Top 250 Dynasty Football Players, 2019 Preseason

The NFL Preseason has begun, and with it comes the winds of holdouts, health doubts, camp fights, and… frostbite? No doubt that recency bias plays a role when our drafts are held among this chaos, but in dynasty we know to recognize how short term some of these situations are. Melvin Gordon and Ezekiel Elliott are two of the largest fantasy impacts in redraft leagues, and they still offer up some concerns in dynasty. Gordon is a bit more concerning than Elliott due to the fact that he is open to a trade out of his excellent fantasy situation. In one of the weirdest high profile stories in recent memory, Antonio Brown’s obsession with his old helmet combined with his decision to go barefoot in a cryogenic chamber have caused serious concern for how much football he has left to play for dynasty owners. On the QB front, Andrew Luck’s questionable situation has impact that reaches far past his own value, as here we are again, left to speculate on the extent of Luck’s injuries.
These are some pretty big stories, and we also know serious injuries have yet to come. Each case has to be handled differently, and was no doubt considered in these rankings. This top 250 has been evaluated, tweaked, pored over, and tweaked again. They represent the opinions of this author.
