You could spend your hard earned money on any fantasy football magazine and choose from a plethora of publications. You might also choose to subscribe to an online fantasy source and pay for their analyses. And if that sounds like you we highly recommend the NFP (National Football Post) publication.

Or you could choose to ignore said publications or perhaps augment them by working out your mouse right here and go click happy at ProFootball24x7.com for fantasy insight, depth charts, positional spotlights and of course our player rankings.

And perhaps the best news other than the quality of information contained on this launching pad for fantasy information – it’s all free thanks to the fine sponsors who support us here at 24×7.

So, let’s get started…

Immediately below this paragraph you will find links by position to every NFL team’s depth charts and how those players and depth charts can help to shape your thinking as you map out your strategies for draft day.

Now to help you populate your draft board we have provided below our rankings by position with a spotlight player from each position. Some of the spotlighted players may even surprise you but bear with us, there’s a method to the madness as you will soon discover.

Throughout the season we will break down each game and provide projected stats for each contest for all relevant players. We will also encourage discussion, some friendly debate and an open forum for your fantasy football thoughts on our fantasy message boards.

Good luck in your drafts.

The season is now upon us…

Kurt Backert

Kurt's passion for the game began in the 60's watching the Colts on TV and at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore. He began following the statistics of not only his beloved Colts but also those of the Colts opponents, with a keen eye on Vince Lombardi's Packers. His thirst for and attention to statistical detail would eventually lead Kurt on a journey to the world of fantasy football in the late 1980's where he's captured more titles than John Wooden's UCLA Bruins Kurt carries a distinction that no other fan of the NFL can boast about. He is the reigning NFL National Trivia Champion and he credits his Dad for passing on such passion for the game.
