Week 1 Standard Rankings (Top 300)

Below you will find our overall Week 1 standard rankings for fantasy football.

Three of our lead fantasy football columnists, Bill DubielPierre Camus and Frankie Soler, have analyzed the NFL matchups and game slates for Week 1. Below you will find their consensus staff ranks.

Feel free to click those links and give these fine gentlemen a follow, or let them know how much you love or hate their rankings.

Editor's Note: The FFPC Playoff Challenge #2 is back with a massive $100,000 grand prize and $203,250 total prize pool, paying down to 100th place. Here's the deal: no salary cap, no draft, no pickups, no subs. Choose 8 players, and as NFL teams get knocked out so will your players, so choose your team wisely. The entries will sell out quickly, and registrations will close on Saturday January 17th at 4:30 pm ET . Don't wait - get your team now and end your fantasy football season with a shot at $100,000! Sign Up Now!

 

Week 1 Fantasy Football Rankings (Standard)

Note that quarterbacks, defenses and kickers are all grouped separately towards the bottom. Each of those positions is ranked on their own. This is to allow owners to compare running backs, wide receivers and tight ends for their FLEX spot (without seeing QB, DEF, K mixed in).
