"Rankings changes: We try to avoid overthinking in this column, so you won't find much panic after only one week. New York Jets newcomer Justin Fields and Indianapolis Colts newcomer Daniel Jones were among the top three fantasy scorers at QB, thanks to their legs, and they force their way up the rankings. Keeping with the theme of veterans changing franchises and thriving, the Pittsburgh Steelers introduced Aaron Rodgers and enjoyed a comeback win. Rodgers cracks the top 20."
"Similarly, there is little overexaggeration at running back, where the great (and somehow still underrated) Baltimore Ravens star Derrick Henry was already among the top three before running all over Buffalo. San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey led the position in volume in Week 1, but is that a good thing? Don't we want/need him healthy for four months? McCaffrey moves up to No. 6 (don't get too greedy),"
Rankings showed restraint after Week 1, minimizing overreactions and preserving longer-term valuation. Justin Fields and Daniel Jones rose into the top three at quarterback because of significant rushing production. Aaron Rodgers earned a top-20 fantasy status after a comeback win with his new team. Tua Tagovailoa dropped in the QB hierarchy, while a Browns starter sits close to Bryce Young and rookie Cam Ward. Nine former No. 1 overall picks started at QB in Week 1, and only Baker Mayfield finished among the top 10 QB fantasy scorers. Running back notes highlighted Derrick Henry as a top-three performer and Christian McCaffrey moving to No. 6 amid volume and health concerns. Garrett Wilson delivered a strong game versus the Steelers and faces a favorable upcoming schedule.
