2022 Fantasy Football Rankings

Episode 208 of The Sportsballers Podcast, which aired Wednesday night on YouTube and is now available to stream on podcast services provided by Apple, Amazon, Google, and Spotify, was our annual Fantasy Football preview show.

 

On the show, we discussed new fantasy football rules our league has adopted for the upcoming season, settings we love and hate, and players we’re targeting or fading at their current ADPs.

 

What we didn’t dive into as deeply were our full player rankings, and that is because we’re publishing them right here for everyone to see!

 

In our first three years as a podcast, we simply ranked our Top 20 at each offensive position and published our consensus rankings. Last year we ranked our Top 18 quarterbacks and tight ends and our Top 36 running backs and wide receivers.

 

This year, we’ve each ranked more than 200 offensive players to give a more complete look at the players we expect to be fantasy-relevant this season. Let us know how you like this format. Love it? Hate it? We want to know so that every year we can try and make our rankings more useful to you as you make your final preparations for draft day!

 

Note that these rankings are for Half PPR leagues. Standard and Full PPR rankings may differ slightly and our rankings for our league of record are not identical to the ones you see below.

 

Without further ado, we offer for your consideration our consensus Top 150 rankings for offensive players
