We are in the thick of draft season! Going into your draft with a plan is the single most important thing in fantasy football. I don’t mean mapping out who to select round-by-round, as marrying yourself to players before the draft can lead to draft picks that you’ll regret through January (at the earliest). By a plan, I mean an understanding of how you value players versus one another. Tier-based rankings are the best tool to do so as they allow you to made quick decisions when you’re on the clock. The rankings give you a reference you can quickly consult to tell how a player is valued amongst his peers. It is extremely helpful when making decisions between multiple positions on draft day. Is there 10 WR left in the current tier but only 3 RB left before a tier break and a drop off in potential? Might be wiser to go in the RB’s direction. While it isn’t always as black and white as the example above, tier-based rankings are essential to my draft day success and are widely recommended by fantasy experts across the industry.
These rankings are for full point PPR and cover the top 24 QB’s and TE’s plus the top 50 RB’s and WR’s. Projected points are from The Athletic’s Jake Ciely.
