Sure the 2016 NFL Regular Season has just ended and all of the champagne has been consumed for those who won fantasy football championships. So you may be asking yourself: what do I do now? The answer of course is to start preparing for next years draft of course!
I am already so excited about next year that I simply cannot contain myself. I have already gone over the coaching vacancies, reviewed the potential free agents and projected some of the depth chart movements for the 2017 NFL season. So, why the heck not put together some player rankings as well.
Here are my way too early 2017 fantasy football player rankings including my top 12 players at each position and my top 24 overall. Obvioulsy these will change considerably as we progress through the NFL offseason. You will notice player like Jamaal Charles and Hunter Henry ranked quite high here and I hope that you all understand that these guys are placeholders for who I believe will be the starters for each of their teams.
