As we always caution with our Top 200’s, this isn’t a glorified mock draft. The first 50 or so picks of your draft should consist of mostly the same names, but after that, anything can happen. Some owners will reach for specific positions, and handcuffs could go earlier depending on how risk-adverse the owner of that handcuff’s starter is. Defenses will likely go earlier than we have them ranked, but as far as we’re concerned, that’s fine – let others overdraft fantasy’s most volatile position.

One thing to note is that in PPR rankings, quarterbacks and defenses inherently slide down. They don’t catch passes, so they simply can’t score as many points. Many owners will still associate what round it is with when a player/position “should” be picked, though, so don’t be surprised if QBs and D/STs go higher than we have them ranked. Ultimately, it’s all about building a team, and every owner has a different strategy.

Regardless, RBs and WRs will come off the board first, and we’ve moved up many WRs thanks to their pass-catching prowess. Some tight ends also get a slight bump, but it’s not quite as pronounced since running back is still a much more important position.

We also have to point out that lower-tier handcuffs (and even third-stringers) could be in more popular demand this year due to COVID-19 concerns – and that’s not limited to RBs. We don’t have many ranked in our Top 200, but that’s another factor that could render the last quarter of this list relatively useless. Plan accordingly throughout your draft.
