| QB1 | Lamar JacksonBAL | @ IND | QB1 | The rushing contribution separates him from Burrow; Flowers also finished the week without an injury designation. |
| QB2 | Joe BurrowCIN | vs. TB | QB1 | Chase and Higgins give him two receivers I rank inside the top 10 for this slate. |
| QB3 | Jalen HurtsPHI | vs. WAS | QB1 | Passing touchdowns aren’t his only route to a big afternoon. Washington must also account for him near the goal line. |
| QB4 | Josh AllenBUF | @ HOU | QB1 | Houston lowers my passing expectations, but Allen can still score on designed runs and scrambles. |
| QB5 | Justin HerbertLAC | vs. ARI | QB1 | Arizona will miss Garrett Williams and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. That strengthens the case for Herbert and his receivers. |
| QB6 | Dak PrescottDAL | @ NYG | QB1 | Lamb and Pickens both rank inside my top seven receivers. I want exposure to their quarterback, too. |
| QB7 | Caleb WilliamsCHI | @ CAR | QB1 | Odunze’s calf complicates the receiving rotation; Loveland and Burden still give Williams two prominent targets. |
| QB8 | Jared GoffDET | vs. NO | QB1 | Gibbs, St. Brown, LaPorta, Williams: plenty of ways to finish drives against New Orleans. |
| QB9 | Jayden DanielsWAS | @ PHI | QB1 | Philadelphia presents a difficult passing matchup. His ability to run keeps him ahead of the pocket-dependent alternatives. |
| QB10 | Trevor LawrenceJAC | vs. CLE | QB1 | I prefer him to the fringe starters, though Cleveland makes this a less inviting matchup than his receivers might suggest. |
| QB11 | Jaxson DartNYG | vs. DAL | Streamer | His rushing helps; a full workload for Nabers would help more. Keep the Sunday-night injury decision in mind. |
| QB12 | Baker MayfieldTB | @ CIN | Streamer | Egbuka has no game designation, while Godwin gives Mayfield another established target. McMillan remains doubtful. |
| QB13 | Kyler MurrayMIN | vs. GB | Streamer | Jefferson anchors the passing projection. Murray’s rushing potential gives him another way to score against Green Bay. |
| QB14 | Bo NixDEN | @ KC | Streamer | Waddle improves the receiving options, but I still prefer the quarterbacks above him for this particular matchup. |
| QB15 | Malik WillisMIA | @ LV | Streamer | A rushing-based streamer. Brown’s optimism and Del Don’s start recommendation earn him the last spot over Love and Mahomes. |
| RB11 | Jahmyr GibbsDET • RB1 | vs. NO | RB1 | Every analyst in the PPR average ranks him first. His receiving contribution makes that agreement easy to understand. |
| WR12 | Ja’Marr ChaseCIN • WR1 | vs. TB | WR1 | First across the six-analyst PPR baseline. Cincinnati’s leading target belongs at the top again for this slate. |
| RB23 | Bijan RobinsonATL • RB2 | @ PIT | RB1 | Atlanta’s quarterback change hurts the offense, but I still expect its carries and backfield targets to run through Robinson. |
| WR24 | Amon-Ra St. BrownDET • WR2 | vs. NO | WR1 | The entire baseline agrees on second. His expected catches make him one of the easiest PPR starts. |
| RB35 | Saquon BarkleyPHI • RB3 | vs. WAS | RB1 | Hurts can take a goal-line touchdown. Barkley’s expected rushing workload still warrants an early spot against Washington. |
| WR36 | CeeDee LambDAL • WR3 | @ NYG | WR1 | Pickens shares the targets, but I still put Lamb first among Dallas receivers against the Giants. |
| RB47 | Jonathan TaylorIND • RB4 | vs. BAL | RB1 | Baltimore makes the matchup tougher; Taylor’s expected carry volume keeps him among the first backs I’d start. |
| WR48 | Justin JeffersonMIN • WR4 | vs. GB | WR1 | I trust his ability to command targets with Murray. The quarterback change doesn’t dislodge him from this first group. |
| RB59 | De’Von AchaneMIA • RB5 | @ LV | RB1 | Full PPR rewards the receptions as well as the explosive runs. Willis adds uncertainty to how Miami distributes both. |
| WR510 | Chris OlaveNO • WR5 | @ DET | WR1 | The Saints’ passing game should keep returning to him. I prefer his reception outlook to most of the receivers below. |
| RB611 | Omarion HamptonLAC • RB6 | vs. ARI | RB1 | An attractive home matchup against Arizona. Mitchell is cleared to play, so I haven’t projected the entire backfield for Hampton. |
| RB712 | Chase BrownCIN • RB7 | vs. TB | RB1 | Burrow should create scoring opportunities, and Brown can contribute as a receiver when Cincinnati throws near the goal line. |
| RB813 | Derrick HenryBAL • RB8 | @ IND | RB1 | I expect Baltimore to lean on him between the tackles. The receiving-heavy backs above him get the PPR tiebreaker. |
| WR614 | Nico CollinsHOU • WR6 | vs. BUF | WR1 | Buffalo provides a tougher setting, but Collins remains the Houston receiver I want in a starting lineup. |
| WR715 | George PickensDAL • WR7 | @ NYG | WR1 | A strong second Dallas option who can score alongside Lamb. The analyst pool and Dataroma both support an aggressive placement. |
| WR816 | DeVonta SmithPHI • WR8 | vs. WAS | WR1 | He leads my Philadelphia receiver rankings. I expect Hurts to look for him often against Washington. |
| RB917 | Javonte WilliamsDAL • RB9 | @ NYG | RB1 | Dallas gives him an appealing touchdown environment, even with Lamb and Pickens claiming plenty of Prescott’s attention. |
| RB1018 | James Cook IIIBUF • RB10 | @ HOU | RB1 | Houston reduces the matchup appeal. I still trust Cook’s place in Buffalo’s offense over most of this week’s committees. |
| TE119 | Trey McBrideARI • TE1 | @ LAC | TE1 | First in every PPR ranking used here. Arizona’s competition for targets doesn’t change the position’s clearest start. |
| RB1120 | Ashton JeantyLV • RB11Cleared | vs. MIA | RB1 | Full practices all week and no game designation. I removed the injury discount without assuming Washington disappears from the rotation. |
| RB1221 | Kenneth Walker IIIKC • RB12 | vs. DEN | RB1 | Denver is the concern here. Walker remains a starter, but I prefer the touchdown opportunities available to Williams and Jeanty. |
| WR922 | Zay FlowersBAL • WR9Cleared | @ IND | WR1 | His hamstring carries no game designation. Jackson’s top quarterback ranking supports a strong start for his leading receiver. |
| WR1023 | Tee HigginsCIN • WR10 | vs. TB | WR1 | Cincinnati can support two productive receivers. I prefer Higgins’ touchdown opportunities to the less certain offenses immediately below. |
| WR1124 | Garrett WilsonNYJ • WR11 | @ TEN | WR1 | The Jets’ quarterback change adds uncertainty; Wilson still offers the clearest target claim in their receiving group. |
| WR1225 | Drake LondonATL • WR12 | @ PIT | WR1 | Cooper Rush will start. I lowered London from the numerical baseline while preserving a substantial share of Atlanta’s targets. |
| RB1326 | D’Andre SwiftCHI • RB13 | @ CAR | RB2 | Carolina makes him a useful RB2. Monangai has no listed game designation, so this ranking allows for shared carries. |
| RB1427 | Breece HallNYJ • RB14 | @ TEN | RB2 | His rushing and receiving work keep him ahead of the more fragmented backfields, with Tennessee providing the opening matchup. |
| RB1528 | Travis Etienne Jr.NO • RB15 | @ DET | RB2 | Kamara is questionable after a full Friday practice. Etienne leads my Saints rankings, with some targets reserved for Kamara. |
| WR1329 | Ladd McConkeyLAC • WR13 | vs. ARI | WR2 | Arizona’s secondary absences strengthen an already useful matchup. Full PPR suits the catches I expect him to collect. |
| WR1430 | Tetairoa McMillanCAR • WR14 | vs. CHI | WR2 | Carolina’s first receiver in my rankings, with Coker leaving enough competition to avoid an exaggerated target forecast. |
| RB1631 | Bucky IrvingTB • RB16 | @ CIN | RB2 | Gainwell could take receiving snaps. I still prefer Irving’s expected rushing workload and touchdown chances within this backfield. |
| TE232 | Colston LovelandCHI • TE2 | @ CAR | TE1 | Second throughout the PPR baseline. Any reduction in Odunze’s routes would strengthen Loveland’s opportunity further. |
| WR1533 | Jaylen WaddleDEN • WR15 | @ KC | WR2 | He leads my Denver receivers against Kansas City. Sutton remains involved, so I haven’t assigned Waddle every important target. |
| WR1634 | Rashee RiceKC • WR16 | vs. DEN | WR2 | No game designation for the knee. Denver keeps him below the first receiver tier despite the expected short-area targets. |
| RB1735 | David MontgomeryHOU • RB17 | vs. BUF | RB2 | Buffalo presents a useful rushing matchup to consider, though Marks can take the catches that matter in full PPR. |
| RB1836 | Cam SkatteboNYG • RB18 | vs. DAL | RB2 | I prefer his expected carries to the uncertain rookie workloads below him. Dallas gives the Giants reason to keep scoring. |
| WR1737 | Jameson WilliamsDET • WR17 | vs. NO | WR2 | Detroit has several ways to score, and Williams supplies the downfield option. The weekly ceiling exceeds the catch floor. |
| WR1838 | Luther Burden IIICHI • WR18 | @ CAR | WR2 | Odunze’s calf could redirect targets toward Burden. I raised him modestly while keeping Odunze in the projected lineup. |
| WR1939 | Emeka EgbukaTB • WR19Cleared | @ CIN | WR2 | Cleared after three full practices. McMillan’s doubtful designation strengthens the case for Egbuka to contribute immediately. |
| TE340 | Tyler WarrenIND • TE3 | vs. BAL | TE1 | Third across the PPR baseline. Indianapolis’ receiver competition hasn’t shaken the analysts’ confidence in his place in the offense. |
| WR2041 | Malik NabersNYG • WR20Questionable | vs. DAL | WR2 | Questionable despite full practices. Ranked assuming he plays; keep a Sunday-night or Monday replacement available before committing. |
| WR2142 | Parker WashingtonJAC • WR21 | vs. CLE | WR2 | He tops my Jacksonville receivers. Meyers and Thomas still make an overwhelming target share unlikely. |
| WR2243 | Christian WatsonGB • WR22 | @ MIN | WR2 | I prefer his downfield opportunities among Green Bay’s receivers, with Reed and Golden limiting how far I push him. |
| RB1944 | MarShawn LloydGB • RB19 | @ MIN | RB2 | Jacobs remains unavailable. Lloyd moves up for the opportunity, with Green Bay’s offensive-line injuries preventing a larger jump. |
| TE445 | Sam LaPortaDET • TE4 | vs. NO | TE1 | Detroit offers a strong scoring environment. Gibbs and St. Brown prevent a projection built on targets alone. |
| RB2046 | Jaylen WarrenPIT • RB20 | vs. ATL | RB2 | Receiving work gives him the PPR edge over Dowdle. Starting both is reasonable if you need a flex. |
| WR2347 | DJ MooreBUF • WR23 | @ HOU | WR2 | Allen improves the touchdown possibilities. Houston and Buffalo’s other receiving options keep this below a top-tier weekly projection. |
| WR2448 | Terry McLaurinWAS • WR24 | @ PHI | WR2 | Daniels’ rushing can sustain the offense without feeding every receiver. Philadelphia also makes the passing matchup demanding. |
| WR2549 | Chris Godwin Jr.TB • WR25 | @ CIN | WR3 | Egbuka returns, but McMillan is doubtful. Godwin remains a reasonable bet for catches in this passing group. |
| WR2650 | DK MetcalfPIT • WR26 | vs. ATL | WR3 | Pittman adds target competition. I still prefer Metcalf’s scoring ceiling among Pittsburgh receivers against Atlanta. |
| RB2151 | Quinshon JudkinsCLE • RB21 | @ JAC | RB2 | The carries interest me more than Cleveland’s scoring outlook. Jacksonville keeps him below the backs in stronger offenses. |
| TE552 | Juwan JohnsonNO • TE5 | @ DET | TE1 | Olave leads the passing game, while Tyson’s absence helps Johnson’s opportunity. Larky and Pianowski reinforce the higher placement. |
| RB2253 | Bhayshul TutenJAC • RB22 | vs. CLE | RB2 | Rodriguez still deserves a share of the carries. I prefer Tuten without treating Jacksonville as a one-back offense. |
| WR2754 | Marvin Harrison Jr.ARI • WR27 | @ LAC | WR3 | Brissett must divide throws among Harrison, Wilson, and McBride. That competition matters more than the name on the jersey. |
| WR2855 | Michael WilsonARI • WR28 | @ LAC | WR3 | A viable Arizona flex, with Harrison and McBride preventing a comfortable projection for concentrated targets. |
| RB2356 | Tony PollardTEN • RB23 | vs. NYJ | RB2 | Spears complicates the receiving projection; Pollard’s expected carries make him the first Tennessee back I’d start. |
| RB2457 | Chuba HubbardCAR • RB24 | vs. CHI | RB2 | Brooks is cleared without limitations. Hubbard remains my first Carolina choice, with a smaller workload assumption than a solo starter. |
| TE658 | Harold Fannin Jr.CLE • TE6 | @ JAC | TE1 | Cleveland’s receivers offer uncertain target claims. Fannin remains a reasonable PPR start despite the quarterback concern. |
| RB2559 | Jeremiyah LoveARI • RB25Questionable | @ LAC | Flex | Questionable after three limited practices. Ranked assuming he plays; Allgeier and Knight make an unrestricted workload a poor assumption. |
| TE760 | Dallas GoedertPHI • TE7 | vs. WAS | TE1 | Smith gets priority among Philadelphia pass catchers. Goedert still offers a direct route to touchdowns against Washington. |
| TE861 | Kyle Pitts Sr.ATL • TE8 | @ PIT | TE1 | I lowered him for the switch to Rush. The target opportunity remains; the quality of those throws is less certain. |
| WR2962 | Quentin JohnstonLAC • WR29 | vs. ARI | WR3 | Arizona’s depleted secondary earns him a small lift. McConkey still gets the stronger PPR projection. |
| WR3063 | Josh DownsIND • WR30 | vs. BAL | WR3 | I prefer his reception outlook to Pierce’s downfield dependence, especially with Indianapolis facing Baltimore. |
| WR3164 | Rome OdunzeCHI • WR31Questionable | @ CAR | WR3 | Questionable after three limited practices. I lowered him for calf-related workload risk even if Chicago activates him. |
| WR3265 | Courtland SuttonDEN • WR32 | @ KC | WR3 | Waddle moves ahead of him in the receiving order. Sutton can still matter near the end zone against Kansas City. |
| WR3366 | Michael Pittman Jr.PIT • WR33 | vs. ATL | WR3 | Metcalf keeps him second among Pittsburgh receivers. Catches can make Pittman useful without requiring the offense’s longest completion. |
| WR3467 | Wan’Dale RobinsonTEN • WR34 | vs. NYJ | WR3 | Full PPR helps his case. Tennessee also has Tate and Ridley, so I haven’t projected a target monopoly. |
| WR3568 | Brian Thomas Jr.JAC • WR35 | vs. CLE | WR3 | Washington and Meyers temper the weekly target forecast. I want evidence of a larger role before ranking Thomas higher. |
| TE969 | Travis KelceKC • TE9 | vs. DEN | TE1 | Mahomes is cleared, though Denver challenges the passing game. Kelce still belongs among the starters at a shallow position. |
| TE1070 | Tucker KraftGB • TE10Workload watch | @ MIN | TE1 | No game designation. I still allow for a cautious workload after his ACL recovery rather than immediately projecting every route. |
| RB2671 | Rico DowdlePIT • RB26 | vs. ATL | Flex | Warren gets my receiving advantage. Dowdle can still produce through carries and scoring opportunities against Atlanta. |
| TE1172 | Isaiah LikelyNYG • TE11 | vs. DAL | Streamer | Nabers’ uncertain workload creates a possible opening. Likely remains playable even without assuming the Giants lose their top receiver. |
| WR3673 | Carnell TateTEN • WR36 | vs. NYJ | WR3 | A usable deeper flex in his debut. Robinson and Ridley leave his initial target share uncertain. |
| WR3774 | Jalen CokerCAR • WR37 | vs. CHI | Flex | McMillan takes priority, but Coker still offers a plausible route to catches against Chicago. I’d use him as a flex. |
| WR3875 | Jayden ReedGB • WR38 | @ MIN | Flex | Watson, Golden, and Kraft compete for throws. Reed needs enough routes to convert his receiving talent into a PPR score. |
| WR3976 | Jordan AddisonMIN • WR39 | vs. GB | Flex | Jefferson commands the first look. Addison’s touchdown ceiling keeps him in flex consideration despite the smaller expected target share. |
| WR4077 | Jakobi MeyersJAC • WR40Cleared | vs. CLE | Flex | No game designation for the thumb. Jacksonville’s crowded receiving group limits the ceiling more than his availability does. |
| RB2778 | Kenny GainwellTB • RB27 | @ CIN | Flex | The appeal comes from catches alongside Irving. I prefer that PPR path to relying entirely on a backup’s touchdown. |
| RB2879 | J.K. DobbinsDEN • RB28 | @ KC | Flex | I favor his expected carries over Harvey’s, while leaving room for Denver to rotate both backs against Kansas City. |
| WR4180 | Tre TuckerLV • WR41 | vs. MIA | Flex | Bowers’ absence opens targets in Las Vegas. Tucker gets a lift, with Mayer and Nailor sharing the opportunity. |
| TE1281 | Michael MayerLV • TE12 | vs. MIA | Streamer | Bowers is out. Mayer gets an immediate opportunity, but I haven’t transferred Bowers’ entire target projection to him. |
| WR4282 | Khalil ShakirBUF • WR42 | @ HOU | Flex | Moore changes the target distribution. Shakir’s ability to collect shorter completions still appeals in a full-PPR flex spot. |
| WR4383 | Matthew GoldenGB • WR43 | @ MIN | Flex | The talent interests me, but Green Bay has several established targets. Treat the initial route share as unresolved. |
| RB2984 | Aaron Jones Sr.MIN • RB29 | vs. GB | Flex | Mason prevents a monopoly on Minnesota’s carries. Jones remains my preferred PPR start from the pair. |
| RB3085 | Jonathon BrooksCAR • RB30Cleared | vs. CHI | Flex | Carolina cleared him without limitations. That removes the medical concern, although Hubbard still makes the touch split uncertain. |
| WR4486 | KC ConcepcionCLE • WR44 | @ JAC | Flex | Cleveland’s quarterback situation limits the passing projection. Concepcion remains my first Browns receiver, ahead of Boston and Jeudy. |
| WR4587 | Alec PierceIND • WR45Cleared | vs. BAL | Flex | No game designation for the heel. He offers downfield upside, with fewer dependable catches than Downs. |
| WR4688 | Stefon DiggsWAS • WR46 | @ PHI | Flex | McLaurin leads Washington’s receivers, and Philadelphia makes the secondary targets harder to trust. A deeper PPR option. |
| TE1389 | Dalton KincaidBUF • TE13 | @ HOU | Streamer | Houston makes the matchup difficult, and Moore and Shakir also need targets. Allen keeps the touchdown possibilities intact. |
| TE1490 | Mark AndrewsBAL • TE14 | @ IND | Streamer | Flowers leads the receiving group. Andrews can still finish a drive, even when Baltimore produces most of its yards rushing. |
| RB3191 | RJ HarveyDEN • RB31 | @ KC | Flex | Dobbins stays ahead of him. Harvey needs receiving work or a larger share of carries to beat this placement. |
| RB3292 | Jordan MasonMIN • RB32 | vs. GB | Flex | The rushing and touchdown route is clear enough for a flex; Jones makes the reception projection less attractive. |
| RB3393 | Rachaad WhiteWAS • RB33 | @ PHI | Flex | I give White the PPR edge over Croskey-Merritt because Washington may need to throw against Philadelphia. |
| TE1594 | Jake FergusonDAL • TE15 | @ NYG | Streamer | Lamb and Pickens command attention. Ferguson’s route to a usable week depends on enough secondary catches or a touchdown. |
| RB3495 | Jacory Croskey-MerrittWAS • RB34Cleared | @ PHI | Flex | No game designation after the groin issue. I expect carries, with White still competing for passing-down snaps. |
| WR4796 | Xavier WorthyKC • WR47 | vs. DEN | Flex | His shoulder has no game designation. Denver and the targets going to Rice and Kelce keep him outside my preferred flexes. |
| RB3597 | Tyler AllgeierARI • RB35 | @ LAC | Flex | Love’s ankle creates a possible opening. This placement assumes Love plays; an absence would move Allgeier substantially higher. |
| RB3698 | Chris Rodriguez Jr.JAC • RB36 | vs. CLE | Flex | Useful if Jacksonville gives him meaningful carries near the goal line. Tuten keeps the broader workload from becoming dependable. |
| WR4899 | Devaughn VeleNO • WR48 | @ DET | Flex | Tyson’s absence leaves an opening alongside Olave. Vele moves up, though Johnson also deserves a meaningful share of throws. |
| WR49100 | Adonai MitchellNYJ • WR49 | @ TEN | Deep flex | Wilson remains the first Jets receiver. Mitchell needs enough routes and targets to make the secondary role worthwhile. |
| WR50101 | Makai LemonPHI • WR50 | vs. WAS | Deep flex | Smith and Goedert have stronger target claims. I’d use the rookie only when the lineup requires another receiver. |
| WR51102 | Dontayvion WicksPHI • WR51 | vs. WAS | Deep flex | Philadelphia has room for complementary production, but the competition for targets makes his weekly total difficult to trust. |
| WR52103 | Jalen NailorLV • WR52 | vs. MIA | Deep flex | Bowers is out, which helps. Tucker and Mayer still leave Nailor dependent on how Las Vegas divides those missing targets. |
| WR53104 | Denzel BostonCLE • WR53 | @ JAC | Deep flex | Cleveland’s passing uncertainty applies here, too. He needs a more substantial target share to move beyond deep-league consideration. |
| RB37105 | Woody MarksHOU • RB37 | vs. BUF | Deep flex | Montgomery limits the rushing projection. Marks can still earn a flex score through catches against Buffalo. |
| WR54106 | Jerry JeudyCLE • WR54 | @ JAC | Deep flex | I prefer Concepcion and Boston in the Browns’ receiving group. The offense offers little reason to force a third option. |
| RB38107 | Kyle MonangaiCHI • RB38 | @ CAR | Deep flex | Swift remains the preferred start. Monangai needs a worthwhile share of Chicago’s carries to justify this deeper flex ranking. |
| WR55108 | Kayshon BoutteHOU • WR55 | vs. BUF | Deep flex | Collins comes first in Houston. Boutte needs secondary targets to produce enough catches for a usable PPR total. |
| RB39109 | Tyjae SpearsTEN • RB39 | vs. NYJ | Deep flex | A reception-dependent flex behind Pollard, particularly if Tennessee asks him to run routes while chasing points. |
| WR56110 | Keenan AllenIND • WR56 | vs. BAL | Deep flex | Downs, Pierce, and Warren crowd Indianapolis’ passing game. I need a deeper lineup before turning to Allen. |
| WR57111 | Malik WashingtonMIA • WR57 | @ LV | Deep flex | Miami’s receiving order leaves opportunity, but Willis can run instead of throwing. The target total remains difficult to pin down. |
| WR58112 | Tre’ HarrisLAC • WR58 | vs. ARI | Deep flex | Arizona’s injuries help the matchup. McConkey and Johnston still lead my expectations for Chargers receivers. |
| WR59113 | Jauan JenningsMIN • WR59 | vs. GB | Deep flex | Jefferson and Addison take priority in Minnesota. Jennings needs a larger role than I’m comfortable assuming for the opener. |
| WR60114 | Ja’Kobi LaneBAL • WR60 | @ IND | Deep flex | A deep-league option behind Flowers and Andrews. Baltimore’s rushing production can leave little receiving volume for its complementary targets. |
| RB40115 | Keaton MitchellLAC • RB40Cleared | vs. ARI | Deep flex | No game designation after a full Friday practice. His change-of-pace role earns the final spot; Hampton remains the clear preference. |
| DST1 | Jacksonville JaguarsJAC | vs. CLE | Priority | Cleveland’s uncertain passing offense supplies the matchup. Four of our core analysts rank Jacksonville first on the remaining slate. |
| DST2 | Pittsburgh SteelersPIT | vs. ATL | Priority | Atlanta will start Rush with Tagovailoa and Penix out. That quarterback situation lifts Pittsburgh above the numerical baseline. |
| DST3 | Los Angeles ChargersLAC | vs. ARI | Priority | Brissett and an uncertain Arizona backfield provide the appeal. Love’s ankle is relevant even if he plays. |
| DST4 | Denver BroncosDEN | @ KC | Starter | Kansas City’s protection concerns matter here. I moved Denver up after weighing Dataroma and Harris against the broader average. |
| DST5 | Philadelphia EaglesPHI | vs. WAS | Starter | Daniels’ rushing makes this less straightforward than a home favorite alone suggests. Greenard’s absence also trims the pass-rush outlook. |
| DST6 | Houston TexansHOU | vs. BUF | Starter | I trust the defense enough to start it, but Allen can punish pressure. This is a tougher matchup than the teams above. |
| DST7 | Baltimore RavensBAL | @ IND | Starter | Indianapolis gives the pass rush an opportunity. Taylor’s workload is the main reason I don’t move Baltimore higher. |
| DST8 | Minnesota VikingsMIN | vs. GB | Streamer | Green Bay’s offensive-line injuries improve the matchup. Love and his receivers still make this a start with some scoring risk. |
| DST9 | Detroit LionsDET | vs. NO | Streamer | New Orleans has useful weapons, so a shutout isn’t the thesis. I want pressure opportunities if Shough must keep throwing. |
| DST10 | Tennessee TitansTEN | vs. NYJ | Streamer | Geno Smith and the Jets provide a preferable streaming matchup to Buffalo’s trip to Houston. Dataroma supports the tiebreaker. |
