52 hours, 34 mins and a handful of seconds. That’s how long it’s taken to go through 366 players with a fine comb – assessing situations, off-season transactions, strength of schedule and of course the most important ingredient, my gut feelings.
So here we are, the first official stat based rankings of the season from me as the OTA’s get into full swing for all 32 teams. I will be updating the rankings at the beginning of every month as i’m sure as the sun will rise that there will be injuries and more roster moves as we head into the training camp portion of the seemingly endless off-season process which will affect various players that will be listed on here.
There are some juicy predictions from me as I am sure you will be able to find; so please come at me with your questions and opinions – i love nothing more than a good debate when it comes to fantasy football. Also keep a look out, as over the coming weeks I will be writing a series of short articles explaining some of the discrepancies of why I am low, or high, on certain players. Eyes peeled.
