Quarterbacks
Brock Purdy rises to the No. 2 spot after consistent output, stepping ahead of Jalen Hurts who falls outside the top 10. Bryce Young enters that group while Kirk Cousins reaches QB2 territory and passes Justin Herbert, who has averaged 10.9 points per game. The move for Purdy also accounts for the expected absence of another top option.
Running Backs
Kenneth Walker III drops to the No. 3 ranking after early-season results no longer dominate the picture. Chuba Hubbard climbs near RB1 status and Bhayshul Tuten reaches RB2, moving past Omarion Hampton. Injuries prompt declines for Travis Etienne Jr. and Jadarian Price, allowing Alvin Kamara and Emanuel Wilson to gain ground.
Wide Receivers and Tight Ends
CeeDee Lamb takes the No. 2 spot after leading the league in receiving yards, aided by Ja'Marr Chase being compromised. Nico Collins and Tetairoa McMillan also move higher while DeVonta Smith, Rashee Rice and Ladd McConkey drop. At tight end, Brock Bowers claims the top ranking with 20 fantasy points in each of his two games and 25 targets. George Kittle advances to No. 3 after four touchdowns in the past three games. Other options posted disappointing Week 4 numbers yet remain in place due to limited depth.
