The Dynasty Aftermath: Top Rushing Performances of All-Time

What can you say? We wondered how it would work with Barkley behind a legit offensive line and he’s cruising.

Fantasy LVP of the Week

What is the deal with Diontae Johnson? It seemed like he was being rescued by the Ravens after they traded for him, but after another performance without a catch (and hardly any playing time), it’s fair to wonder if he would have been better off staying with the lowly Panthers. This has just honestly turned weird.

Gut Checks

I’d be worried if I missed out on Bucky Irving.

I’d be worried if I missed the buying window Nico Collins.

I’d be worried if I was ignoring the consistency of Ladd McConkey.

I’d be worried if I was playing against Saquon Barkley.

I’d be worried if I didn’t cash out on Alvin Kamara. If Taysom Hill is used the way he was two weeks ago, this is trouble.

I’d be worried if I still needed elite numbers from Cade Otton.

I’d be worried if I thought Tyreek Hill didn’t have a big game coming.

I’d be worried if I thought Chuba Hubbard was going away any time soon.

I’d be worried if I needed elite production from Sam LaPorta.

I’d be worried if I was ignoring the recent run from Jaxon Smith-Njigba

I’d be worried if I was doing the same with Jerry Jeudy.

I’d be worried if I was down on Jonathan Taylor.

I’d be worried if I needed big days from Rhamondre Stevenson.

I’d be worried if I thought I knew what to expect from Quentin Johnston.

I’d be worried if I thought Jayden Reed was matchup-proof.

I’d be worried if I missed out on getting Courtland Sutton earlier this year.

I’d be worried if I wasn’t a little disappointed in Kenneth Walker.

I’d be worried if I was relying too much on Kyren Williams. He’s cooled off a lot.

I’d be worried if I had given up on Jordan Addison.

I’d be worried if I was underestimating Trey McBride.

I’d be worried if I needed big numbers every week from D’Andre Swift.

I’d be worried if I wasn’t starting Jonnu Smith.

I’d be worried if I wasn’t a little down on Jordan Love.

I’d be worried if I didn’t think Calvin Ridley still had something left.

I’d be worried if I was ignoring Devaughn Vele.

I’d be worried if I was still starting Cedric Tillman, regardless of matchup.

I’d be worried if I needed big days from Rome Odunze.

I’d be worried if I needed RB1 numbers from JK Dobbins.

I’d be worried if I had given up on Tua Tagovailoa.

I’d be worried if I was building around CJ Stroud. He’s taken a little step back.

I’d be worried if I needed consistency from Najee Harris.

I’d be worried if I missed the buying window on TJ Hockenson.
