As our team previews are over half the way done, it is time to release the first of my top 100 players for the 2014 season. These rankings are based on my personal beliefs on players, along with my overall philosophy in drafts this year. You will notice that there is a significant drop off from QB 3 to QB 4, as well as many TE’s being ranked in the lower third of the top 100. The positional rankings will look different than this set of rankings, because we had other writers for those. The TE position is the one that I covered, and you may notice a couple of changes there as well. The changes that I have made are based on new information I have read, along with stats and figures I have looked at more closely to try and smooth out the rankings in an attempt to accurately predict how I see each player performing.
Enough talking about the rankings, let’s take a look at my top 100 Fantasy Football players for 2014:
