Bye-mageddon Part II wasn’t much fun for fantasy managers, especially those who leaned on some big-name runners. Leonard Fournette, Dalvin Cook, Nick Chubb, D’Andre Swift and Saquon Barkley were all outscored by Marlon Mack, Raheem Blackshear and Justin Jackson. That’s just gross. What’s more, the top scorer at the position (see below) was rostered in just 62% and started in 44% of Yahoo leagues.
On the bright side, we did see 10 quarterbacks score 19 or more points, including the NFL’s newest sweetheart, Brock Purdy, who had 21.7 and scored more points than all but five quarterbacks going into Sunday night.
