Let’s start by saying that it’s way too early for 2017 rankings. There’s so much left to happen between the NFL Draft and the finalizing of free agency, as there are still some big names out there. But we’re addicts, fantasy players who can never get enough of an advantage. Heck, you may be playing MFL10’s already and just want to exploit the players who haven’t seen their price corrected yet.
Maybe you just want to get a leg up on your competition by knowing and understanding where the rankings are now before everyone starts overreacting to the rookies. Whatever the case is, I’m here to help.
I’ve put together my way-too-early 2017 rankings by position. It’s important to keep in mind that these will be changing drastically after the NFL Draft, but assuming all remains the same, here we are. Check them out and then go to Twitter @MikeTagliereNFL to tell me who you think I’m too high or too low on.
