2024-12-19 11:50:18Finance
It's a new season and everyone is on equal footing in the battle for a fantasy football championship. The first step toward that goal is getting off to a strong start. That's where we come in, providing you with updated rankings at each position right up until kickoff on Sunday. So let's do this!
Fantasy football rankings for Week 1 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, Sportsbook Wire.
