English’s Early 2015 Fantasy Football Rankings
Last month, Jared Smola released his Ridiculously Early 2015 Fantasy Football Rankings. Matt Schauf followed with his Early Top 100. Now, it’s my turn to forecast the 2015 season.
Sure, we’re still a month away from the NFL Draft, and plenty will change as May approaches. But free agency has died down. From here, Michael Crabtree, Greg Jennings, Ahmad Bradshaw and a rehabbing Stevan Ridley look like the best remaining fantasy prospects. (Yuck.)
Unsurprisingly, none of those guys made my initial rankings. Who did? Let’s take a look...
