Fantasy Football Rankings: Top 150

These rankings are based on multiple baselines to try to assess value (compared to starter, top backup, and roster spot baselines). They are PPR (which is why some of the running back order changes), and based on a 12-team league. I’ve also made a few tweaks based on injuries and preseason games where I thought it was appropriate.

It is color coded. Players where I have ranked lower than the average consensus are marked in 0range if at least 10 spots different, and red if at least 20 spots different. For players I am higher on than the average, I have marked with light green (10 spots) and darker green (20 or more spots). Drafting is art and science. I would not recommend going straight off this list. Use the color codes. Try to get Green players a round or two later, and after round 9, maybe even three or four rounds later. Winning teams maximize talent early, and build value late.

I adjusted other situations as well, including Detroit, to move Kevin Smith up as Jahvid Best seems very unlikely to contribute. I shifted the New England situation, and Washington also, to reflect the possibility of a more even split.
