2012 Fantasy Football Rankings v1.1

Yes, I realize it's still only the second half of July, but I want to update my rankings anyway.  After finishing "Guys I'll Let Someone Else Draft" and working on (teaser alert!) "Guys I Might Reach For a Round Early", it makes me think that I need to adjust my personal rankings to account for some of these opinions of mine.  Also, there are idiots getting arrested left and right, so I can move Mr. Skittles down my board even further.  I'm only going to add comments where I've moved someone around.  For previous comments, check my original rankings. 1. Arian Foster

2. Ray Rice

3. Calvin Johnson

4. Aaron Rodgers

109.Justin Blackmon

110.Titus Young
