Fantasy rankings, every experts and average player’s favorite guessing game. These ranking are the first I have ever done. I have never been the over achiever in my home draft, the guy who made his own rankings. One of my roommates, used to bring his own rankings to our draft. Then I thought he was crazy, now whose crazy? Generally, I’ll just print the latest cheatsheet and take it with me.
This year will be different. By the time draft season comes around I should have three or four blogged mock drafts, a top 300 ranking and a couple thousand words that only my friends who I will drafting against me will read. Maybe I should rethink letting my friends them know about this.
My rankings are based off of research, experience and advice of fantasy experts. I did not copy and past Matthew Berry’s fantasy rankings and put my name them. I did take his and other rankings into account. These rankings are how I would draft players.
Some general notes:
- Get a running back in the first round, after the first dozen it gets ugly…quick
- Wait on Quarterback! The difference between Luck and Rodgers is less than five points a week.
- If you don’t get Graham, Hernandez, Witten or Gonzo (Gronk will be in this group if he is healthy), be the last to take a TE
- If I couldn’t decide between a RB or WR, I went RB due to the lack of quality at the position
