Think a position is worth more than others? Use the QB and/or RB multipliers to adjust the rankings for all QB and/or RB players.
CAR | POS: RB | BYE: W13
He will likely come down some from his monstrous 2019 numbers (Over 2300 total yards and 19 touchdowns), but he's still the safest bet to finish as the RB1. PPR machine that hauled in 116 of his 141 targets in 2019.
DAL | POS: RB | BYE: W10
Zeke has been the most consistent runner since he entered the league (7,000 yards and 48 TDs in 4 seasons) but you have to wonder when the huge workload (almost 1,200 carries) starts to catch up with him. I do still think he's a safe bet for RB1 production for 3 more seasons, so I'm not fading him much in drafts.
NYG | POS: RB | BYE: W11
The Giants invested serious capital to improve their offensive line this offseason to help make things easier on Barkley in year 3. Dion Lewis could eat away at some of the 3rd-down work, but the offense runs through Saquon.
NO | POS: WR | BYE: W6
If you prefer Thomas over Cook I definitely can't fault you. While Thomas is likely going to come down from 180+ targets, the two prior seasons show just how lethal he still is when receiving closer to 150 targets.
NO | POS: RB | BYE: W6
Similar to Hill, Kamara is going to put up top-10 numbers on fewer touches than the guys around him. His versatility in the passing game gives his game a high-floor that should translate well as he ages.
MIN | POS: RB | BYE: W7
The breakout season GMs were waiting on finally happened as he exploded for 1,600 total yards and 13 TDs, and we should see more of the same this season following the departure of Stefon Diggs. Enjoy the ride with Cooks, just make sure you grab his handcuff, Alexander Mattison.
ARI | POS: WR | BYE: W8
On pure talent alone I believe that Hopkins is the best WR in the league. After being sent to Arizona in one of the most lopsided trades in recent history, he's going to provide Kyler Murray with a steady WR1 option and continue to terrorize opposing defenses.
LAC | POS: RB | BYE: W10
Ekeler is the poster child for fantasy production on efficient touches. His versatile skill set catching the ball paired with a large amount of work inside the 10-yard line provides a steady floor for fantasy production. His game is built to age gracefully, as well.
LV | POS: RB | BYE: W6
Jacobs was a productive pass catcher in college for Nick Saban at Alabama, and the Raiders are saying all the right things about getting him more involved in that aspect of the attack.
KC | POS: RB | BYE: W10
Edwards-Helaire won the lottery in terms of landing spot, as it's now a matter of when, not if, he becomes a mainstay in your fantasy lineup. Excluding Superflex leagues, CEH is my No.1 rookie in PPR and 1/2 PPR leagues.
BAL | POS: QB | BYE: W8
The reigning MVP will likely outscore Mahomes this year, but I see virtually no way he continues to rush at THIS HIGH of a clip as he gets further into his NFL career. He will still be an elite option for the next 8-10 years as I believe he's a better thrower than he's given credit for, so he will still have huge upside even when the running levels out.
CLE | POS: RB | BYE: W9
Chubb is one of the steady options near the backend of the top-10 RBs, but he won't have the upside of a CMC or SaQuon as long as Kareem Hunt is there.
CIN | POS: RB | BYE: W9
I was fully in on Mixon before he signed his extension, now it's full steam ahead. They've quietly built an exciting cast of weapons in Cinci for the Joe Burrow era, and they will need Mixon to be a stabilizing force for the offense while Burrow grows and learns the NFL game.
PHI | POS: RB | BYE: W9
So far the Eagles have refrained from adding another RB that is a threat from eating away major touches from Sanders. His upside is up there with Joe Mixon or Alvin Kamara, so this ranking could look foolishly low a few weeks into the season.
KC | POS: QB | BYE: W10
This may seem early to grab a QB, but there is a certain peace of mind that comes from having a truly elite, set-it and forget-it option at the QB position that routinely scores near the 25-30 point mark. Mahomes is going to dominate the league for the next decade.
TEN | POS: RB | BYE: W7
I'm a firm believer in trading a guy a year too early as opposed to holding on for a year too long. History isn't kind to a lot of backs that receive the type of workload Henry got last year, so I'd be looking to cash-in on Henry from a RB-needy team in my league.
DAL | POS: QB | BYE: W10
Dak showed that the talk of him being a system player was complete nonsense as he exploded for over 4900 passing yards (More than Aaron Rodgers has ever had in a single season) and 30 TDs. That doesn't even touch on what he did as a runner. Dak is a high-floor top-5 fantasy QB moving forward.
HOU | POS: QB | BYE: W8
While the loss of Deandre Hopkins is definitely notable, I don't think you see too much of a reduction in Watson's production this season. Watson's ground game gives him a high-floor at the QB position, and when they are healthy, Brandin Cooks and Will Fuller will give him two elite field-stretchers to work with.
ATL | POS: WR | BYE: W10
Julio Jones value changes dramatically if you're a win-now team vs. a rebuilding team. If I'm one piece away from a title I'm gladly flipping some draft capital or youth to secure his services. However, if I'm in the middle of rebuilding, you've probably already missed your chance at an elite return in trade, but you should still be able to get back 2-3 quality rebuilding assets.
GB | POS: RB | BYE: W5
Put me in the camp on non-believers when it comes to Aaron Jones. He's getting drafted based on his production last season, and there is zero chance he comes close to sniffing 19 total touchdowns again this year. AJ Dillon will eat away from his workload down the stretch, and Jones will fade back into the RB2 range.
KC | POS: TE | BYE: W10
What I said about Kittle is true for Kelce but amplified even more as he turns 31 this year. If you're rebuilding and act now you should still get close to a premium return before he starts to show signs of slowing down.
ARI | POS: QB | BYE: W8
While this ranking may appear aggressive for Kyler, I believe he is the next QB to enter the elite fantasy tier with Mahomes and Jackson and I want to get on it a year early. His running style is more Russell Wilson than Lamar Jackson so I think he adds close to 500 yards on the ground for most of his prime while improving as a passer in what should be an incredibly fantasy-friendly offensive system.
DEN | POS: RB | BYE: W8
Melvin Gordon has already shown that he can play in a true RB timeshare and put up fantasy production, and I believe Austin Ekeler was clearly a bigger threat to take work away from Gordon than Phillip Lindsay. Sure, Lindsay may take away some of the third-down work, but I don't see him siphoning away touches from Gordon at the goal line, which Ekeler did with the Chargers.
ATL | POS: RB | BYE: W10
This is about as far as I'd be comfortable waiting to grab my first RB in a punt-RB startup strategy. I think Gurley will still have his fair share of huge games in Atlanta which gives him a high enough ceiling for a late RB1 dart throw, but the knee has already started to slow him down and he could fall off the cliff at any point. I sold all my Gurley shares last year and have zero regrets.
CHI | POS: WR | BYE: W11
I would kill for Allen Robinson to be able to catch passes from an elite quarterback for just one season. Last year he showed that he is fully past the ACL injury as he finished as the No. 9 WR in PPR leagues. He's a top-5 pure talent at the WR position, now he just needs a QB that can consistently deliver him the ball the accurately.
LA | POS: WR | BYE: W9
I feel like Cooper Kupp is cut from the same cloth as a Jarvis Landry where he is always going to outperform his draft spot and remains criminally underrated most of his career. I've added a ton of Kupp stock this offseason and feel great about any team where I can run him out as my WR2.
DET | POS: WR | BYE: W5
Kenny Golladay is a monster near the goalline, hauling in 9 TDs last season. If you could guarantee me 16 games of a healthy Matthew Stafford this season I'd likely have Golladay higher up on the list, but his recent back/hip injury history paired with Head Coach Matt Patricia's propensity to run the ball has me raining on the Golladay parade slightly.
SEA | POS: RB | BYE: W6
Chris Carson has been one of the steadiest, yet unloved, contributors at the RB position over the past few seasons. He has finished as a top-15 RB the past two seasons, and with Rashaad Penny suffering another setback he appears poised to lead the way in the dynamic Seahawks rushing attack again.
ARI | POS: RB | BYE: W8
Drake should thrive this season as the RB1 in the up-and-coming Cardinals offense, but he's set to play out the year on the Franchise Tag so I wouldn't be shocked to see them run him into the ground and then let him walk as a free agent. He's a solid RB2 for a contending team.
SEA | POS: QB | BYE: W6
Russell Wilson rounds out the 2nd tier of quarterbacks in my rankings, dropping slightly due to the fact he's a few years older than anyone else ahead of him on this list. He's been one of the most efficient fantasy producers in the league since he stepped in, and his elusiveness and elite ability to escape the pocket keeps Russ firmly in the top-5 QB conversation for dynasty.
KC | POS: WR | BYE: W10
Hill is entering his prime years and has the best QB in the league feeding him the ball. A truly rare talent that doesn't need to be peppered with targets to win a fantasy week for GMs.
GB | POS: WR | BYE: W5
It's weird to look back and realize that Adams has only posted more than 1,000 receiving yards once in his career. Durability concerns added to Aaron Rodgers murky futures drops Adams below the top-tier of WRs for me.
CLE | POS: WR | BYE: W9
OBJ could be the biggest riser thus far in the ranks if he can show that he is finally past the injury issues that have plagued him the last few seasons. He's in a good spot to put up fantasy numbers in Cleveland, they just need to put it all together this time around.
NYJ | POS: RB | BYE: W11
It's hard to put into words just how inefficient Le'Veon Bell was last season, as he plodded his way to a 3.2 yard per carry average (7.0 yards per catch). The only silver lining is the fact the Jets invested heavily in improving the offensive line over the offseason. If those new additions translate to the field, Bell could return from the grave for a few more RB2 seasons.
Robert Woods is a steady PPR option that has thrived in building a connection with Jared Goff. He finished as a top-20 WR in 2019 while only hauling in 3 total TDs. There is some positive regression heading his way in that department in 2020.
