Fantasy Football: Mid July Top 150 Positional Rankings
By Chris Smith
Need help with preparing for your fantasy football league? The Fantasy Guru is here once again to give you a few tips on how to play the crazy game of fantasy football.
One of the most important things in fantasy football is to keep moving with the times and that is never more true than when it comes to rankings. A month after my last set of rankings were released we’ve had all sorts of news come through including arrests, injury reports and the franchise tag deadline. So today it’s about time I gave you guys an update on where you should look to draft players.
One quick note – I have decided from now on to do positional rankings only. I’ve never ranked kickers and never will but now I’m not going to rank defenses either simply because this is one area where they can be so interchangeable. When we get to the season I’ll be ranking the defense each week and you will see some massive fluctuations in these rankings as they’ll be matchup based.
So without further ado, here are my top 150 positional ranks:
- LeSean McCoy, PHI – RB1
- Aaron Rodgers, GB – QB1
