allowing you to land either Jahmyr Gibbs or Bijan Robinson, who should be the two best players in fantasy football this season

It's easy to identify the top tier of tight ends in fantasy football this season: Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren, Kyle Pitts, Tucker Kraft

RK TIERS PLAYER NAME TEAM POS ... 12 2 Drake London ATL WR7 ... 99 6 Brock Purdy SF QB11

you look at Josh Allen far and away the number one... Drake May... which is why Lamar Jackson falls to third for me... Caleb Williams at number four... Dak Prescott... just outside the top five, Joe Burrows... Bo Nix comes in at seven for me. Eight is Lawrence because of the legs, Nine Herbert... and then Jalen Hurts rounds out the top ten. / I had him [Mahomes] just outside the top ten / he's right behind Mahomes for me... he's at twelve [Stafford] / He comes in at fourteen [Goff]. The guy that's slid in in between there for me is Baker Mayfield

I'd draft him ahead of Stevenson and hope for an expanded role as the season progresses.

I would take Brooks ahead of Hubbard, despite him being a mystery box pick.

He's the back to roster of the three, but I'm not reaching to grab him.

if I draw either the 1.01 or 1.02 spot, I'm drafting Bijan Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs... I slightly prefer Bijan... Picks 1.03, 1.04, and 1.05 are where the Big Three at wide receiver dwell: Ja'Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, and Jaxson Smith-Njigba. Those three are my third, fourth, and fifth picks in start-3WR leagues.

I'm ranking Gadsden TE25 and consider him undraftable in all but the deepest of leagues.

Singleton, the only one of Tennessee's top three RBs under contract beyond 2026, checks in at RB59.

I have Concepcion ranked WR48, Boston WR53, and Jeudy WR62.

Likely remains at TE11 in my rankings, but I'm considering moving him down

I'm trying to keep an open mind on Stribling and have moved him up to WR59.

I now have Golden (WR50) ranked just ahead of Reed (WR51).
