QBs:
Jared Goff - Granted, he is still quite volatile but he has only busted 1 game so far. He has also passed the 20-points mark 4 times this season. He should be a weekly starting candidate for people who don’t have a top 5 QB already.
Sam Howell (from comments) - He’s passed the 20-points mark 4 times. He’s also scored single digits in points twice with a 4 INT, near 0-point game against the Bills. Howell seems to be trending upwards but he’s a risky start. Potentially worth the risk for people who needs a weekly-startable QB now.
WRs:
Amari Cooper - He has scored 15.8, 24.9, and 14.9 in the past 3 weeks, which are very respectable WR2 numbers. Out of all the weeks with Watson as his QB, Amari Cooper has never scored under 14 points with the exception of week 1. He remains the top deep threat in the Browns offense and he looks to be a solid starter for the rest of the season as long as Watson can remain healthy.
Courtland Sutton (from comments) - Outside of a 2.3 point game against the Jets, he has never scored below 10 points in any game. He seems to be a solid set-and-forget WR3/flex player in fantasy.
TEs:
Dalton Schultz - Out of the past 5 weeks, Schultz‘s only bad game is a 2.5 performance against the Panthers when CJ Stroud did not throw the ball too well. He seems to be that veteran safety net for CJ Stroud and it’s not unreasonable to assume he’ll be a 10-15 point per week scoring TE with the pass heavy Texans.
David Njoku - He’s had a slow start but he has scored 10 or more points in the past 4 weeks and has seen a rise in targets. While not elite numbers, it’s better than streaming TEs. He should be a startable TE for teams without someone like Hockenson or Andrews.
George Kittle - I think a lot of people gave up on him earlier this season because of his high volatility, but he seems to be getting more work in the Niners’ offense even with Deebo back. In the past 3 games, he has hauled in big catches and recorded scores of 20.6, 23.9, and 13.0. He should be in that top 5 TE range if he continues to be involved in pass catching.
RBs
Jaylen Warren - While not a match-winning RB, he’s been very solid. In the past 6 weeks, he has scored over 10 points in 5 of them. Of course, he shares half of the snaps with Harris, but he’s a fairly efficient RB with some receiving and big play potential. He should be a good RB for bye weeks or to fill in for injured players.
Najee Harris (from comments) - Similar boat to Warren, but he’s had more rush yards and more red zone touches. He has not fallen below 10 points in any of the past 4 games. He should also be a solid backup RB.
Kareem Hunt - Despite sharing the backfield with Jerome Ford, he has scored touchdowns in 5 consecutive games. He could be a solid option for people in need of a RB2 or flex player that can at least provide 10-15 points per week.
Joe Mixon - He hasn’t really put up any huge games, but he’s had 3 games in a row with touchdowns. While he’s probably already starting for most teams, it should be noted that he should be getting back to that mid to high-end RB2 status.
Rhamondre Stevenson - He had a bad stretch of games under 10 points so some people gave up or traded him. But in the past 5 games he has only scored under 13 points once. He seems to be getting back to that mid to high-end RB2 status, like Mixon.
Rashaad White (from comments) - He had a rocky start to the season but has now stabilized as as a very solid RB2. He has score 15 or more points in all of the past 4 games.
Najee Harris has had the world’s quietest return to RB1 status. I’ll be starting him over Pollard’s bum ass next week.
