Rather, I wish to concentrate on getting caught up with the major players - the top tier writers in popularity.
This is a purely subjective choice. My decision - in no way - should have any impact whatsoever and in any form on whomever one chooses to read, beyond those mentioned in the Title header of this thread.

If you're basing it on popularity, then are you caught up with Joe Abercrombie and Pat Rothfuss? They are probably the two best selling "epic fantasy" authors not named Brandon Sanderson or George R.R. Martin.
I am also going to throw out David Gemmell's name in the off chance you're not familiar with him. If you like fantasy and have a soul, you should probably read his books. It's a shame he passed away at a fairly young age.
BTW: I wouldn't consider Abraham a second player, considering The Expanse books are NYT best sellers and have TV show coming out.
