Sitting down tonight, my wife asked if I wanted to watch Thursday Night Football. The whirlwind that is everyone everywhere wanting to see your infant during the holidays made me completely lose track of time. I am exhausted but these guys deserve to be recognized, albeit late. This column will be just facts and (mostly) snark free.
These rookies did a good job this week for your fantasy playoffs; unlike Sam LaPorta, Dalton Kincaid, or Jordan Addison.

Bijan had 12 carries for 72 yards and five receptions for 50 yards.
Bijan was RB 10 this week.
4. Bryce Young (22.18)
Hell froze over because the first overall pick in the draft finally had a decent game. Bryce completed 23/36 passes for 312 yards and two touchdowns. He also had 17 yards rushing.
Young was QB9 this week.
3. Zay Flowers (22.2)
With a disgusting 13 targets this week, Zay caught nine balls for 72 yards and a touchdown.
Zay was WR13 this week.
2. Jahmyr Gibbs (24)
Jahmyr carried the ball 15 times for 80 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught 4 balls for 20 yards. Sadly, he fumbled once.
Gibbs was RB3 this week.
1. Puka Nacua (33)
Puka caught nine of his 11 targets for 164 yards and a touchdown. He also had two carries for 16 yards. How did this guy fall to the 177th pick in the draft?
Puka was WR3 this week.
Again, I apologize for this being super late. We have two weeks left in the regular season that I will continue to follow despite most fantasy football leagues wrapping up before week 18. I also will have a wrap up on each position and FANTASY ROOKIE OF THE YEAR which is pretty obvious if you’ve read my column more than once. Finally, if I’m feeling ambitious, I would like to take a look at this rookie class vs last year’s. Since this article is a little weak, I figured I’d give a sneak peek for the final articles of the year.
As always, thank you for reading. Good luck in your championships/playoffs/drafts next year.
Love,
@MeLlamoMoron
