Fantasy football rest of season rankings: 2020 finale

Check out the final release of our season-long fantasy football rankings.

NOTE: These player rankings track a player’s value for the remainder of the season and are intended to be used as a tool, not necessarily a definitive guide to player valuation. The scoring system is performance PPR.

There is no exact science behind season-long rankings, considering all of the variables and situational uncertainties at work.

Fantasy football rest of season rankings

Quarterbacks
Rk	Never leaves lineup	Bye	Movement	Notes
1	Patrick Mahomes, KC	10
2	Kyler Murray, ARI	8		the three TD passes were nice, but where is the running!?!??!
Rk	Lineup regulars	Bye
3	Justin Herbert, LAC	6		even in a down year, Belichick can still teach young QBs a lesson or three
4	Aaron Rodgers, GB	5
5	Josh Allen, BUF	11	6
6	Russell Wilson, SEA	6		has accounted for one TD or less in three of his last four games
7	Deshaun Watson, HOU	8	9	turnovers aside, I liked what Watson showed in Wk 13
8	Ben Roethlisberger, PIT	8
9	Tom Brady, TB	13
10	Lamar Jackson, BAL	7		missed Wk 12 due to COVID but is in line to play Tuesday
11	Matthew Stafford, DET	5	12	Stafford looked loose & engaged in topping 400 yds w/ 3 TDs vs CHI
12	Matt Ryan, ATL	10
13	Drew Brees, NO	6	15	eligible to return in Wk 14, which is reportedly a real possibility
Rk	Weekly matchup plays	Bye
14	Kirk Cousins, MIN	7		if Cook breaks down, Cousins would become a top-10 option
15	Ryan Tannehill, TEN	4		huge Wk 13 numbers, but you know that’s not what TEN wants to do
16	Jared Goff, LAR	9	17	risky week-to-week play w/ a low floor, decent ceiling
17	Teddy Bridgewater, CAR	13
18	Philip Rivers, IND	7
19	Derek Carr, LVR	6		put up big numbers minus Jacobs, but he’s impossible to rely on
20	Andy Dalton, DAL	10

Pos	Player	Bye	Action	Notes
QB	Carson Wentz, PHI	9	Acquire	he’s been hamstrung by injuries at key positions; players are getting healthier
QB	Matthew Stafford, DET	5	Acquire	perhaps someone will overreact to a bad game after a week w/ no practice & no WR1
QB	Ryan Tannehill, TEN	4	Trade	his numbers continue to trend in the wrong direction
QB	Tua Tagovailoa, MIA	7	Trade	I’m selling high; if you can flip Tua for a steadier hand go for it
RB	Zack Moss, BUF	11	Acquire	when the weather turns BUF is gonna run more & I think Moss will get most of the carries
RB	Darrell Henderson, LAR	9	Acquire	he looks poised to be the clear RB1 for LA over the final eight weeks
RB	J.K. Dobbins, BAL	7	Trade	I’m not convinced Ingram doesn’t get most of the carries down the stretch
RB	Todd Gurley II, ATL	10	Trade	has scored a bunch to inflate his value but his YPC is terrible
WR	Michael Thomas, NO	6	Acquire	maybe you can convince someone that the passing game doesn’t flow through Thomas now
WR	Allen Lazard, GB	5	Acquire	GB played just two games w/ Lazard & Adams; they scored 85 points
WR	Adam Thielen, MIN	7	Acquire	for everything Cook is, he’s not durable; if he’s out the passing game comes back to life
WR	Jarvis Landry, CLE	9	Acquire	he’s gonna be Mayfield’s top target; people just may not realize it yet
WR	Mike Evans, TB	13	Trade	his value is heavily TD dependent & now he must contend w/ Brady faves Gronk & AB
WR	Tyler Lockett, SEA	6	Trade	Metcalf is the steady producer; Lockett’s weekly value is all over the place
WR	Will Fuller, HOU	7	Trade	Fuller averaged 9.3 games played per season in 2017-19; he’s already played in eight
TE	Hunter Henry, LAC	7	Acquire	too much talent between him & Herbert for them not to figure it out
TE	Dallas Goedert, PHI	9	Acquire	his role could be substantial & it’s unclear when Ertz will be back
TE	Rob Gronkowski, TB	13	Trade	lots of alternatives and lots of miles on that body

Fantasy football rest of season rankings: Week 9

Fantasy football rankings to cover the rest of the 2020 season

NOTE: These player rankings track a player’s value for the remainder of the season and are intended to be used as a tool, not necessarily a definitive guide to player valuation.

The scoring system is performance PPR. There is no exact science behind season-long rankings, considering all of the variables and situational uncertainties at work.

WR	Mike Evans, TB	13	Trade	look for Brown’s arrival to affect Evans more than Godwin
WR	DeVante Parker, MIA	7	Trade	MIA’s passing game won’t be the same w/ Tua instead of Fitzpatrick
WR	Robby Anderson, CAR	13	Trade	his numbers have been fading w/ Moore & Samuel rising
TE	Austin Hooper, CLE	9	Acquire	similar to Landry, I expect Hooper to get a lot of looks the rest of the way
TE	Jared Cook, NO	6	Trade	he’s been inconsistent since joining NO; w/ Thomas returning his role could shrink
