When last we parted Lamar Miller was the starting running back for the Miami Dolphins, Coby Fleener was a backup tight end for the Indianapolis Colts and Brock Osweiler was preparring to take over the Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos. My have things changed. This tends to happen in the NFL so its imperative to check back in every so often and make sure we know where all of these players we will be drafting this August have wound up.
Oh and I am fresh off of three days of covering the NFL Draft for both SiriusXM and Fantasy Alarm. We all know by now that we love Ezekiel Elliott to the Cowboys. But what about all of these other QB's, RB's, WR's & TE's? Well you will notice a few have already made the leap into the rankings here and please know that there are other that I am extrememly high on as well.
The following are my top 100 overall players for fantasy football as we stand right now on May 5th 2016. I have broken them down by position and admittedly did not take very many risks in these rankings. I will be updating these over the next few weeks until I can see how some of these new free agents and draft picks fit with their respective teams during organized team activities and mini-camps.
Let me know what you guys think about the following rankings. Post your thoughts at the bottom of the article or hit me up directly on Twitter @Jeff_Mans.
