Bobby Sylvester’s Way Too Early 2018 Fantasy Football Rankings

Bobby Sylvester’s Way Too Early 2018 Fantasy Football Rankings

It’s the best time of the year: fantasy football season. What’s that you say? It isn’t fantasy football season?

It just happens to be the start of 2018’s fantasy football season. It is never too early to prepare for your upcoming (in 8 months) draft so you can defend your title. Now you’ve got to understand, there is a TON that will happen in free agency, via trade and obviously in the draft, so in order to build my rankings, I had to predict who would move where and what depth charts might look like. Don’t hesitate to let me know what you think on Twitter. I can handle your fire. I’m in a good mood after all since it’s fantasy football season.
