We're proud to offer up analysis and advice year-round, but nothing may
be more beneficial to our readers than these rankings. Not only do we
break down the league's players position by position, but we also
include auction values based on a $100 budget in a 12-team league with
16 roster spots to fill. Naturally, every league is different, so
consider these rankings based on a standard-scoring format that rewards
six points for all touchdowns and one point for each reception.

For a list of players ranked in general based on Fantasy importance,
check out our
Top 200 list. Best of all, we update these rankings on a daily
basis based on team personnel, depth chart changes and injuries, so
whenever you need them, they will be fresh and ready for you.
Green and red arrows signify an increase or decrease in value since the
previous rankings release, assuming the player moved significantly. An
asterisk denotes injury concerns.
