Fantasy Football Rankings

By Mike Dietrich Posted On September 3, 2013

Now that the waiver process is complete, I have tweaked and re-tweaked these rankings. This is the final list that I will be using in my upcoming drafts this week. These ranking are for Non-PPR leagues, so in a PPR then the biggest jumpers would be Sproles, Vereen, Bernard, and other pass catching running backs. The top 15 would change as well, as Lynch, Morris, and Ridley would drop, and Bush could be taken in that top 15.

There are a ton of guys who will not end up on my team:

Rogers, Brees, Manning, and Brady – I just will not take a QB in the top 30 or so picks, too much depth in later rounds.

Arian Foster, Gore, Denver Rb’s, McFadden – Foster cause if possible injury; Gore with downhill cliff due; No clear Denver Rb, and McFadden – even if healthy – has not shown ability to carry a bad team.

Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Andre Johnson, Randall Cobb, Wes Welker, Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks, Stevie Johnson, Anquan Boldin – CJ because I will not draft a WR in top 10; Marshall, Cobb, and Cruz due to injury uncertainty; Welker being maybe the 3rd WR option now; Nicks looked very slow and just does not seem to play every game, and finally Johnson, due to the issues at QB in Buffalo.

Gronkowski and Graham – Gronk looks to be on his way back, but I just cannot take the chance in 1st 4 rounds with all those surgeries in the past 12 months. I am against taking Graham in 1st 2 rounds due to him having one great year.

I do not list kickers or defense’s as I draft them in last 2 rounds.
