As many of you know, I much prefer tiers to straight rankings. I like to look at players in similar ranges, which are based around their ability and upside, to see who is available right before I make a pick. I think this makes for easier drafting and gives you a better idea of where players rank across multiple positions.

Tier 1: The Game Changers

These are the guys who are expected to make the biggest impact and will be selected in the first three rounds of most fantasy leagues.

Patrick Mahomes, KC
Lamar Jackson, BAL

Tier 2: The Next Best

If you don’t draft Mahomes or Jackson, these are the next best guys who will likely go in Rounds 4-7.

Dak Prescott, DAL
Deshaun Watson, HOU
Russell Wilson, SEA
Kyler Murray, AZ
Josh Allen, BUF

Tier 3: High-Upside Guys

These players have the upside to help you win a fantasy title, and you can draft them in Rounds 8-12.

Matt Ryan, ATL
Tom Brady, TB
Daniel Jones, NYG
Ben Roethlisberger, PIT
Carson Wentz, PHI
Drew Brees, NO

Tier 4: Imperfections

These guys have the talent, but something is keeping them back from being consistent contributors. You can most likely draft them in Rounds 9-15.

Matthew Stafford, DET
Jared Goff, LAR
Baker Mayfield, CLE
Aaron Rodgers, GB
Kirk Cousins, MIN
Ryan Tannehill, TEN
Jimmy Garoppolo, SF

Tier 5: New Faces, New Places

These players are in new systems, and it might take them some time to get adjusted. However, the talent is there, so don’t overlook them. They will go in Rounds 11-20 depending on your league.
