Good luck to everyone in their fantasy leagues this year. These rankings are for standard (non-PPR) scoring, but you can simply move guys that catch passes up and guys who don’t down. They are organized by position after the Top 200 overall, and you can read more about why I have certain players higher or lower in my “Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down” article.

I don’t agree with all these but these aren’t like cookie cutter rankings.. great to see. For example Devante Parker real high and Tyreek Hill real low compared to most
Jordan Howard 6th. Smart!!
I like your top 7 being rb heavy. Also Gronk high too — beast
You might have McCaffrey higher than anyone so that shows you actually seen the dude play and don’t stereotype cause he’s white.
