I've updated my charts as of today's rankings (August 25th, 2013). As always, thanks to fantasypros for their great data. Unfortunately I don't have time to write my insights, but I hope the charts can help you draft! I will scribble notes as I can, or as people bring up things in discussion:
- There are now 23 solid running backs, as Miller, Sproles, and Lacy have emerged from preseason as viable producers. Don't feel pressured to go RB-RB, especially in 10 man leagues.
- Quarterback situation of the top 12 did not change.
- Link to my google spreadsheet I will personably be using. Please make a copy to your personal google drive!
Good luck drafting! Don't forget to follow me (@borisachen) for updates on tiers each week once the season starts.
