jhen surges to the top, ssbradley40 and Trotter0 crater
By Rex Powers · 12d ago
This column ranks the lineup you can actually trot out Sunday, not the guys stashed on your bench. Depth is nice. It doesn't play.
jhen is the team to beat, up five spots on the strength of Bijan Robinson and Josh Allen — an elite RB-QB combo nobody else in the league can match — with Christian Watson's stock climbing behind them. CapitanKampana still has two elite backs, Kenneth Walker and Jonathan Taylor, but slid a spot anyway, proof that even Will's usual waiver-wire magic can only carry a lineup so far. vaniano dropped one, with Jalen Hurts' value sliding — the latest data point for a manager whose seasons have made "Beat Labarge!" more prayer than plan.
The biggest swings belong to the middle tier. PatBerry jumped five spots on James Cook and an elite Brock Bowers, a rise the commissioner will surely find some way to trade away. Scarpg also climbed five, powered by Amon-Ra St. Brown, continuing Ryan's habit of quietly outperforming the noise around him. cplabarge slipped two despite Ja'Marr Chase, more heartbreak for a manager who's made a career of the near miss.
At the bottom, ssbradley40 fell seven spots — Christian McCaffrey and Trey McBride are elite, but two studs don't make a lineup. Trotter0 dropped the same seven, Puka Nacua and all. DamnBrit held steady at no change, which in this tier counts as stability.
