Generally it's necessary to do a Shuffle Up, to reevaluate gamers as if the draft have been occurring as we speak.
The wage proposals you see are unscientific in nature, greater than the rest, though it is usually a combination of remark and information evaluation. Gamers with the identical wage are thought of equal. The aim is to point out how gamers stack up at ranges, the place expertise accumulates and the place it falls.
Disagreements? Good. That's why now we have a sport. I welcome your respectful touch upon @scott_pianowski.

McCaffrey is breaking the fantasy by seven weeks, and whereas he carries the apparent danger of harm, you possibly can say that about anybody on the place. McCaffrey's performed in 18 video games with the 49ers, amassing 2,036 yards from scrimmage, 78 catches and 21 touchdowns. It’s the greatest cheat code within the league.
-
Etienne emphasizes how necessary quantity and function are to fantasy worth. Each his speeding and receiving effectivity are down considerably (and he's down 1.1 yards per contact from final yr), however he leads the NFL in carries and has elevated his receiving quantity by about 45%. Nobody pushes his work; Etienne is likely one of the final remaining cows.
-
That quantity/effectivity chatter from Etienne's announcement additionally applies to Kamara, who has caught an absurd 35 passes in 4 video games. These performs aren't breaking anybody — he's solely incomes 5.1 YPR on these receptions — however they preserve Kamara in a superb fantasy setting, regardless of the worst landing numbers of his profession. Derek Carr's limitations assist feed Kamara's backside line.
-
Corridor survived every part he wanted to throughout these opening six weeks — a horrible schedule and the Jets unusually bringing in Dalvin Prepare dinner. New York has routed to Corridor during the last two video games (42 touches) and the second-half plan is far easier even because the Browns wait till Week 17.
-
Finally, I anticipate Taylor to be the heavier facet of one thing nearer to a 70-30 cut up in Indianapolis. I additionally belief Shan Steichen's schemes and Gardner Minshew is extra keen to throw to his again than Anthony Richardson was.
-
Hopefully, Ekeler could make a playoff run as soon as the schedule comes collectively properly. In weeks 15-17, the Chargers draw the Raiders, Payments (down key run-stopping personnel) and Broncos (Yahtzee!).

Henry is likely one of the massive names on the commerce deadline, though not most of the major contenders have a evident have to run. Baltimore jumps to the entrance of the road, however previously the Ravens have typically been parsimonious on the place. Henry's managers know that “wherever however right here” is the most effective touchdown spot for his or her again given how damaged the Titans' offense appears proper now.
-
Pacheco is one other quantity commerce again effectivity, though his restricted effectivity was so good as a rookie, it was unrealistic to anticipate him to keep up it in an even bigger function. Pacheco has reached double figures in seven straight weeks (solely six backs can say that, although he's tousled a bit), and he additionally affords an honest quantity of landing fairness (4 within the final 5 video games). It might be arduous to name Pacheco a house choose, however he’s undoubtedly outperforming his ADP.
-
There isn’t any absolutely passable reply to Mostert. He’s entertaining, usually electrical when he’s on the sector. Anticipating him for the entire season might be a mistake. The offense is mostly a enjoyable zone — although Miami has struggled towards a few of its stronger opponents — and the backfield isn't actually as crowded as you would possibly assume. I’m attempting to commerce Mostert whereas his seasonal place is excessive, however it may be troublesome to discover a absolutely invested buying and selling companion. Some gamers really feel like a compelled maintain.

As dangerous because the outage was for Pierce, the Texans performed many of the yr behind a makeshift offensive line. Houston performs its first post-bye sport this week, which ought to reveal loads about the place Pierce is headed for the steadiness of 2023.
-
Arizona's offense is subpar, however Conner ought to step right into a full-time function as soon as activated, and maybe the eventual arrival of Kyler Murray will assist the offense's buoyancy.
-
Edwards at all times provides you one thing; it hardly ever explodes. He had double-digit hits in 5 straight video games. However he's nonetheless held to 2 touchdowns on the yr and has caught simply 4 passes (together with final week's miracle, an 80-yard catch-and-run). JK Dobbins was injured early within the season; since then, Edwards is RB18, RB42, RB38, RB35, RB35 and RB6 in PPR half-point mapping. Edwards is useful. Be real looking about what the ceiling is.

Spears would clearly be an instantaneous fantasy winner as soon as the Henry commerce falls by, although the Titans' offense additionally appears like a sinking ship. Even when Henry stayed, Spears opted for extra enjoying time, averaging a juicy 5.5 yards per carry.
-
Carolina is one other workforce I'll be watching intently getting back from the bye; Hubbard has been a significantly better runner than Sanders this yr and deserves to be the first again even when each can be found. Winless groups generally need to make powerful selections, and there's no tanking issue with the Panthers — they don't have their first-round choose. Let your finest gamers be your finest gamers.

Dillon got here into the league with a popularity as a pile driver and averaged 3.1 yards per contact as a rookie. That quantity dropped to 1.7 this yr. Dillon can be zero within the passing sport, with simply 5 receptions on the yr, and even with Aaron Jones out, Dillon completed within the prime 30 simply as soon as. Backside line, we're taking a look at a median participant and an overrated one.
