As we enter Week 6 of the NFL Power Rankings, it might be time to check on the fantasy football manager in your lives. It's been a rough start for lots of the folks who spent weeks poring over data in the preseason to make the perfect pick only to see their plans left in shambles by the first five weeks of the actual season.
None of the top five fantasy players coming into the season based on average draft position are in the top 48 in fantasy scoring. Top pick Christian McCaffrey has more flights to Germany to get medical consultations than rushing yards this year.
Extending the scope to look at the top 20 picks doesn't make things much better. That group includes A.J. Brown, Puka Nacua and Isaiah Pacheco. Oof, oof and oof.
Darnold's surprising season is illustrated by his fantasy numbers. His average draft position was 223rd. His actual rank after another victory is 31st, and he's 12th among quarterbacks with 16.5 points per game.
