Average Magazine Rankings - Overall
Posted 7/18 by Clayton Gray, Exclusive to Footballguys.com
Below, you will find the rankings from seven popular fantasy football magazines,
which were among the first magazines to hit major newsstands. You will also
see the average, the medium, the highest rank, and the lowest rank. We offer
these compiled magazine rankings as a guide, but obviously not to tell you what
player to draft. Instead, use these rankings as a tool to help you spy on the
magazine drafters in your league. If there is a player/team that you consider
a sleeper, these rankings can help you judge his proper draft position in your
league. If a player/team is highly rated by the magazines, the average magazine
drafter will likely take them early. Conversely, if a player/team is rated low
by the magazines, the average magazine drafter will likely not take them early.
For the overall rankings, we only considered the top 50 players by each magazine
(although one magazine didn't go out to 50).
