Average Magazine Rankings (Running Backs)
|
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, WRs,
TEs, PKs,
Def/STs
