Preseason Rankings Disclaimer:
My favorite fantasy football analyst, Jamey Eisenberg, said "making playoffs is skill, making the championship is luck". Pertaining to my preseason rankings, I can't predict the future, so don't take these rankings literally. These rankings are where I feel comfortable taking guys based off of last year, but more importantly what I think they can do the following year. When projecting what could be done next year, I take into account if a new Head Coach and/or Offensive Coordinator was hired, and their tendencies. In addition, I take into account free agent signings, trades, or draft picks made at the player's position, so opportunity might not be there. Also, I take into account free agent signings, trades, and draft picks made by the team that could affect the player, age, and the player's contract status. Historically, players play better in contract years. However, players coming off of a bad year, who are usually good, are players I'm high on to bounce back as long as they're not up there in age.
