QB Rankings

QB Tier Rankings

Each owner has a different drafting strategy.  Instead of ranking the QB's 1-30, I decided to separate them into Tiers.  When the time is right for you to select your QB use my ranking system as a guide to selecting the best available QB.  If it comes down to two QB's in the same tier it is all about your preference and risk allocation.

3 Bold Predictions

3 Bold Predictions

1.  Tom Brady will be a top 5 Fantasy Football QB

Now you are probably saying to yourself, Tom Brady top 5? That's not much of a stretch, but if you look back to last year Brady was the 14th ranked QB according to YahooSports.  Not only does Brady get his favorite TE Gronkowski back, but he also get another training camp under his belt with wide outs Amendola, Dobson & Thompkins.  

2.  Seattle DEF will not be a top 5 Fantasy DEF

Courtesy:  USA Today

With an ADP (Average Draft Position) of the 7th round, the Seahawks DEF is overvalued.  Seattle's DEF last year didn't even crack the top 3 in Fantasy DEF last year.  After losing corners Brandon Browner and Walter Thurmond to free agency and cutting defensive ends Chris Clemons and Red Bryant the depth of the Seahawks DEF will be tested.

3.  Bishop Sankey will not be relevant in Fantasy Football this year.

Every year there is a rookie running back that the media just hands the starting job to.  This year it is Bishop Sankey.  Sankey is a good talent at running back, but it is going to take some time to adjust to the NFL.  Sankey is being drafted in the 5th round, which is about 4 rounds too early.  Draft Sankey early if you want to handicap your roster.
