Spring is here!

It’s a time when many fantasy fans are gearing up for a new Major League Baseball season or simply gearing up to root for their favorite MLB teams. (Let’s Go Yankees!).

With spring also comes the next step in preparing for the next NFL season … the draft. At that point, we will have a pretty good idea of what rosters, depth charts, and fantasy values will look like.

Until then, however, I like to put together my pre-NFL draft fantasy rankings. I’ve already covered the individual positions, so now it’s time for my top 200 all based on PPR scoring. But before I start, here are some little tidbits for you to nibble on regarding last season’s stats.

  • Among the top 100 non-quarterbacks from a season ago, 54 were wide receivers. Running backs accounted for 32 spots, and 14 were tight ends. If we expand that to the top 200, 102 were wide receivers, 59 were running backs and 39 were tight ends.
  • In all, 51 percent of the top 200 players were wideouts, 30 percent were runners and 19 percent were tight ends. Interestingly, however, 11 of the top 20 players were backs while eight were wide receivers and one (Brock Bowers) was a tight end.
  • Quarterbacks, who score the most points among the four offensive skill spots based on the nature of the position, made up 11 of the top 20 players when added to the top 200. One thing you’ll notice in my top 200 is the big drop-off in terms of where I have my QB5 (Joe Burrow – 52nd) ranked and my QB6 (Baker Mayfield – 82nd).
  • You can wait on a quarterback and still get a solid option in your fantasy draft. I have Caleb Williams, Justin Fields, Jared Goff and Dak Prescott (among others) ranked outside of the top 90. Justin Herbert, Jordan Love and Tua Tagovailoa are outside of the top 100. Unless you’re dead set on getting one of the top five quarterbacks, I’d be patient and get one in the middle to late rounds.

Here's the entire list of my Top 200 fantasy players!
