As we prepare for fantasy football drafts, I thought I'd share my own personalized fantasy football cheat sheet tier rankings I'm taking to a draft later today. Decimal point scoring system (.1 for every rush or receiving yards), 6 pts for all TD's, -2 for fumbles, .5 PPR

13   Rhodes, Dominic                     4
13   Smith, Kolby                           6
13   Charles, Jamaal                      6

I came up with these by using the draft anaalyzer and then I made some tweaks of my own for things the DAN can't take into consideration (average draft position; personal intuition and preference; unsurity of health; etc). Not all players are listed as that would take up too much room, and not all potential handcuff's to the top studs are listed. Good luck!

You are not allowed to post any more rankings. If LT is the only tier 1 RB in your mind, why draft at all? He is not the be all end all at RB. I wouldn'tbe surprised if AP, and westbrook do as well if not better. Not to mention Gore, Jackson, and LJ, who will bounce back in a big way this year.

Not sure if any Rams are a 1st round pick this year.  I like Michael Turner and Ernest Graham a little higher.  Other than that, looks great.

I don't get how Willie Parker is a tier 9 rb.  Just because he broke his leg shouldn't be the reason he is so low.  He looks good so far and should be a tier 5 or 6.

Some people don't understand what tiering is about or how to set them up and make them scoring system specific. Not hassling a little criticism. As for the rankings, these are now a week old and have changed. Can't be oputting them up every week, just wanted to give an example of the thinking last week with this one specific league.

I don't understand why the DAN is not uptodate.  Using my scoring system Rudi is still ranked higher than C.Perry, Mendenhall is higher then Parker, Fargas is still ranked low for being named the starter.
