The Top 250 Dynasty Football Rankings 2.0 – Preseason Refresh

Plenty of talented fantasy writers advocate that fantasy football players stop paying attention to football between August 1st and September 1st. The thinking is that the extra information in tiny samples is more likely to cause us to overreact than improve our decision making.

Me? I always prefer more information. While I can’t say that I have ignored preseason, most of these changes reflect new information I’ve gleaned from being a sponge (philosophy #3) this past week and researching players further (mostly based on 2015 collegiate/NFL production, not preseason).

Where small sample preseason adjustments have been a factor in these rankings tends to be wisdom from some of the most accurate redraft rankers in fantasy history. For example, when 4for4’s John Paulsen says he will bump up RG3 in his newest projections and that he looks like the old RG3, I believe an incremental adjustment is appropriate.

#Dynasty250 2.0… enjoy.

*8/24 edit – a reminder these are geared towards 2QB/superflex, so fade quarterbacks for single QB leagues.

Rank	Change	NAME	Position	Comments
1	0	Odell Beckham	WR	Best combination of youth and proven production, even if they have come with some health issues.
2	0	DeAndre Hopkins	WR
3	0	Russell Wilson	QB	The volume ticked up along with his efficiency as a thrower last year. Only benefitted from one rushing TD.
4	0	Aaron Rodgers	QB	Rodgers attempted a career-high number of passes last year. If he can do that with efficiency anywhere close to where it was pre-2015…watch out.
5	0	Andrew Luck	QB	Recency bias is strong. There were always more warts than was obvious even before last year, but I’m still buying with confidence.
6	0	Allen Robinson	WR
7	0	Cam Newton	QB	Wouldn’t quibble with anyone that put him 1.1, which is why I traded down from the top of my most recent startup.
8	0	Julio Jones	WR
9	0	Mike Evans	WR
10	0	Antonio Brown	WR	If your time is now, go get him.
11	0	Sammy Watkins	WR
12	0	Amari Cooper	WR
13	0	Rob Gronkowski	TE
14	0	Keenan Allen	WR	Fantasy’s least appreciated superstar had a fluke injury cut short his dominant ’15.
15	0	Brandin Cooks	WR	Still younger than many rookies.
16	0	A.J. Green	WR
17	0	Dez Bryant	WR
18	0	Demaryius Thomas	WR
19	0	Alshon Jeffery	WR
20	0	Marcus Mariota	QB	Last year was a good first step, but bust risk remains.
21	0	Jameis Winston	QB	RT: Last year was a good first step, but bust risk remains.
22	0	Blake Bortles	QB	Garbage time king has more warts than volume stats imply, but obviously I still like the overall package.
23	0	Derek Carr	QB	Probably a better real life QB than Bortles, but fewer weapons and doesn’t have the same wheels
24	0	Todd Gurley	RB	If anyone thinks there’s such thing as a good long-term running back investment, go sell them Gurley.
25	0	Ezekiel Elliott	RB	See Gurley comment.
26	0	DeVante Parker	WR
27	0	Donte Moncrief	WR	Another impossibly young third-year wideout.
28	0	Jarvis Landry	WR	Can fade in standard (non-PPR).
29	1	Ben Roethlisberger	QB
30	1	Tom Brady	QB	Obviously I don’t think he’s retiring any time soon.
31	-2	Corey Coleman	WR	Aggressive ranking due to favorable opportunity; not necessarily head and shoulders better as a prospect than other top WR’s
32	0	Kevin White	WR
33	0	Jordan Matthews	WR
34	0	Le’Veon Bell	RB	Damaged goods; trust me I get the tantalizing appeal, but I am staying away.
35	0	T.Y. Hilton	WR
36	0	Randall Cobb	WR	Should benefit from Jordy’s return to the lineup.
37	2	David Johnson	RB
38	2	Lamar Miller	RB
39	2	Devonta Freeman	RB
40	-2	Josh Doctson	WR	Getting frustrating Kevin White / Parker health vibes, but I really like the prospect and the WR ahead of him are old.
41	2	Philip Rivers	QB
42	0	Allen Hurns	WR
43	1	Matt Ryan	QB	Boring and reliable.
44	1	Andy Dalton	QB	Boring and reliable.
45	-8	Laquon Treadwell	WR	I don’t care about the 40 time, but increasingly weary of his pedigree as compared to cheaper options like Tyler Boyd.
46	0	Ryan Tannehill	QB
47	0	Sterling Shepard	WR	As with Coleman, aggressive ranking in part due to opportunity; if you’re rebuilding focus on cheaper options like Carroo or Boyd.
48	0	Jordan Reed	TE
49	0	Doug Baldwin	WR	I am more on the “buying it” side of the fluke/real coin based on 2015 2nd half.
50	0	Stefon Diggs	WR	Diggs did not come out of nowhere; he was a highly-touted recruit out of high school.
51	0	Jeremy Maclin	WR
52	0	John Brown	WR
53	0	Drew Brees	QB	I don’t know that the size/arm strength is there to help Brees decline gracefully and remain in the lineup beyond this year.
54	0	Kirk Cousins	QB
55	0	Teddy Bridgewater	QB	I think he can be more than a game manager, especially when AP finally retires or moves on. At minimum I think you’ll get to fill the QB slot for many years.
56	0	Matthew Stafford	QB
57	0	Brandon Marshall	WR	I don’t know how much time is left, but I still expect WR1 numbers this year. Good enough for me.
58	0	Michael Floyd	WR
59	0	Doug Martin	RB
60	0	Jamaal Charles	RB	Wake me up when he isn’t dominant on the field.
61	0	Jordy Nelson	WR	ADP prices him as though he will automatically bounce back to register multiple WR1 seasons.
62	0	Carlos Hyde	RB
63	0	Mark Ingram	RB	Looking increasingly likely that he could maintain a pass-catching role.
64	0	Jared Goff	QB	Bust risk is real, but even if he’s only a competent starting QB that means you can avoid an expensive QB market.
65	0	Eli Manning	QB	Durable, 100% job security and a top 10 redraft QB for me, too.
66	0	Zach Ertz	TE	My number two tight end has improved in every year; touchdowns are noisy and I think they’ll come just by law of averages.
67	1	Carson Palmer	QB
68	1	Kelvin Benjamin	WR	Based on ADP you will never get him anywhere close to here. Between mixed reports, poor efficiency year one and the risk of another ACL injury, I am avoiding.
69	1	Travis Kelce	TE
70	1	Tyler Eifert	TE
71	15	Tyler Boyd	WR	Really impressive college production and draft position makes him arguably the most likely rookie WR to succeed.
72	2	Tyler Lockett	WR
73	14	Will Fuller	WR	Draft pedigree explains most of WR’s success, historically. Fuller was a first round pick, which bodes well for his chances.
74	1	Greg Olsen	TE	Another great target if your time is now.
75	-2	Adrian Peterson	RB	If you’re going to pay up for him, then don’t half ass it… load up on win-now pieces instead of hedging.
76	2	Duke Johnson	RB	Perfect role and skill set to be the ideal modern fantasy running back, but the price has become that of a workhorse.
77	-5	T.J. Yeldon	RB	Love those talented non “lead” back that come at a discount.
78	-11	Devin Funchess	WR	If you’re in position to win, look to swap for one of the veteran receivers ranked just behind him.
79	0	Eric Decker	WR	Really nice player for a two year run at a championship.
80	0	Golden Tate	WR
81	0	Julian Edelman	WR
82	0	Giovani Bernard	RB
83	1	LeSean McCoy	RB
84	-7	Michael Thomas	WR	Preseason week 2 dud doesn’t phase me, but I’m rethinking preference over Boyd and Fuller after additional research
85	7	Josh Gordon	WR	Too many questions to take higher, too much upside to rank lower. Presumably someone else will bite for more.
86	-3	Larry Fitzgerald	WR	YPA is low, but he gets peppered with targets. Fading a tad due to injury because value is so tied up in him producing now.
87	4	Willie Snead	WR
88	2	Marvin Jones	WR	Expecting a career year given opportunity, health and red zone chops.
89	32	Michael Crabtree	WR	Was just too low on him considering nice mix of age/proven production.
90	-14	Emmanuel Sanders	WR
91	2	Tyrod Taylor	QB	I’m avoiding on the grounds that we don’t know that the NFL believes he’s a starter or a high-end backup. The contract extension means almost nothing given cut risk. Plenty of upside, though.
92	2	Alex Smith	QB	Good chance he starts more games in the rest of his career than Wentz or Lynch, given bust rate. Don’t confuse average with bad.
93	2	Carson Wentz	QB
94	2	Paxton Lynch	QB	Cecil Lammey says he has the “it” factor. #Analysis. But seriously, Cecil is a legend and knows Broncos beat well.
95	2	Joe Flacco	QB	Bounce back is coming. Maintains solid job security.
96	2	Brock Osweiler	QB
97	2	Tony Romo	QB	Pair with Prescott.
98	-10	Leonte Carroo	WR	A significant value play based on rookie draft ADP; excellent rebuilder’s buy due to poor opportunity.
99	-14	Eddie Lacy	RB	Only lack of competition stops me from sliding into the 100’s.
100	0	Breshad Perriman	WR	A boom/bust prospect, Perriman has rare speed/size combination but can’t stay healthy.
101	-12	C.J. Anderson	RB
102	0	Phillip Dorsett	WR
103	0	Thomas Rawls	RB	Too many variables that can prevent him from yielding significant value.
104	1	Melvin Gordon	RB
105	1	Jerick McKinnon	RB	Maybe it doesn’t happen this year, but McKinnon has RB1 skills if AP goes down or retires. He’ll be a free agent in 2018.
106	2	Tavon Austin	WR
107	2	Charles Sims	RB	RB1 skills with the opportunity, but will it come?
108	2	Latavius Murray	RB	Sell, sell, sell.
109	6	Tajae Sharpe	WR	Statheads’ favorite sleeper has excelled on the field.
110	7	Derrick Henry	RB	Not my kind of running back prospect, but looks good so far.
111	-10	Martavis Bryant	WR	Perfect gamble for a punt 2016 strategy; Gordon’s reinstatement is good news for Bryant owners.
112	2	Ameer Abdullah	RB
113	-2	Kenneth Dixon	RB	Present depth chart and Kevin Cole’s research has me backing off incrementally
114	4	DeMarco Murray	RB
115	-2	Nelson Agholor	WR	Excellent buy-low target, but the Eagles probably reached for him.
116	-12	Dorial Green-Beckham	WR	It’s a red flag when a team trades away their second-round pick from the year prior, but still pedigree to be a starter.
117	2	Eric Ebron	TE
118	2	Coby Fleener	TE
119	3	Devontae Booker	RB
120	3	Matt Forte	RB
121	3	Jeremy Hill	RB
122	4	Ryan Mathews	RB
123	-7	Rishard Matthews	WR	Hat tip to WaPo’s Michael Salfino for alerting me to his stand out YPA last year.
124	26	Robert Griffin III	QB	4for4’s John Paulsen really liked what he saw in preseason and at minimum, he’s way better at spotting redraft value than I am, so let’s pay attention.
125	13	DeSean Jackson	WR	Best ball stud.
126	1	Torrey Smith	WR	Best ball stud with a lesser QB that may not throw down field.
127	1	Ladarius Green	TE	One of the least fun things to do in fantasy is speculate on vague health issues. I’m avoiding until there’s clarity.
128	1	Braxton Miller	WR	Something of a mystery man with limited college reps, which makes me skeptical of poor forecasts I’ve seen.
129	2	Jeremy Langford	RB	Expensive JAG (“just a guy” for noobies) was one of the least efficient running backs in the NFL last year.
130	0	Matt Jones	RB	See Langford, Jeremy
131	1	Theo Riddick	RB	An elite pass-catcher, but enough buzz about Abdullah taking some of those reps to move Riddick down. It’s true that there was a perfect storm last year in Detroit in Riddick’s favor.
132	1	C.J. Prosise	RB	A nice stash if you’re rebuilding. Tough to guess what happens in 2016 between health and depth chart.
133	1	Delanie Walker	TE
134	1	Gary Barnidge	TE
135	1	Markus Wheaton	WR
136	1	Kamar Aiken	WR	ADP has caught up with the fact that he was actually pretty good and opportunity is still there.
137	2	Jay Ajayi	RB
138	2	Arian Foster	RB	I expect nothing next season (2017), but I’ll ride him into the sunset because he is a complete player even with diminished athleticism.
139	-14	Jamison Crowder	WR
140	1	Tevin Coleman	RB
141	1	DeAndre Washington	RB	Awfully good chance he’s better than Latavius, IMO.
142	1	Jonathan Stewart	RB
143	1	Ryan Fitzpatrick	QB
144	5	Jay Cutler	QB	Concerned about his long term job security with the Bears.
145	1	Danny Woodhead	RB
146	8	Julius Thomas	TE
147	9	Dwayne Allen	TE
148	18	Vincent Jackson	WR	Still some juice left.
149	-37	Jaelen Strong	WR	If he’s really fourth on the depth chart, then he deserves to move back further.
150	-3	Isaiah Crowell	RB
151	0	Frank Gore	RB	If you’re not confident in your team’s ability to win now you can steer clear.
152	0	Sam Bradford	QB	I think he is more likely than not to start elsewhere in 2017.
153	0	Pharoh Cooper	WR	In the Tajae Sharpe mold as someone with excellent age-adjusted production in college.
154	4	Jimmy Garoppolo	QB	I think he’ll start elsewhere when he’s a FA in 2018.
155	0	Austin Seferian-Jenkins	TE	If you’re a risk taker Seferian-Jenkins still has a lot of talent, just lots of warts on and off the field now.
156	1	Clive Walford	TE
157	2	Malcolm Mitchell	WR	Could shoot up these rankings in a year; nice cheap target for rebuilders.
158	2	Travis Benjamin	WR
159	-11	Hunter Henry	TE
160	-15	Chris Ivory	RB
161	1	Davante Adams	WR	I hope he was hurt last year, as poorly as he played. Was probably always a bit overrated as a prospect, regardless.
162	1	Kenyan Drake	RB	The cheapest back in Miami, he’s also my favorite based on ADP. Foster and Ajayi aren’t exactly pillars of health.
163	2	Keith Marshall	RB	I don’t like Matt Jones and Marshall is my preferred pick to beat him out, even if at present his place on depth chart today says otherwise.
164	23	Javorius Allen	RB
165	3	Tyler Ervin	RB	A talented prospect made cheap by present depth chart blues, Ervin is a nice rookie draft target with a decent chance to return RB2 numbers within the new few years.
166	3	Jimmy Graham	TE
167	3	Martellus Bennett	TE
168	4	Antonio Gates	TE
169	4	Shane Vereen	RB
170	4	Paul Perkins	RB	Caught the ball well in college, but he’ll be behind Vereen this year and I don’t see the long-term probability to merit taking any higher.
171	4	Rashad Jennings	RB	Assuming I’ve developed a strong WR core, I like to go to battle with multiple Rashad Jennings-types at the start of the year and hope my bench backs turn in to starters.
172	68	James White	RB	May not have Lewis’ elusiveness or versatility, but as a pass catcher he showed similar efficiency.
173	18	Chris Conley	WR	Another boom/bust guy; looks to be the starter opposite Maclin.
174	3	Tyler Higbee	TE
175	3	Maxx Williams	TE	The depth chart won’t forever remain this crowded.
176	4	Zach Miller	TE
177	41	Christine Michael	RB	Maybe this is for real, but how much of this hype is due to short-term injuries to his competition? I’m selling to anyone caught up in said hype, but have to take notice.
178	16	Rashard Higgins	WR	There are worse dart throws if you’re speculating on a future starter for cheap.
179	4	Mike Glennon	QB	I think he’ll start somewhere next year and be a cheap good-enough QB. Great pickup for a rebuilding team.
180	4	Sammie Coates	WR	If he does in fact lose his starting job, it’ll be a feather in the cap of collegiate production vs. combine metrics. He did not produce in college.
181	4	Bilal Powell	RB	If you build your team correctly, you can win with Bilal Powell in your starting lineup.
182	47	Mike Wallace	WR	Like him most for best ball and if your time is now, you could justify an even higher rank.
183	-7	Jordan Howard	RB	Sketchy fantasy profile, but the Bears have more quantity than quality in their backfield.
184	2	Justin Forsett	RB
185	-4	Jace Amaro	TE	Opportunity knocks for this 2014 2nd round pick.
186	2	Darren Sproles	RB	Give us one more year, Sproles. One more…
187	2	Steve Smith	WR
188	2	Terrance Williams	WR	Really missed Romo last year. Cowboys have yet to develop a significant receiving threat opposite Dez.
189	-10	Austin Hooper	TE
190	2	Pierre Garcon	WR
191	4	Cameron Artis-Payne	RB	A rare clear-cut backup RB, just wish he had more pass catching chops (and Cam at the goal line doesn’t help).
192	7	Shaun Draughn	RB
193	7	Charcandrick West	RB
194	-30	Chris Hogan	WR
195	1	Jonathan Williams	RB	If McCoy goes down, he’s my pick over guys nominally ahead of him on the depth chart today.
196	1	Justin Hardy	WR	I’m watching him closely as no one has emerged to replace Roddy White and Sanu is so meh.
197	1	DeAngelo Williams	RB
198	9	Alex Collins	RB	Monitor Seahawks’ situation closely as their individual values are fluid.
199	11	Dak Prescott	QB	Pair with Romo for strategic value.
200	-18	Josh Ferguson	RB	Rough preseason has him looking more like the the next failed Gore replacement, but don’t give up yet.
201	-30	Wendell Smallwood	RB	Uphill battle with uncertain place on the depth chart, but I like the pass-catching profile still long-term.
202	4	Blaine Gabbert	QB
203	-1	Jason Witten	TE
204	-1	Spencer Ware	RB
205	-1	Kendall Wright	WR	A forgotten man, but with DGB out of the fold could be back in the mix as the slot stud he used to be.
206	2	Vance McDonald	TE
207	2	Will Tye	TE	Some risk the Giants start Donnell, but Eli throws to his tight ends in the red zone and I like Tye better.
208	3	Bruce Ellington	WR
209	21	Chris Thompson	RB
210	2	Terrelle Pryor	WR	If it’s not a thing (and it probably is not), you can ditch him.
211	NR	Charles Johnson	WR
212	NR	Kenjon Barner	WR	Second straight impressive preseason looks to have put him in position to be Eagles’ No. 2 RB.
213	18	Marqise Lee	WR	I’d love to own him and take a look weeks 1-4. Health has been the problem. High end prospect pedigree, which should still matter to you even now.
214	NR	Jared Cook	TE	Fine, Packers’ starting TE deserves to be on this list.
215	-14	Mohamed Sanu	WR	Hate the talent, but undeniably sweet opportunity. If you’re a contender, you could do worse.
216	NR	Virgil Green	TE
217	-4	Darren McFadden	RB
218	-3	Kyle Rudolph	TE
219	15	Charles Clay	TE
220	-4	Richard Rodgers	TE	I think he’s better than Jared Cook. That doesn’t mean he will start, though.
221	-4	Zach Zenner	RB
222	-3	Brett Hundley	QB	He will test your patience, but upside is immense.
223	1	Ted Ginn Jr.	WR	Another good best ball player due to his “home run” hitting pedigree as a deep threat.
224	-4	Daniel Lasco	RB	Not much talent in the backfield after Ingram.
225	-4	James Starks	RB
226	-4	Jordan Cameron	TE
227	-4	J.J. Nelson	WR	Speed! Wheeeee!!!
228	-3	LeGarrette Blount	RB
229	18	Trevor Siemian	QB	Smart folks at ProFootballFocus thought he looked better than Sanchez and Lynch. Seems to have pulled ahead of Sanchez, fwiw.
230	-123	Dion Lewis	RB	Yes he’s a running back with serious health concerns, but he makes a pretty decent buy low for a rebuilding team.
231	1	Paul Richardson	WR	This 2014 2nd round pick is finally healthy. Once a pretty good prospect.
232	9	Robert Woods	WR
233	NR	Jermaine Kearse	WR
234	NR	Tyrell Williams	WR
235	-8	Alfred Morris	RB
236	-8	Andre Ellington	RB
237	-70	Mike Thomas	WR	(Rams.) Another highly productive collegiate wide receiver, but not doing the things this summer that you want to see from a late draft pick to surprise.
238	-77	Karlos Williams	RB	Could parachute in to a nice situation or balloon (D+ weight gain joke) out of the league.
239	-4	Jeff Janis	WR	Given the variance in opinions, at this price, you ain’t getting Janis.
240	-4	Cardale Jones	QB	A viable handcuff to Taylor in case the Bills decide to part ways next offseason (and due to injury risk).
241	-4	Cody Kessler	QB	Not in love with the prospect, but no other plausible long term QB on the roster.
242	NR	Kenny Stills	WR
243	NR	Lance Dunbar	RB	Elite PPR back is off the PUP.
244	-51	Cody Latimer	WR	Aggressive ranking, but there’s reasons to believe starting with the total lack of receiving talent in Denver after Sanders and Thomas.
245	-2	Chris Johnson	RB	Acceptable #ZeroRB for one more year.
246	-2	Devin Smith	WR	2015 2nd round pick is worth a stash at the end of your roster in deep leagues.
247	-33	Ricardo Louis	WR
248	-10	Colin Kaepernick	QB	Enough fantasy appeal with his legs to continue to monitor.
249	NR	Rob Kelley	RB	Depth charts are fluid now, but considering Matt Jones is meh and Keith Marshall hasn’t wowed, let’s monitor Kelley who could open up as the No. 2 back.
250	NR	Jesse James	TE

[…] 2016 Fantasy Football Rankings: TheDynastyGuru.com updates their rankings of the top 250 overall players for keeper/dynasty leagues. […]

There’s a strategic piece here that eludes me. I get that QB, TE, and WR have 7-12 year career peaks where RBs have 2-3 year career peaks. But doesn’t the nature of lineup submission mitigate the extent to which you downgrade RBs? If a lineup allowed for 5 starting WR and zero RB, of course they’d be valued that way. But depending on the league, I’m starting 1-3 RBs every week, and likely no more than 4 WR/TEs. At some point you get diminishing returns on valuing a position at which you can only start so many guys, right? I assume these rankings are not for a rebuilding team only. So when I’ve collected four WR who have more value than any RB on the list, how do I think about trade value to be able to correctly diversify my assets to full a lineup?

  Thanks for the interesting question, Jason.
  
  You can win dynasty leagues without ever paying for a high-end running back provided that you’re building your team correctly.
  
  My rankings are developed to help owners have sustained runs of high-probability contention, which means emphasizing youth, longevity and (relative to RBs) low variance positions.
  
  With that in mind, the goal is to build your team to have no fewer than three, but hopefully four or more dominant wide receivers. At minimum, owners can start three WR with the FLEX spot, but 3x starting WR leagues and/or a second flex spots are increasingly common. In shallower leagues, a fourth dominant WR may seem like a luxury, but between bye weeks and injuries the utility is still there of having a stud WR even if he sits on your bench sometimes. Those four wide receivers are your foundation that sets you up to be among the best teams every single year, which is all you can ask for in a high-variance endeavor like fantasy football.
  
  If you get to a point when you have five or six dominant WR’s, then make sure you have stud quarterbacks and tight ends before you finally turn your attention to running backs. That said, I’m a #ZeroRB disciple, which means that I am very uncomfortable paying retail for a nominal starting running back ever.
  
  I prefer to utilize a boring, cheap Rashad Jennings or Franke Gore to hold down the fort until one of my lottery ticket backup running backs (this year think McKinnon, Sims, Booker, Dixon, Prosise) turn into a starter. To the extent that you’re worried about “diversifying assets” I’d recommend making sure you have a collection of plug and play boring RB’s to bide time for the pre-breakout, higher-upside #ZeroRBs waiting for their chances on your bench. If you chase whoever is the healthy starting running back at the time, I think you’ll be very disappointed.

    There is also the concept of discounting future value due to uncertainly (the league ending, rules changes, etc.) — which I don’t think your rankings fully account for (?).
    
    Also, what’s the theory behind valuing guys like Matt Ryan in the top 50? He’s totally replaceable and has limited upside — present or future. Thanks.

      While I am something of an agist, I do discount uncertainty associated with bust risk for prospects, high injury risk players, etc. However, it’s true that this list assumes your league will not fold. If that’s the case, you should contact me about joining a more serious league where that is not in doubt 🙂
      
      Regarding Matty Ice (and others like him, such as Dalton) –
      
      1. These are focused on 2Qb/superflex leagues in which they are not easily replaceable. I have re-added that note to the intro, (which was omitted as compared to last week’s rankings). If you play single QB dynasty then you should fade the QB rankings (and then ask your commish to change the format to 2qb, because it’s the way of the present/future.
      2. for redraft leagues I want upside. For dynasty leagues, I want to plug a hole with someone that I can count on to occupy the position indefinitely. Ryan is ultra durable and has tremendous long term job security. Once you lock in quarterbacks like Matt Ryan, you’re free to swing for the fences at other positions.
      
      My favorite projections for redraft have Qb’s 10-27 separated by 27 points, so if they’re all relatively similar, give me the one that is most reliable year over year.
