• Raheem Mostert is a must-start: While De’Von Achane got plenty of praise as a waiver target, Mostert also scored four touchdowns and has become an obvious player to start until the Miami Dolphins give us reason not to start him.
• Most accurate rankings: Nathan Jahnke’s fantasy rankings have been the most accurate in season rankings over the last 70 regular season weeks, per FantasyPros‘ rankings accuracy competition.
• Other ranking formats available: Our weekly rankings landing page includes rankings in other league formats, flex rankings and IDP rankings.
