Looking at the top 15 of our overall rankings for 2015, you won't find a single player with shortstop eligibility. That isn't the case with catcher, first base, second base, third base, outfield, or starting pitcher -- shortstop and relief pitcher are, in fact, the only mainstream fantasy positions missing from this list. Why? Because, well, they aren't very strong positions.

We only have one shortstop projected to have an average over .285, only one shortstop in the 20/20 club, we don't have anyone sniffing 100 RBI or runs scored, and we only have three players projected to hit over 20 homers.

The rankings below reflect the numberFire algorithm's projections and what we call our “numberFire score”. The score, from a high level, takes a player’s contributions across all relevant scoring categories (5X5 league) and adjusts for position scarcity.

Without further ado, let's take a look at this year's top shortstops.

1. Ian Desmond, Washington Nationals

Not a whole lot has changed at the position since last year. Except, of course, that our top-ranked shortstop is here.
