Bijan Robinson to finish top 1 at his position, by an unstated measure

The case for Robinson as the NFL's best running back is strong.

Omarion Hampton to finish top 1 at his position, by rushing yards

I mean, six bumbles, Omari and Hamptons. You know, Daniel Jeremiah came on and said he thinks he could lead the league in rushing, and he's fumbling all over the place.

Davante Adams to finish WR2 (13–24) at his position, by fantasy points

Adams will most certainly return to a near-TD-dependent WR2 when Nacua is in the lineup.

Ashton Jeanty to finish RB1 (1–12) at his position, by fantasy points

The dynamic back gets a noticeable efficiency bump and remains firmly entrenched as a high-volume RB1.

Josh Allen to finish top 1 at his position, by fantasy points

Don't get me wrong, Josh Allen is still easily my QB1 for the rest of the season.

Josh AllenBuffalo Bills

Lamar Jackson to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points

By the end of the season, he should be right up next to (OK, maybe behind) Allen as a top-tier fantasy quarterback.

Lamar JacksonBaltimore Ravens

Terrance Ferguson to finish TE1 (1–12) at his position, by fantasy points

As long as Nacua remains sidelined, Ferguson is a TE1.

Terrance FergusonLos Angeles Rams

Bucky Irving to finish RB2 (13–24) at his position, by fantasy points

With this usage and his talent, Irving should be a high-end RB2 for the rest of the season, and I bet he can be acquired for less than that in plenty of leagues.

Bucky IrvingTampa Bay Buccaneers

Derrick Henry to finish top 1 at his position, by an unstated measure

you give Derrick Henry the best pure running back in football, and you give him five carries in the second half?

Dalton Kincaid to finish top 5 at his position, by fantasy points

Dalton Kincaid. Guy has to change his name to KINGkaid because he's looking like a top-5 fantasy TE for the rest of the season.

Ja'Marr Chase to finish top 1 at his position, by an unstated measure

The takeaway: If it wasn't clear before the season, it is now: Chase is the best receiver in the sport.

Kenneth Walker III to finish top 5 at his position, by fantasy points

He should continue to finish as a top-5 player at the position in the short-term, with easy matchups against Miami and Las Vegas on the horizon.

Kenneth Walker IIIKansas City Chiefs

Jared Goff to finish QB1 (1–12) at his position, by fantasy points

Goff should continue to accrue QB1 numbers each week, and his upcoming schedule (NYJ, @CAR, @ARI) should lead to plenty of high point totals.

Jared GoffDetroit Lions

Courtland Sutton to finish WR3 (25–36) at his position, by fantasy points

After back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, it’s suddenly hard to trust Sutton as anything more than a risky WR3/FLEX.

Courtland SuttonDenver Broncos

Drake London to finish WR2 (13–24) at his position, by fantasy points

London can still rebound, but if he’s going to reach his WR1 ceiling, he needs Michael Penix Jr. or Tua Tagovailoa to return. Until then, he’s more of a boom-or-bust WR2/WR3.

Drake LondonAtlanta Falcons

Tyler Shough to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points

Kellen Moore calls the NFL's fastest-paced offense, which is superb for play volume. Shough is also playing well. The combo has landed him firmly in top-12 fantasy quarterback territory until further notice.

Tyler ShoughNew Orleans Saints

TreVeyon Henderson to finish RB2 (13–24) at his position, by fantasy points

Henderson is in the RB2/FLEX mix, but it's critical to recognize he's a boom-or-bust option until he soaks up a larger share of the backfield workload

Oronde Gadsden II to finish TE1 (1–12) at his position, by fantasy points

Gadsden has low-end TE1 potential if Njoku's injury is as bad as feared.

Oronde Gadsden IILos Angeles Chargers

Jonah Coleman to finish RB2 (13–24) at his position, by fantasy points

Coleman would be viewed as an RB2 if both miss significant time.

Bryce Young to finish QB1 (1–12) at his position, by fantasy points

One week after finishing as the QB3, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is back in the QB1 mix... Young could find his way into more starting lineups.

Bryce YoungCarolina Panthers

Caleb Williams to finish 1–4 at his position, by an unstated measure

But I said this on FS1 not long ago. I said, by the end of the year, Caleb will be a top four or five quarterback. That's how we will view him.

Caleb WilliamsChicago Bears

Josh Allen to finish top 1 at his position, by an unstated measure

Who's more likely to lead the NFL in total touchdowns? Josh Allen or any quarterback wide receiver or quarterback running back combo? ... I'm gonna say it's him. ... I'll go Allen.

Josh Allen

Parker Washington to finish top 15 at his position, by fantasy points

Yet, Washington is a borderline top-15 wide receiver and a must-start in PPR leagues.

Chris Olave to finish top 5 at his position, by fantasy points

His underlying data is too big to fail, and he's projected as the WR5 at DraftKings and FanDuel
