The desire to overreact to early performances hits us all. When the reality is it’s better to wait for a month (or more) to make a judgement on a player’s game early in a season. It seems like realizing that a player and team can develop over the course of a season is becoming lost on people—especially as it relates to NFL teams and players.
But we digress.
Let’s take a look at which players have made the splash up the board, which are falling, and those stars like Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders who are rock solid.
For this Big Board, we’re breaking the ranks down into tiers. The top 25 players are ranked linearly, but in groups as you’ll see below. And at the end of the Big Board, you’ll get our latest top 10s at each position group.
