Putting together a comprehensive overall draft ranking list for fantasy leagues is a bit of an illusion. Tell me who your first ten picks were and who is off the board, and the ranking of remaining players will change. Scoring wrinkles and league size can skew rankings. This list should still be a good jumping off point for garden-variety PPR leagues, and the rankings within positions are still good no matter the format. You'll find that wide receiver and quarterback are deep, tight end is shallow and running back is full of uncertainty... and that maybe there's a defense or two worth drafting this year! Good luck.

2. David Johnson, RB, ARI - Take at/ahead of ADP
3. Antonio Brown, WR, PIT - Take at/ahead of ADP

17. Davante Adams, WR, GB - Take at ADP
18. Devonta Freeman, RB, ATL - Take at ADP
19. Kareem Hunt, RB, KC - Unlikely to be available where I would target him, worried about return of Ware making weekly scores more volatile
20. Michael Thomas, WR, NO - Unlikely to be available where I would target him, worried about better supporting cast
21. Jordan Howard, RB, CHI - Take at/ahead of ADP - If I had to decide between Mixon and Howard on the clock smoke might come out of my ears
22. Tyreek Hill, WR, KC - Take at/ahead of ADP

24. Christian McCaffrey, RB, CAR - Unlikely to be available where I would target him. Could put up first-round numbers due to volume

37. Julian Edelman, WR, NE - Take in sixth round **Top Target**
38. Chris Hogan, WR, NE - Take in fifth/sixth round. Understand desire to diversify and have only one of Edelman/Hogan/Gronkowski **Top Target**

49. LeSean McCoy, RB, BUF - Would rather not dabble in Buffalo offense, but could deliver second round value
50. Allen Robinson, WR, CHI - Not a preferred fourth/fifth round wide receiver target

54. Jamison Crowder, WR, WAS - Take in seventh/eighth round **Top Target**
55. Golden Tate, WR, DET - Unlikely to be available where I would target him, think Lions wide receiver trio values close
56. Marquise Goodwin, WR, SF - Alternative to Patriots duo/Crowder in sixth/seventh
57. Rex Burkhead, RB, NE - Fifth/sixth round running back if Ingram/Lewis/Lynch gone, Won't talk you out of making him top target

60. Deshaun Watson, QB, HOU - Unlikely to be available where I would target him, better quarterback values available

62. Jamaal Williams, RB, GB - Top running back target in sixth/seventh if Lynch, Burkhead gone
63. Evan Engram, TE, NYG - Potentially a right answer at tight end, but not a preferred target at position

65. Carlos Hyde, RB, CLE - Top running back target in sixth/seventh if Lynch, Burkhead gone
66. Kerryon Johnson, RB, DET - Running back option in sixth if Burkhead and Lynch gone, limited ceiling
67. Greg Olsen, TE, CAR - Potentially a right answer at tight end, but not a preferred target at position
68. Cooper Kupp, WR, LAR - Alternative to Crowder/Sanders in seventh, below for me because Cooks role should be greater than Watkins
69. Marvin Jones, WR, DET - Unlikely to be available where I would target him, worry about Golladay cutting into outside targets
70. Will Fuller, WR, HOU - High ceiling alternative to Crowder/Sanders/Kupp in seventh, below for me because of injury worries

83. Tom Brady, QB, NE - Unlikely to be available where I would target him, better quarterback values available

86. Adrian Peterson, RB, WAS
87. James Conner, RB, PIT
88. Alfred Morris, RB, SF - Presumptive starter with McKinnon out
89. Keelan Cole, WR, JAX - If a Jaguars receiver is going to emerge and provide peaks worth chasing, it's Cole 13th round or later **Top Target**
90. Robby Anderson, WR, NYJ - Argument to take him on pure talent in ninth, some quarterback play worry
91. Devin Funchess, WR, CAR - Good bet to be most productive Carolina wide receiver, but what's that worth?
92. Tarik Cohen, RB, CHI - Will have PPR spikes but likely be unpredictable week to week
93. Chris Thompson, RB, WAS - Injury history, him saying he's not 100%, offsets 2017 that was clearly worth more than this
94. James White, RB, NE - Running back target in eighth/ninth, healthiest back in New England
95. Duke Johnson Jr, RB, CLE - Running back target in eighth/ninth, limited weekly ceiling
96. Delanie Walker, TE, TEN - Unlikely to be available where I would target him, will share more with Jonnu Smith, more varied offense

98. Anthony Miller, WR, CHI - Target in 11th-13th, could repeat Kupp's rookie season from slot **Top Target**

101. Chris Carson, RB, SEA - Ninth round running back target but limited by RBBC and situation

103. Sony Michel, RB, NE - Unlikely to be available where I would target him, worry about missing camp/preseason as a rookie
104. Matt Breida, RB, SF
105. Trey Burton, TE, CHI - Could get off to hot start, possible right answer at tight end, will need to take him in eighth
106. Mike Williams, WR, LAC - Could lead Chargers in touchdown receptions and become Rivers #2, secondary wide receiver target in 11th-12th
107. John Brown, WR, BAL - We know he can play, meshes well with Flacco, 13th round or later target **Top Target**
108. John Ross, WR, CIN - **End Game Target**
109. Tyrell Williams, WR, LAC - Could take another step and outperform modest ADP 13th round or later target
110. Courtland Sutton, WR, DEN - Rising fast, could be Denver's Golladay turning wide receiver group into 1A/1B/1C 13th round or later **Top Target**
111. Sterling Shepard, WR, NYG - Worth ADP, but could be inconsistent as third/fourth option, better potential for profit at wide receiver in his range
112. Matthew Stafford, QB, DET - Could have one of best seasons of career, won't talk you out of targeting him
113. Patrick Mahomes II II, QB, KC - Should be fun, sometimes frustrating. Understand plan of reserving 10th for him
114. Marcus Mariota, QB, TEN - High ceiling if he meshes with new offense and young targets. 10th/11th round possibility
115. Alex Smith, QB, WAS - Cheapest of quarterbacks with Top 6-8 upside outside of Top 10 drafted 10th/11th round possibility
116. David Njoku, TE, CLE - Oozes athletic upside, but will there be enough balls to go around in Cleveland?
117. Aaron Jones, RB, GB - Bench stash, might need Williams injury to realize value, but proven on field
118. Ty Montgomery, RB, GB - Already dinged, could have Duke Johnson Jr usage, could be marginalized
119. Pierre Garcon, WR, SF - What will his value be as #2 in San Francisco with lots of other viable targets, fade at ADP
120. Jordy Nelson, WR, OAK - Hard to buy into redemption narrative, limited ceiling, fade at ADP
121. Kelvin Benjamin, WR, BUF - Prefer to not dabble in Buffalo offense, target different wide receiver in his ADP range
122. Calvin Ridley, WR, ATL - Could deliver with very refined skillset, but will likely need injury to Jones/Sanu to hit, not preferred ADP range target
123. James Washington, WR, PIT - 15th or later round target, #3 role in Pittsburgh has value **Top Target**
124. Chris Godwin, WR, TB - Secondary 13th or later round target, rising talent, lots of mouths to feed.
