Fantasy Football fans, let me ask you an important question: How’s your Achilles tendon doing? Is it ok? Hope so. Because that crucial connective tissue down in the ankle seemed to be popping left and right during Week 1 of the NFL season. JK Dobbins is out for the year on a torn Achilles. Aaron Rodgers played four snaps and is out for the year when he tore his Achilles.
There were some bright spots, though. Like Puka Nacua, who took advantage of Cooper Kupp’s absence in the Rams offense, catching 10 passes on 15 targets for 119 yards. Kupp’s out a while longer, but I’m wondering if Puka will have value even after the superstar returns. It should go without saying, but if Puka Nacua is somehow still available in any of your leagues after this week’s waiver runs, you better go get him.
He should be owned everywhere and started just about everywhere this week, too. Alright, on to the rankings.
