| 1. Eddie Lacy |
| 2. Jamaal Charles |
| 3. Marshawn Lynch |
| 4. Le'Veon Bell |
| 5. Adrian Peterson: Swapped him with Gronk, who will now start the year with no Tom Brady. |
| 6. LeSean McCoy |
| 7. Rob Gronkowski |
| 8. DeMarco Murray |
| 9. Matt Forte |
| 10. Arian Foster |
| 11. Jeremy Hill |
| 12. CJ Anderson |
| 13. Aaron Rodgers |
| 14. Andrew Luck |
| 15. Antonio Brown |
| 16. Demaryius Thomas |
| 17. Calvin Johnson |
| 18. Jordy Nelson |
| 19. Dez Bryant |
| 20. Odell Beckham, Jr. |
| 21. Julio Jones |
| 22. Lamar Miller |
| 23. Carlos Hyde |
| 24. AJ Green |
| 25. Randall Cobb |
| 26. Alshon Jeffery |
| 27. Emmanuel Sanders |
| 28. Justin Forsett |
| 29. Alfred Morris |
| 30. Mark Ingram |
| 31. Melvin Gordon: Chargers traded up in the 1st round to get him. He moves way up for me. |
| 32. Jimmy Graham |
| 33. Mike Evans |
| 34. TY Hilton |
| 35. DeAndre Hopkins |
| 36. Kelvin Benjamin |
| 37. Russell Wilson: Moving him above Peyton and Brees. The old guys are on the decline. |
| 38. Peyton Manning |
| 39. Drew Brees |
| 40. Jonathan Stewart |
| 41. Latavius Murray |
| 42. Joique Bell: Down quite a bit. Slightly concerned the Lions used high pick on Abdullah. |
| 43. Frank Gore |
| 44. Todd Gurley: Rams used 10th overall pick on him, but he could start season on PUP list. |
| 45. Andre Ellington |
| 46. Jordan Matthews: Down slightly to this tier, with Eagles drafting a WR in the first round... |
| 47. Brandin Cooks |
| 48. Sammy Watkins |
| 49. Julian Edelman: Also down a couple of spots with the Brady news. |
| 50. Brandon Marshall |
| 51. Keenan Allen |
| 52. Greg Olsen: Moved these two TEs up about ten spots. |
| 53. Travis Kelce |
| 54. DeSean Jackson |
| 55. Jeremy Maclin |
| 56. Andre Johnson |
| 57. CJ Spiller: Clear change-of-pace RB in uptempo offense. Could crack top-50 if 100% healthy. |
| 58. T.J. Yeldon: Another high draft pick who could be the lead RB for his new squad (Jags though). |
| 59. LeGarrette Blount: With so much uncertainty at RB position, Blount rises quite a bit. |
| 60. Giovani Bernard: Gio falls a few spots with others rising. He may need to be down even further. |
| 61. Cam Newton |
| 62. Matt Ryan |
| 63. Tom Brady: Down 2 spots to the bottom of this QB tier. Might reconsider if 4 games becomes 2. |
| 64. Martellus Bennett |
| 65. Golden Tate |
| 66. Martavis Bryant: Up a few spots. If he improves, could be most productive #2 fantasy WR. |
| 67. Roddy White |
| 68. Steve Smith: Ravens drafted a couple of WRs, but Steve Smith main veteran left in the corps. |
| 69. Bishop Sankey: Didn't do much in Year 1, and Titans drafted a RB. Down a bit. |
| 70. Isaiah Crowell: Also down a bit. Duke Johnson will likely end up in the mix for the Browns. |
| 71. Tevin Coleman: This could change in the coming weeks, but Falcons used high pick on him... |
| 72. Darren McFadden: Cowboys didn't get AP and didn't draft a RB. McFadden has the opportunity. |
| 73. Michael Floyd |
| 74. Amari Cooper: Drafted by the Raiders, who recently signed Crabtree. Down to this WR tier. |
| 75. Eric Decker |
| 76. Vincent Jackson |
| 77. Jarvis Landry |
| 78. Torrey Smith |
| 79. Mike Wallace |
| 80. Ben Roethlisberger: Moved above Stafford. Offense should continue to be pass-happy. |
| 81. Matthew Stafford |
| 82. Doug Martin: Down slightly, though still likely to get most carries in Buc offense. |
| 83. Rashad Jennings |
| 84. Chris Ivory: Jets traded a 7th rounder for Zac Stacy, adding to Ivory/Ridley. Ivory down some. |
| 85. Tre Mason: Down a ton. Like I said, Gurley could steal reps as early as Week 1 if healthy. |
| 86. Ryan Mathews |
| 87. Devonta Freeman: With Atlanta drafting Coleman, had to move Freeman down considerably. |
| 88. Fred Jackson |
| 89. Zach Ertz: Moved him to the TOP of this TE tier. |
| 90. Antonio Gates |
| 91. Julius Thomas |
| 92. Owen Daniels |
| 93. Dwayne Allen: And moved Allen to the bottom of this TE tier. |
| 94. Philip Rivers |
| 95. Tony Romo |
| 96. Ryan Tannehill |
| 97. Kevin White: Drafted by the Bears #7 overall. Moved all the way up into top-100! |
| 98. Brandon LaFell |
| 99. Charles Johnson |
| 100. Allen Robinson: Probably was too high for a Jag...so I moved him down. |
| 101. Nelson Agholor: First round pick by Philly. Had to add him to the rankings. |
| 102. Breshad Perriman: ...and the 1st rounder by the Ravens, assuming he can remedy the drops. |
| 103. Joseph Randle: Once again a super valuable backup, now to Mr. Glass himself (McFadden). |
| 104. Charles Sims |
| 105. Ameer Abdullah: He replaces Theo in my rankings, and he made me drop Joique quite a bit. |
| 106. DeAngelo Williams |
| 107. Andre Williams |
| 108. Denard Robinson: With high pick on Yeldon, moved Robinson down many spots. |
| 109. Terrance West |
| 110. Terrance Williams |
| 111. Kenny Stills |
| 112. Larry Fitzgerald |
| 113. Percy Harvin |
| 114. Victor Cruz |
| 115. DaVante Parker: First round pick by the Dolphins, but not sure of instant impact...down a bit. |
| 116. Knile Davis |
| 117. Reggie Bush |
| 118. Shane Vereen |
| 119. Jordan Cameron |
| 120. Jordan Reed |
| 121. Delanie Walker |
| 122. Eli Manning: Moved him above Bradford, but I hate this QB tier...ugh! |
| 123. Sam Bradford |
| 124. Jay Cutler |
| 125. Anquan Boldin: With Crabtree gone, I moved Boldin to the top of this WR tier. |
| 126. Doug Baldwin |
| 127. Brian Quick |
| 128. Pierre Garcon |
| 129. Kendall Wright |
| 130. Cecil Shorts |
| 131. John Brown |
| 132. Dwayne Bowe |
| 133. Jaelen Strong: Texans took him in the 3rd, but he could battle Shorts for #2 WR position. |
| 134. Jason Witten |
| 135. Delanie Walker |
| 136. Kyle Rudolph |
| 137. Austin Sefarian-Jenkins |
| 138. David Johnson: Arizona took him in late 3rd round. Ellington does have some injury issues... |
| 139. Stevan Ridley |
| 140. Danny Woodhead |
| 141. Darren Sproles |
| 142. Colin Kaepernick |
| 143. Teddy Bridgewater |
| 144. Joe Flacco |
| 145. Seahawks DEFENSE |
| 146. Texans DEFENSE: Swapped them with Arizona. No clear #2 fantasy D yet though. |
| 147. Bills DEFENSE |
| 148. Rams DEFENSE |
| 149. Cardinals DEFENSE |
| 150. Patriots DEFENSE |
| 151. Ravens DEFENSE |
| 152. Dolphins DEFENSE |
| 153. Broncos DEFENSE |
| 154. Panthers DEFENSE |

| 164. Matt Bryant |

Lorenzo Taliaferro
Montee Ball
Antone Smith
Branden Oliver
Donald Brown
James Starks
Jerick McKinnon
Dan Herron
Theo Riddick
Travaris Cadet
Khiry Robinson
Zac Stacy
David Cobb: Could immediately replace Shonn Greene in Tennessee as the big plodder.
Duke Johnson: Another young RB for the Browns. Cleveland could have three headed monster.
Matt Jones: Alfred Morris the clear starter, but Jones could get into the mix right away in 2015.
Jay Ajayi: 5th round pick out of Boise State could battle for #2 RB behind Lamar Miller.

| WRs |
Marvin Jones
Michael Crabtree
Kenny Britt
Marqise Lee
Cody Latimer
Davante Adams
Donte Moncrief
Phillip Dorsett: Colts used their first round pick on him, but lots of WR weapons already.
Devin Funchess: Second round pick by the Panthers...borderline top-168, but not yet.
Dorial Green-Beckham: Drafted by the Titans, but don't think he belongs in top-168 either.
Tyler Lockett: Seahawks traded up to get him in 3rd round. They must like him a lot!
Ty Montgomery: This pick had me moving Davante Adams out of the rankings.
Darren Waller: A late round pick by the Ravens, but could develop into better WR than Perriman..
|
| TEs |
Charles Clay
Larry Donnell
Coby Fleener
Tyler Eifert
Josh Hill
Heath Miller
Eric Ebron
Maxx Williams: If Dennis Pitta can't return from injury, he becomes a top-15 or 20 fantasy TE. |

Last year I did a recap of the draft for all 32 NFL teams (from a fantasy perspective, of course). This year, that's not happening. But I am updating my top-168, and I'll add some players at the bottom to keep an eye on (including several rookies who didn't crack the list...for now). Defenses and kickers will stay at the very bottom, but I'll move the defenses up a bit in my next rankings update, whenever that will be. Until then, here is the latest update. Enjoy!
