- Christian McCaffrey back near the top: The former Panther is a must-start now that he’s been a 49er for a full week despite the poor matchup.
- DeAndre Hopkins returns to fantasy starting lineups: Hopkins’ one game in 2022 was better than any of his games in 2021. The old Hopkins is back.
- Nathan Jahnke’s fantasy rankings have been the most accurate in season rankings over the last four seasons combined, per FantasyPros‘ rankings accuracy competition.

According to FantasyPros, my rankings were fifth-most accurate in 2021, second-most in 2020 and third-most in 2019. I was the only analyst to rank top-five all three seasons, making these the most consistently-accurate rankings of the last four seasons.
