It is a easy objective for fantasy managers — go the place the factors are. Determine the juiciest NFL offenses, and take as a lot of their gamers as you possibly can.
Now that we’re in the midst of November, it is a good time to take inventory of the offenses we belief and those we do not. Here is how I view all 32 groups for the fantasy worth they collectively supply.
All fantasy weekly grades are from FantasyPros utilizing half-point PPR scoring.
No, they don’t seem to be one of the best staff within the NFL and even the NFC. They may not even win their division. However Christian McCaffrey immediately returned to bell-cow standing and Jauan Jennings is already a WR2 for fantasy functions, settling into the X position that Brandon Aiyuk vacated.
2. Philadelphia Eagles (5)
Jalen Hurts has change into unfair along with his success on the objective line, and there is greater than sufficient left over for Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
3. Baltimore Ravens (7)
It is laborious to consider that is an age-30 season for Derrick Henry; he is second in damaged tackles and second in yards after contact (to be truthful, there’s some double counting while you point out each stats). And Henry’s profession pattern reveals he often will get higher as a season strikes alongside. The Ravens have been sluggish to onboard Diontae Johnson, and even when Johnson will get extra snaps, this passing recreation has a number of different official choices. I would not blame anybody who minimize Johnson.
4. Detroit Lions (1)
The backfield has two straightforward performs, however Amon-Ra St. Brown has been the one fixed within the downfield passing recreation. Jameson Williams is their x-factor, the boom-bust man.
5. Cincinnati Bengals (10)
The Bengals are the runaway leaders in go price over expectation, so Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase are able to tilt fantasy seasons. Chase Brown will probably be impactful, too; Khalil Herbert’s acquisition was merely a depth play.
6. Buffalo Payments (2)
All summer time we puzzled who was the correct reply within the pass-catching room. However typically there aren’t any proper solutions.
7. Minnesota Vikings (4)
Sam Darnold persistently pushes the ball downfield and most of his passing metrics are nicely above league common. However he lags in two crucial areas — his sack and interception charges are each under code. When you possibly can’t keep away from destructive performs, you play with a capped upside. Kevin O’Connell is a dreamy play designer, however finally, Darnold’s mistake-prone nature will take this staff down.
8. Inexperienced Bay Packers (6)
The Inexperienced Bay passing pie all the time smells good, however that pie is minimize into a number of items. Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Tucker Kraft and Christian Watson are all sitting between 39 and 47 targets. Jordan Love has raised his landing price and YPA this yr, however he is additionally seen a significant spike in interceptions.
9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8)
If energy of schedule is one among your ideas, the Buccaneers may very well be your staff. Tampa Bay has confronted the toughest schedule in soccer so far, and now it is the best shifting ahead. The Cowboys and Panthers are ready within the ultimate two weeks of the fantasy playoffs.
10. Seattle Seahawks (9)
The Seahawks have lastly unlocked Jaxon-Smith Njigba, however the offense is not the identical with out DK Metcalf. Give Seattle credit score for protecting it shifting — they play on the second-fastest tempo within the league.
11. Atlanta Falcons (10)
Kirk Cousins went ballistic in his two begins in opposition to Tampa Bay. In his different begins this yr, he averages a QB20 end. For some motive, the Falcons gave Tyler Allgeier three straight goal-line rushes final week — all unsuccessful — earlier than Bijan Robinson completed the job.
12. Arizona Cardinals (14)
Might we get some consistency from Kyler Murray? Contemplate his weekly finishes: QB15, QB1, QB17, QB24, QB5, QB25, QB5, QB12, QB30, QB4. James Conner has been essentially the most underrated again in soccer for a few years.
13. L.A. Rams (28)
Most rankings have Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp shut collectively each week, however Nacua’s upside is increased when you think about how usually the Rams prioritize him on a go route.
14. Kansas Metropolis Chiefs (17)
Travis Kelce did little or no the primary three weeks, however Rashee Rice was damage in Week 3. Kelce since then: TE5, TE7, TE30, TE4, TE3, TE1. The unique plan was to avoid wasting Kelce extra for the playoffs, however plans need to be versatile while you hit a pothole.
15. Washington Commanders (11)
Jayden Daniels has been all the things we dreamed about and the long-awaited Terry McLaurin profession season has been superb. However there is not a second receiver getting house on this roster, surprisingly.
16. Houston Texans (15)
Joe Mixon has 5 100-yard video games and eight touchdowns, surviving regardless of a Houston offensive line that hasn’t performed nicely. Nico Collins is desperately wanted again to repair the downfield passing recreation, however maybe John Metchie III’s Week 10 breakout has some stickiness.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers (19)
The Steelers have the bottom go price over expectation within the league, which implies Najee Harris is an computerized fantasy starter for the yr and Jaylen Warren carries some flex enchantment. George Pickens has WR3 and WR5 finishes in his final three begins, clearly higher off now that Russell Wilson is the Pittsburgh starter. Not that Pittsburgh performed a simple schedule so far; it is about to get significantly more durable.
18. Miami Dolphins (25)
Tua Tagovailoa is again but it surely hasn’t been a lot enjoyable: QB22, QB19, QB22. The Dolphins do not belief their offensive line and so they’re anxious about Tua’s well being, and it reveals within the play-calling.
19. Indianapolis Colts (20)
The Colts performed the Eleventh-hardest schedule for the primary 10 weeks, however they face the third-easiest slate from this level ahead. So it is the proper time to return to Anthony Richardson, even when it is not one of the best information for anybody holding tickets for this WR room.
20. L.A. Chargers (27)
The Chargers are by no means going to be a proactive passing staff, however Justin Herbert’s effectivity stats are a dream. As we meander by heavy bye-week season, Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey are each value contemplating. TE Will Dissly, too.
21. Denver Broncos (31)
Audric Estimé was justly chased within the free agent pool this week, the brand new two-down pounder in Denver. However he had a restricted receiving profile in school and hasn’t caught a go within the NFL but, so perceive we’re speaking a couple of capped upside. Courtland Sutton is beginning to click on with Bo Nix, hitting WR7 and WR7 the final two weeks.
22. Chicago Bears (21)
The Chicago offensive line is clearly an issue, however keep in mind that sacks are extra a quarterback stat than an offensive line stat. Caleb Williams is holding onto the ball too lengthy, not that departed OC Shane Waldron did him any favors. Chicago performed the second-easiest schedule so far; it is the toughest in soccer shifting ahead.
23. NY Jets (22)
Coaches have been fired. Play sheets have switched palms. Signature trades have been made. There aren’t any extra playing cards to play. Fold the hand.
24. Jacksonville Jaguars (23)
There’s nothing actually improper with Tank Bigsby, however the scenario round him is falling aside. Trevor Lawrence is not wholesome, the staff is shedding video games, too many recreation scripts get out of hand. The Jaguars do not use Bigsby within the passing recreation a lot and Travis Etienne Jr. has additionally returned. That is why Bigsby may be a justified minimize in some leagues proper now.
25. NY Giants (24)
No one sees Drew Lock as a savior, however Daniel Jones in all probability deserves to be benched when the Giants return from their bye. Tyrone Tracy Jr. has shoved Devin Singletary out of the way in which, notable when you think about Singletary’s historical past with head coach Brian Daboll.
26. Las Vegas Raiders (26)
Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers are fantasy-playable, Alexander Mattison too if you’d like some empty quantity. However there aren’t any proper solutions on this quarterback room, and the Raiders protection can be getting trampled most weeks.
27. Cleveland Browns (30)
Hope for Jameis Winston to beat New Orleans this week, as a result of this fantasy offense is way extra attention-grabbing with Winston versus Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Final three video games for Cedric Tillman: WR14, WR3, WR12.
28. Tennessee Titans (29)
Calvin Ridley has proven he can produce with each quarterbacks, so welcome again to the Circle of Belief. Tony Pollard is gallantly enjoying each week regardless of accidents that maintain him off form; regulate Tyjae Spears.
29. New Orleans Saints (12)
Their smashing 2-0 begin feels prefer it was 15 years in the past. Alvin Kamara has been fantasy royalty all yr, however his heavy workload is regarding given his body and profession resume.
30. New England Patriots (32)
Drake Maye checks all of the packing containers: athletic, aggressive, correct. The mediocre offensive line in entrance of him has not held him again a lot. Rhamondre Stevenson has been a credit score RB21 by the opening 10 weeks.
31. Dallas Cowboys (13)
It is no enjoyable to tug the plug on an offense, however we’ve no alternative. You play CeeDee Lamb, certain, and perhaps you maintain your nostril and use Rico Dowdle. Jake Ferguson performs tight finish, so that you may be caught there. However this offense in all probability has no probability with Cooper Rush and Trey Lance.
32. Carolina Panthers (18)
Chuba Hubbard has been one of many fantasy steals of the yr, however he is the one playable man on the roster. Think about what Hubbard may do if he may face his personal protection, the most important speeding giveaway within the league.
