 Almost all fantasy football players love to stare at rankings and try to analyze what they mean. So, what does it mean? Probably not much. Rankings are a staple of the fantasy diet but they are low in protein and mostly junk food. Novice players need rankings as a guide but more experienced players should develop their own valuations and trust their gut.

Fantasy leagues vary quite a bit in their formats and scoring and this can make player rankings almost useless when they are not based on your league's scoring. Use your brain and do your own research. Rankings are just another guy's opinions.
