Your First Fantasy Football Positional Rankings for 2017!

Salute: Pro Football Focus

The best part about fantasy football is the season never ends. Sure, technically speaking, the 2016 NFL regular season is over. But we’re in the thick of the playoffs with the NFL scouting combine just over a month away.

My only objection to these rankings is Le'Veon Bell over David Johnson.  To be sure, on paper, they're interchangeable in the top two spots.  However, Bell has had run-ins with the league office, having been suspended for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.    In addition, 2016 was a contract year for Bell; he hits unrestricted free agency after the season.  Both, to me, are red flags going forward.  In an auction draft, both should go for $50+.  But Bell's past and the issue of motivation after signing the high-dollar contract make me prefer Johnson.
