Early 2007 NFL Rankings
It's way early and there are plenty of things that need to shake out this offseason, but for those readers still hungry for fantasy football content, we've compiled the early fantasy rankings of several NFL Staffers. We've tried to take all of the variables into account as best we can, but of course, these rankings will need plenty of updating as the offseason goes on. Note that these lists were submitted shortly after the Super Bowl.
Our four-man panel consists of:
Michael Beller - RotoWire Assistant Editor
Chris Liss - RotoWire Managing Editor
Derek VanRiper - RotoWire Assistant Editor
Mike Doria - RotoWire NFL Editor
We've compiled each writer's overall top 25 list, as well as their top 10 at the major skill positions.
