Player Rankings

In 2009, CBSSports.com's Fantasy Football rankings won the coveted New York Times/FantasyFootballLibrarian.com Rankings Accuracy Award as well as TheBigLead.com Rankings Accuracy Award. Both accolades are a testament to the hard work and dedication we put in to making our rankings reliable for you. This is where you can get a good first look at how players at key Fantasy positions rank against each other.

For the first offseason ever, both Senior Fantasy Writers -- Jamey Eisenberg and Dave Richard -- will provide their personal rankings. Whether you prefer one writer over the other or are looking for a consensus opinion, Jamey and Dave's rankings are a tool at your disposal all offseason long.

You'll also notice a dollar value next to most players' names. That is the estimated auction value of a player/DST in a standard-scoring league with a $100 auction budget. A player with no value next to his name is expected to be available after your auction.

We change these rankings as necessary, but Fantasy owners should not necessarily expect alterations on a daily basis. When these rankings do change, green and red arrows will signify an increase or decrease in value since the previous rankings release, assuming the player moved significantly.
