Start your fantasy football draft prep by checking out our RB Rankings going into Preseason Week 1.
The Hall of Fame Game gets the NFL preseason underway tonight which means its time to start counting the shopping days until your fantasy football draft. While there may be other important events on your calendar this month, dropping the ball on your fantasy football draft isn’t an option since it sets you up for four months of misery. With training camps already underway, check out my first RB rankings of the year listed below.
Earlier this week, we kicked off our fantasy football coverage with undervalued QBs, RBs, and WRs that I think are entering the preseason representing good value. You’ll notice that I have those 5 RBs ranked higher in my full RB Rankings below than many other sites at this point in the preseason.
To keep up with all our fantasy football coverage and updates to these rankings, drop a bookmark on our FanSided fantasy football hub where you’ll find fantasy coverage including sleepers, rankings, injury news, and overall strategy tips leading up to your draft, after your draft, and throughout the season. We’ll be here to help you throughout the year with the best information for both season-long and daily fantasy formats.
You can discuss these rankings or any other fantasy football questions you have throughout the day in the comment box at the bottom of the page, or you can always find the FanSided fantasy team on Twitter @FansidedFantasy.
