The following countdown details my top 150 quarterbacks, running backs,
receivers and tight ends for the
preseason.
Why no defense/special
teams? Other than the Seahawks, 49ers and Bears (Chicago posted nine DEF
touchdowns, 41 sacks last year), defenses are largely dime-a-dozen
assets in the fantasy realm.
Why no
kickers? I only perform the painstaking — and often pointless —
task of ranking kickers just once a year. (Later this week.)
