It's the center of October, which implies it's time to launch the Shuffle Up collection. What has occurred up to now is simply an audition. The ranks and tiers you discover under are what I might use if I entered a brand new fantasy soccer draft beginning now (and sure, there may be nonetheless time to create one other Yahoo Fantasy Soccer league) .
Salaries are unscientific and meant to be a instrument to indicate the place expertise clusters. Gamers with the identical wage are thought-about equal. Keep in mind the golden rule: no participant positive factors (or loses) further worth simply since you register them.
Gamers who’re presently injured get their very own provisional rank on the backside. I'm not up for debate. Everybody has their very own concepts about accidents and comebacks.
The general shuffle was already within the content material funds to start with, however it turns into extra well timed with the Davante Adams and Amari Cooper trades this week. Fantasy managers need to be enthusiastic about these trades, as Adams and Cooper had been mired in can't-win offenses per week in the past. The Raiders don't have a professional quarterback, clearly. The Browns are caught with Deshaun Watson's horrendous contract.
Adams shouldn't have a tough integration in New York given his familiarity with Aaron Rodgers. I believe Garrett Wilson is a prime WR2 ahead and Adams is extra of a center WR2 however will be began each wholesome week. Cooper should rise up to hurry with Buffalo's offense, however given how mediocre the general recreation has been, the Payments have each incentive to get their latest participant on top of things. It additionally needs to be acknowledged that Cooper was traded halfway by way of the 2018 season and shortly elevated his manufacturing in Dallas. The shuffle has Cooper on the WR2/WR3 line for now.
Tier 1: The Huge Tickets

$43 Justin Jefferson

$41 CeeDee Lamb

$40 Amon-Ra St. Brown
-
$38 Malik Nabers

$34 Deebo Samuel Sr.
-
$34 Chris Godwin
-
$33 Mike Evans
-
$32 Jayden Reed
-
$31 Drake London
-
$31 DK Metcalf
Life is nice for Chase managers, however it nonetheless seems like slightly meat has been left on the bone. In spite of everything, Chase is the WR1 in all scoring codecs, however he's solely tied for 20th in broad receivers (and the Bengals haven't had their bye but). Joe Burrow has a 138.5 score when focusing on Chase, for crying out loud. Push the simple button, Cincinnati.
It was round this time final yr (proper after the bye) that the Cowboys trashed their recreation plan and principally began throwing to Lamb at an absurd fee. He had 9 or extra targets in every of his final 11 begins, compiling a foolish 88-1186-9 streak in that span. Effectively, right here we’re once more – a bye week from Dallas coming off one more embarrassing residence loss. Lamb has had a sluggish push after his disappointing summer time, however I count on him to feast the remainder of the best way.
Do the Packers have too many good gamers? Jayden Reed has reached 10 targets simply as soon as and managed a modest 34 seems by way of six begins this yr. That being stated, the Matt LaFleur scheme all the time makes use of Reed liberally in scoring zones and he additionally will get one or two reps per recreation. He's principally Inexperienced Bay's model of Deebo Samuel. Characteristic or bug? I'd like to consider it as a function.
Godwin deserves slight choice over Evans as a result of a transfer again to the slot boosted his manufacturing. Typically these routes are simpler to win and the throws are quicker and extra outlined. Godwin has all the time supplied the upside, however he's additionally constructing a strong flooring with 5 catches or extra each recreation. The schedule will get more durable, however Baker Mayfield has performed properly and Tampa Bay's passing recreation has a slender focus.

Smith will all the time play Robin to Brown's Batman, however Jalen Hurts isn't getting as a lot work on the objective line this yr, and the Philadelphia passing recreation solely has these two major choices; TE Dallas Goedert is inconsistent (and battling a hamstring damage) and the remainder of the receiving room is shockingly skinny. Smith could by no means be a real WR1, however he's as straightforward a weekly WR2 punch as you'll discover.
The Steelers have discovered a solution to win 4 video games with Justin Fields, despite the fact that he's solely throwing for 184 yards per recreation and making some critical errors every week; an terrible week 6 choose was overturned by a questionable private name. Pickens is a mercurial man and calling up Arthur Smith is supposed to spice up us, however Pickens wins so constantly on deep routes and is a kind of gamers that may make your week with only one play regardless of who’s at QB . I can not surrender the theoretical a part of it.
Johnson's rank is, after all, a hedge; he might be on the stage above if Andy Dalton was locked in to begin your entire season, however issues might disintegrate shortly if (and when) Bryce Younger returns; in some unspecified time in the future, the unopposed Panthers doubtless need to attempt Younger once more. Johnson has been outdoors the highest 70 — simply absurd — for Younger's two begins this yr, utilizing the half-point PPR rating. Since then, he's made the grade fairly properly: WR6, WR9, WR60, WR12.

Robinson is just averaging four.eight yards per goal regardless of a strong 63.eight% catch fee, which reveals you ways horizontal New York's passing recreation is. The important thing to Robinson's roster is having a league with a PPR or half-PPR part; has 5 or extra catches in 5 begins, however can be round 40-60 yards most weeks – a helpful depth piece, albeit a participant with a cap hit.
Ridley posted a historical bagel last weekheadless on eight events. It's a standard failure as a result of he's had an issue with drops, however Will Levis' passes are so typically astray. Neatest thing I can say about Ridley proper now – I'd fairly draft him than DeAndre Hopkins.
JuJu Smith-Schuster's tag didn't go up per week in the past as a result of the Chiefs had been on the bye, maybe a mistake by the fantasy crowd. He's able to being Rashee Rice-light, and Kansas Metropolis's recreation plan labored additional time in Week 5, discovering straightforward routes for JuJu to win. He’s the odds-on favourite to be the crew's most focused participant till additional discover.
Mooney has a giant goal and a rush share in an offense that’s terribly centered, and Kirk Cousins has utterly shaken off the rust. Mooney caught with a cap hit given his teammates, however his flooring is increased than the market would possibly admit.

$7 Alec Pierce
Pierce leads all receivers in receiving yards, however Michael Pittman Jr. is again, as is Anthony Richardson. The Colts are doing the correct factor with Richardson — you must develop your franchise future — however everybody on this receiving room is far simpler to begin with Joe Flacco underneath heart, who has very quietly had double-digit landing passes in his final eight . video games (20 over that stretch).
Jeudy is now the presumptive #1 in Cleveland, however so long as the Deshaun Watson present is on, do we actually care? Ping me if and after they ever attempt a brand new quarterback. It might take an damage or public blowout earlier than the Browns are totally motivated to make a change.
Shakir has all the time been a solid-floor, low-ball sort of participant, and now Cooper is on the town to be the featured goal. He was a WR3 at his peak, however is nearer to WR5 worth now.
Douglas has turn into a quiet supply of quantity in New England, and Drake Maye's debut has had extra good moments than unhealthy. Perhaps he could be a poor man's model of New England's Wan'Dale Robinson.

I nonetheless count on Lazard to take care of fantasy worth even with the brand new crowd in that Jets receiving room. He scored in 4 completely different weeks and has about as a lot Rodgers time as Adams. Mike Williams seems like an odd man.
Means was helpful in Spencer Rattler's first begin, and now New Orleans' two major receivers are injured. Means received't sneak up on any protection once more, however he's primed to steer this crew in goal share for per week or two. As all the time, we need to watch the doubtless quantity.
Contingent worth picks are often centered round working backs, however Jennings takes on that theme as properly, a participant I might confidently begin if one thing had been to occur to Samuel or Aiyuk.
If Whittington had sufficient targets to qualify, he would prime the record in go completion fee amongst broad receivers, in accordance with Professional Soccer Reference. He's a go-to streamer till the Rams get their major choices again.
