As you are drafting your strategies should be built on the combinations of reading the room, your leagues historic drafting tendencies, platform (ESPN, YAHOO, etc) ADP arbitrage, and predicting upside by thinking about a range of outcomes. Any sites rankings are going to be in and around the same and start to differentiate the further down the list since its merely anyone’s guess. Use your own intuition and research as well. I mainly use a combination of stats from Pro Football Focus, Football Outsiders, News Agg Rotoworld and trusted people from the fantasy realm whose opinions I trust like Evan Silva/Adam Levitan (Establish the Run) and more. My own rankings and opinions are my own and is merely one guide of probably a thousand available guides to help you traverse the fantasy season.

I was going to try to include Yahoo and ESPN rankings but they keep meddling with it so I will end up writing who I think is a value grab although that has majorly changed especially on ESPN in the past few days. For example they had Mark Andrews pretty low and boosted him up. Yahoo does have JuJu lower then normal.

TNT are players I am targeting vs not targeting (at their ADP) and TNT is indifferent. (I might take them I might not). Instead of a separate article of players I like and don’t like I am including it on the rankings.
