Fantasy Football Rankings

We've been ranking NFL players for over 10 years. With all the time I've put into this I can only say one things for certain, consistent players are consistent. The randomness of big plays are hard to predict and therefore ranking isn't a perfect science.

What we do is rank the consistent players accordingly and then find those breakout games to move some players up, and those defensive battles to move some players down. Most of the calls I make are data driven but at times there isn't anything wrong with going with your gut.

Below you'll find our most recent rankings.

Week 4 Tight End Rankings: Eric Ebron Is Bringing It

by Jacob Trowbridge

There’s not a lot to love about the tight end position so far. Unless you own Travis Kelce or Zach Ertz, you’re probably not thrilled with the points you’ve been getting in that slot. Gronk’s disappointed thus far, Trey Burton’s underwhelmed, the Jimmy Graham-Aaron Rodgers connection hasn’t thrived like many suspected, Will Dissly was a […]

Week 4 Wide Receiver Rankings: Can’t Fight This Thielen Anymore

by Jacob Trowbridge

As we near the quarter mark of the NFL’s regular season, one thing has become clear: the world is upside down. And inside out. In PPR formats, Antonio Brown is barely a WR1.

Week 4 Quarterback Rankings: Brady Is Top Dog

by Brendan Cole

This is it, the week where we find out if Patrick Mahomes is matchup proof. Oh, and there are some other quarterbacks playing this week as well. After the Monday night game we’ll be a quarter of the way through the season already. Here we go with the week 4 quarterback rankings, just in time […]

Week 4 Kicker Rankings: Sam Ficken’s Anyone?

by Kurt Turner

With Greg “Legatron” Zuerlein out for a couple weeks you’re probably wondering if Sam Ficken is a start. I have him ranked 12th, but if your league takes points away for misses you’d better play it safe and snatch someone else. Good luck this week and if you need me to call some more coin flips […]

Week 4 DST Fantasy Football Rankings

by Kurt Turner

With teams starting to show their true colors I’m beginning to feel more comfortable with my team defense rankings. Last season we could use any defense against the Cleveland Browns. The Bills are this years version, which elevates the Packers team defense to 6th in my rankings. Seattle could be on your waiver wire too, […]
