Conclusion

Travis Kelce is back on top of the TE production for Fantasy Football, and it feels like the universe is back in order. Most of the TEs chosen high in Fantasy Football drafts ended up having good weeks, except for Dalton Kincaid, who left early with an injury. Ja’Marr Chase hit a high level that needed its designation this week! Only one other 20-plus point effort was made by a WR likely to be in the starting lineups last week. Only 7 of the top 18 at WR were players that were sure to be in lineups in most leagues. 

It was also a lean week at the RB position, with only four RBIs over 20 PPR points. Of those top scorers, only Bijan Robinson was selected in the top 15 at RB. Production at QB lived up to form with the top 3 QBs this week, including all players selected in the Top 7 this year in Fantasy Football drafts. Baker Mayfield and Jayden Daniels had their worst games of the season.
