2011 Fantasy Cheat Sheet: Top 50 F’s
Last week we released the Updated Top 100 Overall rankings; this week we are breaking down the performers at each individual position. We tackled the guards on Tuesday. Today we’ll rank the Top-50 forwards
As outlined last week, with these updated lists I approach the rankings as if I was heading into a draft today and each drafted player would start accruing stats from this day forward. I attempt to factor in prior performance, projected future production, and even try to take into account the possibility/probability of injuries as well – which is always tricky.
It is especially important to mention that, as always, these rankings are based on a nine-category rotisserie league format – the nine categories being: points, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, three-pointers made, turnovers, FG%, and FT%.
Also please note any player with guard eligibility in Yahoo! Fantasy Leagues will be listed; which means many players will be ranked at multiple positions, i.e. forward as well as center…
