ESPN's weekly PPR, non-PPR and IDP fantasy football rankings are an aggregate of our rankers (eight PPR, four non-PPR, three IDP), listed alphabetically. They are Matt Bowen, Mike Clay, Tristan H. Cockcroft, Daniel Dopp, Eric Karabell, Liz Loza, Eric Moody and Field Yates.
This page provides projections and is sorted by total projected fantasy points. But you should draft based on value, and the difference in how much a player will score relative to others at the same position that you could draft later.
Most leagues follow this pattern, in which fantasy owners tend to adhere to the player rankings provided by the league. While teams rarely select the highest point scorer available - kickers, for instance, tend to get drafted much later than running backs, regardless of their projected output - teams typically follow to point projections by position. In other words, the draft order of wide receivers is nearly identical to the point projection ranking for wide receivers.
Fortunately, there are other cases in which that advice is different. CBS, which manages another widely used fantasy football platform, provides their own projections for their leagues. By comparing the differences in CBS and ESPN point projections to the differences in average draft positions, we can estimate how much drafts are affected by these projections.
These finding have a couple implications. First, fantasy owners can use aggregated projections such as these to take advantage of anomalous league projections. Second, (as will be discussed further in a future post), teams can use projections to anticipate other teams' draft picks, which can be used to model optimal drafting strategies.
Not all fantasy football cheat sheets and sleeper lists are created equal. With so many experts and so many sites, it can be overwhelming to figure out the best source for overall player rankings from one year (and draft) to the next. The constantly updated consensus rankings at Fantasy Pros are a helpful composite, but even with other sites gaining popularity heading into 2023, chances are, many fantasy owners will be drafting and playing most of their leagues on either Yahoo or ESPN.
