With fantasy draft season in full swing, it’s time to put the finishing touches on those draft boards. The starting spot for any draft board is a set of overall rankings. Below, you’ll see my top 200 rankings for PPR scoring.
These rankings assume 12-team leagues, but it’s east to adjust in smaller and larger leagues. Those in 10-team leagues can move tight ends and quarterbacks down a few spots, as their relative value compared to players on the waiver wire is lower in leagues of this size. Those in deeper leagues with 14-or-more teams will move quarterbacks and tight ends up. With fewer options on the wire, it’s more important to have steady producers at these two positions in deeper leagues.
You can also check out Jeff's standard Top 200 and the rest of our staff rankings right here.
1. Le'Veon Bell, RB, PIT – Led the league with 28.0 touches per game last year.
2. David Johnson, RB, ARZ – Last-year’s top back is the 1A to Bell.
3. Antonio Brown, WR, PIT – As consistent as they come with double-digit scores in each of the last three seasons.
4. Julio Jones, WR, ATL – Massive target volume, but leaves a little to be desired in the red zone.
5. Odell Beckham Jr., WR, NYG – One of the highest ceilings at the position, but targets could dip slightly with more weapons on the Giants roster.
6. A.J. Green, WR, CIN – Was off to an elite season before getting hurt last year.
7. Mike Evans, WR, TB – Targets could take a slight hit, but he’s still an extremely strong option.
8. LeSean McCoy, RB, BUF – Figures to see heavy volume, though he is entering his age-29 season.
9. Melvin Gordon, RB, LAC – Broke out last year and stands to benefit from the new coaching regime.
10. Jordy Nelson, WR, GB – Led all receivers in touchdowns last year and has Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball.
11. Devonta Freeman, RB, ATL – Finished as an RB1 in back-to-back seasons.
12. Michael Thomas, WR, NO – Broke out last year and now is the clear No. 1 target in New Orleans.
13. Jay Ajayi, RB, MIA – Flashed massive upside with three 200-yard games last year.
14. Jordan Howard, RB, CHI – Finished second in the league in rushing yards despite playing on a bad team.
15. T.Y. Hilton, WR, IND – If Andrew Luck is healthy, Hilton will be a value here.
16. Dez Bryant, WR, DAL – He isn’t the highest-volume option, but Bryant still has touchdown upside.
17. Amari Cooper, WR, OAK – He’s posted 1,000-plus yards in each of his first two seasons.
18. Todd Gurley, RB, LAR – One of last year’s biggest busts, but the talent is still there.
19. DeMarco Murray, RB, TEN – The veteran running back remains the top dog in the Titans backfield.
20. Rob Gronkowski, TE, NE – He’s elite when he’s on the field.
21. Doug Baldwin, WR, SEA – A WR2-plus in each of the last two seasons.
22. Leonard Fournette, RB, JAX – Sure, it’s risky valuing Fournette this high, but he’s very talented and on a team that plans to run the ball a lot .
23. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, DAL – For now, he’s a back-end RB2.
24. Demaryius Thomas, WR, DEN – Despite lackluster quarterback play, Thomas still managed a WR2 season last year.
25. DeAndre Hopkins, WR, HST – Has the potential to rebound and outplay this ranking.
26. Brandin Cooks, WR, NE – Very enticing in his first season with Tom Brady.
27. Marshawn Lynch, RB, OAK – He’ll likely be on a pitch count, but is in an ideal situation to produce.
28. Isaiah Crowell, RB, CLV – Gets to run behind one of the league’s best offensive lines.
29. Alshon Jeffery, WR, PHI – Set up to dominate the target share in Philly.

46. Golden Tate, WR, DET
47. Michael Crabtree, WR, OAK
