We're one month into the 2021 fantasy football season, and as is usually the case for everything we thought we knew, several things caught us off guard.
We knew Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs would be an excellent fantasy quarterback. But not even Sam Darnold's mother thought the Panthers starter would be a top-five fantasy option heading into October.
We knew Derrick Henry of the Tennessee Titans would be a force in the backfield. But had you proclaimed that four weeks into the season that not one but two Detroit backs would rank inside the top 20 at the position, you would have been laughed at.
