    Derrick Brown to finish top 10 at his position, by an unstated measure

    Jeremiyah Love to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points

    he still finished sixth among backs in touches and 11th in fantasy points. He was the worst finisher among the aforementioned nine backs, and odds are Love will be better.

    Bijan Robinson to finish top 1 at his position, by rushing yards

    Given Bijan's ability to do more while surrounded by a less talented squad, he just barely edges out Jahmyr as the NFL's best running back right now.
