Here is how my lists would look as of today. A few players helped themselves while only a couple hurt themselves. Hodges is making a strong run at the Buchanan while Garoppolo and Zenner are putting up video game numbers this year and appear to have a strong hold on #1 and #2 for the Payton. McGhee comes off if he doesn't have a good game every week from here on out or has just one off week and the rest are noteworthy.
