Well, slap me silly and call me Shirley.
It’s almost time for football, ergo fantasy drafts are
rampant this time of year. And what better way of preparing for one
than with the inaugural Daily Bruin Fantasy Football Draft
Guide.
For the sole purpose of providing a little guidance, you will
find here position-by-position rankings, commentary on every
player, sleeper picks and overrated bums.
The following number of players have been
ranked:
– 25 quarterbacks
– 25 running
backs
– 50 wide
receivers
– 12 tight ends
– 12 kickers
– 12 defenses
As a general tip, don’t just rely on these rankings. After
all, I don’t want to receive hate mail in December about how
your team has a 3-7 record.
It’s always good to expose yourself to multiple Draft
Guides before formulating your own opinion, not to mention the fact
that there exist multiple scoring systems in Fantasy Football.
These rankings are based on a rather common scoring system:
OFFENSE – 25 passing yds = 1 pt – passing TD =
4 pts – 10 rushing yds = 1 pt – 10 receiving yds = 1 pt –
rushing/receiving TD = 6 pts – 2 pt conversion = 2 pts
DEFENSE
– turnover = 2 pts
– sack = 1 pt
– safety = 2 pts
– defensive or special teams TD = 3 pts
– shutout = 10 pts
– 2-6 pts allowed = 7 pts
– 7-13 pts allowed = 4 pts
– 14-17 pts allowed = 1 pt
KICKING
– 39 yd or less FG = 3 pts
– 40-49 yd FG = 4 pts
– 50 plus FG = 5 pts
– extra point = 1 pt
Quarter Backs
Running Backs Wide Receivers Tight Ends Kickers Defenses
Hopefully you will find this Draft Guide of some use. Good luck
in 2001 Fantasy Football and pray your team stays healthy.
