Davis Mills surprisingly led all quarterbacks with nearly 25 fantasy points but this could be attributed to many teams resting their superstar quarterback. Mills fought hard for the Texans and in the process, got the win but also gave away the #1 overall pick.
Running Back: Nick Chubb (Cleveland Browns) – 23.2
Nick Chubb, who is not known to be a pass catching back, still led all running backs in fantasy points this week. Chubb edged out Kareem Hunt for more touches and should continue to be relevant next season in Cleveland.
Wide Receiver: Keenan Allen (Los Angeles Chargers) – 30.2

Tight End: Jordan Akins (Houston Texans) – 25.0
Akins was the primary beneficiary of the big day from Davis Mills, even though the Texans weren’t expecting to win today. The Texans might move on at the quarterback position due to the talent in the draft but Akins might be a cornerstone in that offense moving forward.

Koo went 3/3 from field goal range along with 3/3 on extra points with his longest field goal coming from 51 yards away. Koo played an important part in the Falcons win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
