Average Magazine Rankings (Defenses)
|
Posted 8/6 by Clayton Gray - Exclusive to Footballguys.com

Below, you will find the average rankings from nine popular fantasy football
magazines. You will also see the 'High' rank and 'Low' rank. We offer these
compiled magazine rankings as a guide, but obviously not to tell you what player
to draft. Instead, use these rankings as a tool to help you spy on the magazine
drafters in your league.
If there is a player/team that you consider a sleeper, these rankings can help
you judge his proper draft position. If a player/team is highly rated by the
magazines, the average magazine drafter will likely take them early. Conversely,
if a player/team is rated low by the magazines, the average magazine drafter
will likely not take them early.
Other positions: QBs, RBs,
WRs, TEs,
