Week One Fantasy Football Rankings

Like I said a few days ago, I'm going to be posting my rankings for week one here on Wednesday and here I am. I'm going to rank 25 quarterbacks, 45 running backs, 50 wide receivers, 25 tight ends, and 20 defenses - screw kickers. These will come out every Wednesday, and they are non PPR; tomorrow will be my starts and sits of the week. I highly suggest you use this to activate your line up for this week. I'm just as excited as you are for Sunday! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, shoot me an email at cshardy@att.net or I am always on Twitter @TheFFAddict and I would be happy to answer any of your fantasy questions.



Just a heads up for the schedule of this blog now that the season has started. Monday I won't be posting, but rather waiting for the Monday Night Football game. On Tuesday there will be a post of what I did/didn't like that week, including some news. On Wednesday, as I mentioned earlier, my rankings for that week will be up. Every Thursday I will give you some starts and sits (you may or may not of seen them in my rankings). Then, depending on my personal schedule, on either Friday or Saturday I will post my pick, predicted score, and some analysis. Let's get started with the rankings now.
