I understand Thursday Night Football has already started, so obviously nobody from the Raiders or 49ers are gonna be on here. That’s fine by me though, seeing as this game is seeming like it won’t yield much fantasy value for anybody except, surprisingly, Nick Mullens. I’ve decided to do something a little different this week since I missed the Thursday game, and instead I’m only gonna do Sunday’s games. I might do a Monday Night Football Captain Showdown guide on Monday, but let’s wait and see. Anyway, let’s get into my power rankings

Nothing too fancy about what I did here this week. The usual stars have been blessed with good matchups and should continue to flourish, and a lot of the sleepers or as boom or bust as you can get. There are a shitload of injuries in the NFL at this moment, so keep in mind I made this guide basically avoiding anybody that’s questionable. Keep that in mind when making your lineups. Well that’s all for now. Good luck come Sunday.
