Every year, as the NFL season approaches, we gather with friends, family, and fellow team managers. There is usually plenty of pizza, chicken wings, and other smoked or fried foods on the table. Between bites, we compare notes, make our picks, and build our fantasy rosters for the season ahead.

I do not recommend blindly following every piece of advice from fantasy analysts. It is better to trust your judgment when players are ranked closely together or in the same tier. However, using rankings can give your draft a clear structure and help improve your results.

Here are my updated draft rankings for this year. Use them as a guide, make smart calls, and enjoy the food and the company while you put together a team that can win your league.
