Fantasy Football Preview:
As the season presses ever closer everyone who counts’ favorite pastime NFL football is again at the forefront of male minds everywhere.  It’s getting close to time to start thinking about fantasy football and the schedules, strategies, and league planning.  The Draft rankings do not mean much at this point in the game as pre-season games may bring injury and unearth rising new stars, but here are top 36 as they stand presently on the NFL's Fantasy football website.
  1. Arian Foster (RB) HOU
  2. Aaron Rodgers (QB) GB
  3. Ray Rice (RB) BAL
  4. LeSean McCoy (RB) PHI
  5. Tom Brady (QB) NE
  6. Drew Brees (QB) NO
  7. Maurice Jones-Drew (RB) JAC
  8. Calvin Johnson (WR) DET
  9. Ryan Matthews (RB) SD
  10. Matthew Stafford (QB) DET
  11. Chris Johnson (RB) TEN
  12. Larry Fitzgerald (WR) ARI 
  13. Cam Newton (QB) CAR
  14. Rob Gronkowski (TE) NE
  15. Darren McFadden (RB) OAK
  16. Andre Johnson (WR) HOU
  17. Matt Forte (RB) CHI
  18. Wes Welker (WR) NE
  19. Roddy White (WR) ATL
  20. Greg Jennings (WR) GB
  21. Jimmy Graham (TE) NO
  22. Trent Richardson (RB) CLE
  23. Julio Jones (WR) ATL
  24. Steve Smith (WR) CAR 
  25. DeMarco Murray (RB) DAL
  26. A.J. Green (WR) CIN
  27. Marshawn Lynch (RB) SEA
  28. Mike Wallace (WR) PIT
  29. Jamaal Charles (RB) KC
  30. Hakeem Nicks (WR) NYG
  31. Adrian Peterson (RB) MIN
  32. Brandon Marshall (WR) CHI
  33. Steven Jackson (RB) STL
  34. Tony Romo (QB) DAL
  35. Demaryius Thomas (WR) DEN
  36. Victor Cruz (WR) NYG 

 As you can see this is the projected order of the first three rounds of a 12 team league.  Out of 36 picks RB and WR split at 14 a piece, 6 QBs, and only 2 TEs.  Though first round is half runners, followed by four QBs, and two receivers, the receivers dominate the following rounds as even the two tight-ends taken play like wide-receivers.  The league has definitely become more pass heavy but that just makes a solid running-back more valuable which is why the top guys are taking before wide-receivers because there is much more receiving talent that can be found later in the draft as opposed to that of running-backs.  I encourage you all to do your homework and do some mock drafts for fun. More updates coming soon.
