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: Nothing against Bills prima Josh Allen, who continues to proviso coagulated numbers to phantasy teams, but Chiefs prima Patrick Mahomes is performing better, and helium moves into the No. 1 spot. Mahomes has eclipsed 26 PPR points successful 4 consecutive games and present leads each QBs (and everyone else) successful play scoring. Allen hasn't reached 25 PPR points successful immoderate of his past 4 games. For now, helium remains up of the Eagles' Jalen Hurts, Bears' Justin Fields and Bengals' Joe Burrow successful a fascinating apical tier.

As for the adjacent tier, the Ravens' Lamar Jackson is extracurricular the apical 10 QBs successful phantasy scoring since Week 4. He drops past the Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa, who was connected a Week 11 bye. Later successful the rankings but closing in, Dak Prescott and the Cowboys embarrassed Kirk Cousins and the Vikings and the effect present is Prescott gets backmost into the apical 10, arsenic Cousins falls out. And don't hide the Browns person lone 1 much crippled until Deshaun Watson starts.

Trade for: The apical 7 QBs are the safest and astir reliable, and that includes Fields, who wounded his non-throwing enarthrosis successful Sunday's crippled and bears watching. As agelong arsenic helium tin play, and run, trust connected him.

Be cautious: Jackson has played simply mean shot for 2 months. The Cardinals' Kyler Murray isn't healthy. Cousins has to look much pugnacious defenses the adjacent fewer weeks. If you privation to spot Watson for December, not knowing however good his caller discourtesy volition play, spell for it. Anyone aft that is adjacent much risky. Good for the Commanders' Taylor Heinicke keeping his starting role, but he's hardly a phantasy savior. The Falcons' Marcus Mariota and 49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo are acold amended successful fantasy.

Running back

Rankings changes: Fantasy managers thin to conflict evaluating moving backs successful timeshares, but the Lions' Jamaal Williams and Cowboys' Tony Pollard definite aren't acting arsenic if they stock touches. Williams keeps piling connected TDs. Pollard is doing everything. Each is present firmly successful our RB2 range. The Bengals' Joe Mixon, who near Sunday's crippled with a concussion, drops retired of RB1 status, but remains valuable. Carolina's all-or-nothing D'Onta Foreman leaves the apical 20.

Later on, the Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco and Patriots' Damien Harris ran good connected Sunday, but neither are large pass-catchers. Cam Akers is backmost successful play for the Rams, portion the Broncos spell with Latavius Murray aft the stunning Melvin Gordon III release.

Trade for: The Lions proceed to acceptable up Williams with aureate opportunities to supply phantasy points. Sure, D'Andre Swift scored a TD connected Sunday, but helium inactive hasn't surpassed 10 touches since Week 1. Pollard looks safe, too, adjacent with Ezekiel Elliott back. The Bills' Devin Singletary is scoring touchdowns.

Be cautious: Just erstwhile we commencement trusting Foreman, look what happens. The Buccaneers didn't play successful Week 11, but it's conscionable a conjecture however their touches volition disagreement this coming week. In addition, don't spot the Chiefs' options, oregon those connected the Jets, Commanders, Ravens and Rams.

Wide receiver

Rankings changes: Not overmuch question successful the apical 20. The Chargers' Keenan Allen yet returned from a hamstring wounded to play his 3rd crippled of the play and delivered his champion outing. Cleveland's Amari Cooper besides returned to WR2 status. Rookies George Pickens of the Steelers and Christian Watson of the Packers aren't rather determination yet, but they are closing in. The Chargers' Mike Williams and Chiefs' Kadarius Toney are wounded again.

Trade for: You privation quality makers astatine this point, and the apical 20 wide receivers qualify. Don't hide astir the Seahawks that conscionable served their bye week. Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf are WR2 scorers this season. Washington's Terry McLaurin is harmless again.

Be cautious: The Saints' Chris Olave remains the lone harmless rookie for now. Do not commercialized for injured Rams prima Cooper Kupp, presuming helium helps you successful the last week oregon two. Seems unlikely.

Tight end

Rankings changes: Injuries proceed to beryllium the story, arsenic those frustrated by disappointing Falcon Kyle Pitts (knee) tin yet determination connected to idiosyncratic other specified arsenic the Saints' Juwan Johnson (in the apical 10), the Raiders' Foster Moreau and the Titans' Austin Hooper.
