I am eager to see how these players will impact the rankings week in and week out with the National Football League coming back into season.

Fantasy football is a game where you choose a team of real football players from different teams and win points according to how well the players play each week, according to the Cambridge Dictionary.

Some picks are more obvious than others, while some picks continue to surprise fans as the season progresses.

The more obvious picks will be players that consistently have good seasons like Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Joshua Jefferson. 

One pick that I was not expecting to be so valuable is New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara. 

Kamara already has 285 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns in only three games and the Saints are currently the No. 1 team in the NFC South, according to an ESPN web page. 

He also currently ranks second among all the running backs for ESPN fantasy football, according to another web page from ESPN. This should tell you everything that you need to know.

Another valuable pick that happens to come from the same team is Saints quarterback Derek Carr, who has had a good season so far as well.

 Carr currently has 585 passing yards and six touchdown passes in his first three games making him a gold mine for fantasy points right now, according to the same web page . 

I know it is still early in the season but a lot of times these first few games might set a tone for how the season might go.

Unfortunately, the next few weeks won’t be looking so good for the Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco. 

Pacheco fractured his fibula against the Cincinnati Bengals in week two and is expected to miss six to eight weeks of game play, according to another web page from ESPN. 

By that point, the season is already going to be halfway done so it would be impossible to maximize fantasy points with him.

Pacheco is coming off a season where he scored seven rushing touchdowns and averaged 4.6 yards per carry, according to a different web page from ESPN.

Not to mention he is a two-time Super Bowl titleholder after the Chiefs won its third Super Bowl title against the San Francisco 49ers, according to a Feb. 12 article from NBC News.

I thought he was going to be one of the best fantasy players this season after seeing his stats, but someone can get hurt on any given Sunday.

For those who are also in this situation I would consider picking up running back Kareem Hunt.

The Chiefs just picked Hunt up on Sept. 17 and it seems like he is going to be the main source of their ground game these next coming weeks.

While it was a long time ago, Hunt’s first stint with the Chiefs was arguably the best that he had ever played.

In his rookie season, Hunt had over 1,300 rushing yards and averaged roughly five yards per carry which led to eight touchdowns for the season, according to a different web page from ESPN.

While we might not see that level play again from Hunt this season due to wear and tear after being picked up as a free agent, it looks like there is still some use for him on the ground.

He might be good enough to reel in some fantasy points.

Playing fantasy football is a good way to follow the game and stay up to date on a player’s performance.

As long as you do it for that purpose and as a way to bring your favorite players together, gambling should not be a concern since it is not naturally a part of fantasy football.

With 14 more weeks left in the regular season, the best fantasy football picks have plenty of time to change. 

I like what I am seeing right now and I am looking forward to what the rest of the season has in store for fans.
