Overview

• Consensus rankings and fresh expert mocks place Ja'Marr Chase at No. 1, with early rounds still tilting toward high-volume running backs in PPR and half-PPR formats.
• The NFL’s confirmed six-game suspension for Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is already shifting ADP, and drafts or mocks conducted before the announcement are flagged as outdated for his valuation.
• Backfield updates are moving late-round boards: Dolphins rookie Ollie Gordon II gains early opportunity with De'Von Achane managing a calf issue and Jaylen Wright not expected for Week 1.
• Houston’s situation elevates Nick Chubb as a value flier with Joe Mixon sidelined for at least four games and GM Nick Caserio declining to set a firm timetable beyond a four-week reevaluation.
• Cheat sheets and sleeper spotlights highlight actionable targets such as Washington’s Jacory Croskey-Merritt in a likely committee, Seattle rookie Tory Horton, and undervalued WRs Ricky Pearsall and Keon Coleman.
