Rest of Season Fantasy Football Rankings: Risers & Fallers

Ranked eighth overall, Amon-Ra St. Brown is an unbelievable player averaging 25 points per game; Jir Gibbs suggests he could have been ranked as high as fifth and expects a bounce-back performance against Carolina.

Bijan Robinson is ranked as the number two overall player and is considered the primary threat to Jahmyr Gibbs' top spot, especially with Michael Penix Jr. at quarterback. He is firmly back in the elite running back tier.

Ranked 13th overall, Brock Bowers is a locked-in asset and the benchmark for elite tight end performance; he recently posted 10 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets, with Jir Gibbs noting it is difficult to compete in fantasy matchups without him.

Brock Purdy is ranked alongside Lamar Jackson as a top-tier quarterback (QB2/QB3). Gibbs notes that Purdy's production remains consistent regardless of the attrition among his receiving corps.

Ranked 12th overall, CeeDee Lamb is currently outscoring Chris Olave in points per game, but Jir Gibbs expects regression from his 23-point-per-game average, leading to a lower ranking compared to other wide receivers.

Chase Brown is downgraded to 21st overall due to disappointing fantasy outcomes despite high volume; he is currently averaging 13 points per game compared to his previous 20 PPG average with Joe Burrow. While he faces no competition for touches, his recent scoring production is viewed as unsustainable, and Jir Gibbs expects continued regression.

Ranked 10th overall, Chris Olave is viewed as a league winner due to his alpha profile and high target volume; Jir Gibbs prefers him over CeeDee Lamb for the remainder of the season, believing Olave will outscore him despite currently trailing in points per game.

Ranked seventh overall, Christian McCaffrey is a locked-in asset averaging 19 points per game, though Jir Gibbs and Theo Griminger note he is currently less productive as a runner compared to top-tier backs like Gibbs and Robinson; he is projected to sustain an 18-20 point range if he remains healthy.

Jir Gibbs ranks Christian Watson 25th overall, calling him a 'weapon of mass destruction' with elite touchdown potential. While Watson is currently averaging over 23 points per game with five touchdowns, Gibbs acknowledges potential regression but still expects him to finish as a top-five touchdown scorer.

Jir Gibbs admits he was wrong to fade Chuba Hubbard in the preseason and is making a significant upward adjustment, moving him firmly inside the top 50 rankings as a low-30s player.

Despite a disappointing week three, Dalton Kincaid is ranked as the TE3 and sits inside the top 50 overall. Gibbs ranks him ahead of both Tyler Warren and George Kittle.

Ranked ninth and tenth overall, Derrick Henry is a locked-in starter and league winner averaging 25 points per game; he has scored a touchdown in every game this season and has exceeded 17 points in every week.

Jir Gibbs ranks Drake London 15th overall, citing his incredible historical splits with Michael Penix Jr. and his recent 190-yard outing as evidence that he is a locked-and-loaded WR1.

Emeka Egbuka is a notable faller in rankings due to concerns regarding the Tampa Bay passing game and the impact of Jaylen Daniels on his target volume.

Ranked as the number five player, Ja'Marr Chase has rebounded from a week one dud with back-to-back strong performances, scoring 26 points in week two and 24.8 in week three. Jir Gibbs expects continued strong production against the Jaguars.

Jahmyr Gibbs remains the top-ranked player in rest-of-season rankings, averaging 32.8 points per game. He is firmly established in the top-three running back tier alongside Bijan Robinson and Kenneth Walker, with Jir Gibbs questioning if he is on track for a historically great season.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba's pre-season expectations varied widely among analysts, ranging from a bottom-of-the-first-round pick to as high as sixth overall. He is also used as a benchmark for the opportunity cost of drafting Justin Jefferson early in high-stakes formats.

Jir Gibbs highlights that Joe Burrow's health is a critical driver for teammate Chase Brown's fantasy production, noting that Brown averaged 20 points per game when playing alongside a healthy Burrow.

Ranked sixth overall, Jonathan Taylor is the focal point of the Colts' offense. Despite a down week, he has shown increased receiving usage, with at least two catches in every game, and is expected to bounce back against the Commanders.

Josh Allen is the clear QB1, currently clearing the field by averaging four points more per game than the QB2 and eight points more than the QB3. Despite a poor outing against the Chargers, he remains a dominant fantasy force; however, Jir Gibbs notes his role as a 'weapon of mass destruction' around the goal line negatively impacts the fantasy ceiling of teammate James Cook.

Jefferson is expected to miss time due to injury, though it is not considered serious. Jir Gibbs suggests a ranking in the 15-18 range is appropriate, noting that while he remains a great asset for those who drafted him inside the second round, drafting him at 10 overall or ahead of Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been a source of frustration for managers.

Kenneth Walker is ranked as the number four overall player, averaging 26.4 points per game. His elite status is driven by significant involvement in the passing game, placing him in the top tier of running backs alongside Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson.

Luther Burden's current ranking remains consistent with preseason expectations.

Malik Nabers remains inside the top 50 overall rankings, but Jir Gibbs notes he is on dangerous ground, leading to a decline in his overall standing.

Jir Gibbs and Theo Griminger both admit that recommending MarShawn Lloyd as a seventh or eighth-round pick was a mistake, citing the poor performance of the Green Bay offense.

Matthew Golden is a massive riser in rankings, now placed inside the top 40. Gibbs highlights his high target volume, including two 12-target games, and expresses high confidence in him, noting he drafted Golden in high-stakes formats like the FFPC main event. Gibbs believes Golden will have games where he emerges as the highest-scoring wide receiver.

Jir Gibbs ranks Parker Washington 24th overall, citing his role as the focal point of the Jacksonville offense and his strong chemistry with Trevor Lawrence. The threat from Brian Thomas Jr. has not materialized, and Washington is currently producing like a WR1.

Jir Gibbs ranks Puka Nacua at 18-19 overall but expresses concern over the lack of clarity regarding his hip injury, noting the potential for setbacks and surgery if he does not recover as expected. The recurring uncertainty regarding his return is causing 'bad vibes' for fantasy managers.

Ranked 16th overall, McBride is a 'usage king' averaging 19.7 points per game with 34 targets over three weeks. Even in a game where teammate Michael Wilson saw 17 targets, McBride still commanded 11 targets, proving his elite floor and making him a difficult matchup for opponents in regular PPR formats.

Ranked 11th overall, Zay Flowers is showing elite efficiency with over nine yards per route run and 20 points per game; Jir Gibbs suggests an explosion is imminent due to high usage and fewer mouths to feed.
