What are fantasy football rankings?

Fantasy football rankings are expert projections that order players by their expected fantasy point production. Rankings help fantasy managers make start/sit decisions, draft picks, and waiver wire moves. They're updated weekly based on matchups, injuries, and recent performance.

What's the difference between Standard and PPR rankings?

Standard scoring awards points only for yards and touchdowns, while PPR (Points Per Reception) awards an additional point for each catch. This boosts the value of pass-catching running backs and high-volume receivers. Half-PPR splits the difference at 0.5 points per catch.

How often are fantasy rankings updated?

Our expert consensus rankings are updated weekly, typically on Tuesday after Monday Night Football. Rankings may be adjusted throughout the week based on injury reports, practice participation, and breaking news.

What positions should I prioritize in fantasy football?

Running backs and wide receivers typically provide the most value due to scoring consistency and positional scarcity. Elite quarterbacks and tight ends can provide advantages, but mid-round options often offer similar production. Kickers and defenses are best addressed late.

Understanding Fantasy Football Rankings

Fantasy football rankings are the backbone of successful fantasy management. Our expert consensus rankings aggregate projections from top analysts to give you the most accurate player valuations for your weekly lineup decisions.

How Our Rankings Work

We analyze real-time player statistics including passing yards, rushing yards, receiving yards, touchdowns, and advanced metrics to create comprehensive rankings. Our system factors in:

Historical performance - Season-long trends and recent form
Matchup analysis - Opponent defensive rankings and weaknesses
Usage metrics - Snap counts, target share, and opportunity
Injury reports - Practice participation and game-time decisions

Standard vs PPR Scoring

Understanding your league's scoring format is crucial. In Standard scoring, players earn points only for yards and touchdowns. PPR (Points Per Reception) adds 1 point per catch, significantly boosting pass-catching backs and high-volume receivers. Half-PPR is the middle ground at 0.5 points per reception.

Weekly Rankings Strategy

Use our weekly rankings to identify favorable matchups and make informed start/sit decisions. Pay attention to tier breaks - a Tier 1 player should almost never be benched for a Tier 3 option, but close matchups between players in the same tier should be decided by opponent analysis.
