BleacherCreatureRotoTalk Weekly Fantasy Football Positional Rankings
Each week will we put out our player rankings. The results are based on statistical analysis from our propriety predictive algorithm. Note, that our algorithm will require four games of data to produce statistically relevant results. Rankings prior to week 5 will contain a larger degree of error until the algorithm is trained.
