Did you draft yet? No? Good job.
With most of the preseason out of the way and a lot of the news that comes with it, you should have a much better idea about the fantasy landscape. Now that you’re armed with that information, you can draft with a lot more confidence.
Without a shadow of a doubt, I know this final Big Board article is written with a lot more confidence than the initial article from the beginning of the month. At that time, I wasn’t high on Derrick Henry and thought Tyler Eifert would be a top-five tight end. My opinions of both players have changed drastically because I got to watch Henry and learned that Eifert would miss multiple games to start the season.
Even as I updated my projections in preparation for this article, we learned about Teddy Bridgewater’s horrific knee injury among other tidbits around the league that caused a ripple effect in the fantasy world.
You have just over a week to conduct your draft and set your lineups before the Carolina Panthers host the Denver Broncos in the season opener next Thursday. While this will be my last preseason Big Board article update, I will provide additional rankings updates here if significant news goes down in the next week.
We’ll take a look at who’s made the biggest moves since last week, values and overvalues based on average draft position (ADP) and some sleepers. My rankings in this article are for points-per-reception (PPR) leagues, but you can find non-PPR rankings here.
