Thanksgiving Fantasy Football Ranks For Each Position: Derrick Henry, George Pickens and More
Looking for Thanksgiving Day rankings? Look no further — Ian Hartitz has broken them out by position.
For those of you playing Thanksgiving Day-only DFS games (by the way, Pete has a fantastic breakdown on Underdog's contest), entering a pool with your family, or just wanting a piece of Thursday's games for your fantasy-watching enjoyment, here are the rankings for only the players taking part in Thanksgiving Day games. The rank is where they fall overall in my rankings, which you can find here. I also went deeper in my rationale for the ranks in my "10 Things" column — which may or may not include a Thanksgiving Food Rankings list so controversial that it sparked a giant debate internally at Fantasy Life. Like 80+ slack messages.
Here is a link to our full set of Fantasy Life rankings.
Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy the ranks, and good luck!
