UPDATED AUG. 2
-- Drew Brees goes from 7 to 5. I know last year was nowhere near his best, statisically. But with the injury and/or small sample size concerns surrounding Carson Wentz and Deshaun Watson, I think I'd rather have Brees. He is still going to be very productive and is incredibly safe. I'm still pretty high on those latter two just due to their immense upsides.
-- Matthew Stafford gets bumped up to 7. That's where he has finished in the fantasy QB standings in each of the past two seasons.
-- I'm not quite ready to move Andrew Luck into that QB1 area. Check back in a few weeks, and if hasn't suffered a setback by then, I'll have to make that change.
-- I moved Alex Smith up a few spots, from 19 to 16, because I think he is an incredibly safe, high-floor QB2 this season in that aggressive Redskins offense.
-- Swapped Marcus Mariota and Jared Goff.
-- Jameis Winston was moved down from 21 to 25.
