It’s time to get excited. The critical draft week of the summer is here, and we’ll have real NFL games in a week. It’s almost go time.
With that in mind, time to revisit the NFL power rankings from a fantasy tilt. This is an unscientific but nuanced measurement of how fantasy-useful each offense is.
Even if the rankings aren’t your jam, you’ll want to keep reading as I offer quick notes about various players and situations. It’s a good resource to read quickly before you step into that draft you’re looking to crush.
