Trade Value Rankings: Aaron Rodgers dips; Breece Hall creeps higher

Eric Karabell ranks players for their phantasy shot commercialized worth for the remainder of the 2022 NFL play each week until the phantasy shot commercialized deadline (noon ET connected Nov. 30). Use the accusation to suggest oregon measure trades and to optimize the players connected your seat for their aboriginal potential. Eric's apical 100 tin beryllium recovered beneath the positions successful this column.

Quarterback

Rankings changes: Quarterback is usually truthful heavy that we find it hard to constrictive down 13 oregon 14 choices into the apical 10. Not this season. Packers starter Aaron Rodgers continues to underwhelm, for immoderate reason, falling abbreviated of 17 PPR points successful each game, and helium falls to No. 14. Yep, adjacent down Seattle's astonishing Geno Smith and Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence. Hey, we woody successful numbers here, and Rodgers enters Week 7 with less phantasy points than Denver's Russell Wilson, Washington's Carson Wentz and Cleveland fill-in Jacoby Brissett!

Meanwhile, Vikings starter Kirk Cousins deservingly breaks into the apical 10, which isn't truthful shocking; he's been a borderline QB1 successful standard, 10-team leagues for years, and helium is 10th among QBs successful PPR scoring today. He passes Buccaneers starter Tom Brady, though Brady remains apical 10 for now, mostly owed to the presumption lacking idiosyncratic that deserves his spot. Geno Smith implicit Tom Brady? We tin marque the case.

Trade for: While the Bills' Josh Allen remains successful his ain apical tier, the genuinely trustworthy phantasy options present extremity astatine the Bengals' Joe Burrow astatine No. 7. Perhaps that's unfair. Cousins whitethorn not triumph existent playoff games, but he's ever serviceable successful fantasy, possibly underrated, really, particularly arsenic top-end extent eludes america successful 2022. The Cowboys' Dak Prescott apt returns this week. Trade for him arsenic a borderline QB1, but not a harmless one.

Be cautious: As we support noting weekly, assuming usually dependable Rodgers oregon Brady (or Wilson oregon the Rams' Matthew Stafford) simply change the trajectory of their alternatively disappointing seasons and commencement playing similar their versions from caller seasons is asking a lot. The Bears' Justin Fields inactive has that QB1 upside due to the fact that of his legs, occasionally showing it, but trading for him remains precocious risk. The Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa apt returns this week. He is not Prescott. Be wary.

Running back

Rankings changes: Young moving backs proceed to rise, with the Jets' Breece Hall forcing his mode into the apical 10, adjacent jumping up of the Bengals' Joe Mixon. Volume matters, and Mixon's unusual play continues. The Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson is getting measurement for present and joins the RB2 enactment on with Seahawks rookie Kenneth Walker III. The Jaguars' Travis Etienne Jr. closes successful arsenic well. A brace of Packers (Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon) fall, on with the Ravens' J.K. Dobbins and Commanders' Antonio Gibson. The Rams look to privation Cam Akers connected their squad adjacent little than you do, and who knows what's happening successful Denver?

Trade for: As agelong arsenic the Jets and Seahawks support feeding their rookies, we tin number connected them. The Saints' Alvin Kamara surely looks harmless again. There was overmuch skepticism surrounding the NFC East moving backs successful the preseason, but the Giants' Saquon Barkley, Eagles' Miles Sanders, Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard proceed to enactment steadfast and play well. Perhaps the Commanders' Brian Robinson becomes statistically trustworthy soon. Trade for the Colts' Jonathan Taylor with fingers crossed.

Be cautious: The hazard connected acquiring Stevenson is that helium goes backmost to splitting touches with Damien Harris. May happen, whitethorn not happen. The lone RB to outscore Stevenson successful Week 6 was the Colts' Deon Jackson, but there's nary looming timeshare there. When Taylor is healthy, helium gets the touches. Who gets the touches for the Rams? It's truthful risky to presume it is Darrell Henderson Jr. Nor tin we presume Kenyan Drake is harmless for the Ravens oregon that Latavius Murray, of each people, is Denver's guy. We privation to judge the Packers volition fig everything retired soon, but Jones and Dillon aren't giving america overmuch hope.

Wide receiver

Rankings changes: The large mover astatine this presumption is idiosyncratic who hasn't played each season. The Cardinals get DeAndre Hopkins backmost from suspension for Thursday's crippled against the Saints. It should assistance QB Kyler Murray and the moving game. In addition, Arizona acquired disgruntled Panther Robbie Anderson, and helium replaces an injured Marquis Brown, who whitethorn beryllium done for a while. Lots going connected successful Arizona!

Meanwhile, it was bully to spot the Colts' Michael Pittman Jr., 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk and Steelers' Chase Claypool punctual america of their peculiar talents. Pittman returns to harmless WR2 range. It remains to beryllium seen if Aiyuk and Claypool stay statistically relevant. Finally, larn the sanction of Patriots rookie Tyquan Thornton. He scored 2 touchdowns Sunday.

Trade for: It's inactive not galore targets, but the Bills' Gabe Davis makes large plays, and his QB whitethorn triumph MVP. Now is simply a bully clip to get the Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown, seeing that helium is presumed steadfast and his bye week passed. Saints rookie Chris Olave should play Thursday. Who knows astir seasoned Saints WR Michael Thomas?

Be cautious: Just due to the fact that the Cardinals dealt for Anderson, who has been disappointing since his breakout 2020 campaign, doesn't mean you request to. The Jets definite are moving the shot rather a bit, lowering the worth of their receivers. Rams disappointment Allen Robinson II outscored Cooper Kupp successful PPR points, but we tin number connected lone 1 of them astatine this point. Ben Skowronek scored a touchdown, too.

Tight end

Rankings changes: There remains a alternatively ample driblet betwixt the apical 2 options and the rest. While the Chiefs' Travis Kelce and Ravens' Mark Andrews thrive each week, it was bully to spot immoderate strugglers rebound. The Falcons' Kyle Pitts, Bills' Dawson Knox and Patriots' Hunter Henry scored touchdowns, the Dolphins' Mike Gesicki scored two, and the Packers' Robert Tonyan was the premier Rodgers target. Names to ticker successful deeper formats: the Broncos' Greg Dulcich, Buccaneers' Cade Otton, Giants' Daniel Bellinger. The Saints' Taysom Hill remains each oregon thing statistically.
