Four games into the NFL season and a lot has changed for fantasy football players.
Thanks to the emergence of some new breakout stars like Patrick Mahomes, Kenny Golladay, and James Conner, the names atop fantasy leaderboards are a bit different than the experts had predicted at the start of the year.
Thankfully, there’s still time to recover from a disappointing draft. Even if you reached for Le’Veon Bell or Rob Gronkowski too early, if you can make the right adjustments to your roster and your outlook of what stars were worth heading into the season, there’s still a path to the fantasy postseason waiting for you.
With the help of FantasyPros, we’ve we gathered the rankings of seven experts from The Athletic, RotoExperts, TheScore, and Yahoo Sports to put together a new consensus ranking based on the first four weeks of NFL action.
These rankings reflect the value players have moving forward for the rest of the season. Take a look and take stock of where your team stands, and what adjustments you might have to make moving forward to win your league.
