If you've been fortunate enough to make the playoffs this year in your Fantasy Football League; here are some players to keep your eyes on while you make your championship run.
Starting from the top, Quarterbacks:
Buffalo Bills Josh Allen, San Francisco 49ers Brock Purdy, and Houston Texans C.J. Stroud have been standout players in fantasy football leagues this year. Allen leads all other quarterbacks in points scored and average points this season. He's been a consistent contributor to any playoff worthy team. Purdy may have been a late round draft pick to be a backup, but like in the pros, he makes a valid statement as a starter. He hangs fifth in points scored by quarterbacks. Now, Stroud falls under a different category. In most leagues he was a waiver wire steal. The Texans star rookie quarterback ranks himself sixth amongst other quarterbacks in points tallied.
Next we have Running Backs:
Here is the position that makes or breaks most people's Fantasy Football Leagues. 49ers Christian McCaffrey leads all rbs by far this season. The only backs that come close are Miami Dolphins Raheem Mostert and Jacksonville Jaguars Travis Etienne Jr.
Wide Receivers that'll take the top off in scoring include:
Without a doubt, Dolphins Tyreek Hill. To say the least, Hill is looking to set records this season. Tyreek is trailed by Dallas Cowboys Ceedee Lamb, who has been on an impressive run the past few weeks. After a slow start to the season, Lamb has scored no less than 16 points in his last eight games played. Finally for wideouts, Chicago Bears DJ Moore has become a very reliable wide WR2; as he gets comfortable as Bears quarterback Justin Fields' WR1. Los Angeles Rams receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp are honorable mentions with quarterback Matthew Stafford heating up towards the end of the season.
Tight Ends, tending to be an overlooked position in Fantasy Football Leagues, include a couple players that may edge you out a close win. These players are:
Obviously Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce; leading all tight ends in points and average points scored. But there is a tight end that is a close second. That player being Minnesota Vikings T.J. Hockenson. Another sneaky tight end pickup could be Baltimore Ravens Isaiah Likely. Since the injury to Mark Andrews, Likely has steadily become a reliable outlet for quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Finally, Defenses and Kickers. Not the flashiest roster spots, but some consistent pickups include:
Chiefs Defense, as they have proved to be one of the better units this year. Kansas City goes up against all considered backup quarterbacks in the next three weeks. A stealthy pickup could be the Atlanta Falcons Defense. They play this week against the NFL's worst record holders, the Carolina Panthers. And the Falcons have yet to log a negative point game this year in fantasy football, so they are a relatively safe bet.
Lastly, Dallas kicker Brandon Aubrey and Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins have put themselves as the top fantasy football kickers this year.
