Matthew Berry's PPR top-200 fantasy football rankings

Written by

Below are my fantasy football rankings for the 2020 season in an ESPN standard league (1 QB, full PPR). This rankings list will likely not do well in any postseason analysis of "accuracy," because this follows my drafting philosophy I laid out in the Draft-Day Manifesto. That is to say, I value running backs early over wide receivers due to the positional depth at WR, and in the mid-to-late rounds I value upside and potential to be an elite factor at certain points in the season over players who have a usable weekly floor but are very unlikely to win you a week.

For example, I have J.K. Dobbins a full round ahead of Tarik Cohen. Now, Cohen is a nice player and will play every week. He will get you points every week and at the end of the season is more likely than not to have a lot more total fantasy points than Dobbins. But Cohen will never be anything more than a flex play with upside on the few occasions each year he has a long touchdown play. Even if something were to happen to David Montgomery, Cohen would not take over the starting role. Cohen is what he is: a nice pass-catching back who will get eight to 12 touches a game.

Meanwhile, at the moment, Dobbins is scheduled to back up Mark Ingram II and might not see the field in a meaningful way for many weeks, maybe even the entire season. But he was an incredibly talented back in college and if anything were to happen to Ingram, Dobbins would be a top-10 running back, an explosive player with a significant role on the best rushing offense in the NFL. Dobbins would be a guy who could win you the week and potentially the league. And in the range both guys are going, I'll take the risk and upside with Dobbins over the safer but much lower ceiling of a guy like Cohen all day, every day.

In an ESPN 10-team league, only 160 players will be drafted, hence players 141 through 160 are defenses and kickers. But for those who play in deeper leagues, there are 200 players ranked below. As always, these ranks are meant to be used as a loose guideline more than a hard-and-fast document. Every draft is different and you'll often need to veer off the sheet based on your roster construction and how the rest of the draft is going.

This will be updated often throughout the preseason as more news becomes available, so check back frequently. There will always be a timestamp at the top to let you know when the ranks have been most recently updated. Thanks and happy drafting!
