    #TomBrady looking like he’s going to dominate the fantasy landscape once again #LaGaretteBlount - how long will his fantasy stock last with Brady back? Maybe #JoeHogan will step into the void, along with #JamesWhite #MinnesotaVikings’ defense and #SamBradford looking solid. Plus #KyleRudolf has come to life. #CodyKessler in CLE - made the most of his opportunity … until he was injured #DakPrescott DAL - playing at a very high level — but will his run be cut short by the return of the oft-injured #TonyRomo? What the heck is #JerryJones doing making public announcements about who’ll be at QB? #Atlanta exposes #Denver — #TevinColeman and #DevontaeFreeman killing it. #MattRyan - cool as ice. #PaxtonLynch goes down the tubes. CHUMPZ Injuries have been brutal this season — what now?! Let’s talk about CHUMPS aka major disappointments so far this year: #Giants and especially #EliManning — appear to be headed nowhere. Great job, Ben McAdoo #CarolinaPanthers’ rough start - Don’t worry, #CamNewton is still a rock solid start, as is #KelvinBenjamin. And for the moment, #CameronArtisPayne Houston #Texans - headed south. Bummer for all #DeandreHopkins owners. Looks like #Osweiller has been a step backwards from #Hoyer in Texas. #CJAnderson DEN - spiraling down WAIVER WIRE BUMPS #JordanHoward CHI - Making big waves stepping in for #JeremyLangford. #ByrabHoyer also in CHI #ColeBeasley in DAL - grab him is you can #JeremyKerley SF - WR target for you thirsty GMs Could #ColinKaepernick’s skill set be the perfect match for Chip Kelly’s offense? Consider #CameronArtis-Payne for a stop-gap short term help. #CharlesClay BUF - Sneaky TE pick has potential upside in a spotty TE landscape. CAN’T LET IT GO - The Agony of Amazing Opponents (Wade) - #Pussygate (Rick)
