Don’t panic. Your stars underperformed. The Colts’ Nyheim Hines and the Rams’ Malcolm Brown outperformed Saquon Barkley and Nick Chubb. The Saints’ Michael Thomas couldn’t keep up with Russell Gage of the Falcons.

What to do? Like the stock market, the goal is to buy low and sell high. If you can get Chubb on the cheap go for it. Did Aaron Rodgers turn back the clock with his 364 yards passing and four touchdown performance? It could be an opportune time to package the Packers quarterback for an elite running back.
