Fantasy football rankings are a great way to instill objective guidance in what can become a very frenzied and emotional draft process. But, at the end of the day, one person’s rankings should only be treated as a starting point.
From my rankings, you can get a sense of some players I rate higher than most (for example, DeMarco Murray, C.J. Spiller and Toby Gerhart), as well as some of the positions I tend to prioritize (tight end) or de-emphasize (quarterback) relative to others.
But, please keep in mind that it is still early in the preseason process, and that the rankings assume a “standard” 10-person league with 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, and 1 flex. The players you should be drafting may differ considerably depending upon the unique settings of your league. Ultimately, you would also still be wise to trust your own judgment to ensure your team is comprised of players you have faith in to perform.
