Draft Insights for Fantasy Football
As your fantasy football draft approaches, consider how our team’s projections—backed by CBS Fantasy Game and SportsLine—rank the top players per position in a PPR format. The rankings are established based on projected total Fantasy Points for the season, but we also present the expected per game average. Each player’s rank is informed by the Fantasy Football Today Expert Consensus.

Bolded players indicate those that our model assesses as underrated. We do not recommend drafting them as early as suggested. For instance, while we see Mark Andrews as a Top 5 TE, we recommend waiting until the 6th or 7th round to choose him rather than the 4th.
Betting Insights
- Joe Burrow’s Passing Yards Leader: At +500 with Caesars, Burrow is projected for 4848 yards this season, following a strong performance last year with 4918 yards.
- Mark Andrews: Expected to transition from 11 touchdowns last season to 9, though we believe he remains a top target for the Ravens and can exceed 5.5 touchdowns this season.
With the season rapidly approaching, these insights could guide your draft strategy and betting decisions.
