- Start Geno Smith: The Seattle Seahawks QB has played like the best quarterback in the NFL in recent weeks, and a good matchup helps him be a starting fantasy quarterback this week.
- Consider Taysom Hill: The New Orleans Saints offensive weapon moved up significantly in the rankings after his four-touchdown performance and is the best streaming option of the week.
- Nathan Jahnke’s fantasy rankings have been the most accurate in season rankings over the last four seasons combined, per FantasyPros‘ rankings accuracy competition.
