Frequently asked questions

Who is the number one fantasy football player?

The list above is live: the top spot reflects the current consensus of independent expert season-long rankings, updated as each source publishes. The ADP column shows where real drafters are taking him.

Is this list PPR or standard?

The consensus blends expert boards that are predominantly PPR, the most common scoring format. For a board built purely from draft position, see the ADP rankings; for format-specific projections, see the projections pages.

How is this different from the redraft rankings page?

Same consensus engine, different lens: this page is the full ranked list of the best players for the season, while the redraft rankings page is the draft-board view with position filters for draft prep.
