If you need some solid, adjustable rankings and projections for your fantasy football draft, our algorithm can always help you. But it's never a bad idea to have the educated views of our fantasy football analysts on your side, too.
Each week through the start of the regular season, JJ Zachariason, Brandon Gdula, and I (Jim Sannes) will be posting our tiered rankings -- rankings that are numberFire-algorithm indifferent -- to give our premium members a different perspective on this year's fantasy football season. These rankings reflect how we, the analysts, would draft in a half-point-per-reception league by position.
Naturally, it's important to be reactive during your draft. While the rankings may say one thing, given specific circumstances, we may draft differently. These lists can certainly help guide you during your draft, though.
Without further ado, here's a look at the rankings and tiers for the week of August 27th.
