Daily Fantasy Football: GPP Position Rankings

Here’s something new for this week. I am going to attempt to rank my favorite GPP plays at each position. When compiling these rankings, please remember I am not looking at total fantasy points, but rather weighing each player’s potential point-per-dollar upside and factoring in their projected ownership.

It would be much too simple to just create a list of players based on a projection model. These are my picks that take their projections from several different sites into account and weighs the opportunity cost of rostering them at their price vs. playing another player at their position.

Quarterback

  1. Tom Brady
  2. Deshaun Watson
  3. Dak Prescott
  4. Jameis Winston
  5. Joe Flacco

Running Back

  1. David Johnson
  2. Dalvin Cook
  3. Aaron Jones
  4. Leonard Fournette
  5. Ezekiel Elliot

Wide Receiver

  1. Chris Godwin
  2. Josh Gordon
  3. Adam Thielen
  4. DeAndre Hopkins
  5. Emmanuel Sanders

Tight End

  1. Mark Andrews
  2. Tyler Eifert
  3. Evan Engram
  4. Dawson Knox
  5. Noah Fant

Defense

  1. New England
  2. Philadelphia
  3. Tampa Bay
  4. Pittsburgh
  5. Anyone else other than the Redskins (1800 on DK!)
