Kenneth Walker is surging while Omarion Hampton is cratering, and both facts matter

Joe's rebuild keeps paying off. Kenneth Walker, an elite RB on jgianares's roster, is surging, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, also his, is climbing fast. That's two cornerstone players trending the right direction for a team that just went 11-3. The ground-up build Joe likes to talk about is showing up in the trade market, too.

Thomas isn't as lucky. Omarion Hampton, his weekly RB starter, is cratering — the single biggest drop on this list. For a manager whose team names lean into the bit (currently "Jerry Jones"), this one isn't a joke.

QBs are all over the board. Brock Purdy is surging for Will, a nice change of pace for a manager whose quarterback room is usually referred to as cursed. Bryce Young is surging for Charles, somewhat beside the point for a team that's openly tanking. But elsewhere the position is bleeding value: Drake Maye is cratering for Hannah, Justin Herbert is cratering for Sam, and Jayden Daniels is cratering for Ryan. Three weekly or elite starters, three managers watching their QB outlook sour at once.

Sam's week is rough across the board — Herbert cratering alongside De'Von Achane, his starting RB, also cratering. Zay Flowers surging is the one bright spot keeping his roster from a clean sweep of bad news.

Colston Loveland cratering is a quiet problem for Pat's wife, in her words a perma-rebuilder who can't catch a break even in the players she's stocked for later.
