week five with an even more impressive week six. We'll see what he does here in week seven, but he feels like a guaranteed eight targets every single game from Aaron Rodgers. And typically good things happen when that is the case. George Pickens, T. Higgins, DK Metcalf, Carnell Tate, and Xavier Worthy round out the top 24. I've got Worthy on there. I'm not sure if Rice will be back for the Chiefs this week or not. With him out of the lineup, Worthy really stepped up, caught all seven of his targets in week six against the Chargers. And I expect that to kind of be the same here against Seattle. Obviously, a tough matchup, tough place to play on the road, but I've got him as a low-end wide receiver, too, if Rice does miss some time. And last but not least, over to the tight end position, Mr. Brock Bowers is back atop the leaderboard. Trey McBride, George Kittle, who has been just A lights out since coming back from his Achilles injury. And now they lose Mike Evans for the next how many ever weeks. They are really, really low on pass catchers there in San Francisco. So I really like George Kittle to continue to put up top five numbers for the foreseeable future. Isaiah Likely, same thing. He has been dominant. He'll stay right there in the top five with Sam Laporta, another dominant tight end this year. Tucker Kraft, Colston Loveland joins back into that top seven category. I think he gets a big bump up with Caleb Williams in the lineup. We hadn't really seen this Bears offense at full strength for a while, and it's good to see Colston Loveland get that touchdown in week six. I think that just opened the lid for him. He's going to have a good rest of the season. Dallas Goddard, Tyler Higbee gets that bump with Devontae Adams out. Travis Kelsey, Juwan Johnson, Kyle Pitts, TJ Hawkinson coming back from his injury and bye week. Pat Fryermouth, Hunter Henry, Harold Fannon Jr., who has been very disappointing the last few weeks. I've got him bumped way down this week. Two tight end number 16. I would definitely be looking for better options if you are a Harold Fannon Jr. manager. Darren Waller, Mark Andrews, Colby Parkinson gets a bump there in Los Angeles. And then Michael Mayer, who has been dominating as the tight end two for Las Vegas. But what do you guys think?
