Fantasy Football Powerhouses

This season for fantasy football has been insane. There have been some really big disappointments, and some really big hits. And we’ll talk about players from both, so let's do it.

Tyreek Hill. The best player in basically any fantasy football league with any format. He has been bonkers. He leads the NFL with 6 receiving touchdowns, and with his league leading 814 receiving yards is beating 2nd place by 142 receiving yards! He has been the best wide receiver this season and so far the best fantasy player, over every single quarterback and every other position. Tyreek is beating the next best fantasy wide receiver in half PPR leagues by 25.3 fantasy points! He is having the best season of his career and if he keeps it up he will have one of the best wide receiver fantasy football season finishes of all time.

Christian McCaffrey. He is the best running back for fantasy football in the league right now and it is not even close. He is 3rd in fantasy points in half PPR (point per reception) leagues and has even more points in full PPR leagues. The next player even close to him as a running back in fantasy leagues is Raheem Mostert. As of October 20th, he has scored a touchdown for the 49ers in his past 15 games, and he doesn’t show any sign of stopping.

Devon Achane and Raheem Mostert. We decided to put both of them in the same spot because they are both running backs on the stacked Miami Dolphins offense. Let’s start with Devon Achane. He is a rookie and he is still putting up completely wild numbers that rookies should not ever have. In week 3 against the Denver Broncos, Achane had 203 rushing yards for 2 rushing touchdowns on 18 attempts, and 4 receptions for 30 yards and 2 receiving touchdowns. It was the best fantasy game for anyone this season, as in a full PPR format he had over 50 fantasy points! And Raheem Mostert has been just as good. Raheem Mostert is leading the league with 9 rushing touchdowns, and nobody else even has 8. Mostert also has 130 fantasy points in half PPR leagues which is number 5 in points. He also has 11 scrimmage touchdowns (receiving and rushing) touchdowns, when no one else even has 10. This Dolphins duo is insane in rushing and receiving, fantasy or not.

Josh Allen. He’s the best fantasy quarterback in the league right now. In half PPR leagues Allen is number 2 in fantasy points. He is also playing incredibly for the Buffalo Bills, not fantasy related. He is one of the best quarterbacks in the league and could win the MVP. Josh Allen has proved every year that he can be elite in fantasy leagues and is showing that this year.

Travis Etienne Jr. Travis Etienne Jr. is playing incredible and is one of the most lethal receiving backs in the league. He is the number 3 running back in half PPR leagues and in terms of all positions he is number 7, just above Patrick Mahomes. In week 5 Etienne had a season high for him 34.40 fantasy points. If people got him in their fantasy league they got him for incredible value, as everybody knew he’d be good, but we didn’t know he would be this good.
