FAQ

Why Are Fantasy Football Rankings Important?

Having a good set of fantasy football rankings is vital to dominating your draft and effectively managing your team throughout the season. It doesn’t matter what format you’re playing – it could be anything from a best ball league, a high-stakes league, or a home league with your friends – getting the right players at the right time is the easiest way to set yourself up for success.

Rankings show which players are being underdrafted in your leagues. If you’re routinely able to get players after when they should be going in drafts, it allows you to build an excellent roster.

Rankings can also help you plan out your draft. Let’s say that you need a third receiver and a tight end to round out your lineup, and you’re on the clock with two players that you’re interested in drafting. If the receiver is routinely being drafted a round later than the tight end, you should consider grabbing the tight end first.

Comparing rankings to average draft position – or ADP – is the easiest way to navigate our way through a draft successfully.

Who Are Fantasy Life's NFL Fantasy Rankers?

Our Rankings Hub comprises six separate rankings: Dwain McFarland, Ian Hartitz, Rob Waziak, Matthew Freedman, Paul Charchian, and a consensus ranking.

Dwain McFarland is the Director of Analytics and Lead Fantasy Analyst at FantasyLife. Previously with Pro Football Focus, Dwain is famous for his Utilization Report, which looks at how each player’s role adapts throughout the course of the year. He’s used his football acumen to accrue three top-five finishes in the FFPC.

Ian Hartitz is our Senior Fantasy Analyst, and he’s spent time at The Action Network, NBC Sports, and Pro Football Focus. His process relies on a mix of film analysis and data study.

Rob Waziak is one of the most accurate rankers in the fantasy industry. Regularly placing top-10 in expert competitions.

Matthew Freedman is our Head of Betting, specializing in NFL betting (spreads, totals, futures, and player and draft props). Formerly of FantasyPros and Action Network, he is a five-time top-20 finisher in the FantasyPros rankings accuracy contest.

The composite ranking is merely an average between Dwain, Ian, Rob, and Freedman. If one player has a strong feeling about a strong player one way or the other, the composite ranking is a great way to balance out some of that risk.

What is the Fantasy Life Fantasy Football Rankings Tool?

The FantasyLife Rankings Tool allows you to easily compare how our staff feels about each player when you’re on the clock. You can view the rankings overall – with each ranker posting their top 150 players (or more) – or you can view the rankings by position.
