Fantasy Football 2018 Overall Ranks

August 16, 2018 By Bloggin Hood

Well, we’ve made it. After 6 weeks, I’m giving my top 200ish players. I didn’t count it, so it might be less, it might be more. I mean, it’s free so you shouldn’t be expecting a full effort anyway.

Players are grouped by rounds, assuming a 12 team league. I also ranked assuming .5 points per catch, which does matter for certain players, namely backs who can’t catch and low volume, big play receivers. The very last tier is more than 12 guys, but if you’re worried about the 23rd QB and 21st TE, you’re playing in a giant league or doing something wrong.

Keep in mind that while these are my ranks, you don’t just want to go down the list and draft. You need to adjust based on how your team is developing. You might need to reach on a high upside pick or get some stability based on your opening rounds. Don’t be a slave to the rankings. It’s a bad look.

To aid in this, I’ve included the consensus rankings and the Yahoo rankings next to each player. I chose Yahoo since they are the most popular server, but boy are some of their ranks… well, let’s call them unique. The back half of the second round on Yahoo is basically the Wild West. And people thought I didn’t respect Fournette.

I wasn’t able to adjust these numbers or my ranks since August 12th, and there’s been a few major injuries shaking up in camp. Since I couldn’t update these fully, I noted who was hurt and about how far I’d move them. The way things look, Rashaad Penny and Sony Michel are going to be wonderful values to stash. I also noted players who I moved up or down just from performance, upside, or realizing I made a mistake.

Without further ado, here we go. Be gentle America.
