Nick Mollahan, Staff Writer

Seeking updated fantasy football cheat sheet? You have come to the right spot for your points-per-reception (PPR), non-PPR, and dynasty leagues.

Top Ten PPR running backs-

  1. Christian McCaffery, Carolina Panthers         2. Saquon Barkley, New York Giants
  2. Ezekiel Elliot, Dallas Cowboys         4. Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints
  3. Dalvin Cook, Minnesota Vikings         6. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Kansas City Chiefs
  4. Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans         8. Miles Sanders, Philadelphia Eagles
  5. Nick Chubb ,Cleveland Browns         10. Josh Jacobs, Las Vegas Raiders

 

Coming in at number six in the top ten fantasy running backs is Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He is an outstanding rookie out of Louisiana State University. Andy Reid, coach of the Kansas City Chiefs and 2019 Super Bowl Champions is very excited to have him fit into their already dynamic offense. “Clyde is wired to play and has a great deal of maturity as a rookie,” Reid said. 

 

Top Ten PPR wide receivers-

  1. Micheal Thomas, New Orleans Saints     2. Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons
  2. Devante Adams, Green Bay Packers     4. DeAndre Hopkins, Arizona Cardinals
  3. Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers     6. Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs
  4. DJ Moore, Carolina Panthers     8. Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  5. Kenny Golladay, Detroit Lions               10. Robert Woods, Las Angeles Chargers

 

DeAndre Hopkins recently traded to the Arizona Cardinals from the Houston Texans will be their number one wide receiver on the team. He has a speedy 4.57 40 yard dash with a dazzling vertical of 36 inches. Kyler Murray, the elusive second-year quarterback shows some serious potential for getting the balls into Hopkins’ hands.

 

Top Ten Quarterbacks-

  1. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs 2. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens
  2. Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals 4. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
  3. Deshaun Watson, Houston Texans 6. Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks
  4. Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons 8. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
  5. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills           10. Daniel Jones, New York Giants

 

Lamar Jackson is easily one of the top quarterbacks for fantasy this year. With his running and throwing skills, he should be getting more points than a usual quarterback, who runs like him. But, the reason he falls behind Patrick Mahomes this year is that he will not be running as much this year, at less risk of an injury as a QB. Mahomes has an offense with a possible top ten running back, tight end, running back, and quarterback this upcoming season. I asked my friends about what quarterbacks they wanted, “I had Patrick Mahomes last year and I would gladly take him early in the draft again this year,” senior Ryan Schwarz said. 

 

Top Ten PPR Tight Ends-

1.Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs         2.George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers

  1. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens       4.Darren Waller, Las Vegas Raiders
  2. Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles       6.Evan Engram, New York Giants
  3. Hayden Hurst, Atlanta Falcons       8. Austin Hooper, Cleveland Browns
  4. Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams     10. Hunter Henry, San Diego Chargers

 

At number seven on the list is Hayden Hurst, who will be the starting tight end for this year’s Atlanta Falcons. He was recently drafted in 2018 to the Baltimore Ravens but didn’t get too much playing time due to Mark Andrews. Next year, this young man has some great potential for a new start on the Falcons, now that Austin Hooper has been traded. Darren Waller is also a young tight end for the Las Vegas Raiders who was ranked fifth in all of fantasy football last year and is expected to only get better from here on out.
