Overall Player Ranking
Overall Player Ranking in fantasy football is one of the most important tools a fantasy football owner can have at his/her disposal in preparation for the fantasy football draft.  Players at each position are ranked in order of  their perceived value for the upcoming season.  There are a variety of factors that weigh into how each player is placed on the list.  Coaching changes, offensive and defensive philosophies, player personnel changes, injuries ... each of these areas will greatly affect a player's perceived value for the upcoming season and should be factored into the development of an overall player ranking philosophy.  At Fantasy Football Manifesto we consider  these factors in our prediction of offensive out put for the upcoming fantasy football season.   Click on the links at the left to see how we've ranked the top fifteen players for the categories of quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, team defense and kicker.

The Running Back position is the cornerstone of any great fantasy football franchise.  Most fantasy football leagues require that you start two running backs, but only one quarterback is usually required to round out a fantasy football lineup.  Outside of the quarterback, running backs touch the ball the most of any offensive position on the field.  More touches directly relates to more fantasy football points and by advancing the ball on the ground, through the air, or in goal line situations, running backs have the most potential to score fantasy football points of any position on

the field.   The offensive philosophy of most NFL franchises requires teams to establish the run if they want to win games.  This means that even if the ground game is ineffective, running backs will be fed the ball to try to kick start the rest of the offense. 

There are 32 NFL franchises in the league and of these 32 at least half employ a running back by committee situation where multiple running backs might share the load in the ground game.  So in fantasy football, it becomes a numbers game.  Because there are so few single set running backs in the National Football League that are on the field for every down, this makes the stud, three-down, work horse at the running back position the most important position on your fantasy football team.  If you can lock up a couple of these workhorse backs, depending on the size of your fantasy football league, you can dominate your competition.  Pair two stud running backs with a solid quarterback and hit on a couple of late round wide receivers, and you, my friends, have the makings of a championship squad.
