Updated Top 200 Fantasy Football Ranking & Injury Fallout

By Mike Dietrich Posted On August 27, 2015

This week we will have an updated top 200 with a ton of changes from last week. The changes are related to things I watched and read about in the first two weeks of preseason. After this week, unless there is an injury, the big board will basically be set. My 1st draft is 9/2 and as I have mentioned, the later the draft the better your league will be.

Let’s take a deeper look at the most important injuries from a fantasy perspective:

Jordy Nelson– This injury has moved Adams into a WR2 range, he struggles to the back shoulder catch unlike Jordy but can make an impact in all other areas. Ty Montgomery seems to be the WR3 but he is a stash and pray. I have moved Lacy up to RB1 since I think he gets 2-3 more TD’s but moved Rodgers down a tad due to his relationship to Nelson.
Kelvin Benjamin– I have moved Newton down quite a bit, Stewart down, as well as Olsen. I just see this offense taking a large drop without a WR1.
Arian Foster– This continues to be a moving target but now that it looks like a possible week 5 return makes him at least a 5th rounder, such a high possible reward. Blue stays in round 10.
Maurice Pouncey– I would have dropped Bell and Ben here but Bell is such a pass weapon and Ben is a beast. Status quo.
Ryan Clady– The Broncos are going with a very inexperienced line and with Manning’s age, lack of mobility, I continue to drop him, so many more Qb’s I like this year.
Scott Suisham– Kickers are people too! He has been more than solid in a tough stadium so I think the Pittsburgh offense may take a small scoring hit.
Orlando Scandrick– His injury and the facade of the Dallas defense could give Romo and company more opportunities to need and want to score quicker on offense.

Here is the top 200 and feel free to ask me any questions on Twitter.
