The top risers and fallers heading into Week 7.
On most draft days, there wasn’t a lot of love for the NFC North. Jordan Love was the only QB1 (maybe) in a 10-team league. Jahmyr Gibbs was probably the only RB1. Justin Jefferson and Amon-Ra St. Brown were the only WR1s.
Flash forward two months. Perhaps no division in recent memory has had as many players drafted as part-time starters or backups force their way into weekly lineups.
All four QBs are putting up starter numbers. Five running backs are lineup fixtures. A case can be made for 10 wide receivers and four tight ends when T.J. Hockenson comes back are in lineups. It’s a good time to have players from the 17-5 NFC North. Let’s see if we can identify a few others who are climbing into this tier of fantasy worth.

Nick Chubb will reportedly be back in Week 7.
The Cleveland Browns may finally catch a break this season with the return of elite running back Nick Chubb.
After Chubb suffered a severe knee injury last September that ended his season, Cleveland.com reporter Mary Kay Cabot shared on Saturday night that he is expected to return to the field in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Chubb finally returning to the football field after more than a year away is a huge win for NFL fans who love watching the running back play on Sundays.
It’s also a huge win for fantasy managers who stashed him on their rosters for when he would return this season.
While the Browns have been downright bad on offense this year, getting Chubb back should help steady the run game if he can return to form. The passing game probably isn’t going anywhere any time soon with quarterback Deshaun Watson throwing the ball.
Chubb was always an outstanding fantasy option to start at running back, and he’ll at worst be a solid starter once more for Cleveland and any fantasy teams unless the injury hampered his explosiveness.
His return should help the Browns find more of a spark on offense and should help your fantasy team look even more intimidating than it already did.

The top risers and fallers heading into Week 6.
After four weeks of defense-dominated, low-scoring fantasy weeks, we finally enjoyed a taste in Week 5 of what offensive points look like, especially for quarterbacks and tight ends.
Of the 13 games from Thursday to Sunday, nine teams scored 30 or more points – three games included both teams scoring 30-plus. Tight ends came alive, too, posting a season-best 15 touchdowns and making a statement for the league’s most stagnant fantasy position.
Let’s hope it’s the start of more to come.

The top risers and fallers heading into Week 5.
Through four weeks of the regular season, the percentage of points being scored by field goals is the highest it been since 1993. If you’ve noticed that quarterbacks, for the most part, aren’t throwing TDs like you’re accustomed to seeing.
The NFL has a way of self-correcting anomalies as a season goes on, but — for now — with all the long-bomb field goals being made, the right kicker may be one of the most valuable players on your roster.

The top risers and fallers heading into Week 4.
The rookie crop of high-end quarterbacks hasn’t lived up to the sky-high expectations placed on guys like Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix – all Week 1 starters. Daniels has been the only one of the three who has earned being a fantasy football starter with his explosive play.
Immediate stardom – in the NFL and the fantasy world – has proved elusive. Many high-end picks eventually become stars, but more don’t.
Week 3 was a reminder that blue-chip wide receivers make a quicker and more explosive transformation to the pros. For the Big 3 – Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers and Rome Odunze – Week 1 was no great shakes. Since then?
Over the last two games, Harrison has caught nine passes for 194 yards and three touchdowns. Nabers has caught 18 passes for 205 yards and three TDs. Odunze has caught eight passes for 145 yards and one TD. It goes to show once again, if you’re going make a significant fantasy draft investment in a prize rookie, wide receivers are the best bet to provide a quick return on investment.
