SUNDAY MORNING RANKINGS, who's in/out, and an exciting roadmap.

Good morning ladies and degenerates. It’s Sunday. The day has arrived. Time for you to leave your opponents in the dust and prove you’re the superior human. A brief Huddle:

SUNDAY MORNING RANKINGS

The Commish came thru for everyone this week with his customized rankings.

• Click here to see our Week 6 tiered rankings for every relevant position.

• Taylor Heinicke (QB 10) - Our sleeper play of the week. A boom/bust play vs the weak Chiefs D in a game that oddsmakers expect to be a shootout (56.5 over/under), Heinicke will have plenty of chances to rack up fantasy points.

• J.D. McKissic (RB28) - Continuing to attack the Chiefs defense, our sleeper play at RB is J.D Mckissic. I see the Football team getting down early in this game, leading to more opportunity for McKissic’s passing game role. Nice floor with his receptions & expect 5+ catches.

• A.J. Brown (WR13) & Julio Jones (WR25) - They have had slow starts but both are healthy & got in a full week of practice. The Titans will be forced to throw to keep up with the Bills. 

Who’s in/Questionable

Jeremy Fowler @JFowlerESPN

Chargers WR Mike Williams, listed as questionable with a knee injury, is expected to play barring a pregame setback, per source. NFL leader with six touchdown catches should be in fold for Ravens game.

Despite missing practice all week, Big Mike Williams was ruled IN. At this point, you have to fire him up. Others:

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

Players expected to play Sunday include Tua Tagovailoa, Joe Mixon, Joe Burrow, Ezekiel Elliott, DeAndre Hopkins and D.K. Metcalf.

Who’s out

Rashod Bateman makes his debut at an opportune time with Sammy Watkins out.

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

The next few weeks will be very, very fun

I’m so grateful for all your support and feedback. We’ve read every single response to the survey last week - amazing suggestions & we’re implementing most of them. Since we’ve added sponsors, it’s allowed us to do so much more with the Huddle. Here’s a roadmap for what’s coming:

• Weekly Sunday Rankings to help with start/sit decisions (Today)

• Rest of Season Rankings to help with trade decisions (Tuesday)

• Sunday morning Q&A on a new Twitter account dedicated to your personal start/sit/pickup/drop decisions (next Sunday)

• Morning Huddle Pick-Em: We want to share the sponsorship money with you, so let’s have some with it. The next Saturday morning edition will feature a poll with 4 game-picks (Ravens vs Chargers, Chiefs v Titans, etc.); we’ll place $100 bets according to whatever 4 teams have the most votes and parlay the bet for even more $. At the end of the season, all the winnings will be used for giveaways (or just given away as cash).

• Giveaways to help grow the newsletter - we’re looking at a referral program to give you $75 championship rings & custom plaques for your leagues

• What else should we do?

So excited for what’s to come and grateful for the support. As always, we remain open to any suggestions:
