We're proud to offer up analysis and advice year-round, but nothing may be more beneficial to our readers than these rankings. Not only do we break down the league's players position by position, but we also include auction values based on a $100 budget in a 12-team league with 16 roster spots to fill. Naturally, every league is different, so consider these rankings based on a standard-scoring format that rewards six points for all touchdowns, minus-two points for turnovers and no points for receptions.

For a list of players ranked on overall Fantasy importance, check out our Top 200 list . Best of all, we update these rankings on a daily basis based on team personnel, depth chart changes and injuries, so whenever you need them, they will be fresh and ready for you all year long.
Green and red arrows signify an increase or decrease in value since the previous rankings release, assuming the player moved significantly. An asterisk denotes injury concerns.
Editor's note: Barring any significant news, our rankings will be locked through Aug. 12, when the CBS SportsLine Fantasy Football Preview Show airs. There will be updated rankings on Aug. 13.
