It’s Thanksgiving Week! I’d like to wish all of my friends south of the border a Happy Thanksgiving! As a Canadian, I will forever be jealous of your national holiday stuffed with turkey and football.
This week features a potential Super Bowl match-up between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens. Both of these teams are rolling and it should be interesting to see what happens in this battle. Let’s rank ’em up!
| Quarterbacks | ||
| Rank | Name | Opponent |
| 1 | Patrick Mahomes | vs. Raiders |
| 2 | Lamar Jackson | vs. 49ers |

| 5 | Aaron Rodgers | at Giants |
| 6 | Kyler Murray | vs. Rams |
| 7 | Matt Ryan | vs. Saints |

| 9 | Dak Prescott | vs. Bills |
| 10 | Jameis Winston | at Jaguars |
| 11 | Sam Darnold | at Bengals |

| 21 | Andy Dalton | vs. Jets |
| 22 | Kyle Allen | vs. Redskins |
| 23 | Mitchell Trubisky | at Lions |
| 24 | Jeff Driskel | vs. Bears |
Mahomes returns to the QB1 rank in a smash-spot against the Raiders, a team that he torched for 443 yards and 4 touchdowns in Week 5. The dark horse for QB1 is Darnold, who is rolling right now, with a 7:1 TD:INT ratio over the last three games.
| Running Backs | ||
| Rank | Name | Opponent |
| 1 | Christian McCaffrey | vs. Redskins |
| 2 | Ezekiel Elliott | vs. Bills |

| 33 | Jamaal Williams | at Giants |
| 34 | Benny Snell | vs. Browns |
| 35 | James White | at Texans |
| 36 | Duke Johnson | vs. Patriots |
McCaffrey has destroyed every team this season, so it’s tough to see the hapless Redskins as the team that shuts him down – he remains RB1. The dark horse for RB1 is Bell, who should have his best game season against a terrible Bengals’ run defense.

| 1 | Michael Thomas | at Falcons |

| 45 | Mike Williams | at Broncos |
| 46 | Mecole Hardman | vs. Raiders |
| 47 | Anthony Miller | at Lions |
| 48 | Chris Conley | vs. Buccaneers |
Another week, another 10 catches, 100+ yards and 1 touchdown for Thomas. He’s a locked-in WR1 overall. The dark horse for WR1 is Chark, who should have no issues tearing up the Buccaneers.
| Tight Ends | ||
| Rank | Name | Opponent |
| 1 | Travis Kelce | vs. Raiders |
| 2 | George Kittle | at Ravens |
| 3 | Zach Ertz | at Dolphins |
| 4 | Darren Waller | at Chiefs |
| 5 | Hunter Henry | at Broncos |
| 6 | Jared Cook | at Falcons |
| 7 | Mark Andrews | vs. 49ers |
| 8 | Noah Fant | vs. Chargers |
| 9 | Greg Olsen | vs. Redskins |
| 10 | Jimmy Graham | at Giants |
| 11 | Mike Gesicki | vs. Eagles |
| 12 | Gerald Everett | at Cardinals |
| 13 | Jack Doyle | vs. Titans |
| 14 | Jacob Hollister | vs. Vikings |
| 15 | Ryan Griffin | at Bengals |
| 16 | Kyle Rudolph | at Seahawks |
| 17 | Vance McDonald | at Bengals |
| 18 | Tyler Eifert | vs. Jets |
| 19 | Dawson Knox | at Cowboys |
| 20 | Cameron Brate | at Jaguars |
| 21 | Darren Fells | at Patriots |
| 22 | Ricky Seals-Jones | vs. Steelers |
| 23 | Irv Smith Jr. | at Seahawks |
| 24 | Jonnu Smith | vs. Packers |
Kelce should have no issues tearing up the Raiders, so he takes over the TE1 position. Cook has a nice matchup against the Falcons – he’s played better lately, putting up double-digit fantasy points in his last five games.
| D/STs | ||
| Rank | Team | Opponent |
| 1 | Philadelphia Eagles | at Dolphins |
| 2 | Pittsburgh Steelers | vs. Browns |
| 3 | Baltimore Ravens | vs. 49ers |
| 4 | New England Patriots | at Texans |
| 5 | Cleveland Browns | at Steelers |
| 6 | Chicago Bears | at Lions |
| 7 | Dallas Cowboys | vs. Bills |
| 8 | Carolina Panthers | vs. Redskins |
| 9 | Tennessee Titans | at Colts |
| 10 | Los Angeles Rams | at Cardinals |
| 11 | Green Bay Packers | at Giants |
| 12 | Denver Broncos | vs. Chargers |
The Eagles defense is in a prime spot for sacks and turnovers against the Dolphins, so they take over D/ST1. The dark horse for D/ST1 is the Panthers, who should get to struggling rookie QB Dwayne Haskins and the Redskins conservative offense.
