We have five quarterbacks in Tier 1 of our preliminary ranking tiers, including the Indianapolis Colts Andrew Luck, looking for a big comeback off an injury plagued and ugly 2015 season.
Draft Buddy is available for the 2016 fantasy football season. Many of you are already drafting numerous redraft, best-ball and dynasty leagues (me too), so download Draft Buddy to get started down the path to hoisting your league trophy at season’s end.
In addition to providing Draft Buddy each season with player projections from FF Today, we also publish our own projections and cheatsheets right here at draftbuddy.com. Today is the day we get started on that with preliminary quarterback redraft ranking tiers.
To be clear, these are just the tiers, not the actual rankings, so do not get too hung up on where a player is relative to players in the same tier. Focus more on the tier groups themselves.
There is no commentary at this time, but as we slowly roll out our fantasy football projections and rankings for the upcoming season the basic plan is this:
- preliminary tiers
- rankings and projections
- player commentary
- ongoing adjustments and updates
With respect to the preliminary tiers, while we have knowledge about current average draft position (i.e. average rankings of players), there was no reference made to ADP creating the tiers. Also, as we dig more into the detailed rankings and projections, a few more outliers from ADP will become more prominent, which will be players we promote to target or avoid in your fantasy drafts.
Please feel free to comment below on the tiers. Who is too high? Who is too low? Who are we totally off base on? Looking forward to your feedback. Lets keep the comments constructive and cool.
