Fantasy Football Player Rankings

hooskins · 08-31-2011, 10:02 AM

So I have my first fantasy football draft coming up this evening and as always I am not prepared as much as I would like to be. I am taking a quick gander around the web to compare multiple player rankings and analysis to cram.

Any sites you guys find particularly helpful for procrastinators like myself?

Take a hint from SkinsNCanes and go Ochocinco with the 3rd overall pick!

Just make sure you take Tim Hightower !!!!

lol nice. Now that I have my first and second pick confirmed (Ochocinco and TH), are there any rankings y'all think are useful for the rest of my draft?

I've got Tim in both leagues

Take RBs off the board first 2 picks. Then I'd snatch up A QB

Yahoo has some decent rankings and they're pretty easy to work with. You also may want to grab a copy of Pro Football Weekly's FF Guide, good stuff there too.

Do you know what your draft position is?
What are the scoring rules?
What are the active positions each week (is it like Yahoo standard, QB, 2RB, 3WR, TE, DST, K)?
I'm assuming a serpentine draft?

If it's like a Yahoo standard in active positions and scoring, I like to grab my two RBs first, unless you can't get a top flight RB with the second pick. If not, you should be able to take a top tier WR or Brees/Rogers. It's all about value at each pick. Don't just pre-determine a position for each draft pick early on if there's a better value player at another position.

Good luck tonight.

Depends on how many teams are in your league. You could load up on Rbs the first 2-3 rounds or do what I did in mine with a 16 team league and go with QBs the first two rounds. I got Rodgers then Schaub as my backup. Yeah I didn't get the best RBs, but I landed starters. I might pick up Beck as a 3rd QB once it is confirmed if he is #1.

Tim was still around in the fourth round in my league, I scooped him up.
