So, let’s take a look at who’s moving up and down the fantasy rankings among running backs, wide receivers and tight ends. MORE: Week 1 fantasy football rankings: QB | RB | WR | TE | DEF | K Fantasy football WR rankings, Week 1 Up: Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals. If Michael Floyd (hand) is out or limited, Fitz gets a boost in our rankings. And don’t forget about John Brown, who could move up to WR2 territory....

There is still a lot to be sorted out, at least from a legal standpoint, but Elliott is one step closer to sitting out. For Elliott owners, it might actually be better for him to immediately start sitting so he’s eligible to play when teams are in the fantasy playoffs.

But that’s how fantasy football works, and even though we acknowledge that there’s still a lot we don’t know about defenses or how often players are going to be targeted, there are a few things we can reasonably assume. We’re still a little leery of receivers against the Seahawks and Broncos, and we’re perhaps a little overeager to have receivers against the Saints and Eagles. Last year’s numbers only mean so much, but, in many cases, they’re still at least a partial indicator of how defenses will fare this season....

Next week is one of the toughest we’ve had all season for the top D/STs, and there are plenty of potential streaming units on our full waiver list. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for TE, which only features a couple of realistic sleeper options. For the most part, this waivers/free agency period is all about RB handcuffs, so in addition to the guys who shined this week, it doesn’t hurt to grab some backups playing behind injury-prone starters (Chris Ivory/T....

But it's not all bad. I mean, it's kind of bad for some, but it's not all bad. The obvious question: If the fantasy season ended three hours after the first pitch on opening day, who would be the MVPs, biggest steals and biggest busts of the season? Let's dig in.

It’s that kind of stuff that makes fantasy football so magical, so pure. And it’s that kind of stuff we talk about on this week’s Sporting News Fantasy Football Podcast (subscribe on iTunes). Segments include: Week 6 Rankings We look at Fantasy Source’s rankings and identify one guy at each position who we think is too high or too low. How do you feel this week about Eli Manning (“Too high!...

That solid debut, coupled with head coach Bruce Arians’ assertions that Ellington will be the team’s featured runner – whether hyperbolic or not – has sent the second-year back’s stock soaring. Arians indicated that Ellington will be his No. 1 back in 2014, and even generated some laughter by suggesting that he expects the 5-9, 199-pound Ellington to receive 25-30 touches per game. That’s silly, but Ellington’s build isn’t much different from guys like Jamaal Charles and Chris Johnson, so the idea of him being able to handle somewhere in the neighborhood of 18-20 touches per game isn’t ridiculous....

On top of all the usage trends, performance evaluations, and matchup data that’s required for making smart lineup decisions, we also have to take into account injuries. Plenty of key players are shaping up to be “questionable” ahead of the weekend, including David Montgomery (ankle), Dalvin Cook (shoulder), Keenan Allen (hamstring), Chris Godwin (hamstring), Julio Jones (knee), Dalton Schultz (knee), Michael Thomas (toe), and plenty of others we probably don’t even know about yet....

Let’s dive deeper into which players you should consider buying low and which ones you should consider selling high as we head into the final weeks of the fantasy football regular season and make that playoff push.
