NFL Season Preseason Rankings Close NFL Draft Guide - 50% Off

Last Updated: Jul 03 2020 10:41 am

Welcome to a very early look at our 2020 NFL Fantasy Football Player Rankings!

The positional rankings are self-explanatory -- broken up into full-point PPR and standard scoring. For the Overall Top 200, Rookie rankings, Dynasty Top 250 and 2-QB Dynasty, we opted to utilize a half-point PPR scoring as it brings us to a respectable middle-ground for all scoring formats, including Best Ball.

We will be updating the rankings as often as necessary based on injury news and actual depth chart movement. No, we will not be boosting someone's ranking because some beat writer is overhyped on a particular guy, but we will likely be making adjustments once the 2020 schedule officially comes out, including what training camp will look like in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

And for all you IDP folks out there, don’t worry. We haven’t forgotten you. Our resident IDP expert Ivar Anderson will have a complete set of preseason rankings for the Defensive Linemen, Linebackers and Defensive Backs. Those too will be continuously updated throughout the summer and leading into Week 1 of the 2020 regular season.

Best of luck to all of you during your fantasy football draft prep.

D. Reed - DB

SF

NBC Sports' Matt Maiocco reports 49ers DB D.J. Reed sustained a torn pectoral.

Reed only played a dozen or so defensive snaps last season, primarily providing value as a core special teamer. A torn pectoral likely sidelines him two months, which makes him questionable for the 49ers' season opener.

A. Brown - WR

NE

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo said there is "a shot" the Seahawks sign free agent Antonio Brown.

Russell Wilson has reportedly been lobbying for his front office to sign Brown, who worked out with Russ in San Diego on Wednesday. Garafolo notes Brown would love to play in Seattle but that the Seahawks could be waiting for Brown's potential league punishment to be sorted out first. As long as Brown stays out of trouble over the next two months, there's a chance he ends up playing in 2020, even if it does in fact come after a lengthy suspension. A three-receiver set of Brown, Tyler Lockett, and DK Metcalf could force the run-obsessed Seahawks to finally let Russ cook. Brown is reportedly wanted by Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson, and other star quarterbacks.

J. Elliott - DL

CLE

Browns signed third-round DT Jordan Elliott to a four-year contract.

Elliott was a top-25 player on some boards. Elliott (6’4/302) went to Texas as a top-150 high school recruit but transferred to Missouri where he started two seasons. He transformed his body going into his redshirt junior season, which led to more twitch off the line of scrimmage and more disruption with his pass rushing moves. His trimmed down build didn’t affect his play strength either. He remained strong against the run and eventually earned second-team Associated Press All-American after compiling 31 tackles, 8.5 TFLs, and 2.5 sacks. A 65th percentile Adjusted SPARQ athlete, Elliott offers quality starter potential at multiple interior positions, especially if he continues reshaping his physical build.

T. Young - DB

BAL

Ravens DC Wink Martindale said slot CB Tavon Young (neck) is "ready to go."

“He looks healthy on the computer,” Martindale said, via the team’s website. “He says he’s healthy. Tavon is ready to go, and if he tells me he’s ready to go, I believe in him 100 percent." Young spent the past year recovering from a surgically repaired neck injury that held him out for the entirety of 2019 but should be available for the start of training camp on July 28. Marlon Humphrey manned the slot on a team-high 333 snaps in Young's stead but should bounce back to the outside in 2020 with Jimmy Smith potentially moving to safety. Baltimore obviously remains flush with options in both its secondary and front-seven.

C. Newton - QB

NE

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Cam Newton's contract includes $550,000 guaranteed.

The details include a $1.05 million base salary with $700,000 in per-game roster bonuses that could cap at $7.5 million. It's truly a bare-minimum 'prove it' deal for Newton as the Patriots were the only team in on the veteran while he was unable to receive either a workout or physical. Coach Bill Belichick reportedly hasn't guaranteed the 31-year-old a starting gig but we would expect the veteran to get the nod over Jarrett Stidham in the team's season opener. It's a low-risk gamble with Championship implications that benefits both sides this year.

T. Taylor - WR

SF

The Athletic's Matt Barrows considers Trent Taylor the favorite to place third on the 49ers in receptions behind George Kittle and Deebo Samuel.

That's if Samuel is healthy. Taylor missed all of 2019 with the same injury Samuel has now, a Jones fracture. Taylor suffered multiple setbacks, ultimately undergoing five surgeries. NBC Sports Bay Area reported in April the Niners were still expecting "big things" from the 26-year-old slot man. Taylor caught 43 balls in 2017 and 26 in 2018. Considering Taylor's health woes and the Niners' crowded, if unsettled, receiver group, 40 is probably a realistic over/under.

G. Kittle - TE

SF

The Athletic's Matt Barrows reports George Kittle's extension could end up in the range of $13 million per season.

Barrows' report is via "someone in the know." That would make Kittle the highest-paid tight end by a comfortable margin — amongst players on multi-year deals, Austin Hooper is the current leader at $10.5 million per season — but perhaps isn't the bank-breaking number some might expect. Kittle's extension has arrived at an awkward time, as the league is staring at potential revenue shortfalls in a fanless season. That would lower the 2021 salary cap. NFL Network's Mike Silver reported in May the sides were "far apart." Kittle's agent has talked up his ability as a blocker and leader in addition to pass catching. It's safe to say Kittle isn't in the market for a hometown discount.

D. Samuel - WR

SF

The Athletic's Matt Barrows reports Deebo Samuel (foot) is dealing with a "classic" Jones fracture.

Barrows reports the timeline is more in the 10-12 week range than the 12-16 that was initially reported. That could be the difference between beginning the season on the reserve/PUP list or not. Barrows does believe the team might exercise extreme caution with Samuel after Trent Taylor's recovery from a Jones fracture went awry last year. So far, Samuel has been sidelined for two weeks.
