Week 7 Astro Rankings
Another week of football. Covid has not taken any games out this week. There have been precautionary moves, such as the Raiders game being moved to the afternoon slot and Seattle versus Arizona being move to the night game. But as of this writing, good news all around for another week. Last week we saw rookie running backs get some chances and perform. We also saw why Dak deserves to get paid. Let's get ready for another week of football and another week of grinding. This week's rankings are only going to take into consideration all Sunday matchups and the Monday and the scheduled Tuesday night games. These rankings are based on Half-PPR leagues.
Quarterback Rankings
1) Russell Wilson - Seattle Seahawks
2) Kyler Murray - Arizona Cardinals
3) Patrick Mahomes - Kansas City Chiefs
4) Josh Allen - Buffalo Bills
5) Deshaun Watson - Houston Texans
Once again, our top two QBs are Russell Wilson and whoever he is playing. Expect points to be put up in a hurry. Patrick Mahomes is still great. Josh Allen hasn't been in the same tier he was at the beginning of the year, but a date against the New York Jets should turn that around. Deshaun Watson being freed from BOB is a sight to behold.
6) Aaron Rodgers - Green Bay Packers
7) Joe Burrow - Cincinnati Bengals
8) Matt Ryan - Atlanta Falcons
9) Ben Roethlisberger - Pittsburgh Steelers
10) Ryan Tannehill - Tennessee Titans
Aaron Rodgers is going to have to cook with Jones being sidelined. Joe Burrow is also expected to shoulder more of the offense with Joe Mixon being out. Ryan Tannehill is playing great, can he keep it up against Pittsburgh?
11) Cam Newton - New England Patriots
12) Justin Herbert - Los Angeles Chargers
13) Andy Dalton - Dallas Cowboys
14) Tom Brady - TOMpa Bay Buccaneers
15) Baker Mayfield - Cleveland Browns
Runningback Rankings
1) Alvin Kamara - New Orleans Saints
2) Ezekiel Elliott - Dallas Cowboys
3) Derrick Henry - Tennessee Titans
4) Kareem Hunt - Cleveland Browns
5) Mike Davis - Carolina Panthers
Michael Thomas out again, do I need to explain why he's number one? Albeit a fumbling problem, the Dallas offense will still run through Zeke. Am I crazy for putting Mike Davis top 5? Maybe, but they don't call me PsychoBo for nothing. Let's get spicy.
6) Chris Carson - Seattle Seahawks
7) James Conner - Pittsburgh Steelers
8) Todd Gurley - Atlanta Falcons
9) David Montgomery - Chicago Bears
10) Josh Jacobs - Las Vegas Rams
Chris Carson is putting together a great season and will continue to impress. James Conner is doing more than anyone expected. Volume is great for our next 3 guys, especially David Montgomery.
11) Ronald Jones - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
12) James Robinson - Jacksonville Jaguars
13) Jerrick McKinnon - San Francisco 49ers
14) Antonio Gibson - Washington Football Team
15) David Johnson - Houston Texans
16) Clyde Edwards-Helaire - Kansas City Chiefs
17) Devin Singletary - Buffalo Bills
18) Kenyan Drake - Arizona Cardinals
19) Darrell Henderson - Los Angeles Rams
20) Melvin Gordon - Denver Broncos
21) James White - New England Patriots
22) J.D. McKissic - Washington Football Team
23) Deandre Swift - Detroit Lions
24) Justin Jackson - Los Angeles Chargers
Wide Reciever Rankings
1) Davante Adams - Green Bay Packers
2) Deandre Hopkins - Arizona Cardinals
3) Julio Jones - Atlanta Falcons
4) D.K. Metcalf - Seattle Seahawks
5) Calvin Ridley - Atlanta Falcons
Davante Adams owners, rejoice! Adams takes the top spot and becomes the #1 option for Aaron Rodgers as Aaron Jones is out. Julio looks great again, and D.K. is baby Megatron.
6) Tyler Lockett - Seattle Seahawks
7) Terry Mclaurin - Washington Football Team
8) Stefon Diggs - Buffalo Bills
9) Allen Robinson - Chicago Bears
10) Keenan Allen - San Diego Chargers
Lockett figures to be involved again in this high powered offense. Terry is my absolute favorite WR, despite poor QB play he is looking terrific. Can we get this bad man a quarterback? Speaking of poor QB play, Allen Robinson has consistently produced despite less than stellar play.
11) Kenny Golladay - Detroit Lions
12) Amari Cooper - Dallas Cowboys
13) Cooper Kupp - Los Angeles Rams
14) A.J. Brown - Tennesee Titans
15) Tyreek Hill - Kansas City Chiefs
16) Will Fuller - Houston Texans
17) Robert Woods - Los Angeles Rams
18) Chris Godwin - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
19) Robby Anderson - Carolina Panthers
20) Mike Evans - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
21) D.J. Moore - Carolina Panthers
22) Chase Claypool - Pittsburgh Steelers
23) Odell Beckham Jr. - Cleveland Browns
24) D.J. Chark - Jacksonville Jaguars
Tight End Rankings
I am going to be honest, outside of Waller, Kittle, and Kelce, I have zero clue how to rank the tight ends. It's a crapshoot to me of who will score and who will not score. So this is my best attempt to do just that. Predict the unpredictable.
1) Travis Kelce - Kansas City Chiefs
2) George Kittle - San Francisco 49ers
3) T.J. Hockenson - Detroit Lions
4) Darren Waller - Las Vegas Raiders
5) Hunter Henry - San Diego Chargers
6) Jonnu Smith - Tennessee Titans
7) Noah Fant - Denver Broncos
8) Jared Cook - New Orleans Saints
9) Hayden Hurst - Atlanta Falcons
10) Eric Ebron - Pittsburgh Steelers
11) Rob Gronkowski - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
12) Robert Tonyan - Green Bay Packers
13) Dalton Schultz - Dallas Cowboys
14) Logan Thomas - Washington Football Team
15) Darren Fells - Houston Texans
